    Its basically just another fecking zombie game. Only this time the zombies have mushrooms on their heads.

    This genre has been done to death. Dead Island isnt even out a year and that was a huge disappointment. It will have to take a really good game for them to bring people back.

    The fact its Naughty Dog is a good sign though. PS3 exclusives are usually done very well. Given its superior hardware :p

    Its fairly obvious from the trailer what genre the game is pursuing.

    I could tell that it's not gonna be anything like Dead Island. Sounds more like Enslaved, with zombie-esque things...

    Could be good, could be bad. All I know is that I'm sick to death of zombie games just like I'm sick to death of done to death genres like tower defence, twin stick shooters and linear FPS games. It will take more than adding in a young girl to shoehorn in some supposed emotional depth to get me interested.

    But as Magill said, nearly every genre of game has been overdone at this point. The only thing we can hope for is that a dev takes a pre-existing genre and trys to come at it from a different angle. I'll give Naughty Dog the benefit of the doubt here and hope that they come up with something great.

    Dead Island was a great game just put aside the bugs... I don't care if it's like it though, but hope they go to 3rd person route ND animations are just too smexy for first person. :D

    It's not the genre it's the whole zombie theme. It's like the World War 2 setting at the start of the last decade. Who knows, maybe it will do what Call of Duty did back then and surprise me but at the moment I can't get excited about another zombie game.

    The last zombie game i played was L4D(1). So not really that bored of the theme at all.

    This doesn't look, gameplay wise, like it's going to be a L4D or Dead Island (haven't played the latter but from what I've seen).

    I mean, she's picking individual bullets out of your man's hand. A pretty big hint that this will be more about strategic survival than mowing down hordes of zombies.

    The vibe seems more 'The Road' than L4D.

    Then again, maybe they'll just happen to stumble upon a massive weapons cache mid-way through the game for a particular level ;)

    Anyway, it looks incredible. Reinforces to me that Sony doesn't need a new machine any time soon. This will probably be a more impressive game visually than most of the first games on new hardware next year, and on a cheaper box too.

    Good trailer. I still have hope for the survival horror genre. Naughty Dog are a decent developers so I'm sure it'll be a good game but whether it'll be a good survivial horror is another story. Surely a studio somewhere has been listening to the fans of the declining genre and will come up with the goods. Although it might be a case of be careful what you wish for!:pac:

    As I've said on the Resident Evil forum, gameplay mechanincs have to evolve but what needs to be retained is atmosphere and judging by the enviroments alone form the trailer it looks like it might've gotten that right.

    Uncharted set in a Dead Island/I Am Legend theme with emphasis on survival horror over action. I'll buy it. Fook it, i'll buy it anyway. Naughty Dog are fantastic developers.

    Hmm... pretty tech but we need another zombie game like we need - if you'll excuse the completely intentional pun - a hole in the head.

    That said, if they follow through with the suggestion that this will indeed be a game about survival rather than old-fashioned genocide, there's the potential it will be something different.

    And setting a game years after an outbreak is at least somewhat of a novelty. And it's Naughty Dog.

    But still - really wish this zombie phase would make like a brainless drone and receive a swift shotgun blast to the noggin.

    Somehow didn't notice this, but the first thing that he kills in the trailer is actually a human, not an infected. So we'll be fighting both the infected and other people. Nice one.

    To many zombie/horror survival games coming out these days. To many stolen ideas in that trailer. Looks like its even set in New York just like IamLegend. Plus it sounded like Nolan North is doing the VO for the guy in the trailer? Although there might be some interesting game mechanics between the two characters which would be nice.

    So far the only thing this game has going for it is the strength of the developers name

    Was that the trailer of the little girl falling outta the hotel room window in a real cinematic way? That promised so much...& what did we get? The gaming equivalent of the X Factor
