it still lacks the fear factor you get in zomboid. getting chased by hordes, being stuck in a room with a zombie banging on the door. going into a bathroom only to be attacked by a group of zombies that were stuck inside. etc.
Yes, but Zomboid has a ridiculous number of OP zombies from the get-go, to get a remotely realistic scenario where you’ve not just woken up from a coma to find everyone turned is… … well, you have to play with the settings a lot. That game had an easy intro, with only outdoor runners. I mean, you kill more zombies in your first pack in Zomboid than in that entire game!
@@denisucuuu I think they are referring to the fact that the standard Zomboid start where you wake up randomly in a house makes absolutely no sense. How did your character not notice that they are completely surrounded by zombies before then?
cant forget the fact that these guys were working on dead matter originally before the director of dead matter was scheming money, so these guys started their own game and company, Ramjet and vein

Very nice, but there is no way this is like project zomboid considering too little zombies, on zomboid if you shoot or fart a bit lounder, instantly you can get 15-50 zombies on you.
i played both (vein 33.2 hrs, Zomboid 345.4 hrs) and in my opinion its literally the first/third person version of zomboid but zomboid is way much more developed
It depends on your setting. But yes usually people would want to play with more zombies. Hopefully they will put in a setting as detailed as project zomboid
The only downside that zomboid have - ridiculous hearing since sneezing on high population in town is death sentence even when zombies have bad hearing turned on. Obviously staying behind lots of doors and walls does nothing and zombie hearing works on radius ignoring any obstacles.
It looks like a loot hoarding simulator, and the zombies are clearly an afterthought. If a "game" sounds like the inventory of a department store, then it's probably not a game.
If they ever make a fps version of project zomboid I wonder if people would like it. I honestly want a zombie game that takes place in a suburban / city area and fps
Yeah games like 7 Days to Die lag inanely bad with big hordes of Zombies, possibly cause of bad optimizations and with pathing in a voxel game. Other games like Days Gone have much better optimizations for their hordes of like a hundred zombies.
@@MrKingH8sUA-cam Honestly if a game is optimized well mediocre to bad systems should be able to run it decently. L4D and all valve games tbh are great examples of this. They look well have tons of on screen assets yet run good due to optimization.

realistically for zombie survival bases, you don't want any of your first or second thoughts, the best places to go are going to be easily fortified locations that don't actually have any supplies, so a library for example, as long as it's not a fancy one with lots of windows the idea is to avoid anything that people are going to flock to, where there's people there's either zombies or raiders, so obviously nothing commercial, grocery stores, malls, markets, etc, no warehouses and no home improvement stores, no restaraunts
Zombie survival bases should be far away from any pre-existing commercial centers. It should be somewhere rural, with lots of fertile land to farm, ideally with defensible terrain. If you could somehow set up the logistics for it, an offshore oil rig would be the best position

I’d really like to see a zombie game where, if you’re bitten/infected and you “turn,” you then get to play AS a zombie. I design board games, and back ~15 years ago I made a zombie survival style game. It was probably my favorite game that I made (but I only ever distributed it to a handful of friends). At its core it was a simple move around the board/ find shelter/ fight zombies/ get to extraction point game… but if people wanted they could get more involved in deeper, RPG-levels of detail, with tons of choice available to the players - especially in regards to deciding whether to work together cooperatively, or get competitive, or even blend the two and betray/turn on one another, etc. But I made sure to include the ability to stay on the board after you got infected, and then you chase around the remaining players, because I felt that was an important thing to bring to the genre.
Remake it on Tabletop Simulator, if you have it. You could end up with a wide audience that way, as people spread the game via word of mouth. I'd be down to try it, certainly.
I was thinking of something like a 3D project zomboid, but what i liked most about project zomboid is the art style, or even maybe the body animations. theres something cool and unique about seeing your character move and rummage through trash to find something to me. I dont mind the vulnerability problem, and it might even be fixed with this proposition. as project zomboid did, it was really bad at the start, still good enough to be enjoyable but compared to now, now is miles better. If there was a 3D PZ game, that had some sort of VR functionality in some way, a little like saints of the dead, but better, like building, etc. it would solve the body animation issue as you'd be the one animating, having to go down to trash piles or opening boxes to 'search' you'd not need a vision cone, as you'd have one naturally you can do actual first-aid on yourself, checking your wounds. the only thing i'd imagine being hard is things like mechanics and driving.
