A few months ago it was announced, in the wake of the massive success of TellTale Games' The Walking Dead, that Terminal Reality would be developing a first person shooter based on the franchise to be released within the year.
It was revealed that the the game would
be set before the events of the TV show and would centre around Daryl
Dixon and his brother Merle. The Dixon brothers are widely considered
the favourites of the show. Daryl for being the flawed yet lovable hard nosed golden boy and Merle for being the racist hick
that everyone just loves to hate.
4 weeks ago the survival instinct
YouTube channel released an advertisement for the game that featured
no in game content but did feature the actors from the show, who WILL
be voicing the characters in game, pretending to know what video
games are.
This honestly gave me pause and made me
think “less than 3 months from release and you haven't got anything
to show me?” but my fears have been assuaged... somewhat.
From the
in game footage in the latest trailer I'm not totally blown away.
First impressions are that it will be a relatively generic, quite fun
but ultimately rather forgettable experience. Only time will tell.
Its got a Daryls signature crossbow
though and if video games has taught us anything its that gamers
fucking LOVE crossbows.
The Walking Dead: Survival
Instinct will be available on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC on March 26 in North
America and March 29 in Europe.
