What do you think of this game idea?

An open-world zombie game that is based in a modern city (from downtown till the suburbs, like GTA). However, unlike any other game, this game should have a feature where each area is a different genre. For example, when your character is at the airport the game is a first person Survival Horror (zombies jump out from random areas like I AM LEGEND), and when you drive off to a mall the game gradually changes to a third person action (like Dead Rising); when you go to a military base it becomes a survival mode (like Call of Duty Zombies).

Each area has its own genre which slowly changes depending on where you are located (it should not change all of a sudden, that would be confusing), and this should be an open-world game set in New York City?

What do you reckon?

Each area changing game style is terrible. But I liked the initial concept, New York full of zombies.

You should check «The Last of Us» for the Playstation 3.

Horrible idea.

How about a true "survival" zombie game with unscripted A.I. You have to wonder the wasteland searching for things needed for survival. Food, medical supplies, weapons, random items to combine or use.

The zombies wouldnt be set in a certain place. They would could roam the land, they may stay in a area for a while, then move to another, making my time for searching a game of planning & patience.

You may find a medical van full of supplies you need ( could be enough to last you the entire game, there doesnt need to be balance here) with zombies overflowing the area, while someone else may find it deserted. Maybe i could get a bag, or shopping cart to fill items with, & then stash them in a safe place for the rest of the game.

Maybe that same area had a group of survivors steal those supplies ( again its all random ). This wouldnt be a mission, it would just be apart of the game random A.i. & unscripted events.

I kind of think a mix between fallout & Zombies ( no Dead island doesnt fufill any of that ). I think of The Walking Dead & going to look for supplies with unscripted Zombies & events, free roaming, & survival. The game itself isn't about combat, although combat mechanics would be there for you to use.

No Zombie game has given me that true unscripted, free roam, survival game. I would also compare it to the movie " The Road" ( features Viggo Mortensen )with zombies

Agreed. Good idea but keep gameplay the same.

New York full of Zombies with GTA gameplay, YES PLEASE
But changing the gameplay that much, unless you kept if all in first person or all in third person i don't really think it would work

I liked what you were talking about at first, but mixing the genres and perspectives as you play wouldn't be a good idea since not many people would enjoy all of them.

But an open world zombie apocalypse survival game that plays like The Walking Dead series would be awesome to me.