Things i want in a zombie apocalypse survival game: 1. Good base building ( not limited to buildables and can fortify a building) 2. Can horde and display stuff 3. Can pick up random stuff and display it at the base. 4. All furniture and stuff can be picked up I just want to satisfy my hoarder mentality in games. 😂😂😂
Ah I forgot about this game! This was made by devs from one of the failed/scam ones if I remember who left due to that game and its owner and made this so I can give them some patience with this tbh.
@@rtorbs Feel like I should clarify, this is being made by former devs of Dead Matter in their spare time, when I said patience I meant more to give them a chance, they have already done more than dead matter in that time and also not had any funding or backing so they are worth a watch to see what happens.
@@DungEater007 No that's cool, I just see a lot of posts aimed at indie Devs that seem to only allow one chance at something and then they're all branded scammers
@@DungEater007 i played it first at 0.002 or 0.001 and since then i need to say its developing further and further, the communication is pretty good and overall u get like weekly news on what theyre working on imo it has potential

I'm so glad you said "oh my god, shoes" because I did the exact same thing. Great video, game looks pretty cool. Like a slightly more accessible DayZ which would be fantastic.
I don't mean to compare and put down another game, but just out of value proposition reasons, this already looks a lot better than 'Mist Survival'.

@@eddb0i Well, these are Devs who worked on Dead Matter, which was a majorly ambitious idea, but the team or lead (or both) were far too incompetent to pull it off. So this is pretty close to that game, may have a few differences here and there, but same idea. Whether these guys are actually competent enough to pull this off is kinda beyond me, because I don't really know who was at fault for that last projects failure. But this is free, so no one's getting scammed out of any money here.
Admittedly I’m a sucker for these uploads comparing them to project zomboid. I bought the game years ago and have never been able to get a grip on the UI and controls. I’m a console and mobile game player because of a busy life with kids. I do play a few pc games, but the learning curve was just infuriating 😭 Ever since though, I’ve been looking for a similar game in any form that’s easier to “pick up and play”.
Yes. Adding a delay to each and every action (progress bar) was not the greatest idea. I know in real life it takes 1 second to open a cupboard's door, but it wasn't necessary to reflect it in the game... Also the reviewer is extremely slow and quite... "confused". Took him forever to drive a car among other things. Apart from that, the game seems to have potential, but I would say it needs extra work.
@@MrKingH8sUA-cam That comment is a deeper insight into your shadow self than it is for us. A strange level of projection is involved. I hope you're taking your meds and managing well.
People are trying to compare this directly to PZ and talking about how more advanced PZ is, PZ has been available on steam for 11 years, this game about a month or so, and that's not including development time pre-steam. It's very impressive where they are now, just imagine where this game could be in 11 years.
This game will be abandoned by 5 years 😂 this game is not unique in the slightest and would not have the loyal fan base zomboid has (plus the realism approach to graphics means this will look outdated. It already looks outdated) this game has nothing at its core. Working on it would be like trying to polish a turd
Can confirm that is ACTUALLY the entire movie for Night of the Living Dead, and that's INSANE for a game to have the ability to watch it. This game has SERIOUS potential, and the fact it's free is WILD....
I watched the video. But before I even watched it I already answered the video title question in my name.... NO it's not better than PZ... that game is insanely detailed and polished
You have cannabis in SCUM, you can plant it, smoke it, sell it. Also Day Z has it too. This game looks really desperate. Very ugly graphics, the animations are really dull, the sounds are lame. No wonder this game is free.
Zomboid is extremely hard to beat, but I'm always interested in zombie games that make it past the type of state Dead Matter has been stuck in. Also The Dead Linger, remember that one? Whew
If it's literally just First Person PZ then yes... it's going to be better... My one gripe with PZ was the top down, only reason I don't actually play it
@@XFauni I use to be like that. But I gave it a shot and I haven't put it down since I bought it. It's amazing I love it it's my new favorite thing to play everyday.
