Why does everything nowadays have to be a 'ripoff' or 'stolen'? The concept of the living dead has been around for as long as man itself, and zombies, even in their current format, have been around since the 60s and the days of Romero. Is every person that's made a zombie movie ripping off Romero? Nope. Zombies seem to be really popular at the moment- just look at the Walking Dead, and hey! What are you on the forum of right now?- so in my opinion, this is just a game about zombies that just happens to focus on survivors. For the last 50 years, zombie movies have been just as much about the people shooting/running from/getting eaten by the zombies as the corpses themselves. I'm glad that, at last, we're beginning to get zombie games that focus on the people. I'm not saying that this is gonna be an amazing game- for all I know, it could be awful- but just because things share ideas, doesn't mean they're ripoffs.
