I just saw a preview of this game in the latest PCZone mag. Looks very interesting.

Anyway, some details about the game;
Its a source game, which means it will be available on Steam, which I always like. It's a classic zombie survival game, where you are pitted against hordes of zombies etc... The AI and animation is apparently pretty slick, with interesting unscripted sequences and hoard movement. However, this is not the thing that interests me...

It's a co-op. A full online multiplayer co-op. Campaigns will be downloaded automatically through steam, which you and up to 3 friends can play through, working together to complete it. The teamplay is vital, with you being able to cover each other's backs and save someone from dropping to their doom or the like, or blasting a zombie just as it was about to remove your friend's head. With only 4people being able to work together, each member will be incredibly valued, unlike in other online games.
Another interesting twist is that another 4 players can join... as zombies. These zombies will have special abilities that make the survivor's life even more hard, and therefore more fun.

I just saw this and though it would be interesting, as I like teamplay, so this would definitely be fun for me. I would look forward to playing it with anyone who may be getting it.

So, who's interested?

I am interested. Cooperative MMOFPS sounds sweet. Steam is good. It's all good!

Yeah, It seems to put a lot of emphasis on the co-op part, especially as there doesn't appear to be a single player. However, single player could be achieved on a private server, but what's the fun in that?

I had a big preview for this game back in December.

The guys from PCG were the survivors attacking zombies. However, they began to notice that the zombies were becoming a bit 'too clever.'

It turned out that virtually all the Valve employees in the office were logging into the game to play.

It says there are only 4 player zombies, each of which have a special ability. The rest of the zombies are AI controlled and have some form of "AI director" to make things more interesting. They either had an early version of the game that could have lots of standard player zombies or they weren't good enough to fight the player zombies.

As far as I am aware, there are 4 survivors that can be playing at anyone time, max. There can be any number of zombies. Or at least, I thought there could be.

Latest PCZ - 4 survivors, 4 special zombies, lots of AI standard zombies.

Looks like you're right. I've looked elsewhere. However, these elsewhere news thingys seem to have appeared after my issue, so this may have been a development after my mag.

Or just an unreleased piece of information...

*Mega On Topic Bump*

Nope, but November is awesome! I'm surprised they don't release it end of October, lol.

Well to be fair you left yourself open for that one, and with aaron around...

Yeah, strangely, I thought of Flasher when Aaron said that, lol.

Anyway, back on topic?

Any estimation of price and stuff on Steam? Also, would they be idiots and boost the price up for us over here. Hope not, being a Valve product.
