I would say Project Zomboid is probably my favorite zombie title, it has a lot more realistic things like having to remove broken glass before climbing through, nutrition of food, depression and boredom, random "meta" events that attract zombies, power and water going out, sickness, cars that actually need the keys, the list goes on.
what I love about the modern zombie concept isn't the "murder with no guilt" concept you see in more arcade like zombie games (although some may be fun) but the either survival enfasis or the fear of human desperation, the horror doesn't come from the zombies itself but from your fellow man and the thought of surviving another day in a world with no empathy.
The long waits are ALWAYS worth it. There are no words to describe it. This is more than amazing, more than the best. Everytime I see these videos, I treat like I'm going on vacation or something. Take my time and prepare everything, to have the most amazing experience watching it. This content is better than anything I've ever seen. Keep It Up!
AKETZA SAGASTIZABAL AGUIRRE In 1,2, and 3 they were mindless zombies because the T-virus backfired. In 4,5, and 6, they were parasites. Resident evil 7 is the only Resident Evil game where they are mutants.
Hey ahoy...when you run out of weapons why not extend to world history? Battle tactics maybe? You have a fantastic voice for it...thumbs up for the quality content doh...
It’ll take a while to run out of weapons. Humans have been obsessed with killing each other since the dawn of time, and Stu could make a documentary on brown paper bags sound interesting.
"The trouble with zombies is that they keep coming back" saying it at the beginning and at the end.. the same phrase, in the same video.. has two different meanings
Yes. And the bugs are great. Wall clipping that didn't help you go anywhere for example was fun for veteran players once they played so much of the game. Wouldn't call the game polished but I also wouldn't call the bugs and glitches bad either. If they can do it then you can also do it.
My favorite zombie movie is Train to Busan, a South Korean film that focuses on the drama and suspense of being trapped in a passenger train during an outbreak. My favorite zombie game is Dying Light. The fluid motion compliments the difficulty of early game combat, and the night time is a genuine terror to navigate.
28 weeks later, train to Busan and walking dead (till season 6) r my favourite of all time in terms of zombies. For games, dying light is the best zombie game ever made.
12:10 "Its zombies were different." "They were fast." The pauses in this line reading, the choice of picture, the intentional contrast to everything we've seen so far - that line delivery is fantastic.
flood are not zombies, they are a parasite that takes over a host and connect to a hivemind. the victim is still alive and conscious even after infection but is unable to control their body, only sit and think to themselves as they watch the infection form control them. Depending on the host's experiences, the flood will access their memories over time and can learn different things like using a weapon or vehicle, but the process will leave the victim brain dead and the infection form must find a new organism to infect.
I did a project on the book Warm Bodies, and during my entire presentation the class and judges just looked at me strangely due to the simple nature of the story. The assignment asked us to break down the actual goings on of the story and not the nuance. Afterward I spoke with a judge because I was kinda nervous about how well I did, and brought up why I like zombie stories. It's not the actual creatures that are fascinating, but the moral dilemma they present. When stripped of laws and put into a world where your only goal is to survive, what do you do? Would you still be what many consider a good person? What psychological effects would this type of apocalypse have? I also explained the other parts of what makes WB a good book. The great dialogue, pacing, and characterization are all key to the story. After my explanation, she told me I was one of the smartest teenagers she's ever met. Story time ending, those things are what makes zombie movies good. In terms of gameplay the concept of zombies is a perfect fit. You can mold them to horror OR just kill them in droves. An enemy that you have basically an infinite amount of which you can fight? Beautiful. Or you can go the Walking Dead route and see the moral issues of the apocalypse. Resident Evil like games go for horror. Breaking down how popular culture works is a favorite pastime for me, if you couldn't tell. Thank you for reading, I don't know how to end this comment well.
James Jutagir (PUPIL) No, I just looked really awkward during the presentation, and I’m pretty sure everyone just felt kinda bad for me and moved along. I talked with the college mediator lady who was judging afterwards because we’re friends, not because I wanted a better grade.
my ps3 game glitched when i ran into zombies with my car, and beach umbrellas where static objects, as well as iron fence gates, which anoys me. and i got 1 FPS when i was driving over a bunch of chairs at the beach. stuff like that made me dislike it. but there where good things about it, as well.