I found the combat controls to be infuriating. I couldn't get the character to do what I wanted because the control for movement and attack was so wonky.
@XFauni You're missing out on one of the greatest experiences in survival-horror due to your close mindedness. Give it a fair shot, and it may surprise you how much more immersive Zomboid is than 99.9% of its first-person counterparts.
“Is this f2p, early access, dayZ clone, asset flippped shovel ware, open world survival that’s like 10 years too late to the trend, better than project zomboid?” No, no it is not
Project zomboid has this feel to it that makes you emotionally attached to your characters. You write your own story and do your own actions. In my opinion it’s the best of the best.
I downloaded this to get a feel for the look and feel as well as gathering minor details. This game stands absolutely zero chance against Project Zomboid.
This will be great! I already tried it and even if we don't have too much content right now, it feels promising! Also it has a good team behind (of 2 people) !
U know why it looks sub par? It’s because of all the shit u can do and build/dismantle look at gta5 looks good but the lack of things u can actually do in game is absolute dog shit if u want great graphics the game is gonna lack things to do and build etc and if u have lower quality graphics then u can add a lot more interactive objects and things to do.. you must be either super young and don’t know any better or ur an adult just getting into gaming 😂😂😂😂 either way do some research ffs 😅😂
Games like PZ are absolutely perfect. Im so sick of them putting ao much into the graphics that every other factor is lacking. Games are supposed to look animated they arent suppose to look real idgaf about how real the game looks. But when you gotta go thru a house and dig thru the cabinets for supplies, thats top notch detailing to me. I miss when games were games. Not cinematic playable cut scenes. Thats what a lot of games are today unfortunately.
I love that the car chargers implies electric cars & motorcycles for stealth. I hope they're in the game. And speaking of chargers, also wonder if those combination hand-crank emergency radio flashlight 5volt USB charger things are also in the game, so you can charge your phone & flashlights on the go. I also hope there are RVs in the game or at least you can turn any truck into a mobile base like you said. Even better if we could change the powertrain, and put solar panels on the roof, to have an electric, solar powered motorhome. So many possibilities. Even put a generator under the hood to make it a Series Hybrid, so you have solar and fuel to power the vehicle, cooking, the heatpump/AC, lights, power tools, and maybe electrical defense systems & cameras for dealing with threats outside. Such a great game so far.
And speaking of stealth. Not only loud weapons, but turning down the TVs, implies they can lure zombies? And turning on room lights without covering the windows?

Moment he said fishing rod 10/10 game of the year
So strange how I read this the moment he said fishing rod lol this happens a lot on UA-cam I always see comments like I'm writing 😂
@@Chronic_Urb has happened to me to. very very strange lol
I hope it gets better. I tried it out a couple weeks ago, and I couldn't stand it. It has potential, but I'm sticking with Zomboid. Zomboid for life
@@Manterok zomboid and DayZ for me
I hope the game gets steam workshop in the future
Ah I forgot about this game! This was made by devs from one of the failed/scam ones if I remember who left due to that game and its owner and made this so I can give them some patience with this tbh.
Failed and Scam are wildly different imo......its not illegal to bail on a dog, doesnt mean everything a studio does is with ill intent
@@rtorbs Feel like I should clarify, this is being made by former devs of Dead Matter in their spare time, when I said patience I meant more to give them a chance, they have already done more than dead matter in that time and also not had any funding or backing so they are worth a watch to see what happens.
@@DungEater007 No that's cool, I just see a lot of posts aimed at indie Devs that seem to only allow one chance at something and then they're all branded scammers
@@rtorbs Yeah but is a copy of dead matter menu and graphics
@@DungEater007 i played it first at 0.002 or 0.001 and since then i need to say its developing further and further, the communication is pretty good and overall u get like weekly news on what theyre working on imo it has potential
They should add door kicking like state of decay so you don't get stuck like that 😂
Dang bro i love project zomboid but im more of a first person player so this game is perfect for me.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was inspired by not only Project Zomboid but also Cataclysm DDA.
