Zombie MMO

While searching around some zombie sites I came across a link to an in-development MMO called: Z Day.

Originally Posted by Z Day About

Z Day is an Online 3D FPS Zombie Survival game (also known as a "MMOFPS"). You and every other player is placed into a city overrun by the infected aka zombies. The infected can run, faster than you can meaning you alone, are no match for the strong, fast infected.

You will be able to barricade doors in order to stop, or at least try and stop the infected from getting you and your buddies. But be aware that the infected can break through the barricade, and destroy the door.

You must also eat and watch your strength levels, if you carry too much, you will move slowly. So leaving things behind in your safe house is essential. You will be able to drop weapons and items anywhere meaning you can store them in your chosen spot.

If you do not eat, you will become very weak and slow and start to die. If you happen to get infected, your blood will begin to turn black and you will also get slow and weak from the virus. You must find an anti-virus to cure the infection, before it's too late.

You will be able to choose from either a Police Officer or a Civilian. As a police officer, you will start with a Baton and a firearm. As a civilian, you will start with only a baseball bat, but will be able to carry more items than the police. So you will want a balance between the two for supply runs.

Use your survival instincts, build a survivors' base, form a search party to go out on supply runs for food, wood, anti-viruses, weapons, more survivors etc. Gather up, meet friends and work together for survival...Teamwork is a must...

Do you like the idea of a zombie survival game? Online? Z Day is exactly that, and more!

They added a teaser video of one of the cities:

By watching the video it reminds me (look wise) of Portal 2. Now thats nothing 'next-gen' but if it's an MMO, filled with Zombies, I'm defiantly game!

This game does look promising indeed. I like its potential and I'm usually a rabid anti-MMORPG person.
I can't wait to see how the actual gameplay handles.

It doesn't look much though does it? I mean, it's not the best looking thing out there. I'd expected better.

DISCLAIMER: THIS DOES NOT REFLECT THE FINAL PRODUCT

I won't likely play it more than a little as, like I said, I'm very against MMORPG games.

It is a WIP and I think (as I've yet to do any concrete research) it's being developed by amateur game developers, so you can't really expect anything. This isn't Valve working on this.

I'm very against MMORPG games

Well it isn't an MMORPG, it's an MMOFPS. Meaning instead of map objectives there is just one large map/world and the objective is to survive.

This isn't going to be a game about graphics. It's going to be a game about Zombies and trying to survive a zombie infestation without maps, missions, etc, just one world (or city more like). I guess you can say it's like a simulator for what it would be like if your city was under a zombie infestation and you had to survive. Thats it's purpose.

Games like Left 4 Dead will require map changes, loading of new maps, different game types, etc. This game has one purpose. Survive in a massive environment (large city no doubt) from the zombie infestation. You can block doors, group up and survive with other players, etc. I'm really hoping these guys get this game finished and up and running. Definitely want to check this out.

Don't get me wrong, the idea sounds incredible. Remember we were discussing an IaL game once? It was a similar format. I'm an oldie. By no means to graphics = great games. I guess I've just been spoilt recently. Looking forward to trying it out.

Oh God... Its Oblivion all over again!
Should at least be better than Oblivion though cause it has Zombies

I had an idea like this once...

"My Next game Idea is also a MMO TPS where you wake up after a zombie holocaust / Armageddon where you realize that and form of order is gone and anarchy in the streets you must team up with other players in order to forum new towns, cities, or bases in order to survive. as you base grows larger it will attract more zombies too it because the larger concentration of human flesh! You may also want to beef up your defense in order to stop another guild from raiding your town and stealing your resources. When the server starts you will be able to scavenge for most of your material but over time they will start to run out."

thought it be cool on xbox live personally.

I probably won't be playing this game when it comes out.

That's the only problem I see... Unless you're going to have a server restart after X amount of time people are going to get pissed off that there isn't any stuff any more.
