Might as well have had one of the zombies do the Dreamworks smirk at the end. Of course, the game itself can still be good.

That article was pretty stupid. Comparing it to all these games like no other game copies elements from other games. "Hey you kill zombies in this game, lets compare it to other games that has zombies in it and call it unoriginal. Oh and this game has guns so obviously it's copied Halo and whatnot."

This article was full of fail. Did the writer try to take specified elements from the game and then show us that its in some other game and then not original?

"You can go anywhere you can see (Assassin's Creed) on the island of Banoi". LOL, so if you can go anywhere you can see it's automatically ripped of from Assassin's Creed?

"You might find a gun with one clip of ammo (Mirror's Edge) later on" Oh come on..

I feel that this is going be good. First of all it's a Zombie game and I'm a Zombie fanatic. Secondly it's open world and it has rpg elements.

I think that almost everything we see in games today are something that you can find on some other game as well. The "catch" is that who delivers it better.

Damn what a shame :\
But I kinda have a bone to pick with critics with this stand point.

How dare they not have any original ideas I mean you use weapons (Halo, and Call of Duty) to kill enemies (Uncharted) and level up your skills (Fable). The game is projected onto your TV (Killzone), and is controlled with a controller (Pong).
I think its also funny that the author writes at the end that the game uses "exploding propane tanks/barrels and collectables (all games)"

LOL I mean come on of course games share common elements but lets not think that the developers are sitting there scrapbooking a game together :P
Cause otherwise this article is equal to me writing a news report about how air is still breathable. Its pointless

still sounds fun to me... lol

LOL i saw this coming from a mile away. Game was never going to be good. Ever notice multiplat devs always debut games in CGI trailers while Sony devs use real-time gameplay?

To me it shows who is most confident in their work.

Of course you don't play "the trailer".

Article fail.

As I expected, this seems like another lame zombie game and not a truly emotional one. 'sigh' zombies get out of my games now please you have been overused.

Trailers always look better than what it actually is, that's how they get customers to run to the store.

Zombies+RPG=Orignal freaking enough. This guys just trying to sound like he knows something. If he knew anyhting about gaming (i.e. the way almost no game is ever original, but takes traditional mecahnics/ideas and makes them into something great)...this article wouldn't exist.

Now i'm am even more excited for this game. Take open world, add rpg, then add zombis, and mix. Then add melee combat for upclose and personal kills!! This game sounds like it will be the best game ever!!! EVER!!!!

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
