Why Zombie Games Refuse To Die

1. AI easy to code

2. Politically correct

errr, because they are zombie?

My opinion on title? 3 reasons.
First, because the AI is so easy to program since they are supposed to be stupid.
Second, it makes designing a plot or story easy, because zombies.
Third, the genre is good and overly saturated with both good and bad franchises, so it refuses to die out because people keep clinging to it as an easy fix or a fast, guilty pleasure, both for writers, producers, consumers, etc.

Its not gonna die, its simply not gonna die. At least not until something bigger comes along.

As much as zombie movies are a means to make commentary on consumerism, zombie games are a commentary on their consumers.

For me personally it's not that I love zombie games, I love post-apocalypse games such as Fallout, The Last of Us and others because I want a game about surviving a harsh future. Zombie games are part of this genre, and until they made a big scale open world post-apocalypse game with mechanics similar to the Witcher 3 then zombie games will have to do for now.

Zombies, aliens, robots- these will always be popular in games. They make for easy horde enemy types.

to say it was already dead to begin with

I'll tell you WHY they refuse to die. Because they make MONEY ! People still love zombie games and that means thtey buy them and anything thta makes money will keep being produced.

AMC has proven that you can succeed with the worst writing in the history of existence as long as zombies are involved. Seriously, Rick can say, "Herp derp hurr durr durrrr" and loyal idiots like me will still tune in.

I just don’t understand why everybody decided they liked zombies one day. I’ve always enjoyed zombie movies, but they were never big business. Then The Walking Dead comes out and everyone is all about zombies all of a sudden. It’s a terrible show. The zombie modes in Call of Duty games are pure crap, too. People did the same thing with bacon. Bacon has always been delicious. Then about 5 years ago, bacon started popping up everywhere like people where just finding out about it for the first time. I know that wasn’t necessarily game related, but it felt good to get off my chest.

Zombie games, zombie movies, zombie books... been into them for many years and I still love them all, as long as they're done well.

Good job on the video BTW.

Cuz they reanimate simple as that.

XD

Only recently finished Zombie Trilogy, pretty dam fun game.

End boss was ridiculous.
