TBH that wasn't much of a combat breakdown, as much as it was simply showing the improvements since the last time we saw that "horde mode."

So freakers are now set on fire by the molotovs and they also seem to have a wider wardrobe selection, and new movement animations. Deacon also has new gear since last we saw him fight the horde, and explosions blow him away, and it seems his running animation has been updated as well. Also the kill confirmed xp counter has been removed. Overall graphical improvements, e.g. explosions look much better with dust particles, etc. His bike also looks improved. I have to say though the melee combat still seems abit soft on the collision detection.

All in all there are good obvious improvements and I can't wait to see more. I think this game will surprise alot of people and will turn out to be a sleeper hit.

ClayRules20122672d ago

Yeah, I’m happy overall with the improvements that are here in this video. And man, this game is just so gorgeous to look at. I’ll provably die a ton of times admiring the visuals, only to get mauled by a bunch of Freakers moments later lol.

I can’t wait to get lost in this world.

Hardiman2673d ago

So cannot wait to dive into this beautiful yet terrifying world!

sammarshall1022673d ago

It's gonna be so nice to kill zombies in the gorgeous scenery of Oregon :)

Ceaser98573612672d ago

I am gonna die so many times in this situation lol! But there are so many ways to take the hordes down and that's gonna be fun .. Can't wait.

sammarshall1022671d ago

Lol Me too. It's insane to know we've only seen the baby horde and not the 500 freaker horde 😨

Ceaser98573612671d ago

Damn! 500 freakers gonna freak me out.. i will do my best to be stealthy but i doubt how much will i succeed.

Moonman2673d ago

They run pretty fast.....made my heart jump.....kill dem' fools...lol....lmao.

ArchangelMike2672d ago

Yeah I think they've increased their speed from last showings. The dev makes a point of saying that you can't out run them - which will really add to the tension, especially that you have a stamina bar that depletes anyway.

ClayRules20122672d ago

Yeah, that’s nice to have that in there. You really have to think things through. Add to that, your running from a horde of Freakers to get back to your bike, only to realize it won’t start because you forgot to refill it and now it’s empty. Your in trouble. It’ll be so much fun. Lol

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing15d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit15d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing15d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
