    I don't really have any reason to trust that it will be a quality game. A cool trailer? Eh. I'll wait until I hear the verdict.

    Doesn't look like my kind of game, but I'm waiting for reviews by both professionals and forum users.

    I really want to see the quicklook and/or the review before I purchase it, mostly because of how Call of Juarez: The Cartel turned out. The premise does sound cool, though. Too bad it won't live up to the trailer.

    It looks like a Zombie game that I might actually enjoy. The Dead Rising games were pieces of shit. So maybe.

    I'm definitely gonna be waiting for reviews before I even think about picking this up. There are already too many games coming out between now and the end of the year that I know will be good to waste time and money on something that I'm not sure about.

    'It's like Fallout with Zombies!' I'm sort of bored of both of those things.  It also kind of seems like Fallout without writing or character - which sounds even worse.  It will be cool if I'm wrong, but it's definitely not a day 1 thing for me.

    Hell yes, played a little over an hour worth at pax and absolutely loved it, don't be fooled, it's not L4D, it's nothing like L4D other than it's a zombie FPS game with coop.

    It has great depth with crafting/abilities, the sandbox environment is great, combat is great, story is interesting etc, it's sad some people are brushing it off simply because they think it's a L4D clone, like that would be a BAD thing, gamers today are far too jaded for me it's why i try to stay off forums, picking this up on PS3 tuesday along with the warhammer game.

    I thought the same thing until i played it, the videos don't do the game justice you have to play it, it's TL's "arkham asylum", this game is defiantly going to give them good buzz unless the reviewer just hates fun and zombies.

    Also as for people sick of FPS games i guess BF3 and Skyrim are off the table right?

    Holding off to see what the general opinion is, I can't really afford it until it goes cheap with all of the other games coming out over the next few months.

    With those that doesn't think the game looks good - the combat just looked bad, the graphics and designs look average, and the developer has a poor track record, so I will wait for QLs and maybe reviews. Not optimistic about it though.

    Still waiting to see reviews personally. Looks pretty good, but I'd rather not end up having another Dante's Inferno experience. I still feel bad for buying that.

    Want to see reviews but this game has been on my radar for awhile now. I'll probably pick it up day 1 or at the latest before friday if the reviews are favorable.

    Curious about how well the rpg elements work in the game, and how it reviews, but it'll have to wait a while as Space Marine will be my focus Tuesday.

    I'm satisfied with L4D2 when I feel like killing zombies.
    If it turns out to be really great though, i'll maybe buy it on sale sometime.

    Sounds pretty interesting I hope its good. From what I've seen of the gameplay videos. It kinda makes me think of Farcry 2 with zombies.

    Yeah I'm going to see some reviews first, I will probably rent it though. Doesn't look good enough to justify a purchase at this price.