Just downloaded this now because of your video. Props!
OMG thanks for giving this game the coverage it needs I can see so much actual potential in this and with the devs
4:52 Ah yes, the souless stare of the store assets... Not hating on it, I'm just getting too old to throw in the "this has potential", good luck to the devs keeping on pushing this game further.
Don’t be a coward, hate on it
I'm so glad you said "oh my god, shoes" because I did the exact same thing.
Great video, game looks pretty cool. Like a slightly more accessible DayZ which would be fantastic.
I don't mean to compare and put down another game, but just out of value proposition reasons, this already looks a lot better than 'Mist Survival'. I'll definitely be keeping my eyes on the further development of this game. Thanks for bringing this game to my attention.
I think I'll be doing a Jill Valentine build in this game 😅
this is my first time here, and your intro makes me feel like the pilot is doing his speech about stuff before takeoff.
I currently play zomboid and wished it was 1st person. Hope this game does good.
I like that its a little more filled and not as boring and empty like day z, and also that stuff is more logical arranged
this looks really cool!! but i'll come back to this game in a year or something, looks like still need things to improve
If they keep improving the game, they might really have something here. Love ya raptor
First 10 mins in and this game already seems pretty promising. I can’t wait to play it myself actually!
So this game takes place in N.Y. State. All counties listed on the television station are localized there.
If polished up, optimized and regularly updated, this could be "The day before" that we never got.
I've been jumping into this every few months for a couple years now it feels like and it improves every time 😁👍
2:07 The mods for hair in Cyberpunk are something unbelievable, the level of detail that some modders get is outstanding.
@@Neyenn thats what i thought, best so far. Clancys breakpoint is does it well too...
TAKE THE CANNABIS YOU SQUARE
Exactly if it's the apocalypse I'm doing every drug under the sun🤣
@@havoknkhaos91 right? like, if you're safe, what else are you gonna do? watch youtube?
@@bigboi9856Check the perimeter. Reinforce fortifications. Check and clear your sanitation trench, as you local water system isn't going to work for much longer, and without that trench, you'll be sitting in your own shit sooner than you think.
Anyone that thinks there's nothing to do, when you're living in a situation with no modern amenities, needs to turn off their phone and go volunteer at a farm. Up by 5am, working till 7pm. ALWAYS something you should be doing.
Nah I'm keeping my head straight. Potheads would definitely die.
@@grimstrife4338 You couldn't afford to be a pothead unless you were in some kind of safe haven or well established community. I don't think anyones toking joints between juking gangs of rotters lol
37:21 "HEY" that zombie clearly startled you I couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂
The hairstyles look like hair plugs or a really bad wig 😂😂😂 love the video gonna give it a try! Personally, I've been playing PZ for a minute now and ready for something new.
This has beaten The Day Before moment you began.
Its all up from here!
I had an absolute blast discovering I could just drive and drive and drive!! One of my favorite game moments ever was the original Mafia, discovering you could drive out into the country for miles!! The developers didn’t have to put all of that content into the game, but they did!
Sunny, no weather effects, evergreen trees - literally every single zombie survival game ever created.
It's way early in development you schmuck.
14:19 as soon as he was talking about sleeping and closing the windows i was like check those doors.. and he left the side door unlocked 😅
Looks nice. Everything that Dead Matter should be ;)
I'll stay in my Little corner here in Cataclysm: DDA... for the 'Details' that I keep getting sick and die because I keep my character from eating chocolate and candies, not protein or fiber-based plants....
looks and plays like a jankier 7Days2Die (which is janky itself) without the heavy emphasis on build/craft survival
@@eddb0i Well, these are Devs who worked on Dead Matter, which was a majorly ambitious idea, but the team or lead (or both) were far too incompetent to pull it off. So this is pretty close to that game, may have a few differences here and there, but same idea. Whether these guys are actually competent enough to pull this off is kinda beyond me, because I don't really know who was at fault for that last projects failure. But this is free, so no one's getting scammed out of any money here.
