The Zombie Infiltration

Joseph of GAMElitist.com - "I believe the ultimate reason why so many games now have zombies in them, is because the word “zombie” has become synonymous with the word 'fun'."

I think Zombies have a really high appeal for people who like the whole post apocalyptic movie/games ect.

Like watching a movie about the end of society and the battles after it is good..... but if you throw zombies in there it becomes a whole different thing... the trouble is most movies/games get it wrong... the original Dawn of the Dead came the closest to getting it right!

Zombies have become the short-cut way for Devs who do not wanna create a good set of A.I. instructions for NPC's.

Sure Zombie DLC is fun but it's getting old. Now I do like killing Zombies but only the ones in STALKER cause at least those Zombies have a gun and are more of a challenge.

plmkoh5369d ago

Zombies represent the ultimate cannon fodder for a video game. Why bother with trying to justify shooting a Nazi/Russian/Alien/Terrorist/G ov conspirators/robots etc when you can simply put in faceless zombies that require no story. Not to mention zombies allow you to add great variety in weapons in both gun or melee categories.

Yeah, zombies are definitely the "cool" thing this generation.

Legion5369d ago

I think a big reason for Zombies being so popular is the fact that the A.I. fits in with all the bad A.I. that we complain about in other games, such as enemies running directly at you not bothering to take cover.

We get the fun of killing enemies and not complaining when the enemies are dumbed down. Because for the most part Zombies are dumb mindless A.I. characters.

Which funny enough adds to the realism of the character models. (yes, knowing full well that Zombies don't actually exist.) It is so hard to mess up a Zombie enemy.

Legion5369d ago

"Black Ops zombies mode works well because it revolves around zombies. They add to the overall experience. When zombies are just there because people like zombies, there is no point." Really... In Black Ops Zombies had a point for being in the game?

And then the next statement directly after that complains "When zombies are coming to break down the door into your game, developers, just barricade them outside." Isn't that directly what happens in Black Ops, and yet it works for Black Ops and not other games? Why again??

New 'classic style' Star Fox game to launch this summer claim multiple sources

Nintendo is planning to revive Star Fox with a new game this summer according to an insider, alongside Pikmin 4: Switch 2 Edition and Splatoon Raiders.

MayorPauline57d ago

Nate the Hate dropping bombs. He shot his recent video this past Wednesday and Nintendo teases Star Fox in Galaxy soon after. At this point hes the source of the leaks. He's an Nintendo employee working psy ops for them. 😆

The last good Star Fox was the one on gamecube

Redgrave55d ago

There were two, of which I assume yoi refer to Assault and not Adventures.

DarXyde55d ago

I liked both of them. Starfox Adventures was a fun game, just not a particularly good Starfox game. On its own, if it stayed Dinosaur Planet, I think it would be much better received. Assault was awesome. Loved multiplayer on that game.

Starfox Adventures had a really special OST in some spots, too. Thorntail Hollow was such a phenomenal score. It was like this beautiful mix of African and Celtic sounds. Like Zulu vocals over something Enya was working on.

MrCrimson55d ago

I must've missed a good star fox game on the gamecube - the last good one I remember is Star Fox 64- which - imo holds up well to this day..

darthv7255d ago

I honestly did not mind Zero... it deserves a second chance on the NS like many other Wii-U titles received.

All I ask for is plenty of content/stages and a good challenge, if it's a cakewalk I would be disappointed.

repsahj56d ago

I really want a sequel to Star Fox Adventures, but a classic-style Star Fox is also welcome.

Elda55d ago

Hopefully it's a classic Star Fox like the original but of course with better graphics & a bigger game.