Without a doubt, the same guy that delivers the weapon guides for those games. He made a list of Iconic Arms, too; guns that made themselves into games and movies, most notably the popular kind that appears a lot of times.
How can you talk about Zombie games without mentioning "No More Room in Hell", the game most similar to Romero's movies? Also there is going to be a second NMRIH this year.
@@ElementalDj Yes, they just added a new video on the official NMRIH youtube channel 2 months ago. It's looking good but it seems that they won't release it this year.
Wow that film at around 2:00 is from 1932? The picture quality is amazing, I didn't realize this kinda quality was possible back then, like when you watch film of world war 2 stuff from the 40's the quality is awful same with sports footage like the 1966 world cup final etc.
that's because that footage probably wasn't transfered digitally from the original reels, which are generally pretty well-preserved with most major films.
old films have a really great quality (some old cameras could have "resolutions" higher than digital cameras), the reason why sport footage looked horribly is because they were broadcasted with analog signal to television, and at that time bandwith and signal loss were a serious concern. Probably movies at the cinema from the 40s look as good as todays
I like how you said Halo: Combat Evolved when you were talking about Zombies Expiring again when Halo has the Flood, a fungal parasite that turns any flesh and tissue as a way to grow and zombies (combat forms) running at you bringing down your shields than infecting you with an infection form
Always intriguing to see the history of our culture. But watching this only makes me wonder... Will you ever cover the two other timeless monsters - vampires and werewolves?
it makes me really sad to see Contagion being so forgotten (although mentioned in this video) That game, to this date, has the most captivating atmosphere of any zombie game ever.. the sound alone had me blown away.
I’m pretty sure both Zombies and Metal Gear will come back, buddy. The only problem with the later is getting the rights away from Konami, once Hideo Kojima wants to make another game.
Night of the Living Dead 1968 was probably the biggest turning point in my cinema culture, watched it for the fun of watching a silly old black and white movie and it got my attention from the first second to the very end. Highly recommend watching it, and after that 1978 Dawn of the Dead, old school zombie movies kick ass.
I'd love to see a follow-up/successor to this video about the 'alien space cancer' trope, a la The Flood, Blacklight Virus, The Infestation, etc. I feel like it's fairly closely related to zombies, but I've never quite been able to pin down where it's particular aesthetic of hive minds, huge spore masses growing over everything, and giant glowing orange pustules originated. It feels almost self-perpetuating as a game trope, but I dont remember really seeing it outside of games.
You take a thousand shots, you're bound to hit one. You take a million shots, you're bound to hit thousands. That's the nature of Zombies in video games.
11:20 Showing Halo while talking about Zombies going out the door is a little discordant. After all, The Flood is an important antagonist, and they are basically space zombie hivemind aliens. Not to mention a ton of games had "zombie modes" or "horde mode," like Counter Strike.
Counter Strike never had a zombie mode, if you are talking about the nexon games. they are modifications of 1.6 and are not in the main counter strike series.
There's a game called no more room in hell, and I wanted him to talk about, because I personally think it's the most realistic zombies simulator you can ever played. Also, I don't understand you.
+Sinon They're saying that the games he pointed out were the best examples he could have used for each of his points. To respond to your original post, I doubt that No More Room In Hell is known nearly as well as the majority of the titles mentioned, hence why it probably wasn't used.
We need more content like this on TH-cam instead of all the DRAMA channels popping up! This is the rarest of EPIC LOOT! Keep it up Ahoy, you content is top notch quality!
The undead are on a constant up and down cycle of popularity, but I don’t think there’s any way for them to come back if they fade back into obscurity and irrelevance. We’ve already explored every option for them, there’s nothing new to do.
you forgot to mention that zombies are so populair in games because they are the easiest enemy AI to program :)
Didn't think about that but it actually makes sense.

That game, to this date, has the most captivating atmosphere of any zombie game ever.. the sound alone had me blown away.
