Activision Reveals Walking Dead First-Person Shooter

By Jesszman - 07-06-2012, 11:03 AM - Boxden > BX GameSpot

Activision has announced a new game based on The Walking Dead. Not to be confused with Telltale’s episodic The Walking Dead adventure game, Activision’s version is a first-person action game based on AMC’s The Walking Dead TV show.

Developed by Terminal Reality, The Walking Dead 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. According to Activision, “No place is truly safe for Daryl as he makes his way through the Georgia countryside in this new, post-apocalyptic world.”

Supplies will be scarce and players will need to carefully manage food, ammunition and supplies as they make their way through the game. Daryl will encounter “a slew of other characters” along the way that can help or hurt him. Whether or not these characters accompany Daryl is completely up to the player and “represents just some of the major decisions that will constantly be made while fighting to survive.”

The Walking Dead will hit stores in 2013 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Few other details are available, but check out the game’s official site for more info in the future. Until then, keep an eye out for all the latest announcements about The Walking Dead TV show before it returns to AMC for season three later this year.

All other zombie game look like complete !! compared to DAYZ and Project Zomboid

The Walking Dead Episodes are not to bad, the story is great, characters well done and atmosphere is good, but the gameplay kinda sucks.

Dayz though is !!ing so amazing, been playing that !! since the day it came out, but the last 2 weeks I have been playing SOOOOO damn much.

DayZ is free but you have to buy Arma2:OA in order to play it. Hopefully Steam has a crazy summer sale for Arma2.
