Joseph of GAMElitist.com - "I believe the ultimate reason why so many games now have zombies in them, is because the word “zombie” has become synonymous with the word 'fun'."
Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 4 remake sales are now at over 7 million units, Street Fighter 6 is at 3.3 million and more.
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson stated in a recent EA Earnings Call, that the next Battlefield "it is going to be another tremendous live service.”
Another? ANOTHER?
Is he honestly trying to make out like the last Battlefield was a huge success, not just as a game but as a live service game? I'm sure these guys live in their own echo chambers, they are so far removed from reality or they just like talking out of their arse trying to rewrite history.
Also why say such a tone deaf statement when you know the state of live service games at the minute and how many gamers feel about them. Bigging up the next BF game as live service does not give me any excitement or hype.
This is nothing too new

They had plans of a universe of live service games
Also these studios made 2042 there is no new massive team its the same team

This is all again same news different year but it seems very few remember what happened before covid.
At least they put car freshner trees up their asses to think smelling their own farts smells good at this point to be so out of touch.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
I think Zombies have a really high appeal for people who like the whole post apocalyptic movie/games ect.
Like watching a movie about the end of society and the battles after it is good..... but if you throw zombies in there it becomes a whole different thing... the trouble is most movies/games get it wrong... the original Dawn of the Dead came the closest to getting it right!
Zombies represent the ultimate cannon fodder for a video game. Why bother with trying to justify shooting a Nazi/Russian/Alien/Terrorist/G ov conspirators/robots etc when you can simply put in faceless zombies that require no story. Not to mention zombies allow you to add great variety in weapons in both gun or melee categories.
Yeah, zombies are definitely the "cool" thing this generation.
I think a big reason for Zombies being so popular is the fact that the A.I. fits in with all the bad A.I. that we complain about in other games, such as enemies running directly at you not bothering to take cover.
We get the fun of killing enemies and not complaining when the enemies are dumbed down. Because for the most part Zombies are dumb mindless A.I. characters.
Which funny enough adds to the realism of the character models. (yes, knowing full well that Zombies don't actually exist.) It is so hard to mess up a Zombie enemy.
"Black Ops zombies mode works well because it revolves around zombies. They add to the overall experience. When zombies are just there because people like zombies, there is no point." Really... In Black Ops Zombies had a point for being in the game?
And then the next statement directly after that complains "When zombies are coming to break down the door into your game, developers, just barricade them outside." Isn't that directly what happens in Black Ops, and yet it works for Black Ops and not other games? Why again??