"The trouble with zombies... is that they keep coming back."
BrRrRrRrR
Shivers down my spine.
Stu Is Back From The Dead... Get It "Dead"... Zombies... OK I'll Stop.
"When will it die?"
Metal Gear Survive. Yeah.
I’m pretty sure both Zombies and Metal Gear will come back, buddy. The only problem with the later is getting the rights away from Konami, once Hideo Kojima wants to make another game.
Night of the Living Dead 1968 was probably the biggest turning point in my cinema culture, watched it for the fun of watching a silly old black and white movie and it got my attention from the first second to the very end. Highly recommend watching it, and after that 1978 Dawn of the Dead, old school zombie movies kick ass.
I'd love to see a follow-up/successor to this video about the 'alien space cancer' trope, a la The Flood, Blacklight Virus, The Infestation, etc.
I feel like it's fairly closely related to zombies, but I've never quite been able to pin down where it's particular aesthetic of hive minds, huge spore masses growing over everything, and giant glowing orange pustules originated. It feels almost self-perpetuating as a game trope, but I dont remember really seeing it outside of games.
I truly do cream at your uploads. Your content is fucking god tier.
Man there are so many decent zombie titles out there interspersed with absolute shit :P
You take a thousand shots, you're bound to hit one. You take a million shots, you're bound to hit thousands. That's the nature of Zombies in video games.
zombi
Generally Awesome ahem, The Last Of Us and Dead Rising
Ahoy, I hope you never stop making doc vids. Because I will NEVER get tired of watching them lol

Showing Halo while talking about Zombies going out the door is a little discordant. After all, The Flood is an important antagonist, and they are basically space zombie hivemind aliens.
Not to mention a ton of games had "zombie modes" or "horde mode," like Counter Strike.
Counter Strike never had a zombie mode, if you are talking about the nexon games. they are modifications of 1.6 and are not in the main counter strike series.
No more room in hell, why won't you talk about.
im fairly certain he mentioned HOW FUCKING MANY THERE ARE
and so he got the best examples for each of points
There's a game called no more room in hell, and I wanted him to talk about, because I personally think it's the most realistic zombies simulator you can ever played. Also, I don't understand you.
+Sinon They're saying that the games he pointed out were the best examples he could have used for each of his points. To respond to your original post, I doubt that No More Room In Hell is known nearly as well as the majority of the titles mentioned, hence why it probably wasn't used.
+Kung Fu Fishy (KungFuFishy) I know it's less known, but it's really a good but underrated game.
"Also, I don't understand you" i thought i was being clear as sky xD
RIP George A. Romero
I think I've binged your entire channel, and I absolutely love it!!
This guy could just kill zombies with his terrifying voice.
I remember watching this 3 years ago.
r.i.p george romero
Such high production value with little to no ads. Amazing

+Call of duty:infinite warfare confetti gun
The M60? Only popular gun I can think of.
+Call of duty:infinite warfare I would like to see a Lee Enfield.
We need more content like this on TH-cam instead of all the DRAMA channels popping up! This is the rarest of EPIC LOOT! Keep it up Ahoy, you content is top notch quality!
No matter how much this genre gets hit, it always come back. Like a zombie
16:26 what a smooth transition
Who the fuck plays The Last Of Us like that?
When you get spotted and don't have time to reload/ completely out of ammo.
I do
I did. Finished the game faster than I thought it would take.
I think that deep down, we all want a zombie apocalypse.
Hell yes!
Mortis yeah I would be able do to illegal shit
I think that deep down, you're too stupid to believe you're gonna be one of the first individuals to get infected.
I don't care if I die, it's the fucking apocalypse.
I'm talking about a massive population cull.

I love the one-liner at the end of every ahoy videos
The undead are on a constant up and down cycle of popularity, but I don’t think there’s any way for them to come back if they fade back into obscurity and irrelevance. We’ve already explored every option for them, there’s nothing new to do.
I was a bit surprised bc there was no Prototype games. Good stuff with viral infection zombies.
