A zombie themed game? I think this genre could really catch on.

Pav3d was obviously being sarcastic.

Back to the original topic, that trailer was brilliant. More emphasis on melee is always a good thing in my eyes, really looking forward to this. Looks great, let's hope it plays great too.

The trailer is very good, almost a work of art I'd say, but to be honest I'm not very interested in a zombie game where there are no guns (or reloads, I know you want to hear me say it :P ).

I'd agree and have to say that the trailer was very well done :P

Although it does seem rather odd, at least to me that guns are absent in a zombie game. I'd certainly like to see what the gameplay will be like

It was never said they were absent, just they weren't the focus.

I'm liking that magical healing axe that they showed in the trailer.

It's kinda sad they had to get a little girl killed in the trailer. If it was a zombie or a man, okay...but a kid?

L4D's reloads were...scary. :P

If all four players in L4D2 was aiming for the Confederacy of Crunches achievement...yeah. All-melee.

I think that's supposed to highlight the level of drama and pathos in the plot.

Well...when? If she was a zombie, why would the humans carry her in...and then after that the zombies broke in and...she fell out of the window.

She jumped on her Dad's back, and started biting his neck, I know some kids can be violent, and I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure that's a sign of being a zombie. :P

True, didn't think of that.

Perhaps this isn't a trailer at all, and is in fact a subtle campaign, to raise awareness for ADHD.

They've got to reverse this video somehow, I'm not really good at reversed videos, unless it's Meet the Spy reversed.
