• I guess what it comes down to was that I interpreted the above comments a bit differently from you. Within the context of the rest of what was said, it seemed to me that what kein was saying was basically a want for people to inherently have the "lines of decency" in their minds when creating art, rather than imposing them on people, but perhaps that's simply my rosy-colored glasses perspective. As far as the bereft of decency comment, I feel like it's an error to lump together into one group a bunch of people saying that someone's concerns are unfounded and irrational along with a person being supremely disrespectful and essentially saying that kein is an idiot for having an opinion different from theirs and because kein's opinion is a more conservative one that it A) is inherently wrong because kein can't or doesn't want to distinguish reality from fiction and B) that kein's statement of their own ideals is simply a gesture to demonstrate a moral superiority. While a great many people might disagree with kein's opinion, a reasonable person wouldn't be so crass unless they were trying to fuel the fire, which is decidedly an act bereft of decency. All this being said, I could be completely wrong. Kein might be saying these things for the exact reasons that others have said. But because I can see a line of rationale that seems to stem through kein's comments, I'm more inclined to give the benefit of the doubt. As it is, it's nice that someone else can be level-headed about it too... I had been half-tempted not to post my initial response because I expected to get harangued for it.

• Sorry, but Zombie trumps everything. I do not care who or what it is or how much you love it, if it is bitten by a zombie you KILL IT! If my cats were bitten by zombies I would kill them without thinking. Sure, I would cry while doing it, but they would be dead. In short, dude should have left the girl in the hallway!

• I think that this trailer is all the more powerful because of its MEMENTO-style structure. I was unsure of how it would play out until almost the end, and then I was dreading what I would see. No minors for this game. Based on the content and presentation, if kids played this, I bet the suicide rate would double.

• Effective, but the really awkward-moving character models are distracting and almost comical.

• Nope. Not even Benny Hill can stop the sadness this time. Unbelievably well done.

• "Until your a Parent you have dark glasses on" This is one of the most incomprehensibly stupid statements I have ever encountered in my entire sixteen or so year online experience. And for reference, I hang out on /b/ occasionally as well as read Yahoo! Answers and Youtube comments.

• The above comment is from me, I forgot to add my name.

• My wife and I have two year old identical twin daughters, and back before I had kids I HATED every self-righteous father who goes "well you wouldn't understand or feel this way unless you had a child blah blah" and to some extent I do. But man! I showed this clip to her and we were both practically sobbing at the end. I think this ranks up with "Jurassic Bark" in it's sheer emotional devastation.

• "There should be some lines of decency" "that is just too much and a line should be drawn" I don't know about you, but to me, those statements advocate censorship. "People like you are so desensitized you cannot even distinguish any form of decency." And while this doesn't advocate censorship, it's a far cry from just, "this is my perspective, and until you have experienced what I have, you know nothing of it", like what you gathered. Sure, the guy he was talking to called him a "pussy", but the comment is directed at "people like" him. That includes me and lots of other people, and some might be offended by it. It's cool you're being the level headed moderate, all comment sections need one. But, I felt you were missing something.

• Ummm...so did she died?

• I thought the CGI looked good. It's not something I have the ability (or the patience) to do. The trailer got it's point across, though. That's what's important. But, then again, I'm not very picky.

• Exactly. The one moment where you are at the edge of devastation. I want this game to hurt emotionally I want it devastating. I want it to make me feel like I just went through an ordeal gasping for air. I would love the sentiment for the characters in a similar vein to what Team Ico has accomplished with their games.

• I feel as though I need to point out that the mere fact that kien has gone on this crusade about the trailer is more a testament to the strength of the trailer as art than anything else. I have a daughter, and the fact that I do gives me the ability to appreciate the art of the trailer on a level that is deeply personal. I also find it interesting that everyone keeps demonizing kien for a completely reasonable reaction, equating the statement of an opinion as censorship. While the act of procreating grants no special morality, it's foolish to say that having a child grants no special perspective. When the human brain is hardwired to create in unfathomable emotional connection to one's offspring, the idea of it not granting a perspective different from one without that switch in their brain toggled, simply because it makes one of the default reactions to anything "What if that happened to my child," which is a thought with significantly different meaning to someone when their child is a living, breathing child, and not a construct created in one's imagination at times deemed appropriate. While I personally don't agree with kien's opinion, I'm not going to start throwing around words like censorship when all kien has said is "this is my perspective, and until you have experienced what I have, you know nothing of it" Nowhere does kien say that you should have that opinion, or that the game shouldn't come out, or any of the multitude of things that actual censors do. As far as I can tell, ridiculing someone simply for having a certain opinion and implying that their perspective is without merit solely on the strength of the fact that you do not share that perspective is a lot closer to McCarthyan book-burning that having any given opinion. As far as I can tell, a person has a right to give their perspective and become offended by thigns, however unreasonable they might seem. What people don't have a right to do is to make others conform to their way of thinking. And for the record, I loved the video, but the fact that everyone is jumping on the bandwagon to slander someone just for having a different opinion is asinine. I might not agree with kien's opinion, but I'm not going to deny their right to have that opinion, however wrong I think it may be. /rant

