Looks like it's going to be nothing like the trailer.

Where do you get that?

3rd person view, with a melee weapon.  Though I kinda expect the melee here to 1 or 2 shot the zombies...

Uh, it's 1st person view.
Developers usually don't show screenshots from player's perspective, you know.
About GFX: Apparently the screens don't show how the game really looks like. There were a few game presentations already and it looks better\similar to Crysis 2.

Heck if I know, I see whatever they give and take the worse impression out of it.

Price is now announced on steam:

one copy - US$49.99  (Ie, 50 bucks)
four copies - US$ 149.97

Any one planning on chipping in for a four-pack? The price per copy ends up being $37.49 + paypal expenses.

[Cthulhu]

I might, how would we go about doing that?

Release date?

Release date?

September 6th, 2011 according to Steam. I might be interested in chipping in for a four pack, though I'll have to check with my gaming buddies first and see if they are interested. Money's tight at the moment though, probably won't make any decisions 'til sometime in August. Kind of surprised it's coming out so soon.

Release date?

Steam shows this for me:

Available: 8 September 2011
This game will unlock in approximately 1 month, 3 weeks, 1 day and 1 hour

So we have time.

I might, how would we go about doing that?

We gather four people, one buys the four pack and sells each copy through paypal to the other 3. The price will be a bit more than $37.49 for the ones paying through paypal since it charges 6.4% + some cents depending on which country the person receiving is in. Around $40, most likely.

Edit: In my case it would be 7.4% for international payments, so I'm probably not the best one to buy the four pack.


But yes, I will wait til it's closer to release before buying... I want to see if any more previews appear... I've been having a horrible luck with this whole pre-purchase thing, which I really shouldn't be doing.

Hrm, guess it's off a bit for different countries? I'm fairly sure I'll be getting this game at some point assuming money isn't an issue, but one thing that's bugging me is that I haven't seen mention of a "versus" mode. Co-op is great and all, but it just seems like a missed opportunity if they leave it out. It's probably better than cobbling together a half-assed, poorly designed system though.

[Soulwynd]

It is. It's usually different from US, Europe, and South America... I'm in South American and we, for some reason, usually get the same date as either European or Australian releases.


There's a nice play-through from the developers online, but some pvp could be fun, yes... Just not like Borderlands. Actual matches would be better, with one team playing as zombies.

Actually, an even better idea would be to have players as zombies in the actual game, as a co-op team tries to do each mission and the other group of players, as zombies, tries to keep them from doing it.

^Left 4 Dead?

[Soulwynd]

^Left 4 Dead?

Nope, L4D isn't open world nor a RPG. Simply saying L4D would imply on it being a linear mission and not being a TF2 kind of experience or an open world one.

Honestly, I don't want anything L4D-like. It sucks.

Yeah unfortunately...

I have to get it because I promised a friend I would... The problem is that it is for the most part "Boarderlands with zombies"

[Cthulhu]

That would be cool, but we would've heard about it by now if it were going in.

Anybody who seriously thought the trailer was going to be a good representation of the game should PM me.  I have a statue in New York I'm selling for a great value.  The game's going to be Borderlands with Zombies, that was obvious as soon as the first gameplay footage came in.

I loved Borderlands.  I'll like this.

It is kinda sad... the game I want is the Trailer.

The way the game actually is almost makes me want to say "THE TRAILER IS A LIE!" over and over again.

Though to admit they likely had an idea for the game to be more like that but couldn't get the ideas come together because they are talentless hacks (hyperbole) without enough funding.

In otherwords... I have a feeling they originally intended the game to be like the trailer (or at least more true to the vision of the trailer... A large zombie sandbox survival game with character depth, emotional depth, and striking imagry) but couldn't do it.

So yes when I first saw the trailer, but before I saw the gameplay, I thought the game was a lot closer to the trailer. Besides I find Boarderlands to be sort of mediocre.
