‘The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct’ Releases Today: Watch The Launch Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Just two days ago, we showed you the uninspired opening cinematic for Activision’s The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. Today, the game released in North America, and the company has unveiled a launch trailer to excite fans.

 

Watch the new trailer below, and let us know what you think! Before you buy the game however, note that no reviews for the title have been published yet, which is never a good sign.

 

If you bought the game anyways, let us know how it is!

 

 

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is a do-whatever-you-need-to-survive first-person action game that brings the deep, character-driven world of AMC’s Emmy®Award-winning TV series onto console gaming systems and the PC. The game follows the mysterious, crossbow-wielding survivor Daryl Dixon, brought to life by TV series star Norman Reedus, alongside his overbearing brother Merle, voiced by Michael Rooker, on a haunting, unforgiving journey across the Georgia countryside. Players will need to tread carefully on this desperate quest, scrounging for food, water, and ammunition to survive against nightmares both living and undead.

Watch The Opening Cinematic From ‘The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct’

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is just a few days away from hitting store shelves. Today, the opening cinematic featured in the title has been released online.The cinematic is a clear homage to the opening credit sequence from the AMC series, but with one obvious difference; this one looks terrible.

 

I sure hope this game has some personality; from what we’ve seen so far graphically, Survival Instinct is nothing to write home about. Watch the cinematic below, and let us know what you think!

 

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct releases this Tuesday, March 19th. If it stinks, and you’re hankering for an awesome undead experience, I’d wholeheartedly recommend Telltale’s adaptation of The Walking Dead, or Ubisoft’s ZombiU.

Go Behind The Scenes Of ‘The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct’

We’re now just two weeks away from the launch of Activision‘s The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. The publisher has released a cool behind-the-scenes video featuring Michael Rooker and Norman Reedus, talking about the title and their involvement with it.

 

Last month an official gameplay trailer was released for the game, and while vastly improved from the early gameplay footage we saw in January, Survival Instinct is still looking rather generic to me.

 

Only time will tell how this one will turn out. The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct launches on March 26th for Xbox 360, Wii U, PS3, and PC. Watch the new video below, and let us know what you think!

Watch The Official Gameplay Trailer For ‘The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Last month, an unofficial trailer made its rounds, composed of early footage from The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. The footage was rather underwhelming, and as such, I’m glad it was both early and not official.

 

Today, Activision released an official trailer for the game, featuring plenty of gameplay, some impressive voicework, and a general idea of just what the game will look like. I’m still not sure that I’m sold on the title, but I’m much more open to giving it a chance after this trailer! Check it out below, and let us know what you think!

Preorder bonuses for the game have also been revealed, and out outlined below!

 

GameStop Herd Mode Challenge – How many frenzied flesh-eaters can you survive against before joining their ranks? Take on endless waves of walkers, each more dangerous than the last, in the all-new Herd Mode. Each wave of undead held off brings with it a new outbreak of hungry biters and new opportunities to rack up an even higher score.

Amazon Walker Execution Pack– Give yourself an edge (or five) with this ‘unique’ weapon kit. The Amazon Walker Execution Pack adds multiple melee options to your arsenal, including a survival knife, sawtoothed machete, kukri, reinforced hatchet, and advanced machete. With ammo scarce and the undead attracted to loud noises, a sharp, silent blade might just be your most trusted companion.

 

So what do you think? The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct releases on March 19 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, and March 26 for Wii U.

‘The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct’ To Release In March!

by Derek Kraneveldt

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct just got a release date. Activision today that the anticipated FPS will find its way on (and likely flying off) store shelves on March 26th (March 29th in Europe).

 

Also revealed today is that Wii U owners won’t be left out of this zombie apocalypse. The gameplay will be identical to other versions of the title, but Wii U owners will get a more elegant inventory system thanks to the large touchscreen on the Wii U controller.

 

Gameplay footage for the game was released a few weeks ago, and while the trailer turned out to be fan-made, it still gives a pretty good indication of what the game might look like:

 

I really hope the video above featured some very early footage. The game is just a few months away, and at this point looks pretty underwhelming.

At least if it’s bad, there’s another Walking Dead game that’s already available! Are you looking forward to this one?
