Nice

[frogopus]

Good stuff here, and a good interview/introduction for new people.

[Xerosnake90]

Woah woah woah, wait a minute!

Is this a new feature that no one has noticed or am I stupid o.O; Right in the beginning at 16 seconds the screen is all gray and it says RIP for the character. Is it possible that even whilest you're dead you still get to play just so you aren't bored? Has this been discussed or what's going on here cuz this is huge to me.

[basic]

uh not sure what you're smokin (can i have some?) but it says louis is dead, not the character thats playing. the screen is grey because the player is on their last life i believe

and when you're dead i think you spectate until you're "found"? or is that only infected?

[Nemesis_vs_Leon]

Cool. I don't know about still playing after you die.

[TheStrife]

and when you're dead i think you spectate until you're "found"? or is that only infected?


What? Infected respawn after they get killed. Survivours are the only ones that need to be found.

[Deek]

Holy shit. Does that not fire you up?? It's not all new footage, though a lot of it is. And the music is ace.

As for the gray screen/"playing while dead" theory, nope. The screen is gray because the individual playing is on her last leg (it's Zoey, though you can't see her portrait on the left, you can tell by her hands and by her "I'm reloading!"). When the screen goes gray, you're on strike three - if the Infected take you down again, you're dead. The three portraits in the bottom center are your teammates. The RIP is Lewis, of course, because Lewis is fucking dogmeat 9 out of 10 times.

Oh noz! "When it's done" and "2008". We could be in for a long wait, y'all.

oops, tried to string two thoughts into one sentence!

i meant to say do survivor's spectate after they're dead or is that only the infected?

i know infected spectate until the director respawns them, but what do survivors do while they are waiting to be found?

[Deek]

but what do survivors do while they are waiting to be found?
Standard spectator chase cam, if reports are to be believed.

[Graf Irrationale Zahl]

Yepp, you could see it in a few vids before, after knockout no.3 the next causes death and gray vision.

i know infected spectate until the director respawns them
And in the zombieplay video we can see a waiting duration of 30-40 secs (could be more or less depending on the Director I guess).


I also noticed, that there is much more garbage on the floor ... the streets look more dirty.

[Shrubberyjsc]

OMG!

I think the Mods may have already said that there were gas cans for 'spreading around'

BUT! ZOMG! look at 1:10! You can actually pick up the propane canister.

Our hopes of easily barricading may be fulfilled!

[No Shelter]

Cool, helicopter.

[frogopus]

Deek hit the answers dead on.

Yep thats what we meant.

[hooray for zombies]

this was a good video, if they had had this as opposed to miss "oh shit" as the interview, earlier on, I would have been a very happy man

[Shrubberyjsc]

Yep thats what we meant.


Cool, For some reason I thought you meant the cheesy walk-into-it spreading.

Could you elaborate as to how the action is preformed?

Is it like in Zombie Master where it's another 'weapon' that you select, or is it a simple 'use' action?

Can you lift other objects, and is it limited by the weight of the object?

[Sifer2]

Yeah if you can pick up any object you could possibly make barricades. Might be useful if they ever make levels where you just supposed to defend. As for when your dead they probably let survivors watch their team an infected watch the horde or other boss infected still alive.

Other thing I noticed is that rifle fires really fast. If everything dies in one hit except tanks I dunno why you would want the auto shotgun over this thing. Since it can pwn stuff up close or snipe an do it damn fast.

[Deek]

'Cause an auto shotty can hit multiple Infected at once, with a single round of buckshot. With the rifle, it's one shot, one kill. If there's a wall of Infected running at you, you'll put down a few individuals with the rifle before they start clawing at your face (I assume). With a shotgun, you should be quite capable of crowd control, with each blast knocking back several Infected. Though it does take a long time to chamber a new round ... as Francis so effectively demonstrated in a recent vid, no amount of buckshot is gonna save you if you're alone, with your back to the wall.

This is based on logic moreso than any kind of actual gameplay knowledge, mind you.

[darksora2323]

Nice but
WHERES MEH DEMOZ??????

[dontleave]

Cool, but hopefully thay model hands with objects like propane tanks, gasoline, locking doors etc. Floating objects is old school.

Infected Sheriff!!!

[Shrubberyjsc]

I actually don't even care if the objects float. I'm just happy they included it. If they do model hands, all the better.

[frogopus]

Deek thats a few reasons, the other major difference is that the hunting rifle demands that you stay still. Shotgun is accurate on the run.

Semprini

[Shrubberyjsc]

Semprini

As in the Monty Python sketch?

=D

Or just some weird reference to the Pianist?

[Graf Irrationale Zahl]

The BBC would like to apologize for the poor quality of the writing in that sketch.
It is not BBC policy to get easy laughs with words like bum, knickers, botty or wee-wees.

These are the words that are not to be used again on this programme:

B*M
B*TTY
P*X
KN*CKERS
W**-W**

That would be logical. But it doesn't look like the Shotgun is killing whole waves at once in the vids we have seen. I doubt the auto shotgun would either. Right now it looks like these weapons were ripped out of a more sim style game where they function real similar to their real life versions. An im not sure that's going to make for as good of gameplay for this style of game.

[TamAlthor]

Man I freekin' love this vid, is it just me or does the game play look more clean, clear, and crisp than all the other game play vids? There was really great contrast and a I could see the environments and characters so much better. I can't wait for this one to come out

[USS_Stud]

They were 'direct feeds' man..

[Deek]

But it doesn't look like the Shotgun is killing whole waves at once in the vids we have seen.
Well, no weapon should kill entire waves. I have seen the vids where the shotgun hits two or three Infected at once, but even that's not gonna hold back 20-30. Anyone facing the horde on their own, regardless of their weapon, should be a lost cause if there's no where to run. As Frog has pointed out, the shotty is also accurate on the move, while the rifle is not. That alone makes me choose the shotgun over the rifle.

But that's just me. =)
