wow. Looks like Resident Evil all over again.

Only, possibly, done right.

I have the sudden mental image of a grittier, and First Person version of dead rising now :B

Also, a machete seems like it'd be useful there

It's a great trailer, and one that evokes are real feel for what the developers want to game to be like, emotionally. That said, I have no clue from the trailer what the game would play like, or how this vibe would be conveyed in the rest of the game.

But it is a gorgeous trailer.

That is a really great trailer because it's presenting a zombie game that's less about killing the shit out of everything and more about desperate people just trying to protect their loved ones, and I like that.

That being said, how am I supposed to get excited about this? Is it an action game? Is it a sandbox/open-world style game? Is it all about surviving and running or just killing zombies? This is why I hate cutscene trailers so much, they don't tell me jack.
