[pullquote_right]“The work AMC has done with the series has been amazing and we’re ecstatic at the opportunity to be brought into the fold.  The studio is made up of fans of the show, and we think other fans will see that the situations and walkers featured in our game are every bit as gruesome and shocking as they are in the series – they look, move and react as expected with full authenticity – and they will surprise you.  The player’s fight-or-flight survival instinct is constantly engaged.  ’Flight’ is usually a good bet.” Drew Haworth, Creative Director atTerminal Reality. [/pullquote_right]

Terminal Reality is attempting to recreate the experience of surviving the undead that has made Walking Dead such a popular television series and having that players be able to enjoy the same thing on their video game consoles.  Players will be able forced to avoid the which will be able to hunt players through their keen sense of sight, sound and smell.  While controlling Daryl, players will need to be careful while exploring areas.  Once discovered, players will be forced to deal with an unstoppable horde of .  As players will be presented  with the choice of staying and fighting off risking a horrific death or taking a stealth approach to avoid and keep themselves in tact.  Just like the television series, no place is truly safe for Daryl as he makes it through this post-apocalyptic world.

Resources are scattered and scarce throughout The Walking Dead video game and players will be forced to ration supplies and be well aware of their food, medical needs, ammo, and other various goods that will play critical roles in the players survival in their journey to Atlanta.  This story makes players face the difficulties of a world overrun by the undead.  Players will be also be required to endure constant danger and show intellect in the key to their survival.  This could be a great zombie title as the of this genre have become very popular in the last few years.  Incorporating an award-winning television series can only help create a game that will be sure to entertain players as they fight for their quest to survive.

  1. My father (53) has a terminal illness (he’s almost a year into a 3 months to a year prognosis). While he thinks he still has years, the reality is that it’s more likely less than a year.

    Over the years, he has manage to get himself into at least $75K of consumer debt and $9K of CRA debt. He is single and rents. The only assets he has is approximately $55K in lock-in RSPs. His income is approx. $5K/month (Disability CPP and non-taxable disability insurance). The debt is really weighing him down, and he has been paying approx. $3K/month towards it (well over minimum payments). However, he also wants to be able to live the best life he can. He’s thinking of bankruptcy and wanted to find out what other options he has. Any suggestions?

    I have a WII and was just wondering because Best Buy has the Activision – Band Hero super package for 149.99 (sale from 199.99) and RockBand is 199.99. This will be played on my 42″ tv. Please help…

    It’s basically the same game each year and people still buy it , they don’t even care that it’s the same game. I bet Activision laughing at all the people who bought their re-skin game.

  5. One that would run over the internet letting people buy cheap terminal clients capable of the essentials so they can run things they would need the latest PC for, and instead of spending thousands on a new PC, they would pay a subscription fee to use this service

    And where would I look at making this idea a reality, I know a fair bit about computers but I have no money, so I don’t know where I would start

  6. I know it’s a buyer’s market, but zombies are still a big concern when getting a good deal. Any tips on how to avoid buying a house with zombies?

  8. Hello guys, some of you may think that this is a false question, just to see peoples responses, if you do think this please just go back now i really don’t need the negative feedback.

    But yes this is my problem. I’ve been talking to this girl for about three months, she is perfect to me, and apparently i am to her. I love her to death, and i would do absolutely anything for her.
    What i’m going to tell you is 100% legitimate and if you think i am lying, please just don’t bother answering…
    Well, two days ago, i was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma, and the harsh reality is that it is terminal. My chance of survival is extremely minimal and i could possibly only have weeks until i pass. Please, and listen to me please, i am not here wanting people feeling sympathetic for me or saying i am so sorry to hear this. Yes indeed i am only 17 but, i am happy with what i have accomplished in life so far :) . I am a strong character and i’m not fearful of death, if it’s my time to pass, it is my time to pass, nothing i can change.

    My main question is, i don’t want the girl i love to know this, i really don’t. She will have to live the rest of her life remembering me, and i really don’t want to be that sort of burden.

    Can you guys give me ways or things i can tell her, that would completely cut off the feelings we have. I would rather her think that i am a completely ******** and despise me for a few months than her remember me forever.
    What can i say to her? Please just answer this question guys, thank you, it means a lot. <3

  9. and in reality you and the doctor know you have a terminal condition?
    I dont know the answer to this problem is, but I know for one thing that you dont borrow to pay a debt. At some point creditors will be knocking at your door.

  10. Does your mind create your reality. Can you “will” yourself better from a terminal illness when the drs have given up? Talked to someone who said they cured themselves of their kidney failure and even stopped dialysis with their mind. Really?!

  11. Has it been leaked yet as to what the “insubordination” and “breach of contract” entailed?

    I have a feeling that my Call of Duty 4 Key was stolen or something because whenever I attempt to join a multiplayer server, I get an “Invalid CD Key” message.

  13. It seems like Blizzard was a much better company without Activision. The only thing Blizzard got was a reputation of being greedy. They are probably going to release 5 expansion packs/DLCs for Diablo 3 and force people to buy it.

  14. because i hear that games like cod6 and guitarhero 5 that are huge are going to make a huge profit probably. There previous games are famous so im guessing that it might be a good choice b4 those 3months arrive. I’m 15 by the way. so is it a good idea to invest my money in activision or not, please tell me why or why not.

  15. It is so obvious now they are just using it as a cash cow rather than being innovative. This is ridiculous.