Shoes omg! lol that lives rent free in my head too.
everything seems to better then zomboid on youtube haha
i can see the zomboid inspiration thats cool
Admittedly I’m a sucker for these uploads comparing them to project zomboid. I bought the game years ago and have never been able to get a grip on the UI and controls. I’m a console and mobile game player because of a busy life with kids. I do play a few pc games, but the learning curve was just infuriating 😭 Ever since though, I’ve been looking for a similar game in any form that’s easier to “pick up and play”.
They seem better until you see it in action and then rather play zomboid.
@@butwhytho4858... why on earth will you pay zomboid on console ... is it even on console that has no early access option?
lol 1:50 you can be a firefighter, paramedic, jihadi, or police officer, sounds like a good game.
Picks peanut allergy and yet he leaves the canned corn behind lol
I've downloaded this demo a couple months ago.. very cool. Devs constantly updating. They have dev logs on UA-cam too. Great start to this gem!
No kill for 22 minutes is insane
Yes. Adding a delay to each and every action (progress bar) was not the greatest idea. I know in real life it takes 1 second to open a cupboard's door, but it wasn't necessary to reflect it in the game...
Also the reviewer is extremely slow and quite... "confused". Took him forever to drive a car among other things.
Apart from that, the game seems to have potential, but I would say it needs extra work.
So you're only interested in the killing part? Have you considered psych meds?
Maybe Call of Duty is more your mentality.
@@MrKingH8sUA-cam it's a video game, who cares?
@@MrKingH8sUA-cam That comment is a deeper insight into your shadow self than it is for us. A strange level of projection is involved. I hope you're taking your meds and managing well.
10:55 "in there bathroom" the pause of centuries 😭
People are trying to compare this directly to PZ and talking about how more advanced PZ is, PZ has been available on steam for 11 years, this game about a month or so, and that's not including development time pre-steam. It's very impressive where they are now, just imagine where this game could be in 11 years.
This game will be abandoned by 5 years 😂 this game is not unique in the slightest and would not have the loyal fan base zomboid has (plus the realism approach to graphics means this will look outdated. It already looks outdated) this game has nothing at its core. Working on it would be like trying to polish a turd
@@gigachadgaming1551 yeah people don’t just care about the graphics in games anymore that’s such a brain dead take lmao stfu and go play cod
OMG, shoes.. That brings me back 😂
37:36 bro casually shooting at a gas station 💀
Can confirm that is ACTUALLY the entire movie for Night of the Living Dead, and that's INSANE for a game to have the ability to watch it. This game has SERIOUS potential, and the fact it's free is WILD....
I watched the video. But before I even watched it I already answered the video title question in my name.... NO it's not better than PZ... that game is insanely detailed and polished
Just downloaded the demo I always gotta give these zombie survival games a chance
Wait- are you able to watch the entire movie? Lmao that's wild
Iam new 🙋🏻♂️ really pumped for this game vein! and i saw some manor lords on your channel will watch that after this one🤙🏼
"OH, we have cannabis..." hahaha I'M IN!
You have cannabis in SCUM, you can plant it, smoke it, sell it. Also Day Z has it too.
This game looks really desperate. Very ugly graphics, the animations are really dull, the sounds are lame.
No wonder this game is free.
@justinleeadams I heard that too and had the same reaction. Green fire enabled 😂
Sad.
Zomboid is extremely hard to beat, but I'm always interested in zombie games that make it past the type of state Dead Matter has been stuck in. Also The Dead Linger, remember that one? Whew
"Corporate needs to find the difference between these two occupations"
"Doctor"
"Drug dealer"
They are the same.
Looks like an awesome open world survival game
They need to add Male and Female option. Make the Male faces more masculine. Chest hair, muscles, height, sliders, PETS maybe?
I’m kinda shocked you made your character look like me lmao and I also have a peanut allergy 😂
Satisfactory failed to overthrow Factorio but you never know.
Dude Satisfactory is goated!
