    @Stubee: Not really. Trust me when I say that in context of the series, it's actually nowhere near as big of a deal as you might think.

    I already have The Walking Dead game that I want. Depending on how bad Activision effs this up it might even sabotage Telltale's.

    Daryl Dixon is the best thing about the show.

    So, you know.

    There's that.

    Closes Prototype developer.

    Announces Walking Dead FPS.

    I anticipate some more studio closures from Activison in the near future.

    Take a look at the trailer/teaser that's up on the official site for the game. Yeah.

    And from the makers of fine games such as Kinect Star Wars.

    OK, stay with me here guys, but what if... we made it into some kind of first-person shooter? Crazy right? But I can just see the headlines now: "Activision Publishes First-Person Shooter"!

    It'll be revolutionary, you'll see!

    I really do love TWD, even the show, but I'm not sure about this. What makes the Telltale game so good is that its centered around the characters and their interactions between each other. I'm afraid that this will just be a bad Left 4 Dead with Michael Rooker.

    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.

    No thanks, anything but a first person shooter. Also, aren't these bullet points the same as The Last of Us -- choosing when to fight, zombie-esque things around, management of material?

    JUST IN!!

    New Activision game where you play a physicist going to work in a secret government base. You test out some secret element and everything goes wrong. You must then escape the White Mesa facility before the aliens kill you, or the mercenaries exterminate the whole base. Look forward to "No Life!" a new game from Activision.

    A Walking Dead game based on my favorite character from the show? I'm in. Although it's strange, because Daryl isn't in the comic, so at this point this game is barely able to use the Walking Dead name, but whatever, I'm interested!

    Don't want. I'm already sick of first person shooters, the last thing I want is a zombie fps. Also it's Activision, so even if I was interested there's a good chance the game will be shit.