• I'm a parent of a 4-year-old girl, and that video hit me hard because of the focus on the girl. Does that make the video tasteless or horrible? No- that's what makes it effective. For horror to work, it's got to hit you on a primal level, and this video did that. Any game in this genre (heck 90% of video games, period) will feature people getting killed in some way or another. To suddenly proclaim that it's wrong to show a young child is foolish. It's just a way to make the horror more real. And learn to separate reality from fantasy- that's not a real girl being thrown out a window, it's not even an actress playing a girl being thrown out a window. It's just a bunch of bytes being manipulated (and quite effectively, too).

• If I might interject a bit: I don't think what's so powerful here is the cutting/slo-mo/reverse-chron <i>per se</i>. What really devastated me was the way the scenes were cut and edited to focus the narrative at a moment of transition distinctly different from the endpoints of the narrative arc. The point isn't that the daughter died, or that the family was going on what they thought would be a nice tropical vacation. The point (again, for me), was the moment when the father looks into his daughter's eyes, and tries to tell her that everything's okay, that he's rescuing her; that he takes her up in his arms (like dads do), and carries her away. The kick in the stomach is that the daughter (at this point) is already lost, and just doesn't know it yet (nor the parents). The entire arc of the promo points towards that moment, and that's what made it so devastating (for me). As others have pointed out, losing your kids (or worse, having to shoot them yourself) is one of the worst (and less-examined) parts of a zombie apocalypse. Shit. Now I'm crying again. <i>Dammit</i>, Rob!

• Gimmick or not, that was a great emotional buildup.

• Hm, okay, your point has been taken. However, you can't deny that there was some serious considerations placed when putting the promo cutscene together, if I'm going by the initial effect it had on me personally. It might be using the ol' trusty "death of a child to make it more poignant" trick, along with a bunch of others you have mentioned, but there is no doubt that I connected with all of the 'principal characters' in a span of 3 minutes and 8 seconds. And they could have been no more than one of the 'zombie bait' characters, but for 3 short minutes, they were 'real', which I think is part of the reason why that bitchfight in the earlier comments happened up there. From a cinematic standpoint, that's a major triumph. Making somebody care about three zombie fodders over a span of 3 minutes? "Schindler's List" needs an entire 195 minutes to do that for me, and even then only the last 35 minutes that really did it. I ask you then, is it truly unforgivable for them to reach such an effect that they try really hard to provoke a reaction from us nerds by taking elements from things we already love? Because I think no. No it's not.

• But my point is that I don't think it's well done. It's trying really hard to provoke a reaction from the nerds by taking elements from things they already love. It's cheap and hollow, and no, I don't even think it's made well. I mean, check this - it starts with her eye, implying that the scene is going to be from her perspective, and it does follow her for a good chunk of it. But when she's running down the hallway, the camera's chasing her as if one of the zombies. Well that kind of undercuts that sorrowful emotional reaction they're going for, doesn't it? Suddenly the viewer's being made to see the scene from the zombies' perspective for no reason, when that segment demands the shot they eventually do use of her running towards the camera pursued by the mob. Wow, it's almost like a bunch of computer programmers don't know cinematic visual language and just copied things they saw in zombie movies without wondering why it's done that way. And I prefer "good artists copy, great artists steal," myself. Or if you want to draw that out more, T.S. Eliot said "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different." The elements these guys are taking are undisguised, and not altered in any interesting or meaningful way.

• Maybe the high chap is dead inside?

• So? It's still a well done and beautiful cut scene. I could give you the tired reasoning of "there's nothing that is truly original" or "the greatest form of compliment is copying", but I'll spare you the lecture.

