I remember the first time I played Resident Evil on my Playstation and was totally amazed the first time I blew off a zombie's head with my shotgun ... If I'd played Outbreak back then I would probably have thought it was even more amazing, and now ...

Ugh. As a solo project, it's somewhat impressive, but there's a reason games moved away from fixed camera style gameplay... it's fucking terrible.

Yeah, I watched the video for it and I can't figure out how you even aim??? Do you just point your character in the general direction of the enemy you want to shoot and it like, auto locks-on to the nearest target? I don't get it.

Yup. That's how the old RE games worked.

Damn, I was sort of hoping this was a sequel or remake of Codename: Outbreak, a 2001 game by GSC (of STALKER fame). Although rough around the edges, I nonetheless still quite enjoyed that game; it was a nice mix of tactical- and action shooter. It had - for its time - fairly large levels, you had a teammate who was surprisingly useful and the stealth aspects were great. Its eighth(?) level also formed a significant chunk of the the first map in STALKER. I'd love to see a modern remake of that.

This, however, is not the game I was hoping for. This is just another of those games that makes me dread "indie" titles. Lousy animation, an awful interface, unexciting gameplay and a complete lack of imagination (gee, zombies in the city, how /original/). Thank you for alerting me to this travesty so I know not to buy it.

Thanks. I'd never heard of this one. I see it's on GoG, so I think I'll pick it up.

Return to the roots of co-op survival horror

Aaaaand you lost me.

Actually, after watching the video, it never really had me to begin with.
