F*uck this! Such an obvious cash cow after they saw the money telltale is making. the walking dead, comic and tv show, is all about the living people and their struggles to survive, not running around killing 100's of zombies trying to get killstreaks.

F*ck off activision!

Did you even read the article?

"Players will control Daryl as they attempt to avoid detection from zombies that hunt using sight, sound and smell and will choose between fighting them or using stealth to avoid detection."

"Supplies will be scarce and players will need to carefully manage food, ammunition and supplies as they make their way through the game. Daryl will encounter “a slew of other characters” along the way that can help or hurt him. Whether or not these characters accompany Daryl is completely up to the player and “represents just some of the major decisions that will constantly be made while fighting to survive."

It doesn't sound like they're going for a typical run and gun style zombie shooter.

Sounds very much like I am Alive.

I enjoyed I am Alive but this doesn't interest me that much. Shameless cash in and I'd prefer not to support Activision.

But I will wait for more info and see what comes of it. If they add a system where you need to build up a survivor shelter then it could be really interesting. Choices could down to using the survivors to get more resources for yourself or spending resources to help them in the hope they would get involved with your community.

Sounds like DayZ minus the fact that most people will just shoot you on sight, rather than even trying to team up!

They should make a game based on the TV show first level is great then 18 boring levels of women doing washing up and moaning then 2 levels of epicness to finish the game.

I haven't read the comics yet but isn't Daryl just in the TV show and never features in the Comics so this is based off season 1 id say.

Orim

Yeah he's not in the comics at all.
