10 Exciting 2017 Video Games Nobody Is Talking About
10. The Walking Dead (From The Developers Of PayDay)
The Walking Dead has been adapted multiple times in video game form, with the results being completely mixed.
Although Telltale has had great success with their narrative-focused TWD experience, combat-based adaptations like The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct have not fared as well. To that end, Payday developer Overkill Software are taking on the IP, hopefully providing a combat-heavy experience worthy of the Walking Dead name.
Announced back in August of 2014, Overkill's game is a co-op FPS with action, role-playing, survival horror and stealth elements. Players take on the role of survivors fending for themselves in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by those notorious Walkers. The game will explore original characters and will players to let loose in a Left 4 Dead-like zombie playground.
Although there's very little gameplay shown off so far for the game, the prospect of a fully co-op Walking Dead experience is enough to pique some interest. If done right, this could be a new Left 4 Dead multiplayer experience mixed with some intriguing story elements. Besides, there may be plenty of zombie games already being made, but none of them are promising this kind of zombie-killing experience.
