Just a funny thought(edited!)

I don't know if anyone has brought this thought to light or not before me, but doesn't anyone find it a little funny that while other forms of media have become oversaturated with Vampires, Videogames in general have seemingly become saturated with Zombies. What I would consider to be the polar opposite of vampires in the general monster world.

Edit: It was brought to my attention that this particular thread should be placed in a general disscussion thread so to keep things in the spirit of SW's

If acurrent gen console were aVampire, Werewolf or Zombie which would it be and why?

Meh, they're all the same to me.

Zombies rule!

The Walking Dead is one of the best new TV series this year along with the Event.

Well, not literally the same, but I don't care for either so they're the same in that sense.

I just find it kinda interesting from a social standpoint, almost as if game devs are purposely being counter culture. I'm no fan of the twilight sparkly vampires but it seems as if devs are completely avoiding using vampires in any of their upcoming games to avoid being seen as falling in line with pop culture. Castlevania was released recently and of course featured vampires but it also hasa long history before all the vamp phenom. The last good game I can recall using them as a main character/villian this gen would have to be Monsters Probably stole my princess.

There have been many zombie movies as well.

Actually both zombies and vampires are popular in both video games and movies.

And don't forget books and graphic novels, there are some out there too...

Edit: Whats the point of this topic in System Wars? Shouldn't it be in "general games discussion" or something like that?

Yes the people who work(ed) on the graphic novel also created and write the episodes for the tv series.

Vampires = emo Werewolves = bi Zombies = hippies of course, that's strictly my point of view.funsohng

Brainiacs would be a better description for zombies :P

Ya but the relationship is different. Vampires can be seen as positive in TV shows. But is there ever a good zombie? Like a cool one that you can go to high school with? No. While zombies have become saturated , mainly we are trying to blow their heads off.
