I wish this was aliens or anything else, they didn't show off enough motorcycling because this kinda reminded me of motorcycle madness which is the best motorcycle game imho from like early 2000

I think this game has promise. I wish I saw a little more of the story. It looked great to me.

This presentation wasn't great, but it was a fantastic tech demo for large scale crowd flow simulation.

Looks cool. I liked State of Decay, but the game (and Breakdown DLC) tapers off before the climax into a repetitive, almost cartoony, cycle of events. Was hoping for something with the same dynamics as SoD, including base building and collecting survivors, but way edgier. But not as excessively tactical like DayZ.

The whole first minute, I had my fingers crossed, hoping the enemies wouldn't be zombies. Maybe we'd finally get a third-person action game where grey aliens are the threat. Imagine how creepy it would be walking through the forest and seeing UFOs silently gliding overhead. If not aliens, then maybe the enemies are shadowy Alan Wake style nightmare creatures? Ghosts? Human-Animal chimeras?? Werewolves???

Nah, there's still so much untapped potential in zombies. Let's continue exploring the concept of a 'zombie'.

Zombies. Great.

Also, those gun sound effects were terrible. Sounded like they came from some royalty free sfx site.

Just this trailer was messing with my anxiety, the full game would give me a nervous breakdown. I think it looks cool/good though, assuming they've still got some time in development.

This was my first thought as well. Like, anything but more damned zombies. Forests + Greys would be great. Or like, Mothman style stuff. Or something, anything other than dag nab zambies.

This presentation wasn't great, but it was a fantastic tech demo for large scale crowd flow simulation.

That was my second thought, after the disappointment about "more zombies, great".

This thing is so weird. The opening of this and the other trailer look like it's going for a quiet-ish sort of Last of Us vibe with scrappy people surviving the best they can in the apocalypse, fighting each other, etc. in what seems like an open world, which I could maybe get into.

Then it turns out he has eight hundred bullets between his weapons and machine-guns zombies for seven minutes straight. And they're still coming at the end of it!

The zombie crowd looks neat, but man the gameplay seems tedious as all hell.

Completely baffled by the decision to have another third person zombie game coming out of a Sony studio. The Last of Us is hailed by many as one of the great games of all time and it's almost guaranteed that a sequel will be Naughty Dog's next project.

I hope I'm wrong but I saw nothing today to make me think this could live up to that standard and it seemingly does absolutely nothing to make it stand out from a mechanics perspective.

@moregrammarplz: I was honestly hoping for the Jersey Devil or something to hop out instead. Anything but more damn zombies. We get it: Man's the real monster, blah blah.

Side Note: A game where you're lost in the woods, being hunted by werewolves, would be pretty sweet. Make it VR too, for that extra special "I think I peed myself" potential.

I'd have been fine with a good old fashioned post-apocalypse. Cannibals and warlords and the like.

Mutant / Zombies : Smart enough to go through open windows and scale walls, dumb enough to be stopped by anything you need to crouch under.

I was more interested in this by the other trailer that made it look like society had just collapsed.

This game looks absolutely horrendous and entirely devoid of creativity.

That looked really tedious. If you can't tell whether the enemies are are infinitely respawning, then you aren't better off than not using infinitely respawning enemies.
