A downloadable, open-world zombie apocalypse game? Make a full retail game, please. It's the only way to do this justice.
Fuck me, as a PS3 owner me and my friends always thought about the idea of making a Zombie MMO JUST like this. Sigh, maybe I'll get lucky and it will be on PC too at least.
Wait a minute... open world =/= MMO. Both are stated as being the genre for the game in question. Is it both or is it one more so than the other? inquiring minds would like to know.
I love zombies and all but I'll admit it's getting a little stale. However this games sounds interesting. Me and my friends talked up the perfect zombie game once and it was an open world zombie apocalypse, multiplayer, with a huge map. Sounds similar to this, I'm hoping it'll live up to my, well, hopes.
What B-Rad said.
Either way, I'm very interested! Zombies are pretty much up there with Aliens and werewolves now. They're a thing, not a fad.

SO many games use the MMO moniker nowadays when they are NOT an MMO. APB is the best example. Putting 50 people maximum in a server does not make it "Massive": it's an open world action game. World at War PC can have 32 on 32 combat - is that an MMO? Is Diablo II an MMO?
An MMO is something like World of Warcraft, Ultima, and Warhammer: something that doesn't have you "meet up" with people in hub worlds (a la Phantasy Star Online and Guild Wars 1) to get to smaller instances.
That said, I seriously doubt this would be an MMO, given that it's on the Xbox Live Arcade. If I had to guess, it would be 10 people to a game (max), and you have some sort of pseudo level up system in a town about a fourth the size of Liberty City.

Sounds good so far, but only time will tell if this just becomes another title in the pile of zombie mmos that never got past the pre dev phase.
Definitely a game idea a friend and I have been discussing ever since Dead Rising came out. I hope this does well.
"Survivors will be forced to find a settlement, fortify the area from undead attacks, as well as venture out into the world for supplies and to rescue other survivors."
I swear, I left that exact statement as a comment somewhere on Dtoid as my dream game. This sounds amazing in concept, I just hope that they pull it off well. I'm never going to be tired of zombies, I don't care.

This sounds good in writing, but I feel a little skeptical. Most game that try to revolutionize something tend to fall short at first.
Sounds interesting. If it turns out well then I hope it comes to PC at some point, but I'm not too worried if it doesn't because we'll still be getting Dead State, hopefully some time this year.

"Undead Labs has announced today that it has partnered with Microsoft..."
Apparently Microsoft seems to think so.

Wasn't some game like this announced several months back for something? Dear god, I can't remember o_o
Hah, I thought so.

This sounds like my answer to the question: If you could have/make any game, what kind of game would it be.
Schweeeeeeet!
(it seems I'm not the only one, why has this not been done sooner?)

open world + ZOMBIES + fortification/tactics + scavenging for weaponry/items = day one purchase for me.
Even though it's not top down, it sounds alot like Urban Dead. I was huge into that game 6 years ago.

You had me at "Open-world zombie survival game"
As others have stated, this is like yet another dream come true for this kid that was raised on Romero's classics! If they're promising "fast cars" let's hope the map is sizeable to allow us room to have fun. Having to fortify areas sounds promising as you'll likely have to defend against the zombie hordes? The crescendo events in the L4D series were OUTSTANDING and I hope Undead Labs can take it to the next level!
GO UNDEAD LABS!!
Can't wait can't wait can't wait!

@Char
Ditto to that.
Anyway, sounds interesting, but whether it will be better than Dead State should prove interesting. Damn, I'll play both, twice the zombie action. I just hope MS doesn't do a half hearted effort with it.

@Vallanthaz:
Apparently you didn't read where they teamed up with MS and the game is for XBLA. I hope MS is smart and keeps it 360 only so fanboys like you who always troll will rage and be upset. It'll be soo worth it <3

Do...do you smell that in the air? It's the smell of excitement. On closer inspection, I'm secreting that smell.
This is the exact same game I've been Saying should exist for years. FIRST they steal my idea, THEN they develope it for a console I don't own. No justice.
yes deity of anime, you are the first person ever who have said an open world zombie game should exist, never in the whole of the internets have I heard this suggestion before now. You should sue!
