I agree, it's oversaturation! To be fair, though, this game started development about four years ago, and it sounds more appealing than that zombie MMO thing. The trailer really seems to capture the mood.

Like you, I need to see some gameplay before I make a judgment. The trailer is very well prodocued, but I find myself resenting it. Maybe I'm jaded, but child deaths just aren't as able to emotionally manipulate me the way they once were, possibly because companies seem to be mining such tragedy more and more. Dead Rising starts with a cutscene of a woman's futile effort to protect her daughter from zombies, and last year's Heavy Rain opens with the death of the main character's son.
The trailer was apparently created by a marketing firm, and not by the game developer's Techland, so again, I'll hold off judgment until I see some gameplay. I did find this pretty awesome tidbit on Wikipedia:
"The zombies have fully-modelled layers of meat and muscle rendered onto their bodies, meaning they have a multi-layered damage system with real-time injuries."
you know what's fucked up, the child dying isn't the sappy part. it's the way that when it's played backwards like this, it seems like they're abandoning the child.

I might to make a thread for this, saw this trailer yesterday.
Pretty crazy shit, much deeper than I was expecting, I think this could be pretty cool.
But yea, the market is totally over-saturated with zombie games.
Also, Twilight (etc...) made vampires pretty gay and lame for a while.
And when Breaking Dawn is released as a movie (if ever) werewolves will be labeled as pedophiles at best.

I believe it's not too late to undo the damage done by Twilight. All we need is one really good honest-to-god Dracula movie that reminds everyone why they ever thought vampires were scary.
I'm not a bad enough dude, but I am an edgy little shit. I'll do what I can.

Doesn't even need to be a Dracula movie. Any good vampire movie would do.
ANY MOVIE!

twilight is not that bad. i only saw the third one but i liked it. i had no expactations on it so it wasn't too bad. It's a teen movie at last so i understand that many people don't like it. well i guess i'am just a crazy teenager after all.
the trailer is... well at first i thought it did suck but after watching the whole thing i think the idea is interesting, putting a zombie game into a more emotional light. well whatever its only a trailer. are there any gameplay videos?
