He has no rizz
now that the brains have settled COULD they all had just walked right past them (wouldn't even have to run)?
They should have taken refuge upstairs and nail all kinds of shit together to block the stairs and they would have been fine, until the girl turns into a zombie i guess.
The basement and attic were safe and Mr.Cooper was objectively correct in the end.
>The basement and attic were safe and Mr.Cooper was objectively correct in the end.
My NOTLD review about why Cooper was correct and Ben was the films villain....
https://www.popticnerve.com/2023/09/night-of-living-deadfact.html
!!!FACT!!!
I'm not going to read some pathetic namegay's blog. Cooper was obviously mistaken because he wanted to hide in the basement, a deathtrap with no way out should the house be overrun. If you were going to hide anywhere it would be upstairs where there are multiple escape routes.
Ben literally hides in the basement at the end and the zombies don't get him though he died and became one on his own

If you read my blog you'd understand why you're a dumb wienersucker who probably doesn't know which end to wipe!!!FACT!!!
People say we exhausted zombies. I disagree. I think the problem was that we mostly had no idea what to do with them. There are like five good zombie or zombie adjacent games if we count Resident Evil as one.
What are the other four if we don't count Residen Evil?
Asking for myself.
Agree, there might be some zombie stuff out there but most of them are slop. Sad really, I think zombie games have huge potential and variety if you're creative.
Barbara was based in this. Wish we had more zombie games with based, smart tomboys. Best part about was that she wasn't a total b***h.
yeah true. i want vampire bullshit to come back into style while we give zombie bullshit a break for a bit.
James Acaster if he was a girl
I hate how they changed from the original with the black guy being the only survivor and then getting killed to being turned into a zombie in the remake
The original ending was widely construed as a political statement on racism. I think the remake removed this to send a more optimistic message, as if to say, things have moved on since the 60s, we are all one people and subject to the same problems.
The film manages to tell a story in that one location by stoking interpersonal conflict and creating constant character drama. Videogames work along different lines. In a zombie game you'd usually expect to be running and gunning through a variety of environments. But if I remember, the Telltale Walking Dead games did have some segments where you were holed up in one spot while dealing with difficult personalities.
>we are all one people
Are we?
Whether we are or not, I believe that's why the change was made. The film is from 1990.
People still go wild for Resident Evil remakes.
That has more to do with the overall atmosphere than the enemy type, I think. It's a bunch of things, but they all generally boil down to "fun". Everything else is desperately trying to be 28 Days. Gritty and real is fricking stupid, because if I wanted gritty and real, I would just go into downtown Philly.
And get so drunk that you have to go to rehab?
>Drunk
If only alcohol was the biggest problem Philly had. Downtown is literally like a Walking Dead setpiece, anon.
You'll get to meet Mike O'Malley though.
Yes the remake is moronic like the anon said
why has no zombie game ever just copied the same premise and centered around defending one location from the zombies?
NMRIH2 is ruined now. Torn Banner decided instead of just making something in the same vein as the original game they'd make a semi-extraction shooter-esque game with permadeath and character stat progression. Fricking moronic.
The original Nazi Zombies? Granted it's not a full game and just a unlockable mode
Fort Zombie. Runs like shit. Too bad, it had things going into right direction, but never took off because of shittiest performance ever.
For a really good zombie game it should be:
1. NOT about humans.
2. Zombies should be slow
3. There should be a lots and lots of zombies.
4. Zombies should not be infinite.
in fact, i cant name one zombie game that does all that, hence "zombie games fatigue" is ridiculous to me because there was never a good zombie game to begin with, nothing to be tired of.
Dead Rising could be that, but respawning zombies put it down a notch. Place cleaned from zombies should be place cleaned from zombies. Limited supplies should preven player from just cleaning all the places, and should make player plan ahead which zombies/groups to avoid and which to clean up.
7 days to die?
>a good zombie game has to have slow zombies
you're a boring homosexual, with all due respect
everything else is spot on though
State of Decay kind of does that with your base which you can fill with survivors.
1 did, you could cram 40 frickers in the largest bases, but 2 tamped down on this hard and limits you to a paltry gaggle of 12 (10 without exploits).
plants vs zombies?
?feature=shared
Nah, they're just handled poorly.
I disagree.
we need to bring back traditional zombies, people controlled by priests
like dude why don't the zombies just eat each other lol
ZOMBIE MEAT NO GOOD MUST BE FRESH?
then eat fresh zombies then idk
haha braiiiinss
*drools*
>eating your kind
They're zombies not frickin savages bro.
anon, it's been a decade since anyone cared about zombies, and people take 20 years to feel nostalgic so it's gonna be another decade from now until anyone cares again
My boy Floch lookin' good.
>mfw that twist
Can't believe I waited through all that just watching to see how the two token rednecks bite the bullet only to have them survive all the way through the night only to be killed by his own stupid idea of shooting a live gas line........what a horrible way to go
They were already boring ten years ago.
?t=119
>killed a man for being a coward
Straight up murderer.
He snatched the gun from her hands when she was gripped in a zombie arm-lock at the window.

