This should be a major mechanic, radios that you can broadcast your location on, ways to share and meet up with other survivors, sure, there may be tension between groups eventually but this is the biggest downfall of this genre and the reason these types of games attract so many people who want to kill on sight is, there is not a lot else to do and with only a handful of zombies on screen at any one time, no other danger to contend with.įinally, I want to talk about my first point. Despite what every apocalyptic story seems to predict humans would seek each other out. We are pack animals, we seek human companionship and we find solace together. I was caught up in a hurricane (its how I broke my back) and not one person wanted to go it alone, in fact, I can honestly say being alone would have been terrifying. It is a proven fact that in a crisis people band together. Why is it, that the only reason I was killed by a zombie, is that I was bored of running around and decided to let a small group of them kill me? Why is it that the threat in all zombie survival games comes from other players and not the zombies? Why not remove the zombies all together and let the real threat be the other players if this is the intent? The reason is simple, there are no zombie survival games that get the number of zombies on screen needed to make zombies a real threat so people have to invent the threat themselves.

Actually, in Survive the Nights after you run past they just join the conga line of dead folk behind and I hear the Benny Hill theme playing in my head while I run on. 12 Years ago on a machine with a roughly equivalent spec of core 2 duo and a GTX7800, and I felt overwhelmed at the number of Zombies onscreen, how come in modern zombie games there are only ever a few zombies on screen and I can run past them. On essay point 2 however, Dead Rising launched on August the 8th 2006 for the Xbox 360. Here is my short essay entitled “Zombies are a menace because” which I think all game developers should learn before they make a zombie game.Ĥ) HEADSHOTS ONLY, YOU HAVE TO DESTROY THE BRAINįrom a gameplay point of view, I understand the lack of headshot only kills in Survive the Nights or any zombie game, this makes sense, it would be too hard to have headshots only and it would mean only the elite gamers would be able to fair well.

They bite you, you get eaten or turn and then you bite, there is no arm flailing in any Romero movie I have ever seen and there is certainly no “jump attack” (Thank you for that one Dean Hall). Next, and this is a big one that all developers cannot solve, ZOMBIES BITE. At the very least you would have seen that the dead were coming back to life and locked your front door so from the moment the game began there is no immersion. You would be at home, at work, in a car or somewhere that isn’t the middle of a field. No one would begin a survival experience in the middle of a field with a wind-up torch and an empty water bottle. From the start, the premises in Survive the Nights are all wrong.
