In fairness though, Neil Druckmann is writing the script. So the film should be good at least.

It's if they try to turn it into a franchise... that'll be the danger....

That's the easiest job in the world. He's already written it. :pac:

Gary the Goat to play Ellie

However, just read something very worrying in that article.

I can see Brolin in the rule, hes got the right looks to fit Joels character, hes a big and physical too.

Jon Hamm would be an excellent choice too actually.

With Jaden Smith as Sam

Josh Brolin, Jon Hamm or Hugh Jackman would be my picks. For Ellie, I'd rather they go with an unknown actress. Can't see Maisie Williams in the role at all having replayed the game.

Josh Brolin would be good alright.
Mark Wahlberg is tipped to play Nathan Drake.

Screen Gems, who brought Resident Evil to the big screen, and Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures company will produce the film with the game's writer Neil Druckmann also penning the screenplay.

I have a book The Passage (next on my list after TWD) about virus that brings an apocalypse with one girl who
is the antidote.
. Hope it's good, will be nice to compare to the Last of Us but I'm just itching for TLOU film to be released because I know the story will be excellent

Bricks can be used on clickers? This is a game changer :eek:

Wait, you can use a brick to beat clickers? Like, as a melee weapon? Is this a true fact?

Program starting in September called Z Nation on SyFy about a Zombie apocalypse where 1 guy is in charge of getting another guy across country as he is the
only person who has been bitten and survived & and is key to a cure

Yeh I notice that you get virtually no ammo drops from stealth kills. It's kind of a conundrum that you have to use ammo for the chance of getting some more, I think arrows are your best bet for that, like a 50% chance you can recover the arrow with what ever chance there is that the deceased will drop some ammo for something else without totally blowing your cover.

Ya, an arrow strike from cover is nearly a 100% kill rate, aiming from the head when possible usually saves the arrow too if you can follow it up and get it back.

Could be interesting, I watch the Walking Dead every week but a bit of competition might improve the show if Z Nation is well written and made show.

wouldnt get my hopes up though.

Ya I often use different tactics to save ammo. You can't use a brick on them if they are coming straight for you but running around until the clicker grabs your companion (cruel I know but we are all survivors here!) and then smash its head open with a brick. Or just shoot it once with a pistol and when it recoils a quick switch to a brick and lunge at it and open its skull. Or stun it with a bottle or brick and follow up with an extra one lying around. I've never tried bottling them though, don't know if it works.

I try and mix up the stealth with melee and gunplay. The game will give you ammo if you use it via pickups from dead enemies. I'm playing on Grounded mode and still finding ammo, although limited.

This is the reason why the brick always beats the bottle.. I've been using that tactic for a while now.

Aw hell ya! Sneak up on a clicker (sometimes works from the front as well but can be dodgy), brick in hand, hammer square for the 3 hit combo. The 3rd hit will break the brick and the clickers head, job done. It's loud though so wouldn't recommend with other clickers nearby.

If they are far enough away you can sneak off (half creep) and they will generally just swing at open air were you where, pick up another brick and off you go!

Wish I known that shiv thing before, I used every supply I've found so far on grounded to make shivs for the doors and near the end of the game I've only managed to unlock like 4 of them
