Remember The War Z? Now It Has A New Name


Recommended Posts

It?s been a while since we?ve heard news about The War Z, the controversial online zombie game that was kind of a mess in just about every possible way. So today?s news is kind of interesting: the folks behind The War Z are changing the game?s name to make it less like that other zombie MMO, DayZ.

Now it?s called? Infestation: Survivor Stories, which really does sound a lot less like DayZ.

Thanks Roman!

Changing the name doesn't change the content.

I wish I had more time to play this and people to play it with!

 

This game got a lot of bad press for being released before it was truly ready but overall I still like it and the devs "seem" to listen to the community and are always trying to work on bringing in the missing features etc.

It had a hint of a rant in your post, ;)

I remember the game vaguely, Felt like that failed attempt at an 8 player resident evil game that was on an early console I forget which so I wasn't interested at the time

God, now I feel old.

Outbreak?

Although I thought that was just single player with multiple characters involved.

Could be, been a while

Split screen? Was supposed to have online capabilities but then were dropped just before launch?

It had split screen, not sure about the online element thought, apparently there have been only 4 true split screen Res evil games...

Resident Evil: Outbreak (PS2)

Resident Evil: Outbreak: File 2 (PS2)

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (Wii)

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles (Wii)

Ah. Lol. Nah, no ranting. I remember when this game came out awhile back and it was quite the cluster######. I thought some other people might be interested to know what was going on with it.

I kinda like what I've seen from your OP shame I can't get it, (I'm surprised my wife hasn't kicked me off this pc yet)

This is exactly why I don't read Kotaku. They've completely skipped the reason why it was renamed. It's not an attempt to sucker people into buying it because of the negative press. They were forced to because of a conflicting copyright name. The most obvious guess being World War Z releasing next week in cinemas. It's also not news, they mentioned this months ago.

 

Good ol' Kotaku :rolleyes:

    • That is $130 more than I paid for my 4TB a year ago. How is this a deal?
    • JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows by David Uzondu JetBrains has announced that JetBrains Air, its Agentic Development Environment (ADE) is now available for download on Windows x64 and ARM. You might not be familiar with JetBrains Air. It's this new desktop app that the company launched back in March 2026 to let developers hand off tasks to AI agents instead of writing every line manually. You can see it as more of an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) rather than a traditional Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The latter builds its features around a central text editor, while the former arranges everything around the AI agent itself. Here's how JetBrains describes it: Air was born from the ashes of Fleet, an experimental editor that the company quietly killed in December 2025 after realizing that competing directly with VS Code was a losing battle. The company repurposed Fleet's lightweight, modern architecture to build Air, transforming a basic code editor into a workspace for running multiple AI agents. When Air launched, it was only available for macOS. It wasn't until earlier this month that Linux users got a chance to play with the software. Now that Air is on Windows, you can do things like map out a complex feature in Plan mode and watch an AI write the implementation plan to a markdown file before writing any code. You can iterate on this plan, add references to specific classes or files, and choose whether to run the agent locally or inside an isolated Git worktree. Running agents in parallel means you can have Claude refactor a database schema in one branch while Codex writes tests in another, leaving you free to do other important things. You can even set up a pipeline where Claude writes the code, and Codex reviews it. At the moment, Air is free. If you have a JetBrains AI Pro or Ultimate subscription, you get full access to the built-in agents, though there's also the option to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to run APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. If you're interested, here are the download links for both x64 and ARM64.
    • Depending how you’re wiring it internally, but try to put it inside conduit, that way in the future you can more easily replace cables, compared to running inside studs alone At least cat6a too
    • I bet Meta has lots of info on you anyway, gathered by other means. And Google, and Microsoft, and every other tech giant. If you use some form of modern electronic device, they own you already...
