Dead Rush

I saw a preview of Dead Rush in the new GI, and wasn't really excited about it until I read about the neat vehicle system, which enables you to mix and match cars out of scraps and parts, and put them together, with engine work (when and if it's needed) being done by someone named Cass. There's a rather complex (well, for this genre anyway) system for the cars that makes each part important, as it provides shielding from the enemies, who shouldn't look the same due to them being generated from a huge pool of parts (another cool thing about it.) Just going by what's in this preview, I'm really excited about this game, and can't wait to see it released.

The article in the new GI about this was really good. Seems very much like the Day of the Dead vibe I was hoping for with RE:Outbreak, and didn't get.

Well, I watched E3 trailer for this at gametrailers, and it looked decent. Graphically it was somewhat ugly, but it had few neat ideas. City full of zombies and mutants and option to go anywhere, somewhat in GTA3 style, aforementioned car abilities, and lots of action makes me to give it another look.

I was going to make a topic for this, so yeah, the game looks ugly but sounds like it's moving towards the flexivity that is necessary for a compelling zombie game (as such, there have been zero made). Hopefully, someone will get the idea to make the ultimate zombie game: a zombie free-roaming FPS with tons of destructible environments and buildings.

The fact that Treyarch is working on it is two-sided : their ports have been excellent, but original games haven't executed their ambitious goals all that well (Die by the Sword, Draconus,...um, Max Steele).

Flexivity? Is that one of those Ultimate Warrior words?

Wow, that was fast. I had just heard about this. :(

Hmm, It looked kinda ugly in the trailer, but it seemed to be quite far into development, and they just cancel it? Oh well.

Damn it. This was the closest thing to the driving/horror/Star Wars/hockey game that I am pining for. :p

Wow that was quick. Being a survial horror freak, I was really interested in a fresh idea. Hopefully somebody will clone the idea. Namco? :)

You know this idea can be copied and I hope someone does it.

Pretty dammed stupid to be dumping it this early.

A GTA meets Resident Evil would've been nice... all set in a Dawn of the Dead surburban neighborhood...
