Just in case you hadn’t yet picked up on the heavy – and welcome – inspiration The Road has had on upcoming Xbox Live Arcade title Deadlight, check out this new trailer.
So, yeah, it’s the dead world/broken society of Cormac McCarthy’s post-apocalyptic tale with zombies thrown in. Which is as good an elevator pitch as any video game publisher is likely to hear.
“Summer 2012”. But it’s Summer now (read: our winter, their summer). Where’s my Deadlight, dammit? It looks great.
My, what an imaginative soundtrack. I’ve never, ever heard anything like it.
BRAAAAAAARP!
BRAAAAAAARP!
Looks great…I’ll pick it up. Wish it would come to PC though, I just want to play everything on my PC nowadays. On topic though, I agree that it has no resemblance to ‘The Road’ – both movie and book (of which I loved). I wish someone would make a game with that deep story, father and son struggle…I cried. I was hoping the ‘last of us’ would be like that, but I don’t think it will. Maybe it’s better left as a movie experience anyway.
Am I the only one who saw this, tuned out when they saw zombies, and then got swept away with the idea of someone else remaking Flashback with this game engine?
Yet another zombie game I won’t play. Absolutely no one knows how to make a good zombie game.
DayZ sucks when it comes to the actual zombie part.
Jeeze. Can we stop with the zombies already!? Wikipeadia lists one zombie themed video game release in 2004 “Survival Crisis Z” for Windows. In 2005 there were eight released; 2006 only two titles; 2007 there were three; then eight in 08; in 2009 the infection went airborne producing 12 titles; a bit of a fight back in 2010 with only six releases; a horde of 11 in 2011 and finally this year we’ve seen two with the possibility of another eight on the way. Pahhh! Stop the madness!
