What about an Open-World Zombie Game?

I think that would be pretty awesome, a 3rd person or first person Zombie game based off the likes of Dawn Of The Dead/28 Days Later. You run through an entire city, infested with zombies, trying to get out. It can use online multiplayer, customizable characters and weapons from the environment, vehicles, all that good stuff. I think that would be awesome. Maybe an a deeper inventory system like Alone In The Dark but cooler and maybe a little more polished but with great dialogue and narrative to boot to keep things flowing and interesting. I think that'd be crazy... I don't know...

I know we have Dead Rising and all that but imagine a WHOLE CITY taken over by zombies and you and some NPC's trying to escape alive and stuff.... pretty cool...

NO!?!?!!?!?! What do you think?

Call of Duty: World War Z. Thank me later Activision.

I REALLY want a World War Z game!

zombies are starting to be overused :/ And this is coming from a big Zombi fanThunderdrone

Well yes and no I mean... there has never been an open-world zombie game and if it was made by like... Sucker Punch or Rockstar or even.... uhm... whoever Treyarch for all i care, just a trusted developer, it may turn out to be pretty crazy. But i want an eastern game though, none of those anime Capcom crapolas I'm tired of those....

I always wanted a zombie mod for GTA4. Run around in cars and just kill everything that gets in your way.

What kind of zombies would you guys rather have? The old RE ones that were slow, or the L4D/28 Days Later kind of zombies. jfcundiff

I think a cool aspect they should add would be something out of The Thing. Any of the NPC's in your party could become infected at any time and you do not know it. During the game, the infected NPC's start to give off clues of them being infected. They react incertain and unusual ways. You then have choices to make whether it be leave them alone, kill them to protect your allies, or help find a cure of sorts. It would be a cool gameplay aspect.

DEFINITELY THE L4D/28 Days Later crazy joints that run fast and are mad strong.. not the stupid slow moving Frankenstein losers

I give a huge thumbs up to this idea.

To add to my NPC idea; depending on your decisions throughout the game, the NPC's relationship with one another can either become stronger or fall apart throughout the course of the game. Say one of them think someone is infected, there interactions with that person can tear the group apart. People do not work together or abandon the group. They might start getting paranoid and want to kill each other, etc. That is just a small example.

Not really a complete open world zombie game.

Think GTA 4 but with zombies.

thats not a while city... thats some stupid cameraman in a mall by himself

Dead Rising basically is that. Dead Rising 2 takes it even further and expands it to a whole city, where you get to ride a dirt bike around.

I believe the time limit is still there. No free roam.

does the game have the technology to do it?

There was still time to roam between missions.

That would be awesome. Add some rescue missions and supply runs and we're set. CleanPlayer

Unfortunately thats probably all the information there is.. they have a website for the game but its under construction so i dont think it would be 'fake' either.. could be wrong but doubtful :)

Zombies just aren't fun anymore.

This would be a really awesome game. Each building could have a either be vacant or have a random encounter with enemies organized by some Director system (like left 4 dead). You could also witness into random NPCs in the city having huge fire fights with a horde of zombies and join in to help them, then have them join a party with your friends so you just have nice group of people to fight with. Also you'd ocassionally see a pedestrian driving through this zombie invested city. They these things and so much more to constantly make the city feel alive with danger and randomness. In addition, they could put in a deep leveling system for things like your hand to hand combat against zombies, your speed, stamina, accucraccy with certain guns, hunger levels. Then the game could be seperated into different dedicated servers so you log in whenever you want.

I don't think that the consoles have the ability to run a massive game of this scale. If someone was to build a game like this, it would be the perfect game.

- random enemies of different zones in the city (sometimes overlapping)

- being able to ride cars/trucks/

- deep stats system (u have phsyical and skill based attributes and the game tracks your stats for the server)

- the director system of the game will send harder/more enemies to the people with higher stats if they are specific areas of the city

- fun gameplay and doesn't lag

- good visuals

- variety of weapons

- good sound effects/quality
