In a recent Reddit AMA, OVERKILL revealed some new details about its upcoming The Walking Dead game. According to the developers, their main focus for the game’s E3 2018 build was its gameplay and how to make it fun.
Now since a lot of players complained about the stiff animations, OVERKILL stated that it is currently working on optimization and on polishing the animations of NPCs and enemies.
The game will also be friendly to those that want to experience the game in solo mode. Its difficulty will adapt to the size of the player party, meaning that if you play 1, 2, 3 or 4 players, the difficulty will scale accordingly.
OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead is powered by Unreal Engine 4 (tweaked with OVERKILL’s own technologies for randomization to offer a fresh experience every time you play; and their own lighting system to give it its own identity), will not support cross-platform gameplay, there won’t be split screen coop, and its closed beta will go live in the weeks leading up to launch.
OVERKILL also stated that there won’t be loot boxes to the game as they don’t fit it.
Last but not least, OVERKILL stated that although the specifications on the Steam store page are subject to change as they optimize, they have decided to put them in the high end to ensure that any potential changes will mean that more people can play it, rather than fewer. And while the game may work on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, OVERKILL will only officially support Windows 10. Below you can find these official PC requirements.

” loot boxes and more”
ok no thanks
Read the article, dingus.
hey when i read “lootboxes” and “zombies”, i dont even bother reading the article the fact this is another “coop mp game” is just extra on “no thanks im done”
No lootboxes in Overkill’s TWD
Too lazy to read, but not enough to stop you from making an stupid comment.
I read it and i found it its a “mp coop” game, add that to “zombies” and i dont care. Didnt change much, the game is slightly less cancer than it was before.
So, you said you’re read it, then comment something opposite of what the article says… and then reply someone else that you didn’t read it. Yeah…. ok…
This is either FND or Durka I’m guessing? I can’t tell since I blocked their dumbas-es after they failed to bring any sort of real evidence against what they were claiming about Life Is Strange. Just block them. They’re absolutely worthless and incapable of making clear and concise points without bringing up ten other things that have nothing to do with what you’re talking about or misinterpreting things you say.
Dude -> “The game will also be friendly to those that want to experience the game in in [solo mode].”
AND
“Its difficulty will adapt to the size of the player party, meaning that if you play 1, 2, 3 or 4 players, the difficulty will scale accordingly.”
Other than the animations which can be changed this is pretty much L4D4 for me. I am pumped since Zombie games are my jam, personally I can’t wait. So many epic Zombie games coming out, good times.
lmoa you are seriously that lazy to read one sentence?
The dev confirms the game won’t have lootboxes
Don’t be surprised that Durka didn’t read what the article said, or if he did read it he doesn’t have the reading comprehension to understand what he’s reading. Business as usual.
Lmao, talk about a game that’ll be dead on arrival.
not having cancer is now a feature?
wow, vidya is truly dead…
Looks like , fan made zombie mode to The Division…
I really had a bad feeling about this game when the first articles came to DSOG, and it looks like my feeling was warranted. If your game is coming out the gate with stiff animations this far into the process and also “figuring out how to make it fun” this far in, it’s doomed.
I don’t think they’ll be able to fix anything they’ve said they will fix plus adding in the fact that the Closed Beta is “Weeks” ahead of the launch and not “Months” ahead and we have a hurricane of trouble coming our way.
Why?
-> “there won’t be loot boxes to the game as they don’t fit it.”
…? They stated there will not be loot boxes in the game, did you read the article?
Dude it happens I have done it too, all good 🙂
Good god. I would want my name stricken from the credits if I’d had anything to do with this pile of garbage.
Looks like a high school project gone sideways.
We need to start being more inclusive and tolerant of the undead.
