Retail game - plays in which country?

[S3V3N 1402]

I have been thinking about the retail version and where it could take place. I've never actually been to New Zealand, but I think Peter Jackson is a native (don't hit me when I'm wrong) and I've seen some of his ealier works. The area seems like made for a zombie apocalypse and since New Zealand is an island state it would fit well with the isolation theme of a zombie apocalypse.

I thought of Japan, the UK or New Zealand. NZ being my choice of favor, so far. Ok, ok - somehow I left out the whole of south America, but we've recently seen a lot of it in other games. Also, the environment can be tweaked a bit, since it's a fictional country.

What's your choice? Or do you feel like there is something I forgot (like Canada, or the Arctic region ^^)

My vote goes to either Japan or Europe. Its a bit of a biased vote because of my love for cities. But the vast amount of buildings make for great loot and ways to lose zombies.

Also giant abandoned industrial warehouses player factions can take over etc.

Idk, I always feel clumsy in cities, which is parly due to the nature of the engine. I imagine it would be even worse in a Japanese environment. Also, I'm not sure I want to play as Japanese or hunt Japanese Zombies. No offense, but it's a stretch for me. I like all islands, really and think they would be best suited, but it'll be interesting to see the results of the poll (and the additions);

I can add more countries to the poll, if you make valid (new) suggestions.

I voted for central Europe, but anywhere with a nicely varied map would do in my opinion.

It would be great to have contrasting areas on the map so you would have to tailor your approach to your surroundings.

Good thread.

Wilderness makes zombie survival less interesting, mainly because you can't farm or do a lot of things in the wilderness.

Can someone please make this thread a sticky? It can actually say a lot about what the community expects of the retail game. We let out wallets speak to say we like the game and freedom it can offer. Now we speak about which country we would like to play in the most.
