Always have the zombies just pop up and take over the entire town in like 15 minutes?
I always thought it would be cool to see a city in the middle of an outbreak, which slowly transforms more and more into hell as the story progresses.
Like, wouldn't it be kind of cool to, say, pass through city streets where the cops have set up roadblocks for quarantine as desperate riotters fight with the cops trying to get by, then come back later to see the barricades torn down and open a new path of progression.
Or to pass through a church where all the parishioners are barricaded into the building, and they offer you medical supplies and hold sermons and sing hymns, with sort of a grim but hopeful mood that their faith will save them, only to later come back and find that they're all monsters now.
It always feels like zombie games just jump the gun and go "everyone's monsters now" and it lacks any sort of meaningful investment into what that place once was.
2020 alone proves how fucking stupid humanity is when it comes to pandemics. Imagine zombies this year. All the people claiming it was fake and hoax and conspiracy. They'd have zombies chewing their arms off and be denying it on camera.
It took 1 month for Covid to fuck the world up. Zombies would take 2 weeks.
Daniel Allen
No.
Jonathan Murphy
The thing with zombies is you can literally see them, and prove they exist and are as lethal as you are led to believe.
Austin James
Covid >Goverment and news say hundereds are dying each day due to Covid >Constant news reports with footage of Covid patients in ICU >People still don't belive it's real
Zombies >Government and news say hundereds are dying each day due to the T-Virus >Constant news reports with footage of police shooting zombies in the streets >People still don't believe the T-Virus is real and think the zombies are homeless people high on new drugs
I can see it happening
Dylan Green
That sounds like a really cool idea, op. Seeing the gradual take-over of the game's world setting by a force of conflict would make for great games. Too many stories just put you right in the thick of the disaster, or much later after everyone else is dead.
Benjamin Campbell
I once loved thinking how quickly a zombie pandemic would be over almost immediately since every man, woman and child knows how to fight them. Then Covid happens and i'm once again reminded how retarded virus deniers can be. While I don't think we'll hit apocalyptic levels, we would definitely hit Train to Busan Peninsula levels where we'd quarantine entire countries with militia forces.
Jordan Edwards
Prototype was fun because of this.
Leo Baker
I'm A Hero manga does this. They even show 2chan posts as the zombies beggin spreading.
>Always have the zombies just pop up and take over the entire town in like 15 minutes? The fall of Raccoon City happens over 2-3 weeks, was a long term problem that began a full month or two before September and was in part of the City's drinking water system. If you don't know what you are actually talking about OP, don't make threads.

>Government and news say masks don't protect you from wu flu so stop buying them People don't trust them for a reason.
Brandon Jackson
It'd be a walking simulator until the gameplay would suddenly shift to zombie gameplay (stealth or action or whatever)
Why not just make it into an on-the-rails VR ghost-train-esque experience? I'd "experience" the shit out of that.
Imagine just being a passenger on the Train to Busan in VR.
Daniel Evans
This, and also the fact that Nemesis takes place during the full outbreak.
OP is dumb as hell.
Justin Adams
I think you're right, especially if you consider that T-virus was created but a huge megacorp who I can fucking guarantee would be pumping out all kinds of misinfo during the early stages to try and deflect blame from themselves.
That said, I rememebr seeing that some studies showed that covid deniers actually responded more positively when the language about the virus presented it more as an enemy that we had to defeat rather than just a virus, so perhaps zombies would be slightly different since they actually do have that physical presence that people can pin the concept of "enemy" onto. What might be a more realistic reason for zombies to get out of control would be because there'd be a big long debate dragged out about the ethics of trying to quarantine them and find a cure vs. letting people go open season on them.
Liam Foster
Trump lost.
Charles Cruz

Tyler Ortiz
Yes, RE2 and RE3 are literally the absolute tail end of the outbreak.
Owen Torres
My uncle had a theory once that zombie movies and games have been funded by a cult of apocalyptics who want people to get used to the idea of zombies so that when they release their contagion no one believes it.
Brody Gray
>People don't trust them for a reason. they cost financially little and assist in preventing the spread
Jonathan Jackson
how many people can a covid patient infect in a large gathering before he's stopped? all of them potentially how many could a zombie chow through before someone does something? like 2 a bite based infection would go nowhere, like remember that time a dog cought rabies and infectel all dogs in north america? me neither
Logan Williams
OP clearly wasn't talking about RE specifically, but even then you still don't get to experience that part of it in game and everything is already gone to shit so it might as well have started 15mins ago for all the difference it makes.
Jack Ward
What? Retard, the T-Virus in RE alone is as contaigious as ebola only unlike ebola the host is not incapacitated in fact the opposite they become more resilient and aggressively seek to infect others. On top of this, T-Virus has a fucking incubation period where the host is still human and in the stages of a sometimes week long process of change before they finally crash out and rise again, it's in the blood. It's in the saliva, the spittle, the coughing, it's HIGHLY contagious and to top it all off for Raccoon city it ended up in their water treatment system
Daniel Green
>no one believes it. I think it's likely the opposite would happen. People might react with "I'm not even surprised anymore / It had to happen eventually." kind of attitudes. Even the talk of aliens and videos of supposed ufos on fighter plane cameras doesn't get people excited. It's just "Oh, yeah, that's kinda neat."
Lucas Butler
Have you already memory-holed the fact that "don't buy masks they do nothing and doctors need them" was the official stance from professionals and news media at the start of this year?
