Zombies sell, says Take-Two chief

where`s L4D3?....

Zombies? Well, in the old days was killing nazis, then it became killing terrorists, now is the zombies. Meh...

I think the next big thing gona be killing bunies, yeah, I'm gona make a million on that.

Really? Zombies in everything? I just don't get it.

I do like zombies, but I don't think I want them in *every* game...although seeing them in GTA 5 would be fantastic.

Do Zombies everywhere and it will get very boring. No thanks. Even in Horror Games it does not always have to be Zombies. Try creating interesting and disgusting creatures.

Please God no....

Nice job casuals, ruining the industry, one fad at a time.

This is my personal opinion, but I HATE stereotypical zombies in video games. The games that are the exeptions are Resident Evil, (has mutant monsters as well as zombies) Left 4 Dead, (the special infected add some enemy variety) Diablo 2, (Necromancer class uses undead as minions) Torchlight, (summon zombies spell) and Deadspace (Necromorphs are not zombies in the "traditional" sense).

I would rather have more games with vampires or perhaps games that put a new twist on zombies. The whole "Hollywood style" zombie thing has been done to death. /pun intended

I loved the concept of zombies in Wild West. They could be fun in GTA too. But in games like Borderlands and Max Payne they have just gotten boring. Smart civilized enemies FTW!

I'd still like to see one last zombie game about the outbreak process. Say you start a day in GTA with a couple of zombies somewhere. Things seem entirely normal but bit by bit the zombies start to take over the city, unless by some chance the zombies are taken out before the critical moment. Kind of like Stubbs The Zombie game but reversed so that you are a clueless human until it's too late. The city should only have a set number of population, so if you manage to kill the entire population of 400 000 people, there should be no more. But if you die it's game over and start the "simulation" over.

"everyone always loves zombies,"

I hate zombies. the ONLY games I own that has zombies in it would be Diablo2 and 3. And I certainly don't buy those games for the zombies.

Actually, I AVOID buying games where the main focus is zombies, because not only have I never liked them, I've actually grown to despise them.

RE is the pioneer of all zombie games.

Let's be honest. A zombie DLC pack for GTA V would probably be the best thing ever.

Imagine ploughing through a sea of undead on empty city streets in a hummer (patriot). Would be even cooler if the zombies only came out at night. During the day there's people looting and killing eachother for survival then at night the zombies emerge and all hell breaks loose.

good games sell mate, not "zombies" i can name a few zombie games that failed miserably and movies too...

Would sell even more if RDR wold be released to PC but it seems they already have enough money!

I think RDR was already a good game in general, and Undead Nightmare was more icing on the cake.

I don't think zombies should be in everything.  And honestly, I really don't want them to be - even if it is optional.

Zombies sell because Microscam has made it's fanboys mindless ones..

Boobies are still better.

It's not like he's wrong though...

Zombie sells because we are becoming more and more like it.

Killing zombies is like killing people without the need for remorse.

We hate the way that we have become and yet we are helpless in making change. Killing zombies makes us feel as if we have overcame our fear and are back in control of our zombie-like lives.

I love zombies too, so this is more of a reflection than a critique on other people.

This article might have been relevant 30 years ago.

He is on fire, man control your mouth, jezzz

In other news, good games sell, zombies or not.

I don't know what the big obsession is with zombies and why everybody wants them in every game, I'm sick of seeing them everywhere....pissed me off when they made that zombie pack for red dead redemption which was my favorite game I ever played on console...wasted a crap dlc for a amazing beautiful game....I'm sure the kids got their fun out of their zombie killing though.

Damn shame.

Idiot exec talk. I've heard so many stupid comments of late coming from the mouths of corporate monkeys in executive positions that have nothing to do with the actual development of games, they spout all sorts of inane speculation as if they're somehow expert game designers. When are publishers just going to shut the fuck up about creative decisions?

zombies do love zombies

geez, i'm SO tired of zombies. how about dinosaurs and multiplayer underwater scuba hunting/welding should be next. you know where the dino's try to stop you from fixing stuff. fps t-rex swiming after you kinda' stuff. what do you say?

I wish this guy was wrong, because he sounds like a money-grubbing jackass, but I can't.  People just eat up anything with zombies in it.  

I personally never tire of zombies.... however i do want to see dinosaurs more (the ones in Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon count as dinos lol oh oh oh and more robots :D Binary Domain was an awesome that no one played unfortunately :(..... how about more mutants? zombies technically can be considered mutants though lol

Zombies are boring, overhyped, and did I mention boring?

Eddie Makuch proves, yet again, that you're all idiots that fall for his tired-ass misleading titles. How embarrassing. 

I'm tired of zombies. How about dinosaurs?

I can only assume this flurry of half-baked sound bites from Strauss Zelnick is fueled by just one thing: cocaine.  Lots of it.

Wow, Strauss is a genius, no wonder he's CEO!  

And I'm only half-joking here.  He may actually have a good point honestly, if you think about it.

Hopefully this means some sort of zombies in GTA V... For the love of god, please!!!

Go home Take-Two CEO, you're drunk.

they need to start gagging this guy. he seems to just always be running off at the mouth...

Put zombies in GTA V... that's all I ask... then that will be all I need to have zombies. That and RDR. I'll have a modern era based game with zombies, and an old west era based game with zombies. That's all I would need in games for zombies.
