Deadlight Dev Diary Travels To The 1980's

Deadlight Dev Diary Travels To The 1980's

Michael Jackson already did the whole zombies in the 80's thing

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 28 April 12 at 10:28

This summer, you'll be able to live out yet another zombie apocalypse on Xbox, specifically XBLA, with Deadlight. What makes this one different is that it's a visually striking side-scroller that takes place in the 1980's. It sounds different and it looks great. See for yourself in this new developer diary from the team at Tequila Works.



Deadlight is due out this summer on XBLA. Rumors indicate it will be a part of the Summer of Arcade promotion, but that has yet to be confirmed.

I like the style and direction of this but too bad it's another zombie game. I can see myself checking out the trial version though.

Gotta say, it does remind me of Prince of Persia retro + zombies. Looks amazing.

This looks like is has the potential to be fantastic, love how clear it was in the video that the dev team really care about the game.

Plus, zombies, so I'm in.

Given the lack of gameplay shown so far, I'm afraid this game is gonna suck hard like Bloodforge.
Very little gameplay was shown of Bloodforge leading up to it's release and it it ended up being a horrible game...
Microsoft must be hiding the gameplay for a reason.

The 1980's aspect is such a great idea the no cellphones except the huge backpack size ones that would cost close to 1000.oo dollars, walkmans, 8 bit generation mid 80's. I miss the eighties.. People were a lot more respectful and good horror movies.
