Capcom Vs Romero

[Richocet 0]

For those a little slow in the noggin' and can't read big things, just look to the bolded parts for the general jist of this thread.

I felt the title needed a little bazazz *jazz hands* to really accommodate the discussion which I hope will unfold here. The one amazing pro that comes from a zombie infested mod is that the people who play obviously take a fondness towards our flesh-eating un-dead counterparts.

It has been done many a time across the interwebz, and may have even happened here once or twice without me noticing, but I'll get right to the point as this forum seems to take great pride in its community of computer game enthusiasts who can't read without needing a mental rest every three lines.

What would you rather have in a mod like this, or what do you personally prefer:

The shambling hordes of groaning hungry brain-dead brain-lovers?

Or the virus ridden speed freaks more content on beating you to a pulp before maybe taking a nibble.

Now before you think a few things to post simply because you may or may not feel like being an asshat today, this is in no way directed at the current state of the mods zombies.. Call it even a question of which you would prefer, if you will. Also I am in no way claiming Capcom invented slow zombies, and Romero invented the bolters, I just thought it had a nice ring to it.

Other than whats your own preference speed? What would you do if Rocket turned around and maybe 'fixed' (This being in the eyes of those who feel super fast zombies who can see long distances are not good for this mod) The Zeds into the complete opposite of what they are now.. Hell, even duplicated them into near unbreakable crowds around localised areas. We have been fed a lot of both kind of Zombie, no pun intended, as well as probably seen the many arguments that a fast zombie isn't really a zombie, but a virus ridden half-dead being, but that topic lies elsewhere.

Would you enjoy the masses of hunched moanin' and groanin' slowly approaching your barely equipped self over the speedy European country-folk we have now? Have you always had a sweet spot for those idle punching bags that I sure enjoyed messing around with in such games as Dead Rising. And how would it effect the game should Rocket hypothetically choose to do a switch-er-roo? Personally I'd love the slow to dawn the mod, maybe even more so than the fast Zed's which have become popular labels of the term.

I look forward to other zombies lovers inputs~

Maybe even Rocket himself! Bless my thread.

My signature link is relevant to this thread.

I look forward to seeing how people respond to this proposition, OP.

I absolutely hate the shambling undead type zombies that are slow and stupid.

I MUCH prefer the 28 days later type of zombie, the crazy, unrelenting infected person that will smash through anything and everything to find you.

It also fits much more in line with the whole realism aspect of the mod, having actual undead zombies just seems stupid and all supernatural and such.. I don't like that.

Romero FTW, but this is Rocket's mod and I support him

Haha, This is what I'm talking about!

Apologies in stepping on already covered ground then, friend. It's nice to see that people share the same daydream as I do though.

I've also read your thread, not to mash up intentions and mix up where to put what opinion but I think we're very much on the same page with this idea, though I'm being slightly hypocritical in my saying it as an idea over a discussion.

It's been on my mind whether I'm playing the game or not, the fear factor of running away from road-runners seems to almost lay one foot behind the oddly humble masses than limp and tumble towards you while you lay with next to no ammo. What better way to reinforce the survival aspect, as I've always wondered how I'd react in a low ammo, many zombie situation.. You could have all the powerful weapons in the game and still not be able to juggle the numbers that the slower kind always produced.

True it would cause a problem engine side, connections and FPS speeds may also take a hit with heaps of mobs being thrown around, though one can dream.

I like the Zombies right now as they are. They should be a threat. Of course the Players should remain the biggest threat but honestly, Its great now. It should really be a matter if you shoot some guy and the zeds are going apeshit on you. The way it was before allmost every encounter was like "Meh, get rid of those zeds and get the loot of the guy we shot."

Duly noted fellow zombie-slayers, short lived though highly informative for ten minutes of a thread. And its much appreciated for the mod aspect as well as the personal opinions I assure you. To get a little brown on my nose I by no means would ask for the general aspect of this mod to change, I've had a blast with my long-standing character despite the many engine tumbles along the way. This is going to get bigger before it gets smaller, regardless of the vibe some of the community produces upon newcomers.
