Horray for fans of The Walking Dead again as a new video game has been announced…
Not to be confused with TellTale’s episodic game the new creation is of an FPS nature and is loosely based around the TV storyline and not the comic book story created by Robert Kirkman.
The announcement came on 6th July 2012 and will star the Dixon brother, Daryl and Merely. The timeline of the game takes place before the beginning of the TV series and focuses on their journey to Atlanta.
Although no screenshots have been released or the deep gameplay ideas the premise itself is something to certainly grab my attention. Being a fan of the Left for Dead games this ‘quieter’ approach to the Zombie FPS is a welcome reminded that the undead world is creepy and horrific.
While sporting a first person view the game will be more of a horror style than something like Call of Duty and will require the player to make specific choices to survive. The player will need to collect resources and ammunition; both of which will be scarce and require deep management. The Dixon brothers look like an ideal choice for the characters as both are keen hunters letting them put down the ‘Walkers’ as they are called, or by using stealth to slip by undetected.
It has been mentioned that new characters will make an appearance along with way – either helping or hindering the brother’s progress. Decisions will need to be made quickly heightening the tension and the hordes are easily capable of disrupting or in some cases devouring their plan.
The whole set up seems to be following in the successful footsteps of Day Z and if the quality of that ‘add-on’ is anything to go by then this is certainly shaping up in the right way.