As someone with a few thousand hours in PZ....gotta say nothing will ever replace it....but I may or may not be just a little hooked on this lmao
If it's literally just First Person PZ then yes... it's going to be better... My one gripe with PZ was the top down, only reason I don't actually play it
@@XFauni I use to be like that. But I gave it a shot and I haven't put it down since I bought it. It's amazing I love it it's my new favorite thing to play everyday.
I found the combat controls to be infuriating. I couldn't get the character to do what I wanted because the control for movement and attack was so wonky.
@@joeydigrado382 Oh no I own the game lol just don't play it
@XFauni You're missing out on one of the greatest experiences in survival-horror due to your close mindedness. Give it a fair shot, and it may surprise you how much more immersive Zomboid is than 99.9% of its first-person counterparts.
He's not being close minded, some people genuinely dont like that style of game and thats ok.@MalcomHeavy
THIS is great, been playing for a little, if they continue it will be good
The answer is no... it is not even close to zomboid. It might be good with several years of development...
right before he said "we got the hank hill truck" i was thinking of hank hill because i saw beavis and butthead.. literally seconds before!!
The game is blurry and lacks contrast as heck while the UI is super sharp and contrast rich. They need to fix that game graphics.
It’s just a demo so chill ur tits 😂😂😂😂 shits not even in early access yet so there could be many changes along the way ffs 🤦♂️ 😂😂😂😂
Oh nice. Gameranx name drops this in their 'coming soon' lists every now & then
“Is this f2p, early access, dayZ clone, asset flippped shovel ware, open world survival that’s like 10 years too late to the trend, better than project zomboid?” No, no it is not
Project zomboid has this feel to it that makes you emotionally attached to your characters. You write your own story and do your own actions. In my opinion it’s the best of the best.
uh..... the zombie animation could use some love.
I downloaded this to get a feel for the look and feel as well as gathering minor details. This game stands absolutely zero chance against Project Zomboid.
"Marked as a demo"
*interest instantly evaporates*
Did you not grow up playing demos before the games actually came out??
So was 7 days to die technically. Any game marked "Early release" style is technically in demo mode.
this game is amazing i had to try it out glad it seems to have ambitious developers just needs to be polished and debugged :)
Seems more like a low res version of Scum
This will be great! I already tried it and even if we don't have too much content right now, it feels promising! Also it has a good team behind (of 2 people) !
this looks like a Playstation 1 game
ur fukin high kid lmao
U know why it looks sub par? It’s because of all the shit u can do and build/dismantle look at gta5 looks good but the lack of things u can actually do in game is absolute dog shit if u want great graphics the game is gonna lack things to do and build etc and if u have lower quality graphics then u can add a lot more interactive objects and things to do.. you must be either super young and don’t know any better or ur an adult just getting into gaming 😂😂😂😂 either way do some research ffs 😅😂
Games like PZ are absolutely perfect. Im so sick of them putting ao much into the graphics that every other factor is lacking.
Games are supposed to look animated they arent suppose to look real idgaf about how real the game looks. But when you gotta go thru a house and dig thru the cabinets for supplies, thats top notch detailing to me.
I miss when games were games. Not cinematic playable cut scenes. Thats what a lot of games are today unfortunately.
Id think in that truck with the door blocked you would have to remain silent in the rear and maybe wait until he moved away?
Nowhere close to PZ
Where's the gun?
7 days to die logic: In the toilet
I love that the car chargers implies electric cars & motorcycles for stealth. I hope they're in the game. And speaking of chargers, also wonder if those combination hand-crank emergency radio flashlight 5volt USB charger things are also in the game, so you can charge your phone & flashlights on the go. I also hope there are RVs in the game or at least you can turn any truck into a mobile base like you said. Even better if we could change the powertrain, and put solar panels on the roof, to have an electric, solar powered motorhome. So many possibilities. Even put a generator under the hood to make it a Series Hybrid, so you have solar and fuel to power the vehicle, cooking, the heatpump/AC, lights, power tools, and maybe electrical defense systems & cameras for dealing with threats outside.
Such a great game so far.
And speaking of stealth. Not only loud weapons, but turning down the TVs, implies they can lure zombies? And turning on room lights without covering the windows?
“Strange place for a bathroom” it’s a strange place for an electrical box too lol
