    Buncha new screens just got posted up on RPS. Looky.

    There seems to be a somewhat heavy emphasis of gun combat, which is surprising considering the initial pitch was a focus on improvised weapons that you would find lying around a holiday resort. Still, these screens looks incredible, and there seems to be a really nice mix of colourful enemies, including one psychopath-type-individual. A nod to Dead Rising, perhaps?

    I'm pretty excited about a free-roaming Zombie game, especially from a First Person perspective. It looks like it might be a cross between Dead Rising 2 and Left 4 Dead, which I'm totally OK with. Both of those games were fucking awesome. It's nice to see that this game is still in development as well, as it was pretty quiet up until the last trailer. Here it is, in case you forgot:

    Joystiq posted a pretty great preview too. I was worried it was going to turn in to a bad Left 4 Dead game, but it's sounding pretty good.

    That does look pretty good, sill annoyed that the actual game will be nothing like the first trailer.

    Techland has always been super capable of making gorgeous looking games that are fun to play in spite of their weird flaws, but man, there was something super special about that reveal trailer.  For the game to just have nothing to do with it just bums me out to the max. :(

    Straight-jacket dude in the last screen looks wicked. Definitely don't want to be running into that while I'm romping around.

    this game actually looks like a decent game, despite the earlier "looks like L4D again" sentiment.

    I still love zombies, so I've always been okay with how this game was looking.  The look of the gun in the first screen has me worried, though.

    Looks good if a bit odd with some of the last screens.
