Zombie Apocalypse (PSN)
 

Apparently there' s an option for four player online co-op.

Anybody up for some zombie killing action sometime this week? Curious to see how multiplayer affects the onslaught.

Is this game any good? I saw it was out there, but hadn't purchased it.

I didn't buy it but tried the demo before having a few friends over on Saturday to look for a good co-op game.

Seemed like a pretty bland dual-stick shooter to me. I didn't see anything too interesting. If you like that style of game though it might be ok. It looks nice.

Personally I think Burn Zombie Burn is a much more interesting PSN Zombie mauler type game.

I love the 'Cash, Guns, Chaos' game, so it may be up my alley. I'll have to check out the demo.

Spoiled kids these days... growing up with all sorts of zombie games.

No kidding. There was a time when I wasy dying for a good Zombie game and there was nothing to be found. Now everyone is shovelling them out as quick as they can.

Still nothing quite like what I want. I can't wait for more of a strategy/RPG hybrid. Thinking along the lines of Zombie X-Com, but maybe a real time solution, as I'm not sure how well zombies would work turn-based.

I want to meet other survivors, build defenses, send out parties to scrounge for supplies.

Instead we will probably just see waves of these dual-stick shooters or FPS games, just to taunt me even more.

I did read something about some ex-Troika guys working on a game similiar to what I want, but no idea if thatll ever happen or what it would end up as.

I've always thought that kind of game would be awesome. Sort of moving your band of characters across the US with random encounters, set encounters and large, over-arching plot of some kind.


That said, I do love playing L4D. Granted, I am a bit spoiled, since I have a good group of friends who also all play it, so it's constantly a good time without the aggrevation of the occassional random idiot.

It's not a game of the year contender, by any means, but it's got hordes of zombies, multiple weapon power-ups, and the ability to chainsaw them back to death. Plus multiplayer. For, what, $10? I don't know if you can really expect a whole lot more than that.

Can you play 4 player co-op locally?

I think so.