• I agree with you. Part of the reason why the Video Game industry is easy target is because of its fairly new concept of interactivity. As a result, you got old fossils in the Senate who firmly believes that if a kid blows the brains of a grandma in game, he has the predisposition to blow the head of the same grandma in real life. Not an entirely wrong stance, but taken to wrong extremes.

• That was insanely well done trailer. Hopefully the game will be good.

• Getting attacked by someone who's high on tetrodotoxin isn't nearly as terrifying as being eaten alive by the dead.

• The only reason this didn't COMPLETELY wreck my shit was because I'm already dead inside.

• Yes! My thoughts exactly!

• Eh, so they stole part of the opening of the Dawn of the Dead remake and filtered it through some cheap slo-mo tricks and cheesy music to make the Lost fans feel THE WEIGHT OF IT ALL. Then they spliced up the chronology to appeal to the Nolanoids. Seriously, guys. You know those Plinkett reviews of the Star Wars prequels where he takes pains to show how Lucas included disparate elements to capture every possible segment of the viewership? Narrow that down to just trying to capture every possible segment of the nerd audience, and that is this trailer. You're being played by hacks.

• I...I can't do it. I barely watched half of the trailer and felt sick to my stomach. Jesus...I guess this is one of those moments that is possible to happen during a Zombie Apocalypse, but neither movies nor games have the guts to tackle so far. I mean, I've blasted evil mutant babies and zombie kids at one time in my gaming virtual life before, but to see an innocent kid getting "turned", it's...God! It's just...

• Yep. My shit is officially wrecked. I can't play this game. I just...no. I see enough tragedy on the news. *shuffles into a corner to sob quietly*

• Since most of the emotional anguish has been taken care of above, allow me to point out that I now know nothing more about this game than I did before I watched this trailer.

• The trailer was exceptionally well thought out but poorly implemented. That CGI was hideous. It does not belong in the year 2011. Even with that, I was interested in it as soon as it was uncanceled (lol suspended the development).

• This is essentially what I wanted to say, but you managed to (a) beat me to it and (b) put it better than I could have. I would like to buy you a beverage of your choice.

• Shit = wrecked due to uncanny valley.

• Well, that was depressing :|

• Now you're just reminding me of children of the living dead. Where, damn it, zombies did have a 'no killing kids' rule. It's a pretty notable accomplishment to be the most annoying aspect of that particular cinematic turd.

• "While a child may never turn into a zombie children have been killed in unspeakable acts of violence, a parents worst nightmare." Nightmarish, I know. It's almost like this horror game was created to weave a horror story that evoked horror! Insanity!

• i think i love you...

• win that one? you passively aggressively provoked people and someone got angry at you? Yeah. you won. You won in trolling. Btw, I'm a father, got a little girl actually. found the video devastating but also liked it in the same way I like zombie movies.

• It doesn't have to be an either or. You're a parent and you're uptight. What I think you need to learn is that the world doesn't revolve around you just because you performed a basic biological function. Yes, being a parent changes everything. And it tends to make one an uptight prude. Guess what, a lot of us don't want to have kids specifically because of that. We know that if we did, it'd mean giving up a lot of things we enjoy now. Because that's the responsibility of a good parent. That's the important part, 'you' giving something up. Not trying to force those who haven't entered into your circumstances to do so.

• contd. (sorry, got goin and couldn't stop in time :P ) so where was I? oh yeah...Stay the fuck away from our zombies! They prolly wouldn't wanna eat you anyways, and oh yeah, IT ISN'T REAL!!!! ugh

• Roll 'em up!

• Of course I was thinking of the children. I always aim for them first.

• FOR GODS SAKE WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!? Highly ironic that you say you "mean no disrespect" - it's pretty clear from your tone you think you're more enlightened than anyone who isn't a parent. You know what offends me? People who think that procreating gives them any kind of moral superiority or special perspective. You are advocating wholesale censorship of artistic expression simply because *you* can't handle it, which makes you no different than the average book-burning McCarthyite. I really hope for your kid's sake you learn some perspective. In the long run, overprotectiveness has exactly the opposite effect than what you intend.

