Epic Trailer of the Week

Insane design for this trailer. Teases the story, the gameplay, the setting—what the hell doesn’t it do?

It doesn’t suck, for starters.

It starts off with a (un)dead girl, which is ballsy. You see zombie games now, you don’t see zombie children. But this trailer thrusts it in front of you and says ‘take it in, bitch, we’re not fucking around.’

And then it forms into a backwards narrative which kept me on my toes as the visuals pieced together what happened for me, all with that haunting piano melody to creep me out. Then the two survivors battling off fat zombies, skinny zombies, bikini zombies—shit, just a fuckload of zombies.

Cutting back to jarring scenes of the girl, alive again, running away—you start to get the feeling of what this game is supposed to be. Serious. Espiecally that added effect at the end.

From an artistic standpoint, HOLY SHIT.

The music, the slo-mo, the feeling and the characters—by God, if this isn’t quality zombie awesomeness, then you don’t know shit about zombies.

My body is ready.
