First thing's first: this is not the game that won Video Game of the Year at the VGA, nor is it the one with the adorable Clementine and yada yada.
No, this game is based off the show, AMC's The Walking Dead. Here's a blurb courtesy of IGN:
This first-person action game allows players to assume the role of the crossbow-wielding survivor Daryl Dixon, alongside his brother Merle, on a haunting, unforgiving quest to make their way to the supposed safety of Atlanta.
The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct takes the undead and brings them out of the TV show and into console gaming systems in a terrifying way. The iconic walkers will relentlessly hunt down players like their television counterparts, using a combination of sight, sound and smell. As Daryl, players will need to tread carefully throughout each new area they explore. Once discovered, it doesn't take much to attract an unstoppable horde of undead walkers, so every threat needs to be assessed, and every situation analyzed. Players will have to choose between whether to stay and fight while risking a gruesome death or using stealth to avoid the undead. No place is truly safe for Daryl as he makes his way through the Georgia countryside in this new, post-apocalyptic world.
We all know the original episodic Walking Dead stole our hearts, so what do you expect of this game? They're not directly related, as, iirc, the man who penned the Walking Dead comic said it himself that he's not 100% affiliated with Survival Instinct. I'll try to confirm that. But what are you opinions? We all know how awesome the show is (I'm biased).
Thoughts?
