"Lately we’ve been playing with some cool Undead character customization options and PvP mechanics that we hope will make UDO a lot more interesting than a typical zombie shoot ‘em up."

This will arrive in the URDEAD: Y U PK ME? expansion.

Excuse me? Don't flatter yourself. The market needs GOOD zombie games, instead of all the crap thrown at it.

Sadly...This doesn't look to be the zombie MMO savior either. Hopefully undead labs does zombies some real justice.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I was just pointing out that myself, and most of the people I know, were tired of zombie games years ago. There is a reason this fad died. Let's not regurgitate the same story again.

         So since you and your buddies became bored of zombie games that must mean the rest of the world has too? And what fad? Zombie lore has been apart of countless cultures since the dawn of civilization. The world is bigger than your backyard, hate to break it to you.

         Derek39 has it right the genre desperately needs to have some quality interjected into it since all we have right now is quantity and a whole lot of it. This title certainly did peak my interest with a few innovative features for multiplayer like the infection chance (brings me back to my days of playing Zombie Panic Source). I won't go so far as to make a judgement call on the success or failure of the title because its still being DEVELOPED and like a sane person I realize I can't predict the future.

         Or I could jump on the "hate band-wagon" like most of you and crap all over every new title announced; then I could complain about how monthly subs, B2P, F2P, PVP, PVE, RvR, NPC's, PC's, stats, quests, leveling, item drops, cash shops, dungeons, raiding, party systems, auction houses, zombies, elves, robots, ninjas, nazis and life in general is played out and we need something new...The only thing gaming needs is a new customer base because its current population is rife with spoiled brats who want everything but aren't ever happy with anything.

Zombie MMOs are sort of a hot topic these days, and lots of companies seem to want in on the action. Today, we're presenting a novel take on the genre, URDead Online. Being billed as a "small scale online role-playing horror game" or SSORPHG, URDead has quite a few interesting design ideas that seek to set it apart from the throng of zombie shooters out there.

URDEAD Online (UDO) is something we’re half-jokingly calling a SMORPHS: Small-Scale Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Horror Survival (the “Game” is silent.) As our tidy acronym implies, UDO won’t release with the scale of bigger MMOs. We just don’t have the manpower to create dozens of areas; instead, we’ll release new areas as we polish them and feel they are ready for players to be eaten in. Second, UDO is a survival game.  When out in the world, players will want to stay aware of their character. They’ll need to eat and drink whatever they can find to stay effective, scouring for weapons, ammo, crafting materials, and other necessities – while fighting to stay alive. Banding together will have big advantages in certain situations.

Read the rest of our Interview with URDead Online's Greg Breault.

Yawn. At least War Z created something worth cloning. Seriously though, why is "you are" hard to spell? Why perpetuate the degradation of the English language? I mean, we already have rap for that. We don't need games to do that as well.

Because they have to.

The War Z was the clone.  It was ripping off DayZ.

Glad I could clear that up for you.

Even the lettering is unoriginal. With that said I will reserve judgement till I play it if I do. You never know...

That, and English just might be his or her second language. No reason to be a tool. Ohh wait, you proly play WarZ.

Yeah, like elves and wizards and rolling green hills with deep, dark caves in them!  Muscle-bound meatheads being fawned over by half-naked female toons while slaying 3-headed trolls/dragons/rock formations.  Y.A.W.N.  There's only one utterly saturated theme in MMORPGs and it ain't zombie games.  Yet.

         Derek39 has it right the genre desperately needs to have some quality interjected into it since all we have right now is quantity and a whole lot of it. This title certainly did peak my interest with a few innovative features for multiplayer like the infection chance (brings me back to my days of playing Zombie Panic Source). I won't go so far as to make a judgement call on the success or failure of the title because its still being DEVELOPED and like a sane person I realize I can't predict the future.

 

         Or I could jump on the "hate band-wagon" like most of you and crap all over every new title announced; then I could complain about how monthly subs, B2P, F2P, PVP, PVE, RvR, NPC's, PC's, stats, quests, leveling, item drops, cash shops, dungeons, raiding, party systems, auction houses, zombies, elves, robots, ninjas, nazis and life in general is played out and we need something new...The only thing gaming needs is a new customer base because its current population is rife with spoiled brats who want everything but aren't ever happy with anything.

 

Me, my buddies, random guy walking down the street agree. The zombie fad is dead. Let it go. Drop the hate. No one is going to a take a game where they can't even spell You and Are. It's really a moot point how bad the game will be because most people will be turned off by the title alone. See this thread for examples.

        I will re-iterate the world is bigger than your backyard. You, your buddies and the random guy walking down the street do not constitute the bulk of the consumer base, no matter how much your ego thinks it does.
        

        And its ironic you would tell me to drop the hate after you bash an entire genre simply because you don't like it. You know virtually nothing about this game except what you read in this thread (the only one covering this title so far) so drop the ignorance. Also I wonder did you also bash the Left 4 Dead series simply because they used the number 4 instead of the word For? URDEAD is obviously a play on the word UNDEAD, but you keep judging books by their covers because we all know that always works out well.

        If I were to choose what games I play based upon the general consensus of peoples opinions in this and most threads on this site I would be left with what? A whole lot of nothing.

There's how many high fantasy games out?  The zombie game genre has barely been touched, and people keep going on about all the zombie games out there. 

DayZ isn't an MMO, and WarZ...well it exiists.  Where are all these zombie mmo's people are sick of?  I can think of like 5 single player zombie games, and left 4 dead accounts for 2 of them. 

I could spend the next day and a half listing all of the fantasy RPG's out there. 

It's like a bunch of grown men who are in love with my little pony have taken it upon themselves to wage a propoganda war, and convince everyone that no one likes zombies.  You guys are wrong, and giant frigging weirdos to boot.

Zombies ate my pony.

There's uh like more than 5 zombie games just in Resident Evil. If you're going to stand up for your "genre", then put more effort into it. Granted most of the RE games are older, and yes there's a crap ton of fantasy mmorpg's. I will also add at least those fantasy RPG's have "zombie" in em, this is probably like a sub genre within a genre.. By all means dude, I'm sure this will have it's flock of 13 year olds who've talked some random 40 year old single parent to playing with them which will keep it afloat, and feel free to join them but this will not be the injection of quality into the "genre" which it needs, not with a name like URDEAD, and not with first gen playstation 2 graphics (and that's cutting it some slack). I could be wrong, but I didn't downcast Minecraft and the graphics were way worse. In the event this blows up into like Pokemon success levels, I'll eat an ice cream in it's name, and honor it's glorious battle against the odds it has yet to wage. (Srsly, zombie died in the 80's along with zombie gore flicks, which was more comedy than horror.)
