Take Zombie Management 101 With Amy

Looks like a bad Silent Hill-clone from the original Xbox era.

Quicklook then?

So... zombies. And an escort mission that lasts the whole game. And shitty stealth mechanics. And poor looking combat.

Whoopetty doopetty doo.

"It would be ridicules fighting a soldier with all his ammo" - ??

No one who worked on this video noticed that this line doesn't make any sense?

He has so much ammo, he doesn't need a gun.

This looks like shit.

Looks like Silent Hill 3, which should be coming out in HD soon enough. Eh, I'm a survival horror buff, I'll get both!

Can't stand soldiers, flaunting all their ammo like nobody's business.

But really, there's something a bit charming about a few frames of her animation here and there, but only very rare and few. Seems really stilted and awkward. Maybe I'm just jaded from the fluidity of Uncharted's characters walking about and interacting with their environment.

So another zombie(esk) game?!

But this time we have a game long escort mission too!?

And weapon durability?! Cuz' that's awesome!

With really shitty looking combat!?

No thank you.

Why are zombies always so hungry? Maybe if we stopped trying to kill them off and instead focused on the underlying problem of zombie poverty. Zombies can't afford brains these days so they go wandering in the streets begging anyone for help. The common misconception is that when a zombie is trying to "eat your brains", they are in reality just trying to communicate, pleading begging for a helping hand. BUT NO. We mean humans shun the zombies and show animosity toward them because we don't understand them. It is at this point the zombies become angry and take brains by force, or in most cases are simply using self defense.

So I ask you all... who are the real zombies? you monsters.

Who wrote this V.O.?

Looks like it could be one long escort mission.

So much less excited for this now...

The health of your stick...

I was interested in this game until I saw the horrendous combat animations. "Not being trained in combat" is fine, but animating poorly while doing it is not.

Hmm, this doesn't look very good at all. It kinda looks like it was made for the old Xbox, not the 360.

well if it makes you feel any better its made for neither. Its PSN only

Is this a PSP game?

360, PS3, PC.

actually its just PSN

This looks pretty rough, but I like the sound of a horror/stealth combo and at least it seems more pure in its horror than recent releases like Dead Space 2 and RE5, which leaned more towards action. But still, reallllly rough looking.

@MeldingPlague: Most likely one of the crew involved in development. Saves money and almost always yields a pretty terrible result.

My first instinct is to avoid this game. Flipping zombies, christ alive. After just watchin the I am Alive trailer I am heartened by the original ideas presented in that game.

"You can also use....

AMY'S POWERS!!!"

I lol'd at that part. Then I lol'd again when I read your comment.

I had such high hopes for this, a survival horror game that's based around some actual survival. But then the zombies and the demon-child and the results lols and /sigh

Quite funny. They were playing it up as this tense survival game and BAM!

Dude sounds like the dude from Fahrenheit (indigo Prophecy).

Oh good a Zombie escort game....

Is this a downloadable game like 'I Am Alive'?

I have seen it listed as a PSN and XBLA release on some sites. Not really sure.

Is this a wii game?

I really enjoyed Red Johnson, so I'll definitely give this game a chance.

Hmm, stealth + entire game escort mission + breakable weapons...that could go real bad real quick.

Zombies are not fooled by mimicry. And because it's a video game of course the little girl has super powers.

In the 2033, there will be escort missions. Also future space zombies. None of these things I like.

I still enjoy zombies, a lot of stuff to do with them.

The woman protagonist "im getting punched" animation, looks more like she goes "Yay violence.

Kinda reminds me of Deadly Premonition in both a good and bad way.

The awkward fighting reminded me somewhat of Silent Hill 2, but that's also the only semi-positive thing I can think of after seeing this. Also the part where Amy is stuck halfways up adult lady's butt was great after hiding under window.

Escort games can be good though, I mean just look at ICO and.. uh.. well.. ICO was pretty cool.

It's worth noting that this game is the creator of Flashback: The Quest for Identity's big return to videogames. Sure, it's been a while for him, but he brings some great vision to the table. If he's working witht he right people, this could really be a big sleeper hit.

(also that's probably the cause of any odd language you see, it's a French studio)

I've never heard of this game until now.

You're not all sick of zombies. You're all subject to group think because some people kept saying how they were tired of zombies on internet forums and you feel that's how you're supposed to feel. It's just that this game doesn't seem that good.

No. I am sick of zombie games. I've played a lot of them and I don't really want to keep on shooting more zombies. Or bashing their brains in, in this case. Watching this just gave me weird flashbacks to Deadly Premonition in terms of combat, and that is most certainly not a compliment.

Seriously though. I've played both Left 4 Dead games, both Dead Rising games, Dead Island, Undead Nightmare, a whoooole lot of Resident Evil throughout my life, I've watched plenty of zombie movies. It's not a matter of people telling me I should be sick of them. It's a matter of it being a fairly thoroughly mined topic that developers don't seem to be willing to do much with the material. I hope Amy proves me wrong, but honestly, from what I've seen?

That's not likely.

I love the utterly fucking calm, "Looks like I can't use that anymore" when her weapon breaks while fighting for her life against zombies. Nice directing job, VO guy.

A little of Column A, a little of Column B. A good Zombie game may make me enjoy shooting zombies again but for now I'm BLAH on Zombies.

Boring

Seemed cool, then they started fighting the zombies...

I wish I could do that.

Come on dude. Why would you make an exclusive PS3 Zombie/escort-little-girl title when Naughty Dog is bringing out Last of Us? Holy fuck these guys are stupid.

You mean the game they announced just a few days ago?

trailer says it's only on PSN but the wiki tells me different. noooooo

Guys, please. The correct term is "Undead-Cannibal-Americans."

Forced stealth sections and escorting? SIGN ME UP!

wow that looked really shitty.

There are so many things in this video that make me sad.

1. WTF?! is this dead space? Or are we all going to have health monitors on our backs in the future?

2. Really, are they serious? Frame rate issues coupled with stiff animations and low impact combat? Why even show video of that?

3. Okay, so the little girl hasn't been trained to fight, but she has superpowers? Oh, and she wants to hide first, destroy your soul second?!

What I took away from this video is even if women get superpowers they are still scared, weak, little hopeless beings.

"OH BOY! CAN'T USE THAT ANYMORE, THOUGHT I'D LET YOU KNO... OH GOD ZOMBIES!"

The combat doesnt look very fun at all.

Also, I think I'm tired of zombies.
