Saving...
Following a games development can be an infuriating process, sometimes the studio will go months without divulging any new scrap of information. For that reason it’s all the more exciting when they do surface with some new details. Undead Labs, the highly devoted development team behind upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive Class 3, have broken almost a month long silence to talk about some key aspects of the upcoming game.
For the full Q&A you can head over to the Undead Labs website to read it in it’s entirety, here though we’re going to break down the most key information and what that could mean for the game.
The main focus of this Q&A seemed to be the developers answering questions that are rooted in January’s Spy-cam trailer. You remember that right? No?! Well as a refresher you can head here to watch it. If you’re intrigued as to what’s actually in that 2 minute epic then you head here for the full breakdown. Anyway, back to the good stuff – Yesterdays Q&A.
Loading screens? What Loading screens!
In any open-world game loading screens can be an issue. They can really detract from the sense of immersion created by an otherwise well executed environment. So when posed with the question of Class 3 and the possibility of loading screens, how did the devs respond?
Undead Labs have made the engine-intensive option of creating a seamless experience. A daring move for this new developer but it should be one that pays off. They’re also implementing some tricks to reduce the engine work-load that should also add to the sense of reality.
Landmines, Landmines everywhere…..
An0ther interesting question that popped up during the Q&A was one regarding achievements, a fairly mundane question that merited an immensely amazing answer from the developers:
Personally, I cannot wait to watch a rogue Zed blown 30+ feet into the air… This is something I need to see as soon as possible.
This is my car, without it I am useless
I’m sure most of you are familiar with the car-centric GTA IV‘s approach to mobility in an open world game. That works for a game like that but Class 3 demands much more subtlety, something they’re well aware of. I won’t go into the full quote on vehicles here, but needless to say that cars are going to be a precious resource that you should use wisely.
Endings are overrated
With a zombie survival game like Class 3 it could be easy to overlook the story element. Luckily Undead Labs aren’t doing that, but it does raise the question of how you end a zombie survival game? The short answer is that you don’t:
Soon… Very Soon.
Like I said, instead of going in-depth on every question that was asked I picked out the gems. So what do you end on? How about a question concerning a release date?….I thought you’d like that.
Everyone asks: When the hell does the apocalypse begin?
We’re getting there, folks. We’ll tell you as soon as we can. I can tell you that we’re right on schedule, and that you’ll be learning much (much) more about Class3 this spring.
Stay tuned, fellow survivors!
That’s it for now folks, it may have been a while since Undead Labs Surfaced to give us details but it was worth the wait. Now it seems we won’t be waiting quite so long to hear more about Class 3, which is always a good thing. Be sure to head over to their website for a full look at the recent Q&A and remember to stick with us here at TGF for the latest news on the upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive!

Ahhhh!!
Ok im not all religious but this is what is in the bible…
Zechariah 14:12
And the LORD will deliver a plague on all the nations that fought against Jerusalem. Their people will become like walking corpses, their flesh rotting away. Their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
Zechariah 14:13
On that day they will be terrified, stricken by the LORD with great panic. They will battle their neighbors hand to hand.
There are several other biblical passages that allude to a plague that will decimate mankind in the end times.
Many folks get the bible as the truth, and also see it as a book of prophecy. Could we have received warning of the impending increasing of the undead from antiquity? We don’t have to go much to rationalize this. Prophets in ancient situations may possibly have observed just what happened, but didn’t recognize the science behind it to explain it accurately. They could have witnessed the biological lead to engineered in a lab and unleashed on the world, but could only use basic words to illustrate it.
There are at the moment so several finish times prophecies that it can make your head spin. Virtually all of them don’t level to an specific lead to of the apocalypse, but the bible would seem to position to the undead many times
Revelation 11:6
These men have electrical power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with each sort of plague as usually as they want.
Revelation 11:8
Their bodies will lie in the road of the fantastic city, which is figuratively known as Sodom and Egypt, exactly where also their Lord was crucified.
Revelation 11:11
But right after the 3 and a 50 percent days a breath of daily life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck people who noticed them.
Ezekiel 37:10
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they arrived to lifestyle and stood up on their feet–a vast army.
The bible is rife with resurrection, the dead coming to life, and stories and illiterations to the stop of times. Perhaps, the plague God employs to wipe the earth clear is a plague of Zombies. You can also stage to conclude occasions prophecy references of Locusts and say that zombies could also be considered as a locust, devouring all life. At this point, all we can do is speculate and prepare. We don’t know how or when the globe will end, but we can be all set if it is survivable.
