Wideload and Aspyr today revealed their upcoming Mac, PC and Xbox title, due for release in the summer of 2005. It's a third-person action game titled Stubbs The Zombie in "Rebel Without A Pulse". The full press release is on Aspyr's site and will soon be archived here. As yet there is no additional material on the Wideload site.
So far, it seems as if the game will feature:
- brain-eating
- human possession
- explosive body parts
Here's what Alexander "The Man" Seropian had to say:
To us nothing has the sweet smell of success like rotting Zombie flesh," said Alexander Seropian, President of Wideload Games. "We fell in love with the Stubbs game concept because of the unique player experience and the potential of the main character. We are really enjoying bringing this concept to life... or un-death, as the case may be.
Wideload Games was founded in 2003 by ex-Bungie founder, and employs several other ex-Bungie employees.
UPDATE: We've archived the press release.
UPDATE: GameSpot has an exclusive video interview with Seropian, available streaming for all or as a download only for Complete members.

Wow. Sounds kind of like Res
Wow. Sounds kind of like Resident Evil. RE is one of my favorite games of all time. I remember renting the game, going to a friends house, turning off the lights, and getting scared half to death by a zombie.

In reply to: Wow. Sounds kind of like ResExcept in Resident Evil you're killing the zombies, instead of being the zombies... but yeah.
Think of it as a new genre: Survival Humor.