• (And to clarify this is directed to all the activists against the cruel treatment of animated children) Do you still enjoy zombie movies and games knowing full well that like 95% of the worlds population is dead? Think about alllllll those children that have died, millions upon millions, yet you still continue to hack and slash your way through the undead horde, or sip yer soda and munch yer popcorn. To still enjoy a game or movie knowing that all of these children were brutally killed is pretty sick on your part in my own mind. If you can't even stand to see one kid get bitten and turned into one of them (they are zombies! thats what they do! they, unlike living people, don't descriminate! If it moves it's lunch!) It's like those damn PETA people that bitch about how eating meat and wearing their flesh is wrong, but they'll wear belts and shoes that resemble leather! (Penn and Tellers "Bullshit", seriously go watch it) Eat tofu dogs that taste like chicken! Friggin hypocrites! Don't enjoy things that yer against... eat yer frickin granola, wear yer frickin shoes made of hemp, and stay the fuck away from my (and zombie lovers everwhere <3) zombies! They prolly wouldn't even wanna eat you anyways... and oh yeah, IT'S ALL FAKE!!!

• should we go back to the real real zombies where they are just people on drugs that make them easily manipulated? seriously this "real zombie" thing is ridiculous. fast, slow, created by magic or science or nature. I really don't care. if every zombie movie followed the same precise definition there would be a lot less variety in the movies.

• The thing is, sometimes the facial expressions were on point and gut-wrenchingly lifelike. But others had that horrible divide... my guess is that while the staging and music really grabbed a hold of your heart and shook it in your chest, the slo-mo might not have been as favorable.

• too bad Lost never pulled it off as beautifully (especially final episode... ugh)

• um, the woman with the knife went down at 1:04 so at least you'll have about 12 seconds of readiness, so I think the zombies will be ready for you :P

• I get it. You "as a parent" don't like to see scenes of children being killed. What you're asking is for everyone to ignore reality because you, as a parent are uncomfortable with it. I may not have kids but I know what it feels to lose someone close to me. I lost my kid brother in 2007 and it still haunts me but I don't get offended everytime a kid dies on TV, movies or video games. Why? Because these things happen! Whether we like it or not, that's life! Now if the clip was about a little kid locked in a room full of zombies or if she was torn to pieces just for shock value, with no clear emotional investment in the character, then I would be offended. I would be more offended if the zombies ignored the little girl and just killed her parents because then the realism of the piece would have been compromised. Zombies don't have a "no kids" rule, they're zombies! In context, I think it was well done and a good example of how entertainment can touch you on a deeper level when done right, because that's what entertainment strives for. I mean, this trailer has made us care about the characters and we know nothing other than they suffered a brutal zombie attack. To the developers, well done.

• also, like Hobbcore said the whole zombie genre is all about the beauty in the sorrow. It's art, like it or not.

• Tourists. Always driving in the bus lane and getting themselves trapped in the Zombie part of town...

• I am not desensitized in the least, I'm just able to make the distinction that THAT LITTLE GIRL ISN'T REALLY DYING. If there really were some sort of zombie apocalypse believe me, I'd throw myself between ANY child and a zombie to give them a fighting chance. You're just trying to make yourself feel like the uber-parent: "oh, thats so vile and disturbing, nobody should ever depict actions of violence against children!" thats fucking bullshit get over yourself. Yeah, we get it you love your kid. Let those who enjoy this kind of thing do so without trying to make us feel guilty. All I'm saying.

• Of course I meant to write "grow" not "groe", I haven't yet gone full retard

• Personally I found Finding Nemo to be more upsetting as a dad First time I watched it (before kid was born) I totally bought into the whole,"hey let your kids groe up, Nemo's dad's being overprotective" theme of the film Saw it when my kid was a year old and totally changed my opinion, I was like, Fuck that man, Nemo's a brat, his dad was 100% correct to try and keep him on the reef. Fucking danger everywhere, little bastard only stays alive by sheer luck. What I'm saying is, Nemo's dad learned the wrong lesson IMHO I also made the mistake of reading The Road when my kid was about a month old- worst decision ever! So this video is no big deal to me

• Well I AM a parent and you ARE being uptight It's supposed to be horrific, that's why they call it horror. It's clear by the way you bring in mention of child soldiers, real world violence etc (none of which have anything to do with this game or horror in general) that you are a fan of neither horror or violent movies - that's fine but please don't get all self-righteous with those who are

• right, of course it's an emotional struggle of survival for those who used to have a happy live, just like what every single character experienced in every single zombie fictions. You only cared this time because someone made a good animation. seriously, fuck zombie games.

• Love the name calling, nice. It did not take long to win that one. You have no kids and are probably young. While a child may never turn into a zombie children have been killed in unspeakable acts of violence, a parents worst nightmare. To see it glorified for the sake of a dumb Zombie game is vile. If it was adults even teens I would not comment but a young girl it's sick and your comment speaks volumes about you. People like you are so desensitized you cannot even distinguish any form of decency. I like zombies like everyone else but when you mess with children there is no excuse.

