      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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

    Resident Evil has "slightly" awkward controls??? The horrible controls are the number one reason I've never played through any of the RE games. It's like the designers went out of their way to make controlling the game as difficult as possible.
    Anyway...
    One thing I've never understood is why there are so few campaign oriented, single-player zombie FPS games. You have multi-player games, co-op games, survivalist games, tactical games, sandbox games, etc. But when it comes to straight-forward FPS games with a single-player campaign, you can practically count the zombie games on the fingers of one hand and probably half of those games aren't very well liked. Sure, zombies show up in a lot of FPS games, like Half-Life, Blood, etc, but why are there so few FPS games exclusively focusing on traditional undead zombies?
