IGN reports that Activision is planning a first-person shooter based on The Walking Dead to be developed by Terminal Reality (Terminal Velocity, BloodRayne) for release on PCs and consoles next year. They have a couple of trailers to whet your appetite, and here's the word they have on the game: Developed by Terminal Reality, The Walking Dead will revolve around Daryl Dixon and his brother Merle on a “haunting, unforgiving quest to make their way to the supposed safety of Atlanta.” Players will control Daryl as they attempt to avoid detection from zombies that hunt using sight, sound and smell and will choose between fighting them or using stealth to avoid detection. According to Activision, “No place is truly safe for Daryl as he makes his way through the Georgia countryside in this new, post-apocalyptic world.”
Supplies will be scarce and players will need to carefully manage food, ammunition and supplies as they make their way through the game. Daryl will encounter “a slew of other characters” along the way that can help or hurt him. Whether or not these characters accompany Daryl is completely up to the player and “represents just some of the major decisions that will constantly be made while fighting to survive.”

Err. That title is already out, and that's from Telltale.
Not the same, Telltale is a cartooninsh, episodic, point and click--miles away from a good FPS game.
(Interactivity does take a purposeful backseat to storytelling. TWD operates more as an interactive TV episode than a conventional adventure game. You never run from zombies in real-time. Puzzle solutions are transparent. Interstitial scenes take control away from you entirely.)
TR's version looks like it will be better in everyway by a longshot
Bit premature to say that since you haven't actually seen any gameplay from TR's version. It has potential if it properly integrates the stealth, survival and group interaction elements. But I'm predicting it won't, given Activision's track record with licensed games. It will more likely be a yet another straight-forward zombie shooter. |
