I’ll be honest with you. I don’t get the sports. The football sports, the soccer sports — I don’t understand the appeal of any of it. About a month ago I found out there’s a position in football called a tight end, and I’m still getting over it. I’ll be writing up a post about The Last of Us when it’ll suddenly hit me. I’ll have a good laugh as I think about all those manly men, men’s men, who are hootin’ and hollerin’ as someone who has ‘tight end’ on their resume attempts a 360 degree snapshot barrel roll. Or whatever.
All that is a long-winded way of my saying that despite its dumb name, #killallzombies — that’s right, if you disliked numbers replacing letters in some titles (F3AR, Se7en), hashtags may be the next annoying trend coming our way — shows a world where mowing down the undead hordes is a sport. Like, one they telecast and everything. Finally, a sport I can get behind.
The coolest thing about this game comes when it’s being live-streamed. On Twitch, viewers will be able to vote on in-game events that can spawn more hordes or trigger arena events. They can also enter chat commands that affect gameplay in various ways, like temporarily reversing the game controls, making this a true spectator sport.
No word on a release date, but when it does arrive, #killallzombies will release exclusively on the PS4.
