Activision has this week released a new trailer revealing gameplay footage of its new The Walking Dead first-person shooter (FPS) video game.
The Walking Dead FPS is currently being developed by Terminal Reality and The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is based on the AMC TV programme rather than the comic books by Robert Kirkman. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action.
Development and Inspiration
“When Activision approached us to help them make The Walking Dead game based off the AMC’s TV series, the whole team went crazy,” Terminal Reality creative lead Angel Gonzalez wrote on the PlayStation Blog last year, when the game was first announced. “We are all fans of the show and couldn’t wait to get our hands on it. Immediately the team knew that an FPS game based on The Walking Dead was something we wanted to help bring the fans.”
The development team at Terminal Reality has been working diligently to capture the essence of the TV series, ensuring that the game’s atmosphere, characters, and storyline remain true to the source material. The game aims to immerse players in the post-apocalyptic world of The Walking Dead, where survival is the primary objective. Players will encounter familiar characters from the TV show, and the storyline will offer new insights and perspectives on the events that unfold in the series.
Gameplay and Features
The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is designed to be a gripping and intense experience, focusing on the survival aspects that fans of the series have come to love. The game will feature a variety of weapons and tools that players can use to fend off the relentless hordes of walkers. Resource management will be a key component, as players must scavenge for supplies, ammunition, and food to stay alive.
One of the standout features of the game is its emphasis on player choice. Decisions made throughout the game will have significant consequences, affecting the storyline and the fate of the characters. This dynamic decision-making process adds a layer of depth and replayability, as players can explore different outcomes based on their choices.
The game also promises to deliver a realistic and immersive experience through its detailed graphics and sound design. The developers have utilized advanced technology to create lifelike environments and character models, enhancing the overall sense of immersion. The sound design, including the eerie moans of walkers and the tense musical score, further contributes to the game’s atmosphere.
Activision is hoping to release the new Walking Dead FPS later this year on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. The anticipation for the game is building, and fans of the TV series and FPS genre alike are eagerly awaiting its release. The combination of a beloved franchise and the engaging gameplay mechanics of a first-person shooter has the potential to make The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct a standout title in the gaming world.
