We need a real survival open world zombie game:

Some of these ideas might be a stretch, but how long has it been since developers have blown our minds?

If I win a major lotto jackpot I will personally fund this game.

The Basics:

1. CO-OP: This is the best part of survival and/or zombie games.
2. There needs to be harsh consequences for death. (Think Day Z, Dark souls or even State of Decay)
   
3. I would love to see MMO similar to what I expect destiny to be. Open world with the ability to team up against zombies or against fellow survivors.
   
4. There needs to be a some what high degree of difficulty. I don't want everyone to start off with lmgs, tanks and crazy fortresses. Ammo needs to be somewhat scarce and weapons need to be equally as scarce with different levels of efficiency. If you take
   damage, you should really take damage. No automatic health regen.
5. There should be a way to build cool structures/fortresses....Take a page from minecraft. Time consuming, but manageable. Anyone should be able to build a hut, but building something impressive should take time and a little bit of luck finding important
   materials.
6. Hordes should be a real threat that you need to run from. Unless you have a team of 10+ members who have been playing long enough to find decent weapons and have amassed a stock pile of ammo, a horde should be a frightening sight.
   

Make Midnight Launch Important:

• Have 'real' worlds that start out normal on midnight release. i.e. spawning into a world similar to GTA V. (Each world could be it's own server)
  
• Stores stocked with food, all houses have locks on their doors. Gun shops have a limited supply of hand guns, rifles, shotguns and ammo. You can also find randomly spawned weapons inside houses. Gas stations full of gas. A fair amount of working vehicles.
  
• Have the world evolve itself.
• Each time a person dies in game that persons character becomes a zombie with AI. Each time a vehicle is in an accident, it needs to be repaired or there will be one less vehicle in the world.
  
• After a few weeks people will really need to scavenge for food....Looking in basement pantries, eating questionable berries in the woods, ect.
  
• Every time a house is burned down, it is permanently gone. Structures would need to be rebuilt from scratch.
  
• Trolls could become bandits. Friends/clans could try to build up colonies and defend them.
  
• Towards the end of the xbox ones life span I would like to see a huge world with different cities/areas. Image starting the game out in a field.....finding a farm similar to the one in the walking dead...building up a crew and defenses. Then if you wanted
  to, hope in a truck and hope you can find enough gas along the way to reach towns to scavenge...or even risk going into a large city (maybe even a real city like chicago, new york, moscow, tokyo)
  

.

Take the best parts of different games and combine them into a gaming Gem:

• Take the destruction from Battlefield (There wont be tanks or AC130s so it wont be so dramatic)
  
• The mechanics of a 3rd person shooter like Red Dead Redemption.
• The building blue prints from Minecraft (Slightly more technical)
• The survival factor of Dark Souls or Day Z
• Insert other great ideas here _____

• What do you guys think?
• Is there something I'm leaving out?
• Is there something in here that just isn't a good idea?
• What is your dream Zombie game?

Sorry if this posts jumps around a little bit. I came in here to post "We need a real survival open world zombie game"...I then went on a long list/rant/idea web/discussion thread. Inb4 2 total responses....1: Dumb idea. 2: I lik zumbee

You Cant Kill Whats Already Dead.

I like zombies but Im not crazy about them, I do think they've been used quite enough in games though but what can you do, their popular?

.

The game I wish I could play is a survival horror in an open world and I don't mean Dead Island, which wasn't bad, but it was more like Borderlands than a real open world zombie game.

 

Good afternoon what is best game state of decay 2 or call of duty zombies part.

Hard to compare these. You like open world survival zombies games? -> State of Decay 2

Prefer FPS with zombies? -> Call of Duty

 

Not a zombie fan myself. But I give you mad props on the well thought out post.

 

I agree with you man. I would love a game like this!

 

Agreed, they should just bring DayZ to Xbox One.

 

Everything you said but 1 respawn every 24 hours!

lol, that would be hardcore. How about the guy who buys the game spawns up and dies from the first zombie he sees lol. Maybe one respawn per server?

 

I am on board with you. I love the zombie genre. The possibilities are endless. So let's hit the lotto and put a team together with devs from rock star, capcom Dr3, Treyarch, dead trigger and any other zombie game maker and let them make the ultimate open
world zombie game.

 

I already got Dead Rising 3,and Undead Lab might do a sequel of State of Decay......

 

I like the idea, especially the persistent world and co-op survivalist possibilities. I didn't think RDR mechanics were all that great. Maybe mechanics from The Last of Us instead. Throw in an EMP/CME to get rid of all vehicles and electricity and it
would be an intriguing post-apocalyptic scenario.

 

I would much rather move into the future and plant an alien survival game.

• start off higher up military fight air to air with incoming fleet and on ground anti airs.

•then after alien invasion batters through that you are just some grunts fighting a losing battle on the ground.

It would work it's way down to ragtag survivors who years later come up with a plan to rid their planet of the alien presence and reclaim what was once theirs!!!

Sweet game right there.

FYI yours was sweet as well

 

You may wish to send suggestions to Undead Labs (the developers of State of Decay). They have a multi-year multi-title agreement with MS.

 

Isnt dying light open world ?

 

Why not go all out? Have an alien-zombie apocalypse hybrid! Aliens invade & anyone they kill gets infected with an alien disease that reanimates them as the unliving. Now the aliens (who are now stranded) & the remaining humans fight for survival against
each other & the those that are already dead over what's left. That would be epic!