Bullseye

Who!?
Would
I genuinely feel like if you wouldn't, you'd have to be a total queer or a gay whos intimidated by a woman that shows a bit of a backbone.
(you)'re projecting so hard it's not even funny. Now bend over and spread that bussy :3
>if you don't like a manish dyke you are gay and intimidated by women
Same old homosexual arguments.
This is peak tomboy archetype of the 90s.
I want No More Room in Hell, but with killer machines.
I hear this so much
Where the frick were you people wearing yourself out on zombies? There's like one good zombie movie/game every 5 years? Were you just playing every piece of shit zombie game and watching horrible zombie movies?
Same. I don't count 3/10 trashfires as games, so from my perspective there hasn't been a real zombie game in years; they all die on the vine (Dead Matter, The Day Before, etc) or come out as watered-down streamer bait or wacky loot games.
Like nuclear holocaust dramas, the problem with zombies movies is that the best parts are the beginning where we're introduced to the protagonists and see the initial outbreak and the chaos that ensues and how they survive or die.
After that it settles into 3 scenarios where the characters encounter....
1: Good people
2: Bad people
3: Zombies
This is what The Walking Dead became and why I was right to drop it after season 2.
The environment where the outbreak happens is crucial otherwise its just people against zombies.
This is why the British TV series Dead Set was the last good piece of zombie media!!!FACT!!!
Dead Set was fun. That's the one with Riz Ahmed right?
I know it's probably considered gay around here but One Cut of the Dead is a lovely zombie movie. Just gotta make it through the first 20 minutes
>Like nuclear holocaust dramas, the problem with zombies movies is that the best parts are the beginning where we're introduced to the protagonists and see the initial outbreak and the chaos that ensues and how they survive or die.
You didn't enjoy the harrowing future that Threads presents after the initial blasts? There is some decent potential for storytelling by having to contest in a setting where literacy has dropped off a cliff, mutations are rampant and every major city has been reduced to dark age level congregations held together with duct tape and chain gangs. Hell you could go one further by setting the story outside of the major blastzones and following the slow decent into madness like what the first Mad Max film did with the roving gangs of wackos stealing gas and fricking shit up. All the while the state is buckling under the pressure of governance in a post-globalist world where the clock has been reset and the deficits from the previous era are coming home to roost.
You aren't forced to follow the same tropes when the worlds that you can create should be vast enough to produce concepts outside the usual haunts. When was the last time that you heard of a post apocalyptic story that followed a bunch of Eskimos wondering why the fish keep washing ashore and the polar bears are shedding teeth and fur like it's going out of fashion?
>You didn't enjoy the harrowing future that Threads presents after the initial blasts?
Threads is the only movie that genuinely scares me because that was more of a docudrama, however I do agree that it was interesting seeing civilization fall apart and regress over time but there was no real attempt to develop characters, just see how they deal with their situations and felt more "real".
With things like The Walking Dead it turns into soap opera melodrama which is why I lost interest.
!!!FACT!!!
no one understands that the first mad max is the best one
They get filtered by the harsh shitposting accents but it definitely has the potential for some quality kino. Looking at it now the film serves more like a time capsule of that era where as the later films diverge into their own realities and underlying influences. The feeling of loss is more insidious too since you can see the contrast of a society that is still chugging along paired with the wild shit that is going out on the roads. Eventually that ends up seeping into the major centers right until the genie gets let out of the bottle. The Toecutter and Immortan Joe sharing the same actor is a neat callback. Pretty much the same dude in all his dramatic flair plus 30 years worth of micky dees.
Also, I want to see zombie movies set in different eras and environments.
Set one in the old west in a town that once belonged to Indians but were massacred for its resources. An Indian descendant of those people runs a store in the town with his daughter who is raped and killed by some local hooligans'.
The sheriff and townsfolk refuses to do anything because one of them is the son of the man who practically owns the town.
The Indian goes into a secret cave where his ancestors use to perform rituals and using a book unleashes a spell that resurrects the 100+ dead Indians out in the desert who were buried in unmarked graves.
They siege the town and kill everyone in their path. The survivors barricade themselves in the local saloon and consist of the Sheriff, the rich man, his son who was a part of the group that killed the Indian girl, and a few others who have long bearing grudges against one another that causes them to fight and sabotage each other leading to their deaths.
In the end the the rich man and his son are the only ones left as they are surrounded by zombies and the Indian gives Rich man a choice, die with his son together or kill him and save himself.
Rich man shoots his son in the heart and kills him. The Indian man and the zombies leave. Rich man is relieved only for his now zombiefied son to kill him.
Indian leads the zombie Indians into the secret cave where he sets off explosives that buries them. He takes his horse and decided to leave the town for good, setting fire to his store which causes a widespread fire to every building, burning the entire town to the ground. as he walks off into the sunrise.
The end.
!!!FACT!!!
I love short hair on women so much bros.
I just want one more game where the zombies all groan, slowly lurch around like bloodied car wreck victims, and reach through the gaps in your barricaded windows to grab you.
If only resident evil 3 remake was actually good since the original has the best layout
Seriously, why couldn't they just walked pass the slow zombies to get to help? They limited their choices to:
-Locking themselves in the cellar
-Fight it out until morning/help arrives
-Get the gas for the car
It's silly because the story already had an in-built explanation: they're in the middle of the countryside. In reality, farmland is pitch-black at night, and if there were zombies in those deep rural shadows, they'd have a pretty good chance of catching you as you fumbled through. But the film can't use darkness itself as a threat because the conventions of filmmaking dictate that night-time scenes must be clearly lit, even out in the fields.

