What would YOU want to see in a zombie game?

[Cazeoj276]

There are quite a few zombie games here on the hiveworkshop as well as in the general wc3 map making community. But, only a few have become truly succesful, such as Eras Zombie Invasion, World War Z, and some others. But, how did they become so popular? Is it because of the gameplay, models, terrain, or just because of the lack of zombie games to play? My questing for you is, what would you truly want to see in a zombie game? Depending on the information provided by hiveworkshop fans i will attempt to create a zombie game according to what the polls and comments state. I have made several zombies games in the past and am currently working on another so i am a decent map-maker. I am certain you will not be wasting your time posting comments and asnwering the poll question. So please, let me know what you like about zombies and what you would like to see in a zombies game. Thankyou

I'd like to see some single/multiplayer hero zombie games. It might play out similarily to a WoW dungeon, but at some key points, it would play a quick bit of scary music, and zombies jump out at you. Or, some random corpses might get up and attack you.

I also really like games where you become a zombie upon death. I guess the Vampirism games have that aspect, but they're base builders as well.

not quite on your list, but i like to see moderate/high micro, aka lower hped heros... Lots of blood and special effects....
variant units, rather than just zombies, add some flameing zombies, explodeing zombies, zombie dogs... maybe zombie ranged, but not alot of them, since the low hp...

holding one area dosnt require micro, which is why i like more open areas, where zombies come from every direction, and the only way to survive is with a lil shootnfall aka moveing your hero back a little bit at a time... but never getting cornered or ur fuked

swats gotta be my fave zombie game, i kinda like the theeme of ammo, but its never very practical...

im working on sort of a mideval zombie game XD, well undead.. there will be necros, crypt fiends, skele mages ect....


save/load just dosnt seem to cut it in most the zombie games, although it would be a cool idea, to have it record your 'score', and as your score increases so does dificulty... that way you could always challenge yourself.... and show how good you are.... i wish there was a way to make 1time use codes, so you couldnt "replay" the next game with ur code if ur person died..

I want to see Zombies!

No but seriously, surviving in a ruined city with alot of barricading is really fun, Left for Dead amongst others taught us that.

Also a medieval hero 1-3 hit to be killed is would be fun.

If a player dies they should return as a zombie. If they die as a zombie they should return after some time.

Agreed with terra on all his points.

But I do enjoy the occasional epic battles against massive forces of undead. The feeling of smiting countless undead minions is just plain soothing... And it relieves stress for me without having to break in a few people's heads in real life.

Cities, guns, gore.

Voted "Ruined City Lone Survivor Types" and "Surviving Making your way to Evacuation Sites"

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

me too. an idea would be there would be more zombie at night and during day you can make barricades to hole up in a supermarkets and stuff. while some members look through the supermarket for supply, you defend the barricade, survive the night until the zombies stop spawning. repeat and make your way to evacuation point. like that flash game "Last Stand"

 

[Bloody_Turds]

why more zombies at night? lol
id say maybe harder zombies, or slight evasion or sumthin... but zombies are day creatures >.>

 

[Avex]

Wow, hax, I actually just started making a map about this and this thread pops up.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

yeah. i guess youre right. increase in evasion at night because people cant shoot properly due to lack of light.

 

[raid1000]

so where do these zombies come from?
dont tell me its the "virus that turns ppl into zombies" again cuz that idea is oooooooold

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

an extremist terrorist attack on a major city, using aerosol chemical agent which blocks major neurochemicals in your brain, effectively turning you into a violent, irratic foaming animal. the neighbouring city evacuated due to the aerosol spreading by the wind. eveyone in your city, however, has turned into "zombies" except for few survivors

there! no lame virus theory

"On Hallowe'en, a big, nasty witch came and made everybody zombies, but you survived for no real reason. Now you have to kill zombies."

It's... Perfect!!!

 

[bounty hunter2]

I love when people get together and thats the only way they can survive. They gather up at one point make cannons barricade up...
