No, this wasn’t E3 but a private interview. We just decided to group it with E3 for easier reference.

    Awesome game

  13. IBKING91 July 27th, 2008 3:22 PM

    Love it so much

  14. IBKING91 July 27th, 2008 3:22 PM

    The game is really gritty to me, but not RE 5 gritty. Something that I always thought about

  15. IntelLover July 27th, 2008 3:24 PM

    Awesome. Time for PC

  16. IntelLover July 27th, 2008 3:25 PM

    They really should have put this on the PS3, I mean not like putting it on 360 (mod chips) or putting it on the PC will prevent the piracy. I wonder if there will be DRMs

  17. Bdog July 27th, 2008 3:25 PM

    Definitely DRM but for digital. I bet single is Secu rom

  18. Bdog July 27th, 2008 3:26 PM

    I love this game though. Awesome! Doug Lombardi is the man. Saw him 1nce with Gabe

  19. JoshDargie July 27th, 2008 3:28 PM

    Sweet game for sure

  20. JoshDargie July 27th, 2008 3:28 PM

    Cool stuff

  21. JoshDargie July 27th, 2008 3:29 PM

    I wonder who they’re sponsoring with. Definitely ATI since HL2 : Orange Box

  22. JoshDargie July 27th, 2008 3:29 PM

    Perhaps a PS3 version NOT by EA would be nice

  23. JoshDargie July 27th, 2008 3:29 PM

    I mean as if the Ports aren’t bad enough

  24. JoshDargie July 27th, 2008 3:29 PM

    Great stuff

  25. JoshDargie July 27th, 2008 3:30 PM

    Awesomely gruesome I think

  26. JoshDargie July 27th, 2008 3:30 PM

    Wonder if there’s any DLC

  27. JoshDargie July 27th, 2008 3:30 PM

    Oh he just said there is ….

  28. Lajk192 July 27th, 2008 3:31 PM

    of course DLC will be there

  29. Lajk192 July 27th, 2008 3:35 PM

    I really want to play thiss. I can’t wait for the review. It won best PC game, and you guys are usually consistent unlike all the other sites. It will get a good review for sure

  30. Lajk192 July 27th, 2008 3:35 PM

    Cool stuff on the new engine

  31. Lajk192 July 27th, 2008 3:35 PM

  32. Lajk192 July 27th, 2008 3:35 PM

  33. Memoryclocker July 27th, 2008 3:36 PM

    Ohh hell yes. PC game of the YEAR

  34. Memoryclocker July 27th, 2008 3:36 PM

  36. Memoryclocker July 27th, 2008 3:37 PM

    So 2 gigs is enough : ) woot. I have 4

  37. Pancakes July 27th, 2008 3:37 PM

    I love the art, glad it’s discussed in detail here.

  38. Pancakes July 27th, 2008 3:37 PM

    Like everyone, I want to play this also

  39. Pancakes July 27th, 2008 3:38 PM

    Give me the freaking game already! Hahaha

  40. RadianceGraphics July 27th, 2008 3:38 PM

    Love the graphics too. Cool

  41. RadianceGraphics July 27th, 2008 3:39 PM

    I just think that someone finally making this game has to be a genius. I mean 1/2 the battle is listening to the people

    This idea was SO obvious though. I had this since like 5 years ago. lol

    Vash63 replied on July 27, 2008 3:40 PM:

    Yeah, I kind of wanted a game like this ever since Dead Rising. DR sucked, but I wanted a horror survival that wasn’t TOO serious. I bet someone will make a gritty horror online survival

    RE 5 isn’t what I mean. I mean 4 player co op like RE 5. woaaahh that’d be so amazing

  42. atl_rg July 27th, 2008 3:40 PM

    RE 5 like realistic online experience like this, and it’s GOTY

  43. atl_rg July 27th, 2008 3:41 PM

    WhatIfGaming rocks. Love the interview. They’re real and not fake like cough GT or cough everyone else. About time these things got real.

  44. afirmitive July 28th, 2008 10:21 PM

    Oh, cool. Online mic support

  45. TidalSpiral August 16th, 2008 6:52 AM

    Very good interview… hopefully someone can talk to him again about 360 DLC. I heard somewhere they already had missions and content plans for post releases once L4D is out – my main curiousity is if we have a chance for more types of Boss Infected also. I think that would benefit the gameplay all around, creating more types than there are players to choose them. In that sense it makes things even more random for the survivors whose sole purpose is basically living through the differing levels of Hell. Just a thought but as it stands everything is shaping up beautifully. Can’t wait to tongue someone… the bad way.