This is why someone should make a found footage zombie movie where someone is using a Go-pro cam and running around trying to survive!!!FACT!!!
well in the end Barbara does just walk and eventually met the friendly rednecks, but being alone + all the zombies were busy overrunning the house probably worked in her favor
People were saying back in the PS2 era that WWII shooters are boring and tired out, now people are nostalgic for them and want them back again. Things in pop culture come in cycles.
>zombies
I sleep
>viruses mutating hot women into monstergirls
REAL SHIT
>viruses mutating hot women into monstergirls
That's a fricking nice idea, monstergirls ftw
That's only because our reality is far worse than an actual zombie apocalypse would be.
But what if- ZOMBIES IN SPACE!?
What is this some kind of dead space or something?
sad that we never got a proper Babylon 5 game (yes i know about the freespace mod). Such a good show
I'm making a zombie game right now. Side project. I think you guys want an inevitable outcome. Failure is the only win. Do you guys like failing? I personally enjoy losing. Is anyone elsevypmp like me?
I've yet to see a zombie story in any medium where the problem is solved by someone actually coming up with a cure for zombie-ism. The cure is always treated as an obvious impossibility. So if you want to do something different, there it is.
The will smith movie and Stephen King Strain(i think)
>I've yet to see a zombie story in any medium where the problem is solved by someone actually coming up with a cure for zombie-ism.
One of the animated Resident Evil movies did this. It was the same one where a chick in a heli wipes out five apartment blocks with a single railgun slug cause she grazed the big bad. The implications here were a lot more grim since it was an airborne vaccine that turned the infected even the ones that were still chowing down on the free street dinners. One could only the imagine the relief of waking from a fever dream only to find that half of your ribcage is exposed to the elements. Rip to the poor bastard with a raging gut ache that ends up power chucking a ball of mashed hair with a side of eyes and teeth.
>Make a superhero zombie game
>Profit
The problem with zombie games is that your dude or dudette is, for some reason, immune to whatever is making the zombies in the first place
State of Decay
The zombies sucked in this. They even made the point that they could run right past them. All they would have to do is jog to the city. That being said, I don't remember how far it was. Not having cell phones really fricked this whole genre.
Heaven cites is only five miles!
Not that it matters it's a warzone m8![spoiler/]
People fail to understand that shit like evil dead and reanimator progressed past the point of zombie lore, creating a new type of horror trope that supercedes zombies. Anyone making a zombie film nowadays should probably kill themselves unless they can think of something original.
I doesn't really matter what you think, because you're already outside of the market's demographic. The only thing that matters, is what the kids think, because they're the primary force behind video game purchases. And for kids, zombies are still new and exciting. They will buy as many zombie games as they can get their parent to spend their money on.
Meanwhile, you, the man quickly approaching 40 years(or already over), are going to be more frugal with your money. With your refined tastes, you're going to purchase fewer games, and thus, your dollar has lost power.
>Meanwhile, you, the man quickly approaching 40 years(or already over), are going to be more frugal with your money. With your refined tastes, you're going to purchase fewer games, and thus, your dollar has lost power.
Wrong as once you're past 45 you spend money like a drunken sailor to buy things to keep you happy to fill the hole where your soul be and make you think that your work and suffering are worth it, which I assure you doesn't apply to me in any way.....!!!FACT!!!
Since when is this movie 'forgotten'?
Since Ash vs Evil Dead came out.

