Red Dead Redemption (incl. new Zombie DLC)

[Neil]

Just wish they'd release it for the PC!

[Rancid Carcass]

Which reminds me, without a date for the on-disc release. 26th November if IGN is to be believed.

First thing I noticed was that Xbox 360 banner ad over top of that adverti...I mean, review I just went online and queued up the Undead pack for my son's Xbox - he's going to shit a brick when he turns it on and sees that downloading. I can't wait to check this out - and the 4 horses of the apocalypse angle sounds kinda cool!

IGN Video Review: I like the idea of clearing out the towns, so I assume you can eventually get rid of the undead nightmare from the lands of RDR - that would be a nice touch, because in most zombie games you can never clear an area out for good, only temporarily. Looking forward to getting this on-disc.

Well, I'm just going to post what my son said about the game last night and leave it at that: "I've played a lot of zombie games, and this one is THE BEST!"

if your son hasn't played the original RE games, you might want to introduce him to that epicness...if he has, you might want to get his head checked. j/k, as i've not played undead nightmare yet, but that's a pretty bold statement. i am pretty optimistic about what lies in store for mr marston, though.

What did he particularly enjoy about it? Neil - it's hard to pin down, as he gets so excited about it and starts telling me these long, rambling stories about things that have happened to him in the game. He's 14, so that's kind of expected, but can be exhausting! He didn't have "one thing" in particular that he liked or spoke about, but it seems the atmosphere is really cool. I watching him play it, and he managed to tame two of the 4 horses - Pestilence and War. He's still looking for Death and Famine. I believe once you find all 4, you can call any of them at any time. if your son hasn't played the original RE games, you might want to introduce him to that epicness...if he has, you might want to get his head checked. j/k, as i've not played undead nightmare yet, but that's a pretty bold statement. i am pretty optimistic about what lies in store for mr marston, though. Well, keep in mind he's 14. Most of his "zombie game" experience has been Left4Dead 1 & 2, Dead Rising 1 & 2, a few mods for some of the other games I've played that converted them to zombie games, Silent Hill (can we even say there's zombies in that?) and to be honest, i'm not sure if he's played any of the RE games. If he hasn't, I should get him on them asap. I played quite a few of the RE games - liked some, didn't like others. Seemed to be hit-or-miss for me, but he might be different. There is something really cool about zombies in the "old west" so-to-speak setting. The one thing I think was kinda iffy though is the zombies REQUIRE headshots to put them down. You can unload 6 bullets in their chest, but they'll get back up. Same with lightining them on fire. You must give 'em "one to the head" to bring 'em down.

Agreed on both counts.

[darth los]

Agreed. That's supposed to be the way to bring down shamblers and it adds an added element of gameplay. I love left 4 dead and the fact that you don't have to shoot them in the head to bring them down works for that game. Why? Runners. It's next to impossible to get a clean head shot with them charging at you nevermind a horde. So that doesn't bother me. But with shamblers that's the way it ought to be. Not even the old shcool RE games had that pre-requisite. They got it right here.

[ProfessorChaos]

yeah, MZ. seems like we've had quite a few conversations about our dream zombie game. i've often thought how fucking rad it'd be if all of us gaming enthusiasts on this site got together and created the definitive zombie game. we've got quite a few pieces to the puzzle. but then some jaded-ass (that'd be you hellsing) would have to chime in about shamblers being too boring for a game, WE NEED MOAR ZOMBIES THAT FLY, D00DZ. who knows, maybe if "the walking dead" is as big of a hit as we are all anticipating, it'll open the doors for the game of our dreams...
