Actually looks pretty fun.
Kind of reminds me of Project Zomboid. But since it's a Facebook game, I can honestly say that, while it looks pretty cool, my expectations still aren't very high for it.
oh god, I came in here expecting the telltale game and was gonna be sad.
[QUOTE]AMC's hit TV series The Walking Dead is being turned into a Facebook title, [I]because a show that reflects man's inhumanity to man is the perfect subject for social games.[/I][/QUOTE] "y didn't u shoot the zombie u fukcign idiot i report u" "fuk u i was out of amo" GOTY 2012.
Rick's forehead isn't big enough -3/10 would not play.
Hope this doesn't turn into one of those stupid fucking games where they try to get you to buy to get more energy.

I expected an actual physical boardgame :v:
They still need to make a good open world 3D zombie [b]survival[/b] game. Seriously, I dont know why nobody has jumped on it yet...Its the kind of thing that everyone would buy.

Open world is easy enough, zombies are easy enough, but then comes the question of goals. You can make the goal just survival, but really, how popular would it be, then? And on top of that, in an engine like GTA4's, which already has most of the capability for a zombie survival game, you'd have to account for custom-barricades, man-made weapons, and who knows how many other things?

Seriously, I dont know why nobody has jumped on it yet...Its the kind of thing that everyone would buy.[/QUOTE] I actually wanted to start something like that in Unity 3D but I'm having trouble finding people who would want to work on it, specially because I'm more of a programmer and although I'm pretty good at 3d modeling, I know jack shit on animations (though I'm having a 3D animation class this semester so that is bound to change). It seems pretty easy at first but when you start thinking about the possibilities that people will expect from a game like this, it turns out it's a lot of work and something that will take a lot of dedicated time.
[quote=Walking Dead on Facebook][sp]Rick: we got 2 fite dese wokkers Dale: u guyz suck cuz we loosing are humannetee T-Dog: Shane: i protekt dis group not u wen i need a radiatur hose ill let u no Lori: im havin a babby Dale: (dies) Andrea: lol. . .noob[/sp][/quote] Yeah. . .this will suck horribly.

I'm surprised nobody has at least attempted it.
[QUOTE=Cushie;35077760]Yes, it would take effort, but every kind of game takes effort. I'm surprised nobody has at least attempted it.[/QUOTE] Effort as in, things a developer would have to put effort into that doesn't include buff guys with beards dual-wielding shotguns.
[QUOTE=Cushie;35077760]Yes, it would take effort, but every kind of game takes effort. I'm surprised nobody has at least attempted it.[/QUOTE] Actually many have attempted, it's just that they all failed. To make a proper zombie survival game that is actually good you need some budget. And overall it's quite a big project if you want to include all the features people want in a zombie survival game. Dead Island seemed promising, but NOO.
Nah, try The Last Stand: Dead Zone (Also on Facebook), it's better than these: no obvious need for real money (Unless you want to build everything instantly, or buy some rare OP weapons that has a chance of 0.001% to show up on the map,...), gritty style, 3D isometric, ... Currently playing it as we speak.

Oh NICE zombies that's never been done before

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;35098765]And they have to have The Trooper as the main song for it.[/QUOTE] no, eminem or dubstep It's a joke.

I forgot the name of the game though, it had a trailer, seems to be a game about going out, scraping things to survive and building a fortress to protect yourself from the zombies at night...
[QUOTE=Andokool12;35099811]no, eminem or dubstep[/QUOTE]I'd rather have my teeth pulled out and my skin shaved off.
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;35102284]I'd rather have my teeth pulled out and my skin shaved off.[/QUOTE] I feel like that's a tad unwarranted
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;35102284]I'd rather have my teeth pulled out and my skin shaved off.[/QUOTE] No you wouldn't.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;35102577]No you wouldn't.[/QUOTE]And you know this how?
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;35103049]And you know this how?[/QUOTE] Alright then, go pull out your teeth with some pliers and scrape some skin off with a potato peeler all because you absolutely will not listen to two genres. Point is, if you seriously hate a genre enough to put yourself through that kind of torture, you're an ignorant idiot.

Fortunately, I have the benefit of not listening to that worthless crap, so I have no need to actually go through with any of these measures.
