I hope there will be a demo for it. DR1 was terrible. Played it for 2h then i had to return it to gamestop before becoming braindead myself. Terrible, terrible game. I never understood what the hype was all about.

I loved it. It had flaws, serious flaws, but it's one of the rare games this gen that tried something new interms of gameplay. If the second is anything like the first, but with a proper save and checkpoint system, then bring it on. :D

from the few people who have posted in this thread i think that there missing the point of the game, the game isnt a super deep super complex story, its not a awe inspiringly good graphics type game, its a game where you screw around in, find fun ways to do insane stuff and just sit back, and kill zombies, think of it sort of like a sandbox zombie game, which is basically what it is :P, there few and far between so people shouldnt hate on them or else the genre will just dissapear, which wouldnt be good

I thought the graphics were amazing, if you keep in mind the amount of enemies on screen. No game has come close imo.

I like the older slow zombies.

While RE4 was good it paved a way for less survival horror and more action.

Maybe no game has come close on consoles but PC has more enemies on screen in some games like the 1000+ unscripted ones in Arma 2.

There's a lot more to it than just killing zombies. You have a vast mall of weapons to kill them with in various ways. You can construct your own weapons, fight psychopaths, unravel the story behind the outbreak, rescue survivors etc.

I'd say it looks pretty good. Already preordered the CE.

I mean for consoles. :P One of the rare games to use the 360s CPU to it's fullest if I'm not mistaken.

I have also only heard pretty bad things about the game, but I'm still going to be optimistic for now. I'd like the game to not suck.

You obviously never played the first one then. I think its too early to pass judgement on the game yet, nothing has been seen about it except for a few demos. People need to remember that the gameplay and such is from an early demo. The graphics should be better. As for it lookin too easy they made it that way so that they could show off some of the new weapons and such. Its supposed to have something like 6000 zombies on screen at a time, none of the demos have shown that number yet (What has been shown is less than DR1). Im a huge fan of the original, its one of my favourite games this gen. As Linkinguy_109 said this game is meant to be messed around in and had fun with. With the inclusion of Coop this game will only get more awesome.

You obviously never played the first game... or read The Zombie Survival Guide/World War Z. If anything, slow and incessant is worse than fast and easily dispatchable. The second game looks like just more of the same, with some improvements to the overall structure of the killing. I for one am glad to see not only the time limit, but the save system from the first game is intact... so I know it'll be worth more than a few play throughs.

It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. [Sighs] zombies edging toward you from every corner, kids lookin up to you, maintaining good personal hygiene - It's not easy, but sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do. And that's killin' zombies.

No they haven't and thank god. The timer is what added the tension and the challenge. They're also keeping survivors, psychopaths, fixed save points. The maps twice as big too. One of the best new IPs this gen.

yeah, but there's LOTS and LOTS of slow mindless zombies... well, there should be, I've yet to see, the first game did a good job of overwhelming you with them... except the Wii version, because it didn't have the ability to do it, you can basically play the Wii version by running around everything from what I hear

Yeah, I still download the original demo on XBL sometimes :P just because it's so fun. They may be slow, but you really do get overwhelmed by them - you cannot really stand still. First game had flaws (thus why I don't have it anymore), mainly the difficulty and the save system.

Not if you're a master of zombie survival. :P 2nd playthrough and beyond would be for insane achievements like killing off the same number of zombies as there are people in the city. Worth trying? For most, probably not.

More serious post: I'm glad to see the time limit come back as it created morally grey decisions; your survival and story progression vs. their survival.

Don't see a problem with the save system as well. I mean, there's one washroom in each section of the mall aside from the park and tunnels in the first game in addition to the security room and Carlito's hideout. Think you took too long to save that person? Reload the game and try to save them more quickly. Trouble with a boss? You're probably under-equipped.

I think most people wrongfully put the blame on the save system rather than the AI of friendly NPC's which made rescuing them much longer than it should've taken. Commanding them to go ahead of you and staying still to secure the area around them rather than follow you into mayhem helped a bit, but even then, they have pathfinding issues e.g not going around zombies and objects, getting stuck in the Paradise/Wonderland shortcut.

From what I understand, the developer they've chosen (one in Vancouver) were fans of the original... so as far as I'm concerned, there is nothing to worry about. Its when they start outsourcing IP to developers who don't even like it and told to make a new game. From what I've seen so far, it looks almost exactly like the first game with a ton of new stuff. Plus, from what I've heard, LP2 is exactly like LP, and those who loved LP loved LP2.
