Here's a list of 10 Zombie films you must watch before you die.

And then tell me the only way to portray Zombies is as mind-dead amoeba, and that that makes the interesting cinematic portrayal of zombies.. Zombies are scarier when they do have intelligence.. like being trapped in a room surrounded by zombies, wouldn't it be worrying if you thought that they might be able to figure a way to get in?

Meh. List is alright.
I must note there is nothing by George A Romero on there and well, imho he is the Godfather of Zombie flicks.

Hey I know what you can do .. go eat something!
Really man, this is a valid discussion.. your comment is juvenile at best.

Regardless of how long ago it started, if you are expecting the quality of the engine to dwarf CoJ efforts then you might be suprised.
Some similarties exist, such as the sudden game over screen if you stray out of bounds, like swimming out into the ocean. No drowning animation or anything, just "Game over man". I'm also reading that there is a lack of physics animation for real world objects (e.g. Zombie on the beach, beach chair in the way, does the zombie knock the beach chair out of the way as it stumbles towards you, no.. instead it carefully path traces around it..). Does that sound like a braind-dead zombie to you?
For two titles released so close togther, how smart is a software company that does not invest into a middleware game engine that would be used to bring out the best in both titles. I think expecting it to be chalk and cheese would raise some serious internal issues on the part of this developer.
My prediction is a 7/10 title.
Remember from a commercial standpoint your as good as your last game in this industry.
I hope I'm wrong, I have pre-ordered this!

Oh really. I didn't even read the list, just making a point. But yes, Romero's zombie flicks are my favourites.. like that one where there is a head zombie, that hasn't quite turned, and is smarter than the others and becomes the leader. Freaky! The one where the rebels are shooting fireworks into the air that puts in the zombies in a trance. Can you do that in this game?

Don't think so. I think its cheaper to ship them overseas.

Filming took place in Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.[3]

Leasha said: Yeah don't mind me, going off topic with the zombie flicks...
Sorry Manda.