• Well, that is an incredible trailer. Unfortunately, it is attached to YET ANOTHER ZOMBIE GAME! YAWN! Also, I highly doubt gameplay looks like this in any way. YouTube: The New bullshotting for the industry...

• WAHOO did she ever get some distance on that seven story face-plant! Hey... get out of the shot ya gal durned Buddhist Monk, the Vietnam War's been over for decades! ...kidding, kidding... that really stunned me. I'm watching it over and over again to hear the music... no idea what the game will be like or if it will be any good, but that's quite possibly the best videogame trailer I've ever seen.

• Just got back from showing this to a class of 20 folks, as it regarded a discussion on visualization. 20 folks who were speechless by the end (but we still got a really good discussion when comparing this to the chronological version). For me, the "gimmicks" of slo-mo and reverse footage are interesting, but ultimately not what left me emotionally attached/"destroyed" with the video. It's the non-linear storytelling element, and the part of my brain that kept waiting for the next piece of the puzzle so I could see the bigger picture (the whole family). Yeah, we've seen little kid zombies before (Walking Dead opening, DOTD and its remake), so that part didn't affect me...it was when the video/my brain brought it all together that this was once a family, even before we see them together at the very end. I don't have kids yet, but I too have wondered, "Zombies aren't real, but what ifffff that happened, and my kid became corpsified. What type of wreck would I be?"

• Right? We're all supposed to feel GUILTY for enjoying this because mr self righteous has kids and can't distinguish between fiction and reality. Nevermind the face that zombies are SUPPOSED TO INSPIRE HORROR.

• This video brought to you by Planned Parenthood.

• Just because you find it offensive, does not mean it's commonplace. I am 100% sure that if I had kids, I'd be able to watch a movie with child violence because I have the power to separate reality from fiction.

• Just because you find it offensive, does not mean it's commonplace. I am 100% sure that if I had kids, I'd be able to watch a movie with child violence because I have the power to separate reality from fiction.

• The Walking Dead's done more soul-crushing things, but still... Fuckin' hell, man.

• For once I think some of us geeks aren't being cynical enough. This trailer, while well made, animated etc. Is just manipulative and frankly a rip off of LOST. I mean it even has the pan out from a close up of an eye. And somber piano music. I'm sorry but anyone will feel sad if you show a dead kid, and then at the end show scenes when the family is happy and together. This trailer isn't groundbreaking. If this was a movie trailer we'd be making fun of it.

• Man... I held it together till the end. When they showed the happy family taking a portrait bam! waterworks. A video game has made me cry.

• you're being a pussy, zombies aren't real and your kid will never become one. Let us horror fans enjoy without trying to spew your self righteousness at all of us.

• Fantastic...and this from the crotchety, old-school gamer who thinks cut-scenes are the worst thing that ever happened to video games!XD Also reminded me of an old stand-up bit (can't remember the comedian's name): "If you can't handle horror movies, just watch them in reverse: 'Jaws' becomes a film about a shark that keeps throwing up people until they open a beach!"

• You're the first person in this thread to make any sense, and I don't even have any kids. I also found it offensive, especially when I remember that RL kids in far off countries are being used as soldiers, or even kids in my own city being abused or killed. This vid just pisses me off, and I won't make any apologies for that.

• Agreed, aharris. The trailer was well done, but some of the reactions to it are a little over the top IMO. If you're a game company that wants to make a big splash with your announcement trailer, you up the shock value present in it. Using the little girl like they did may not have been the classy route, but it sure got people's attention. The zombies catching some people (of all ages) and then those people either being devoured or turning into zombies themselves is a pretty routine way for things to go. Not exactly a surprise twist. The images used in the trailer paint a pretty bleak picture, that's for sure. But if you didn't like the content, and had such a strong reaction to it... just don't buy the game.

• My shit, it did just wreck.

• That was amazing it's easily up there with the best game trailers I've ever seen and somehow it get better with each viewing. This was the first time I've seen the long version and I'll admit I teared up a little this time, shit has been wrecked.

• Fuck balls

• Until your a Parent you have dark glasses on, I mean no disrespect by that but until you have kids nothing I say will convince you otherwise. By saying it crosses a line there comes a point where violent scenes like a little girl being chased and savaged by zombies, saved by her father, dying in a room as the parents fend for their lives, comes back to life to attack her father with her mother in horror, then gets thrown out of a window is overkill. Even if its for a video game trailer More and more the flood of violence cheapens life. When it involves a child being the victim of the violence you cross a line. Sorry but that is just too much and a line should be drawn. I do not care how artistically well done it was it was disgusting and truly disturbing. Families have had their children taken away through violence so does violence against a child need to be glorified for shock value, even for a video game?

