The Walking Dead : FPS - Thread

Activision has revealed a new FPS game, based on The Walking Dead universe. As you may have guessed, this new ‘The Walking Dead’ game has nothing to do with Telltale’s titles. The Walking Dead FPS will be developed by Terminal Reality and players will control Daryl as they attempt to avoid detection from zombies that hunt using sight, sound and smell and will choose between fighting them or using stealth to avoid detection. The Walking Dead is planned for a 2013 release on X360, PS3 and PC, and you can find below its teaser trailer!

They'll probably overbake it and make it into another dead island type game that tries to be best at everything but just coming across as being totally average.

I like killing floor because its low rent and schlocky, it captures the fun of movies like evil dead superbly.

This will probably be gormless and too clever for its own good. Again I am speculating.

If this is a basic shooter I'll be all for it. More my game type than Telltale's take on it (not saying their one doesn't look good, just not my cup of tea).

Hopeefully Eames above me aint right...

will just be like call of duty in more ways than one and flop as far as the franchise goes. They're only doing it as there's a lot of buzz around telltale's game and dayz, imo ofcourse

Activision you say?

Shame I will not be playing it then. Cannot stand that company so will vote with my wallet.

Besides, have we all forgotten the mess Terminal Reality made of the Ghostbusters game although to be fair, Atari could have been attributed to that mess.

They are by no means a "AAA" developer. If this is better than crabs, I will eat my hat. It has "low rent" written all over it.

If Activision were "Serious" they would have gone for a higher budget with a much better developer.

We now have the official announcement for Terminal Reality's The Walking Dead game revealed last week, which refers to the project as a "do-whatever-you-need-to-survive first-person action game." The Walking Dead Begins website is now online, and brave, bold Sir Robin will be pleased to note the game will promote his favored "run away" technique:
Think you’re tough enough to survive a horde of undead walkers? Gamers will be able to find out next year as Activision Publishing Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), and Terminal Reality announced today an all-new The Walking Dead™ video game. Based on AMC’s Emmy-Award winning TV series, the do-whatever-you-need-to-survive first-person action game will allow players to assume the role of the mysterious, crossbow-wielding survivor Daryl Dixon, alongside his overbearing brother Merle, on a haunting, unforgiving quest to make their way to the supposed safety of Atlanta.

“The work AMC has done with the TV series has been amazing and we’re ecstatic at the opportunity to be brought into the fold,” said Drew Haworth, Creative Director at Terminal Reality. “The studio is made up of fans of the show, and we think other fans will see that the situations and walkers featured in our game are every bit as gruesome and shocking as they are in the TV series – they look, move and react as expected with full authenticity – and they will surprise you. The player’s fight-or-flight survival instinct is constantly engaged. ‘Flight’ is usually a good bet.”

did anyone play the activision goldeneye? it's CoD with jamesbond looks. I would Never buy an activision FPs again, they don't change anything with them from franchise to franchise.
they had a real chance with goldeneye to make a good quality remake but they ruined it.

Personally I prefer what Telltale has done with the Walking Dead to the idea of another FPS shooter. At least Telltales game is heavy on character and story development.
