I read the book and it was great. I'm looking forward to the idea of a film, but I want to wait until more details are released (as in, how are they going to do this?) before I start jumping up and down. Although hearing that Brad Pitt might be involved has caught my interest, for sure.

UGH, the CGI zombie animations didnt seem very good looking. Looked a bit cartoony flopping around as they did in that preview. Also, why does it seem like zombies are getting faster and faster lol?

to me they looked 28 Days zombies...those are scarier imo

I absolutely loved the book. Read it in like a day on my honeymoon actually. Definitely looking forward to this just based on my love for the book. With that said, i tend to be disappointed when I love the book.

I prefer the fast zombies! But I agree that the zombies in this trailer looked a little cartoonish.

Oh the coincidence. I've just finished reading Max Brooks' Zombie Survival Guide ("prequel" to the World War Z book, that I'll start reading in the upcoming days), then I see this and all I have to say is "what the **** is this ****?!?" O_o

Sounds kinda good but honestly I'm so fatigued with Zombies that I don't think I will watch anything involving them for a long time.

it goes in fads...a few years ago it was Vamps and now its Zombies due to Walking Dead so next we are due... Leprechauns?

    • I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.
    • Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.
    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
