Oddworld is VERY NOT about zombies. It's an old ps1 puzzle platformer about being a little alien dude in a meat factory. I dunno if the "new & tasty" remake is any good, but I just wanted to let you know in case that actually sounds interesting to you.
I'd like to try Prototype 2 if you're willing to part with it. It looks pretty good and is supposedly the better game of the two.
Oddworld 2 WAS supposed to feature zombies, but in the end it didnt.
Oddly enough I recalled that it did because I dimly recalled reading about that in CGW... almost 20 years ago. Wow
Isn't...Prototype the game about a guy who has a virus or something and can mutate? Wherein the people affected aren't technically zombies, and there's a crazy 'last line of defence' force who shoots everyone because 'island is contaminated! D:', and your protagonist can do silly awesome stuff, alongside being able to fly and morph?
And every human has 1 hp regardless of what you do?
I was so grumpy at that game because it NEVER LET ME STAY AT 0 CIVILIAN/Other innocent 'deaths'.
I mean I managed to stay there for quite a time, until this ONE mission which forces you to use a bloody tank to ferry some NPC lady out of her area because the place is infected. I had to drive slowly because somehow Civilians kept sticking to my tank, as in running to it and cowering at its side or just running to it while it moves even when there's no enemy in sight...in open ground, and cowering next to it as if it is cover.
And with the number of civilians, this means I get boxed in by people hiding
on all moving sides. So there started my game of 'oooo fine, let's be this one dude who smashes everything as 'collateral' UGH'.
Cheers overseer \o You do nice things with these things.
