The above is a six-ish minute clip of the upcoming Left 4 Dead, and despite seemingly lifting the game's title from a non-existent DMX film (co-starring Sisqo and Ernie Reyes Jr.), the game looks awesome. I've always had a thing for zombies that stopped just short of being sexually aroused by corpses, but if the developers toss in a hidden 'Shark vs Zombie' level, I might have to reconsider that stance.
[Thanks, again, to TheGoldenDonut, whose clip I didn't use purely out of spite]
Speaking as someone who's been bit by a shark (I grew up in Hawaii), that zombie gnawing on the shark's flesh has always served as sort of my revenge fantasy.
Pardon me for posting one-handed, but I believe it to be fully warranted.
My only critique from what I've seen are those little Nooks 'o' Infinite Guns that seem to be around every corner there... That and Fast Zombies, but that's an issue of personal taste.
I'm really excited about this, looks tight. I'm curious to see what communication is like between your team, one of the biggest flaws of Resident Evil: Outbreak. Then again, not much of a fair comparison. Anyhow I'm stoked this should be off the wall.
Stopped just short of being sexually aroused by corpses?
You've obviously never seen zombie-porn "Re-Penetrator"
Zombie v. Shark will go down in history as one of my top 3 favorite zombie moments ever. Zombie is an instant classic.
The movie "Vampires vs. Zombies", however, is a must miss. Absolutely horrid, and hardly any zombies at all.
is it good ol' me or isn't kinda suspense ruining by the fast movement of everything (especially yourself the player) .. it's like on 'fast mode' or something.
it's like christmas/halloween all rolled into one. also, in Fulci's "Zombi," shark scene is fantastic, but let's not forget when that one chick gets the shard of wood stabbed through her eye by another zombie...fucking great! this game will own!

First I've heard of this game was around January of this year. I hope they don't push it back for several months to a year (see: HL2)
That game is fantastic! I went and downloaded/played it right after you linked it. A LOT of fun. I love being the zombie master.
DO FUCKING WANT!!
Even Lucio Fulci couldn't withstand it.
