“What could have been a tense hunt through the jungles feels like an encounter from a Metal Gear Solid rip off.”

You mean like Bethesda was listening about paid mods?

So basically any existing Pixar film?

Superman does good. The Switch is doing well.

It’s not just an achievement, it’s an achievemore.

A GoT spoiler article without the spoiler in the headline?! What are you playing at, Kotaku?

The real feat is not slapping the shit out of the guy screaming in his ear every two seconds....

It’s worked into the story/game a little, but it’s not the dominant conflict like it is in the Walking Dead. At this point in the timeline most Survivors are happy to see others Survivors because it means they’re getting rescued/fed/sheltered.

The Fallen are not dead/undead. :)

It’s actually worked into the story. There’s a LOT of downtime and it makes some of them feel normal or keep their minds off everything else. There are other parallels from other characters too so it’s not all about appearances — these just happen to be a few of several dozen characters in the game.

Hello Prophit, thanks for your feedback. “Incomplete” in what way, if you don’t mind elaborating? :)

Grant showed up with the lab coat himself. A lot of times the actor/model brings their own outfit and we go with that. No one is forced to wear/be something they don’t want to be, of course.

Going into manufacturing around December, once all of the card images for the Core Set are complete. :)

Firstly, thank you for the compliment on the Impaled Roamer shot!

Correct! “Strikers” have belts wrapped around their non-gun arm because they often dive into the horde to strike at key targets (they’re the only survivors with Z.’s equivalent of Haste/Charge).

Z. focuses on the Survivors vs. Fallen. If you want Survivors fighting Survivors there’s plenty of other things that do that — we wanted to do something different.

Thank you! Those are real live maggots.

Creative Director here! Yes, this character (and the location deck she comes from) were originally inspired by HOTD, just as the Mall location was inspired by Dawn of the Dead, and so on. The samurai schoolgirl was originally more sexualized, but it didn’t really fit with the rest of how Z. was turning out. It’s okay

Ohhhh yess, it did, and when the game is out I plan to write a lengthy post-mortem and make a *considerably* less ambitious project as a follow-up. :)

Maybe if the zombies learned to use weapons, otherwise I think she’ll be okay. ;)
