Was wondering, for the peeps who played the video game, were the blind zombies in the building a cool/important thing taken from the game? Was that something game fans would have been waiting to see? Not a previous gamer with this one. But if you check out the after episode (making of), the show creators share how they brought the game designers to review the makeup and performances. The game lead mentions how blown away they were. The humble Watcher lurking, davidpg and aardvark88 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodey Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Yeah, as someone who LOVED playing the game, it is so cool to see the elements in the show. The way the zombies walked and made the clicking noises to panorama of the city scenes. Dope The humble Watcher lurking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I played on the ps3 and remember them. You also had to double tap the head to kill them. This is the ps4 or ps5 version that was remade. s-man, Flanders82, Bosco685 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really liked the two lead actors ever since they were in GoT. Hide contents When I saw the guy-turned-fungi stuck to the wall I immediately thought of Pirates of the Carribean, except there's no Davey Jones in this. Just started the series, episode 1 down. Tense. Well-acted and produced. I knew NOTHING about the game but a few things happening were predictable. Still a very cool show, good acting and story. Will definitely stay on this series.

I prefer good stories and characters to nonstop onslaught of zombies, but I also agree that taking an entire episode out to introduce two new characters (who happen to be gay) develop their relationship over the years, then just snuff them out is... unbalanced. Ah well, ya' can't please everybody. Looking forward to the next episode. Microchip and I like pie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentbryan Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 There was only one thing that bugged me about this episode. You have this survivalist who we see makes a massive effort to secure and fortify his homestead however when the crappola hits the fan and the raiders attack what does this well-prepared survivalist do? Why, he runs right out into the middle of the street with zero cover! And gets shot. davidpg, Artboy99, I like pie and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing of the video game but a coworker who does explained that Bill is a character from the game who provides them with his truck. According to my coworker, the beginning and end of this episode follow the game storyline. The middle story gave a tale devoted to Bill’s backstory that is only hinted at in the video game and explains how they ended up with his truck.

davidpg Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I enjoyed the episode as well. After the two first met and he was welcomed into the house, I was trying to figure out whether they were going to make out of if Bill was gonna have his head smashed in by surprise while he was playing piano.

Have to admit, I was thinking the same thing! The camera was zoomed in real close and he wasn’t paying attention to his new guest. I was waiting for the hammer to swing!

drotto Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I have not watched episode 3 yet, and have not played the game. I liked not loved the first two episodes of the show, and I figured out why. It has nothing to do with the writing, filming, acting, etc. All of that seems fine. I guess I am just a little bit tired of the whole post apocalyptic zombie thing. I need the show to prove it can bring something truly new to this genre, to see if it elevates itself long term. Or is it just a slightly new take in a rather tired space. jcjames 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
