Wut they b smokin Some models have been re-used but the majority is being created from scratch. They say it will use new animations as well so it won't be like playing War inc.

when theres official gameplay we will see

See they both pose a threat. The sprinting zombies are fast. The shambling ones will f*ck you up with their numbers. They are only effective in high numbers and if this game does not throw a lot of them at you at once it could be really boring. The deciding factor here will have to be the actual surviving. Youll need to eat, drink water, and all that good stuff. If not, then itll be just another zombie shooter.

The slow ones are fun to kill (In their mass numbers), the fast ones are a pain in the arse.

And we are talking about a video game here, where fun is the thing we're going for.

[Cosmic Gypsy]

Yeah well, i don't find slow mindless zombies fun at all, i find them pointlessly boring, being able to simply walk away from a shambling mess doesn't appeal to me, even in large numbers, these zombies are simply pathetic. I prefer fast zombies, as slow zombies don't give me the sense of danger, panic i want in a zombie game. But i have been doing some reading on the official site / forum and turns out zombies move "slightly slower than player" and if you have enough patience and stamina you'll "be able to out run them eventually" which i can live with. They also said they had different speeds, zombies who crawl, zombies who walk and zombies who try to sprint but fail. (i presume these are the zombies slightly slower than player)

But yeah, game sounds sick.

[OchyGTA]

The alpha footage is pretty impressive and I look forward to seeing more when the beta drops in Autumn. I like the slow zombies to be honest as I feel it gives the game more of an atmosphere. Slow zombies cab sneak up on you so you will be constantly paranoid. Two issue I do have though, the zombies don't seem to react to light or sound that well. Despite that though, I am excited for this game.

[illegal_luggage]

Some more gameplay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgLm7LEU51Y
I really hope they improve the firing.

[ryuclan]

See i would love slow zombies if they were like the ones in the walking dead comics. While you're walking you're passing them without even knowing, but they follow you. Imagine stopping for supplies when you see a horde of zombies approaching that have been following without your knowing.

[Method]

The game actually is going to turn out better graphically then I imagined, I guess.

I really hope they improve that crouching animation, looks like that dude has one massive f*cking wedgie.

That's what I like about those kinda zombies too. Less "all up in my grill" running zombies, more "stalk a motherf*cker" slow zombies. Provides a much more creepy environment and makes them appear less human.

Yeah but what do you need to achieve fun, maybe some challenge? If this game is based around survival you probably wouldn't want to waste all your ammo on a crowd of zomberds.

I would want slow zombies, just hope they don't use it like you said, where all you do is stand somewhere and shoot them.

[GTAction99]

I have a "Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family" graphics card and 2GB Ram, will I be able to play this game?

If I have to update any of these two, please let me know. (I have a pretty good amount saved up for upgrades..)

[oysterbarron]

I think there is a demo version that allows you to play for 5 ingame days, Might be an idea to download that and see for yourself.

whoops wrong topic and wrong game pmsl!

[GTAction99]

The game is installing the latest build as I speak.

I will update this post if it works.

[illegal_luggage]

A new video:

A few issues but then again it's still WIP.

[illegal_luggage]

Bump
Another video

Still needs some TLC and the gun moving while running animation needs to be edited. Other than that looks pretty fun although it would be cool if they improved the texture quality and brang in DX11.

Some information on the upgrading of sounds and other parts of the game:

Err..

It needs work. A lot of work. A) there were so many bugs in the first 1-2 minutes that I lost track of them all b) the textures are very lackluster, and c) audio is very shoddy, or is completely missing altogether.

I don't think it's such a good idea for them to release so many videos when it's in such an unfinished and unpolished state.

Oh, I definitely agree that it's not polished at all! Honestly though, when I see this game I'm just comparing it against the Day Z mod. The concept alone is enough to justify my excitement, so I tend to see past the few audible and graphical bugs present in the current War Z alpha version.

If all they've got to fix is some audio and strange animations/graphics, then I'd say they're doing pretty well. They've nailed the concept, and that's all I really care about for the moment.

[Pat]

I don't understand. I thought the whole thing about this was that a studio looked at DayZ and said "let's release a more polished version of this" (and don't feed me that bullsh*t about "well we were working on it before DayZ!" because it doesn't take very much research to realize that's 100% false), but when I look at these alpha stage videos, all I'm seeing is a game that's less polished than DayZ is. And that's quite a f*cking accomplishment, because DayZ is a seriously flawed mod in various areas.

I'm sorry, but this looks absolutely terrible. I haven't even gotten into the elements like the unnecessary tactical bullsh*t, or the elements that are directly copied from other games (the weapon customization screen is a carbon copy of Crysis, it is not even slightly different).
