GamesBeat: Zombies will probably never go away, but at least these games are trying something different with them.
Bohemia Interactive has today revealed DayZ's new premium expansion called "Frostline," which will be out this Q4 2024.
While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.
Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela
They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.
Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.
I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.
Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.
Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.
The Day Before has been a critical failure that led to the studio’s closure.
Despite the numerous delays, in terms of anticipation, DayZ Standalone is still at the top of my list. And yes, as the article briefly touched upon, the zombies are a bigger threat in DayZ Standalone, however, the game is still best served through player-to-player encounters, which are far more frantic and heart pumping than thwarting z-freaks.
Based on the development updates, DayZ looks to bring more balance to player interaction, which in theory will mediate the mod's current, "shoot on site" philosophy.
Pretty solid list of the best zombie games.
How to Survive is definitely interesting, but it makes me want to play Dead Nation and not worry about food and water and all that.
Me want zombies!
I always felt that the best stories to tackle zombies used the actual creatures as a more secondary threat. As a monster, they feel better suited to be a reflection of the worst of humanity than any credible danger.
