What is your personal opinion on Zombiu from you have have seen/heard about it? I believe it looks very promising and has massive potential but it could be a fail. The game looks to be too linear and I think the melee animations are really sloppy. Like when you swing the cricket bat it does the exact same slow animation over and over again. I don't want to overanalyze and critique every little thing but I've been really wanting to know what others think about it and its potential. So what does everybody think?
I wouldn't say it's linear too much. The games supposed to have random scares and little events so that the games never the same, and there will be branching or multiple paths to get to where you are going and even alternate shortcuts and such to discover like sewer systems. I think the single player looks solid I wish there was some implementation of coop or more multiplayer modes like a straight survival mode with one zombie spawner and like 7 survivors. They are already in the talks of a possible second game which if this one is good, they plan on adding more multi and improving.
I have it pre-ordered and mostly paid off but I'm with you on the length...if it's not at least 10 hours I'll put my money toward Rayman Legends instead. It's not that I don't think it'll be fun, but if there's no replay value and it's short, I'll wait until it's $30 or so. NSMBU and Nintendo Land will keep me busy, and there's Lego City, Wonderful 101, Monster Hunter and Bayonetta right on the horizon.
The developers said they added more to the game since earlier on, and it's about 15 hours long maybe a couple more or less depending on your playing style. There will be multiple paths and secrets and shorcuts to get around the missions so there is replay ability with variety. Plus the zombies and items and scare moments are supposed to be randomated
