There will be a free prologue for They Hunger; woot!

[DEATH eVADER]

I guess there is a dampness to my spirits the longer I wait for They Hunger: Lost Souls to be released (Hoping there is some news around E3), s I browsed around their site, and they had a 2 page preview on the game, including stuff that I have didn't know the game will contain.

From the sounds of things, they are trying to make the game a lot more gritty and intense, and generally forces players to go close-range to do the most damage.

What did make me happy is that they will be releasing a prologue game before the first episode; for free!

I wonder if they will be using the latest source build to bring out the dynamic shadows, color correction and post processing stuff.

Cool, I guess.

Played a little bit of the first game on HL1 a few years back, don't really remember it much.
Might give it another go.

No HUD and iron sights? Have to admit I'm a bit put off by that. I thought the original games were tense and frightening enough without forcing these kinds of restrictions onto the player.

Sounds good. Looking forward to it coming out.

It's a well known societal fact that people don't use iron sights when killing zombies. It's also a known fact that 89% of bullets fired at zombies don't end up in zombies.

It's also a known fact that 932% of percentages are made up.

It's a known fact that known facts aren't really known facts.

Has this thread turned into a statistical analysis of how Zombie genre games should be played. I suppose this thread will soon become a left4dead thread
