Ok just played. Maybe you should make this thread a feedback for feedback thread as your asking for some help that way more people may look at it. Overall not bad there are some problems though that might need adjusting. Also i don't know how old it is but i don't think it was the first open world zombie shooter as mine was published ages back and before that i played a small open world top down zombie game, just thought i'd mention that. Okay first thing i would change would be to turn all fabric and orange wood used for buildings material for walls into something that looks more like you'd find in a city like brick or rock or concrete. The map seems to be okay i espesially liked the firy cracks in the road and the road it'self. The other thing i liked was the animation for the weapon i thought it was done well. Mayby a darker look as if nearing night time and some lighting here and there would also be good. On my first go within 30 secs in my weopon broke and i couldn't shoot so had to reload. You might want to put a material tweaker on that and set it to indestructable. Ammo was way too low as i ran out in no time and got swarmed. I couldn't figure out the melee either you may want to ad it to Circle or Square or at least show a slash or something when it happens. The character dies way too easy as there are far too many zombies near the begining. Most people wont bother replaying a second time after dying so early on. The controls for the character aren't awfull though a health bar and ammo metre might be agood idea. Seeing as it's still a beta i'm thinking thats why the models aren't so great but i'm sure thats something you could work on in the future as it doesent reallly spoil the fun. I would suggest the playable characters would be best if they emitted when players spawn rather than just standing there. Health packs would also be a great idea as your character is easily killed. Seeing as it has objectives you should try to implement a way of showing players where the next objective is as the map is pretty big. The one thing i did really enjoy was the end, i won't say what happens as it will spoil it for other players. You should build this in chapters. Maybe have a level that has a title menue and chapter select option then have multiple level links for each chapter of the game each with their own maps and interesting enemies that way it should work better if you want to build a story into it that can progress over a few levels.. Like i said before not a bad game the idea is solid and gameplay seems to be reasonable. Good job keep working on it and it should go far I hope i have helped. If you improve any aspects of your level just inform me and i will be happy to test it if i have time.

I think I might try this out..... for a really good reason too. Fun Fact: When Dead Nation first came out on PSN, I believe it was late November of 2010. Anyways, I, LoVeRiCe, was rank number ONE zombie killer in the whole entire world for the whole month of December and I quit after seeing that no one could beat my record, came back 5 months later.... sadly, I'm rank 20 now =(. If you check the leaderboards there, you can still see my name in the top rankings, dated back last year. Trust me, it was a curse, I had over 600 friend requests in that single month alone.... I still get them now from time to time. I believe I'm still the only person who can beat the game without shooting a single round of ammo and in under 50 minutes. So playing this game will bring back some memories, I was planning on making a Survival Zombie game similar to Dead Nation, but then again, I wanted to be more original. I want to see how much of a replica you've made of this game. Be prepare for my critique.