Noah Murphy
>OP clearly wasn't talking about RE specifically he literally uses RE as his OP image. He shouldn't use it at all then because he looks fucking retarded. >it might as well have started 15 minutes ago but it fucking didn't. The fuck does he want? A boring stat management game set in a fucking hospital?
Dylan Wood
Remember when everyone thought that zombies were real back in 2012? Drug crazed nutjob ate someone on the street, took over 10 shots of >9mm before going down and tried to bite the officers. There were multiple incidents in a week
Kayden Long
wading through Trump-failed electoral revisionists feels like a zombie apocalypse desu
just more NASCAR and inbreeding
Landon Rodriguez
>I always thought it would be cool to see a city in the middle of an outbreak, which slowly transforms more and more into hell as the story progresses.
Yeah the logs in Resident Evil 2's police station made for great reading, I still remember the cops mentioning everything from ammunition shortages and suspected sabotage to when they first encountered a "licker". The slow doom of the characters leaving the notes seemed much more interesting than the actual game storyline, I wonder why they never made a sequel where you're a RPD cop as the outbreak begins sort of like Half Life Blue Shift
Leo Rodriguez
>important scientist recording audio log >"oh no they're coming, aghhhhhh get away from me!!!!" >audio recorded successfully
You're not wrong. It's surprising that even after the success of The Last of Us' intro nobody has gone in that direction.
Wyatt Martin
So what if its his fucking OP image, the subject and his post makes it obvious he's talking about zombie shit in general, would you prefer an anime reaction image you retard? >The fuck does he want? Read nigga, he wants to see the gradual collapse of an area under the growing zombie threat, not one already in ruin.
Could be like voicemail where it just times out after a time. But to be fair, that would require a bit of dead air after their screams stop. Which audio designers should have been doing.
Isaiah Morgan
because it's fucking boring, no one wants a retarded "theme hospital but the only patients are zombies" what's the fucking point? >uh so we are in the beginnings of this two week long zombie outbreak, i can see it happening what shall we do? >um let's simply leave the city today >ok wow amazing.
Brandon Phillips
The fuck is this moron blithering about.
Bentley Phillips
>Tape 01 >He bit me, that drunk asshole actually bit me! >Tape 06 I'm sorry... Martha....... grrrghhhh! How do they come up with this stuff
Ian Davis
It's a problem with calling games "games" people think they need to be fun and have points, rather than just allowing interactive stories to unfold.
Logan Powell
It's bot exactly what you are asking, but in some games you can see the apocalypse getting worse each day. In Dead Rising 2 you start with survivors everywhere and a few zombies you kill for fun. But as you play more and more zombies will appear and you will find less survivors. In the late game a new virus appear and the game becomes an actual horror game. In State of Decay it's the same, the resources are finite and you have to flee the map and each time you get to a new map the zombies are harder and you will find less resources.
Benjamin Richardson
Societal decay, riots, fear, panic, traffic jams, every man for himself... how exactly is that boring? Especially when compared to the usual - you dumped into a post-apocalypse full of zombies.
Anthony Taylor
I'm sick of this gay plague zombie scifi BULLSHIT. Bring back voodoo/magic zombies.
Tyler Howard
actual nigger here. zombies are based on a voodoo curse that enslaves you and kills your mind, instantly. the idea, and fear behind zombies is that they're a curse on society that near-instantly ends it.
Oliver Murphy
voodoomind
Carson Sanders
I would have preferred if The Last of Us was like that. The first 20 minutes were really cool and sold the 'shit's on fire, yo and I'm just a cunny' vibe. The rest of the game is still good but not at all original.
Grayson Martinez
'Ate last of us Luv its fungal infected Simple as
Chase Carter
As a fucking game how does it play though?
Ethan Harris
>Ate last of us Wow, you must've been really hungry.
Jace Martin
So how many anons here would immediately kill themselves if a zombie pandemic happened?
Kevin Bell
Consneed. You will never be a woman.
Matthew Torres
Didn't Prototype already do this?
Nolan Roberts
i don't understand how you crippledick retards believe this shit
i live in tennessee, noone here has worn a mask 12 months since this funny bullshit started up, nobody knows anyone who "has had covid" (and EVERYONE knows eachother) other than literal mentally ill old women who constantly make shit up for attention (*80 year old women saying they "have covid" and forgot they mentioned it the week later)
the """recorded covid deaths""" in our state are literally old people dying of outlying causes and being falsely reported to fuel a narrative, they had no cough, they had no ventilator or whatever, their families were denied from being able to see them despite being able to communicate with them over phone and knowing literally nothing "covid related" was even happening to them, they died of fucking cancer or general oldfuck organ failure alone in a hospital with noone around
fuck you
Oliver Allen
Doesn’t RE3R begin at the start of the outbreak? Jill even comments on how she can’t believe how quickly it’s spread or something when she’s with Brad.
Robert Ortiz
How fucking dare you say that name during a zombie apocalypse?
Fairly mundanely - think Shaun of the Dead. You can think up a million ways to start a zombie game by it not being zombies right away. >You are visiting your relatives in a big city, but your taxi gets stuck in a traffic jam a few blocks out, so you have to get out and walk on foot >You are part of a team of paramedics out on a 911 call, which turns out to be some of the first zombies in the game >You are chilling at home playing [non-descript videogame] on [non-specific brand console] and hear yells outside
