Activision Turning The Walking Dead Into a First-Person Shooter
An anonymous reader writes "Activision, along with developer Terminal Reality, is turning The Walking Dead into a first-person shooter. For those of you who aren't familiar, The Walking Dead is a story about a group of people who are trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. It began as a comic book series, and was adapted into a successful television show by AMC. Now, apparently Activision feels the world needs another zombie shooter, and thinks The Walking Dead is the perfect backdrop. The game will 'revolve around Daryl Dixon and his brother Merle on a "haunting, unforgiving quest to make their way to the supposed safety of Atlanta." 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.' A video game adaptation of the story already exists as an episodic adventure game."
Youll be looking for a lost little girl for the first half of the game ...and stuck in one location for the second half.
at least theyll only need 2 maps and it will load quickly...
And then a comic book spin-off
Joy. I can see the high-range of options available:
Mission 1: Get Carl in the House
Mission 2: Get Carl into the next House
Mission 3: Get Carl into another House
It claims "The Walking Dead is a story" which is just not true.
Call me back when they turn it into a musical.
You haven't played Lollipop Chainsaw yet, have you?
