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:

    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
