Has anyone heard of this game? I know from watching this trailer alone that this will be a day 1 buy. If the game itself can keep this tone and mood, I will nominate it for one of the best games for the 360. I have never seen a trailer quite this moving/emotional/awesome.

Thoughts?

Wow.... that trailer had so much emotion in it, even made me shiver. Probably the best trailer I have ever seen. I'm definietly getting this, I do like my zombies

Edit: Watched it again, I'm literally on the brink of crying

I doubt the game will have that kind of feel to the narrative throughout it, but I am interested in the game.

First Person "Shooter" with aspects of Fallout, Dead Rising, and Left 4 Dead, with drop in 4 player Co-Op. That makes me interested in this game.

Looks like my type of game! Can't wait!

Damn, that was depressing.

Looks to be a really good game if they can pull it off right.

I doubt the trailer is anything like the actual gameplay, but I'm still pumped.

Well it's just a teaser, so aside from him wielding the fire axe, it is of course not gonna have much in relation to the gameplay being a melee based FPS lol

I literally exclaimed, "Holy shit!" at the top of my lungs... before getting choked up.

Sounds pretty cool.

A buddy of mine and I were talking about a GTA with zombies. This sounds like it's moving in that direction, but not quite what I have in mind. I know there's that Undead Nightmare for Red Dead Redemption, but I wanna kill zambies in Liberty City/Vice City/Los Santos/whatever (but more importantly: in a modern setting with modern weapons and vehicles).

I'll have to check this out, because it sounds good, but what I was talking about in the paragraph above would be the zenith of this whole zombies trend, in my eyes.

Twang: Crackdown 2 sounds like a game you might enjoy then. The zombies are pretty shitty compared to real zombie games, but it's an open world game with modern weapons, and at night time, the 'freaks' come out which are basically just hordes of mindless zombies. Be warned though, there's little to no story, and it's entirely up to the player to come up with cool stuff to do within the open world.

Crackdown 2 gets boring pretty quick if you don't have any friends to screw around with. Be forewarned lol

Nice trailer, but it tells me nothing about how the game will play. This is the reason why trailers bother me. No trailer like this could ever convince me to buy a game.

This looks like my kind of thing. I'll definitely at least rent this.

My only worry is what elements it will focus on more than others. It sounds good on paper, but I feel like they could also easily screw it up.

This is the recipe for something I would LOVE... but then again:

I love L4D
I hate Dead Rising
I love Fallout
I hate GTA (for the most part)

Hmm... this could very easily go either direction for me. :x

Edit: Oh this really reminds me of the zombie DLC that's in Borderlands, from how they described the 4 character "classes" and all. Interesting.
