Angry Fans Call Out ‘The War Z’ Dev For Misleading Steam Description

Gamers sure are a vocal bunch. Good thing too, because this time around a group of players have found developer Hammerpoint Interactive’s description of the Steam version of The War Z to be more than a little deceitful. Yesterday, the game made its way to Steam, and it looks like the dev might have fibbed in the features they said would be in the Steam version, leading several players to go so far as to request its removal from Steam. More after the break.

From the Reddit thread, which is on its way to reaching 2,700 comments at the time of this writing:

Regarding the first point, Hammerpoint has called this version of the game a “Foundation Release,” which means its been improved over the beta version, and will continue to be tweaked in the coming months. I haven’t played it yet, but I’m interested. However, this doesn’t look good for the game or its developer. Hopefully they can get this smoothed out before it does too much damage.

Anyone here played The War Z yet, and if you have, what do you think of all this?

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
