Still, there is still some precedent for the existence of the supernatural in this verse.

Also, it's possible this is a "What if" scenario.

"Personally, I'm totally over it. I started hating zombies in video games after The Flood which were pretty much the worst zombies ever and, naturally, widely imitated."

@Self Referential:

Maybe that's because The Flood aren't zombies in the slightest and as far as I can tell aren't imitated at all?

Seriously.

But honestly, a lot of people in this thread are Completely Missing The Point.

It doesn't matter that it doesn't make sense or that it "seems gimmicky" or some BS like that. As long as it's fun (which, if it's anything like Call of Duty zombies, it will be) who gives a shit?

Jeez

^^While I'm reserving judgement, I do think there's a case for concern here. RDR was a tight-knit story about a man trying to get his family back. There was very little in the way of supernatural events and the question of when in the continuity of the game it happens.

I'm not saying the game is Ruined Forever thanks to this. I'm just saying it's understandable why some would find this hurting the game's integrity.

And really, it's Rockstar. I have full confidence that they can pull this off.

I hate the zombie-infested lack of creativity a lot of companies seem to have now, with their DLC. However. This is Red Dead Redemption we're talking about.

Think of the glitches. This could be awesome.

And it's a zombie Western. When's the last time you heard of that?

And plus its DLC. Don't like it, don't buy it. Plus it doesn't affect the main game and its plot at all.

Anyone notice that one of the gravestones in the latest trailer says "Herbert Moon"?

I guess he must have died fighting off a forgein jewish cougar. Lets just hope we don't have to fight a zombie Herb, or we're all doomed.

DOOMED, I SAY! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM- *ZOMBIE COUGAR'D*

A good writer puts in a lot of details in there story. But a great one gets a story from a single detail.

My first thought was: ridiculous. I like zombies but please stop releasing zombie this, zombie that in a franchise which has NOTHING TO DO WITH ZOMBIES.

Again, I refer to Monolith's Blood, which was Western-esque and had zombies. And this was a game by a company that made an FPS inspired by Mecha Anime and an FPS where you hunt down a Psychic cannibal who commands cloned soldiers.

We're talking about a game by a company who, If I am not mistaken, made a somewhat long-running series of games where you shoot people and steal cars. They could probably make that work.

I played it at NYCC. It's fairly cool - and scary.

Oh, and it's never daylight outside. At best, it's overcast and wet.
