James Martin previews Overkill's The Walking Dead, writing: "Overkill tells us however that their first-person shooter rendition of the The Walking Dead is based on Robert Kirkman’s comic universe, rather than the TV show that has slightly strayed off from the graphic script. Truth be told, if the game wasn’t bearing this title, you would never know it was based off the same story – aside from the “Walker” name being assigned to the zombies."
Let's count down games that were so bad that they just had to be recalled, delisted, and left alone as a tale for the history books.
Overkill’s The Walking Dead is pretty much dead, in spite of Starbreeze’s intentions to try and make it work with Skybound. And in spite of the unfinished feel of the overall game, there are some things that need to be recognized.
If I knew Steven Spielberg was going to be in it, I would have been more excited to try it out!
Today Skybound Entertainment released the following statement: As of today, we have terminated our contract with Starbreeze Studios and will discontinue all efforts on OVERKILL’S THE WALKING DEAD.
No, that's because it's dead now.
This game only lives up to half its namesake "The dead".
One of the biggest let downs. I saw the trailer and got hyped. I saw the game-play and well it sucked.
Not surprised, the game was destined to fail the moment we saw the reveal gameplay. It was so disappointing after those amazing CG cut-scenes they made, and its clear that's where majority of the budget went to. What a shame how this game turned out as it had alot of potential.
another live service piece of sh.* - I bet the story will be shallow but the MTs will be deep. 505 studios is a turd.
