‘Dying Light: The Following’ is ‘Mad Max’ With Zombies
2015 was a transformative year for Techland’s zombie genocide simulator Dying Light. The game has evolved, gradually, via incremental updates that have introduced new features, content and additional polish, as well as paved the way for the epic story expansion that is The Following.
On February 9, Dying Light will get a huge new map and story campaign in its most ambitious DLC to-date. The Following will effectively double the size of the original game, and while that’s certainly exciting, it’s not quite as exhilarating as outfitting a weaponized dune buggy with flamethrowers and spiky bits so you can haul ass into a sea of walking corpses to see what it’d look like if Leatherface got angry with a platter of cherry Jell-O.
If you told me you weren’t excited to do that, I wouldn’t believe you.
I might understand your not matching my level of pumped-up-edness, and that’s okay. We can fix you. All you need is for me to properly explained just how extremely awesome these zombie murder buggies are going to be. Dying Light is treating them like the weapons they very obviously are by giving us the ability to customize our dune buggy with paint jobs, bobbleheads, charms, flamethrowers, electrical cages, UV bubbles, spiked ramming bars and remote explosives.
There will be blueprints to collect, new parts to find — like better engines — and they’re even introducing a new Driver skill tree so you can maximize your road rage potential.
Dying Light: The Following releases on Feb 9 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
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.
