Fuck. Yes.
"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◊

My other signature is a Gundam.^ I agree
^^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.
"Everyone wants an answer, don't they?... I hate things with answers." — Grant MorrisonAnd really, it's Rockstar. I have full confidence that they can pull this off.
I'm just annoyed at the Follow the Leader-ness.
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.
Sakamoto demands an explanation for this shit.And it's a zombie Western. When's the last time you heard of that?
Marvel Zombies did it this year.
That's Marvel Zombies. Don't care.
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.^ More likely he said something anti-semitic to the wrong person and got himself shot.
"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.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.

Requiem ~ September 2010 - October 2011 [Banned 4 Life]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.

"Hipsters: the most dangerous gang in the US." - Pacific MackerelI played it at NYCC. It's fairly cool - and scary.
Oh, and it's never daylight outside. At best, it's overcast and wet.

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.