It's a great movie and it's worth watching just to hear how Resident Evil practically ripped off its entire soundtrack. It feels like the mansion might have taken some design cues and camera angles from the farmhouse too but I'm not as certain on that point.

Jared at Avalanche Reviews has what I consider to be the best review of the RE series here....
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRNG-PENUEEbGQxUIheqJG6CRNun4HAn_&si=6ceFuZJ62CtCp2o0
And in his vid on RE1 he details that the fixed camera angles were a compromise as you could have either detailed backgrounds with characters in better resolution unlike a fully 3D environment where everything would be low rez!!!FACT!!!
I read the whole thread and no one said it was forgotten.
creepypasta cryptid stuff gets a lot of shit deserving, but I feel like it's the only source of creative horror scenarios that aren't just reusing a typical archetype(as much as stories are shamelessly copied). I'm tired of zombies, I'm tired of slashers, I'm tired of fleshy bioweapons. come up with a novel entity/scenario that's actually creepy, possibilities are limitless.
Kojima did and not everyone liked it.
how do you even find an actor that looks like this
I think they might have used some makeup for that.

Oh and a reminder that Patricia Tallman has nice breasts!!!FACT!!!
Shut the frick up OP. Let's go play Kino.
We need scenarios with zombies and waterworld.
>We need scenarios with zombies and waterworld.
My favorite story in World War Z was the one about a rogue submarine that is trying to evade another one sent to destroy them. So they rest at the bottom of the ocean floor only to start hearing strange noises which they discover to be thousands of zombies clawing at the outside of the subs hull which alerts their rival sub.
I'm still mad we didn't get a docudrama adaptation of WWZ with survivors recounting their tales instead of that piece of shit with Brad Pitt and it's unbelievable that they spent 200 million fricking dollars on a what is a PG-13 ripoff of 28 Days/Weeks Later!!!FACT!!!
Zombie apocalypse is such a silly scenario.
Just hole up and wait for a week before zombies die from starvation.
It's not like they're gonna start agriculture or tend to livestock.

You watched 28 Days Later recently, didn't you?
It was already run into the ground and boring as frick by 2006. The last 14 years have been a hellscape of uninteresting schlock like TWD, because holy shit I guess the horse just wasn't beaten enough already.
Reminder that Dead Rising is $1.99 on xbox marketplace right now.
Is that Ensign Ro Laren from TNG?
It's just funny to me that a bunch of drunk rednecks out the back of pickup trucks solved the whole problem in an afternoon
It makes sense; the entire event was only a problem for clueless old folk taken by surprise, and hapless city-slickers. Once the local good old boys catch wind of things, it's a turkey-shoot, as it should be.
Weird how this 14 year old post only appeared now.
Fricking Moot and the time travelers.
