Above all the fuss over whether or not the first ‘trailer’ for The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct was actually a proper trailer or not (it wasn’t, it was a cut-up edit of code running in the background of a developer code) is the overwhelming impression that – regardless – this isn’t going to be a great looking game.
And, in the absence of anything meaty that might convince gamers otherwise, Activision have been left with little option than to push out a teaser trailer for the game. Teasers are often exactly that, but this one takes the biscuit.
Yep, that’s the teaser trailer. Not only does it not actually show any in-game footage, it also doesn’t show anything other than two of the actors from the TV series (Norman Reedus and Michael Rooker will both lend their voices to characters in the game) and the box-art.
Oh, and the release date: 29th March.
You know what, there’s a chance this might actually be alright. But it’s a very slim chance, and this is hardly helping.

This is going to bomb as it’s not COD thus Acti won’t bother to market it or market it with very little marketing and not support it as they have done that in the past with a lot of games. I really hope i’m wrong with this but sadly, i fear i will be correct. Plus 2 months before release without any gameplay footage is a very worrying sign.

It’s going to bomb as its gonna be crap.
The Lone Steven
That is what i meant. It seems Acti will not bother making a decent game if it’s not COD or WOW and will just half arse it. Even decent games haven’t recieved any marketing from them. :O I wonder if they are publishing Anarchy Reigns? As that could explain the lack of marketing for it.

Anarchy Reigns is published by sega fyi.

I really want this game to be crap.
I’ve not read the comi… umm, graphic novels… but I love the TV series. Only problem is I really don’t want to give Activision any money, and if this turns out to be good, then I have a problem!
