I'll get in on this.
Except I won't actually be able to make it on and play when you guys do. And even if I do I'll have to run and settle a fussy baby or two.
So I'll be relying on you guys to protect me.
On second thoughts maybe I'd be best off not playing lol
Not everything is The Best or Shit. Theres many levels between that, lets just enjoy stuff.
I loved the original, adding co-op to that should be a great move. Imagine the PUBG looting but instead of laggy bastards shooting you from a bush you've got a horde of zombies on your tail and a base full of survivors to look after back home. Can't wait.
First gameplay vid from IGN. Just shows the basic 4 player exploration and combat mechanics rather than anything deeper such as base building and crafting, that will come in later vids apparently.
Looking really good for co-op silliness...
Hmm. I don't like the set piece based plague heart thing to be honest, I loved just sneaking about and trying to get by without alerting the horde in the original. When they started shooting in the video I thought they'd fucked it as in the first game you'd attract a load of Zeds by being noisy. Didn't look like that was a thing in this version, which removes a lot of the peril/sense of dread which was a massive part of the atmosphere.
I'll still be all over it of course, I can't ever tire of zombies.
Actually thinking about it, maybe it is the same but it's obviously easier to deal with eight zeds shuffling to you when there are four of you playing, if you're alone that's time to run or die.
This is a bit dull tbh, but it's worth sticking on in the background to hear the devs spend an hour answering questions and filling in blanks about the IGN gameplay video.
