Started playing this on ps4 (ps+ freebie) I'm a few hours in and think I'm having fun! I'm in Brick Lane at the moment. Bucks Palace took a good few goes and lives  to get through. Graphically it is poor and I do not like the fact I can't toggle run to stay on if I depress the stick, having to hold it down to run is awkward. Love the idea of the narrators voice coming out of the DS speaker but it is to loud/pitch is wrong so I have changed to coming out of the tv speakers. I do however like the respawning idea and the environments seem fun so far. I am happy it was free and that I did not buy in the end. |

glad you're enjoying it (at least i think you are)
i got it for a tenner early on and was quite happy with that...buck palace was the first real difficulty spike, iirc
decent little game, imo....but then i'm a sucker for anything with zombies - cant wait for the dead island remasters... -

Great stuff, did you complete?
Do you keep respawning as a different character no matter how many times you die?
I forgot to say I do like that when you die you are turned and if you kill yourself (keep up) you can get your backpack goodies back.
I didn't realise this at first so "lost" my silence pistol,crossbow and carbine. -
@DUFFMAN5 apologies if you know already but you can lower the volume coming from the DS -

I did but I assumed it would have an option for specific games, is it just in settings only then. It doesn't seem anywhere near as loud when used in GTA for example.
I'm on survivor 10 now, but I have been with this one for 30 odd kills at least. Baseball bat with nail in is great. -

Registered 16 years agoI thought it was pretty much the most soulless and boring thing I've played all gen :/
I really wish I saw what you lot think is so special about it as I thought it'd be exactly my kind of thing. I'd had enough by Buckingham Palace. -

I'm really killing game time for a week or so at any rate.

@DUFFMAN5 if you hold down the PS button on the controller it should bring up a menu and I believe the option for the volume level is at the top. -

Sounds a bit like a Souls game.

Registered 16 years agoYeah, that's why I was drawn to it. But it lacked any charm, seemed utterly generic in everything it did, had a dull sub-Skyrim melee combat system, and had more tones of grey to it's visual look than a housewife's porn novel.
It tries to be like Souls, but it doesn't really stick it. -

Registered 16 years agoGiven you're taking to demeaning my opinion, any counter to why I 'have bad taste' other than it's "excellent"? Because it's not like I didn't explain my thoughts. -

Registered 7 years agoHaving frame rate issues in your opening cinematic is never a good start. Only played the first 5 minutes but looking forward to this, wanted to try it since it launched years ago. -

Registered 10 years agoHad a lot of fun with this earlier. The gameplay is crisp and atmospheric and just about challenging enough. The only thing I'm not enjoying is the constant tracking back to drop off loot. -
This is less fun sans gamepad. Still great though, too long like all fps games mind -

Registered 17 years agoIt looks like my time with Zombi is at an end, I have enjoyed most of it. I played the Arena mission last night and got killed on the final wave, but popped the Trophy for "surviving the ambush" I respawned in my base and now have no mission makers or objectives.
I had spent a further 2 odd hours. With the game going all over the map but nowt. Checked the web and it seems to be a known bug! I fucking hate that, there is no place for a "known bug" in a completed retail game.
It had taken 11 hours and a feck load of deaths to get to the point mentioned, don't feel like doing that again.
Also 1fecking save file, stupid.
I will try one more time this morning but I know the answer.
EDIT, defo fucked. Thanks a lot zombi

Registered 14 years ago@DUFFMAN5 I had a similar bug on Wii U. I ended up fixing it though. I don't remember how, but I think I just killed myself to restart the arena chapter. I'm not sure now.

Cheers for advice but I tried that, I tried everything I could think of. Why just one fucking save file though. Last game to do this to me was hitman on the penultimate lvl.
I have erased zombi now. -

Registered 14 years ago@DUFFMAN5 oh wait, nevermind. I just discovered that the Wii U version was patched after a few months to fix that issue (and many more). I played the game in 2015, so it was already patched.
If this still happens in the PS4 version, that means Ubisoft actually ported over the original, unpatched release. That's all kinds of screwed up. And I don't have many hopes of the PS4 receiving a similar patch. -

Registered 17 years agoThe issue could have been reintroduced during the porting process, it doesn't mean it's the original game. -

Registered 14 years agoWell, but whatever the reason, a re-release ends up having a bug again that was fixed in the original game. I don't think that's happened very often before.
Oh well. I don't really think we'll see another patch since apparently it wasn't successful (unless all the new PS+ players make enough noise about it to convince Ubisoft otherwise). From the couple hours I have played, the porting seems like a bit of a sloppy job anyway. -
Shame was looking forward to playing this, oh well ill give it a go as quite a lot of people have enjoyed it but that is poor form.
