Minor complaint but for someone that hasn't watched the second series that picture is a pretty big spoiler.

Which finished more than six months ago.

Everything is a spoiler for someone about something. Deal.

Not in my country.

Yeah, well, sorry, but STUFF continued to happen in season 2 of the show.

Well count how many hands Merle has. It's actually not a spoiler for anything in season 2, I promise.

Guess what Activision, you are making a Zombie FPS. Let me tell you how much this sucks ass.

It won't hold a candle to the adventure game. What's the point of another first-person zombie shooter?

Now this is a Walking Dead game I might actually play. What a pleasant surprise, Friday is turning out to be a good news day.

Here I am hoping that another Walking Dead property can handle Daryl and Merle as deftly as the show does, and make an experience focused on them interesting and introspective into societal paradigms in a post-apocalyptic world, but what the fuck. It's Activision. If the game's going to sell, it's not going to do any of that.

First Person Shzzzzzzzz zzzz ... no thanks, I'm good with the telltale adventure episodes.

Left 4 Dead doesn't exactly encapsulate the Walking Dead experience.

The Walking Dead does. The Telltale one. See? You already have what you're looking for.

I think I'll stick with the, in my mind already, vastly superior Telltale version. But thanks anyway.

Eehhh...I'll remain someone hopeful after reading the survival bit. But yeah...eehhhhhh.

I wont knock it til i see gameplay footage.

Activision obviously has no clue about what the comic or show is about. A FPS is the last thing this game should be. The zombies are the background to the story and not the stars. I has always been about the survivors who are the real walking dead.

If its more Day Z and less Dead Island I will pick it up.

my knowledge of the walking dead is from the game and a couple of mates that are obsessed with it but isnt the point of it that loud noises attract them (gun fire) so they use bats and axes and stuff

i heard there's a really great bit with a farm

Really? An FPS? That is not suited to this series. There was rarely shooting in the comics and even in the series there was very little. They're going to have to "action it up" to make it work and by "action it up" I mean "ruin the whole spirit of the story". I am dissapoint games industry.

I want to cry!!! oh well I can add Zombie Shooters to the list of stuff not to waste my money on.

I mean, this could be good right? Call of Duty has a zombie mode in World at War and Black Ops, so Activision should be backing a sure thing.....right? Wait, no....no this will probably be terrible.

Robert Kirkman is really milking this for all its worth, isn't he? Oh well, give us a Walking Dead musical while you're at it!

Maybe it's DayZ-like, with higher production values. Unlikely, but that would be cool.

This is exactly what I was thinking. The show (the only medium I've seen it on) was very adamant about being careful not to draw attention with sound, and if they don't completely screw it up, they could make something close to what I was thinking DayZ could be as well.

I'm still waiting for a L4D in a open world.

Daryl is the best thing about that stupid show.

Your opinion is shit.

Racists aren't that bad, really...

Did you get into a car crash last Friday or something? Brain damage is a very serious problem it seems.

Daryl's a great character. Looking forward to some gameplay of this. I found the last episode of Telltales game pretty predictable, so hopefully it don't burn me out on The Walking Dead before this comes out.

Time to dust off that design doc for a Wayne's World Sims expansion.

If I have the option to shoot Lori or Carl, I'm all for it. Otherwise, fuck this game. 
 
But I'll eventually try out the Telltale version with the pointing and clicking.

Totally down with this. Just hope it's good.

Something tells me that the game will play like COD and have a story like COD. I expect nothing from this game.

Nope. Not the way I want my Walking Dead. First person shooter-ing not play to the strengths of the series at all...

God damn it.

I've always loved the irony in someone hating someone else because of their hate, i.e. hating racists because they're racist, thus creating more hate.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a proponent of racism, I just enjoy studying human psychology. It's interesting at the very least.

This is idiotic.

Yup, racist people are outwardly hurtful to others based on fake constructs. I think it's fair game to dislike them for this.

So we're finally getting another Redneck Rampage sequel, this time with zombies. Sweet.

FPS? You never want to shoot your gun because it will attract more walkers. Who gave this the go ahead? Someone woefully out of touch with what this IP actually is?

they should get telltale to do it.

First person shooter based on the comics where they try to use guns as little as possible because they will attract zombies. Seems like a great idea.

I'm very happy that...

Well, that Terminal Reality is still in business. Still waiting for Bloodrayne 3! (no, Betrayal, while cool, doesn't count).

It won't hold a candle to the adventure game. What's the point of another first-person zombie shooter?

I hope it won't be a straight up FPS, but in the vein of Terminal Reality's Descent style 6DOF FPS games Terminal Velocity/Fury3/Hellbender. Imagine shooting zombies, in mine shafts, with a bow, from a hovercraft unaffected by gravity!

a FPS from activision!?!?!?! I am stunned and amazed.

You had me at hovercraft.

I agree with you. The whole survival concept in a first person shooter sounds pretty intriguing.

@Alex - Not to be a dick, but in this article "canon" should be "cannon"

=) Kind of cool news though. Kind of. If the storytelling quality is anywhere near that of the Telltale game, I'm interested.