• I'm wrecked.

• I'm a dad too, I need to wash my soul now, I want never to have seen this

• Even as a new mom, I guess I've seen the little kid zombie gotcha moment too many times to be horribly devastated. The trailor was pretty well done though. Still when the models moved slowly, I felt like I was watching The Sims 3 + Zombies.

• BTW Edited in order http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UPWjb4-PQlk

• The dad kinda looks like Edward Norton... I would totally watch a movie E.N zombie movie!

• It is beautiful and very cinematic. I hope the game play doesn't suck.

• it means your reading them in tpb?

• Also it plays it in chronological order, which I found easier to follow. All in all though, it's an effective trailer.

• I believe the shit wrecking isn't meant to be the camera work gimicky or not. (really it wasn't that hard to follow once figure what it's doing.) It's more to do with the happy family vacation and smiling little girl suddenly chewing her dads neck after they risked (and at least dad) payed in blood to try and save their kid. The sad reality always skipped in zombie movies, zombie little children. They'll be the first to go and likely kill more than their adult breathern in terms of inner family attacks (least likely to say there were bitten and the heart wrenching suicide inducing feeling of blasting your little girl with a shotgun)

• Yeah, that was pretty depressing. Story-wise it really did screw my day up, but I have to say the uncanny valley issue was WAY noticeable in this one. I wonder if it has anything to do with the more emotions you are engaged with (music and all) the more you notice how odd the people look/animate.

• Yeah, the opening pull away from the eyeball, and someone getting thrown through a window to a grassy lawn with palm trees? Seen both of those before. And that's not a bad thing.

• I don't see how the video crosses any lines of decency, though I don't have a kid, so I'll grant you that much. I'm assuming you object to the kid being reanimated and attacking her father, yes? If so... well, that was sorta the point, and zombie media are filled with examples of loved ones coming back as zombies and the living having to deal with the repercussions of that (I can think of a scene in The Walking Dead and two in Shaun of the Dead right off the bat). In this sense, the trailer isn't breaking new ground. It's just doing so with a greater emphasis on the sadness of that loss than the situation usually sees. I think that's more respectful than indecent.

• Let's hope the game reviews well.

• Horrible. Sorry but as a parent this is too far and too much even for a zombie game. Unless you are one you will not understand and just call me uptight, if you do become one your views will change. There should be some lines of decency and it just seems there are none anymore. that's my main and moral point. I can say from a creative standpoint this trailer very well done and very interesting from the perspective they showed.

• Impressive trailer I will not lie. But Zombie burnout being what it is I'll probably pass on the game itself unless it brings something innovative and enjoyable to the table in terms of game play.

• Sorry, I guess it just takes a little more than slow-mo and reversed film to "emotionally devastate" me. And yes, it is a fairly common gimmick. Maybe not one everyone uses, but far from innovative.

• Fuck.

• Slow moving Zombies are the real zombies. Those stupid fast running zombies are bs, Dead Rising, and Dead Rising 2 are clearly the best zombie game in all creation.

• Seconded on the Lost vibes. Fuck, great stuff there! Very emotionally charged.

• Yup. Getting it.

• Yup, it had no right to have that much emotional impact. Fantastic, fantastic trailer.

• I hate zombie games and movies, but holy crap was this scary and traumatizing at the same time. Now I'm going to cry and hide from zombies.

• Dude!. Yes! That was exactly what I was going to post. I have a little girl, and I had to get up and walked around until the goosebumps went away. It also didn't help that I just read Walking Dead issues 45-54 last night. If you're a fan, you know what that means.

• Wow. That was quite possibly the best video game trailer/ short film that I have EVER SEEN. I feel kind of bad for wanting to play the game because the trailer is so emotionally charged. Just goes to show what some good writing and great music and design can do.

• Cheap gimmick? Because it's so common and so overdone? Whatever... This was a very well done cut scene, even if it does have both forward & backward action. The job of this trailer is to get people interested in the game. Mission accomplished.

• Yeah I saw that yesterday. It was really amazing, but shit like that is (for some primal, subconscious reason) even harder to watch when you actually have a kid. I will still play the shit out of it upon release.
