Contagion isn't your average Zombie Shooter but instead takes a more realistic and different approach to the popular genre with unique characters, environments, weapons, items, and a built in system that makes every round completely unpredictable with resources, objectives, and paths ever changing. From the creator of Zombie Panic: Source Brian "Tatsur0" Comer we introduce it's spiritual successor.
Monochrome LLC is one of the Exhibitors at this year's Game Developers Conference in San Francisco to show off our Licensed Source Indie title "Contagion". We've been receiving an enormous amount of positive feedback from our videos at GDC and want to share them with our fans who couldn't make it.
Special thanks to the guys at Cho-media.org for editing.
There we go. Nice.
I think a game like this calls for more deafening and impactful gun sound effects.
I agree.
looks good!! except for the 45. the sight it to clunky and smooshed together like more like a square then a iron sight
******* AWESOME!
But why do the guns looks small like the MP5 and the pistol like really small
Can adjust settings in options if you feel that way, though obviously we prefer it as is. Scale wise and design wise they're nearly perfect and were redone repeatedly for accuracy alone. Glad you like!
Not bad stuff, looks promising. How far from finished would you guys say you are?
We're not looking at Valve time if that's what you're asking but we have a lot we want to complete but a good work flow so we're not concerned. Hard to say with the new Engine, features, polish, and marketing. Probably release sooner than most think and later than some are hoping for. A bit vague I know :/
Sounds fair to me, just keep up the work.
That we promise!
OMFG! This is just AMAZING!!!!!!
Wow, this is really great, it looks quite amazing, I personally think the guns look good and the sounds are decent (not BF3 quality, but hey, that is damn hard to do without FB2). Keep it up, normally I don't like zombie games that much, but this looks great.
BF3 Quality? B*slang alert* please.
Just take a look at BF3's weapons textures and model quality. Contagion's textures are more crisp, precise and they look like gunmetal, rather than plastic/dirt mix that is on the BF3's weapons. Then next - sluggish controls of BF3 will never beat the ones Valve have. Plus Frostbite 2 is a dumbed down engine, it could have been much better. I expect lots of minus votes though, considering you have 4 already.
On the Contagion itself - everything looks cool and polished for time being, but the weapons don't have much enough sway and that renders ironsights useless, as they are as accurate even in foresight. I might be on your nerves with this, as I wrote the same thing in 3 comments already.
2nd thing would be too strong meelee. Zombies are slow, but when they are close to you, you're practically dead (I'm not saying this from experience). So, why meelee just takes 2 hits to kill a zombie, when it doesn't have senses of pain, and a human couldn't be killed with 2 punches, I think 5 could be rather not enough.
I am extremely happy with you guys being in such a big event as this game convention. I would feel so good for having got an achievement like this. Congrats!
P.S. The chained door and the hands having actual animations with doors is so awesome! I want to learn how to do the latter part, I hope there's a tutorial on the internet.
Appreciate the compliments and wish we had the resources that BF3 had (who wouldn't?) I personally think the game looks fantastic. As for melee, again this comes down to head shots by someone who plays 16 hours a day but we haven't even hit our balance or polish phase. Using melee usually means you're going to get hurt and with more than 1 zombie death is almost certain. It is a last resort attack that you can only get away with if you have the health and team support.
And what about Dukem Nukem-style kicks? I mean, that would be more last resort than a punch to the greasy and dirty face of a zombie. At least a roundhouse kick, please?
I meant the sounds, the guns themselves look quite amazing, I was saying that the sounds don't match BF3 sounds. Also, by the way, FB2 is very much not dumbed down at all, in fact the console and pc versions are extremely different. DICE put in a hell of a lot of time into making FB2 awesome and the graphics amazing, and they are. I was never making a comment on controls or textures at all, purely on sound and the part about looks was purely a compliment. I personally think BF3's controls are fine (and they are not dependent on the engine at all, something few people seem to know) and I think their guns are good looking and overall graphics better looking than everything else, save maybe for Crysis 2. FB2's sound editor is what makes their sound so damn good, and Source just doesn't have that but the sounds are still very good here regardless. Graphics-wise, this game does not look as good as BF3 because it would be practically impossible without a few million dollars to spend, but they still look great. Do some real research on the things you claim to know (controls being affected by engine and FB2 being dumbed down).
Are vehicles driveable? Because i saw some pictures of vehicles on this mod.
this looks so fun, I hope theres a release this year :-)
I do believe you mad bro.
It's obviously only a little part of the game and as we could see in the past: there's not much campaigns done (if we can call it like that).
It's will probably not be for this year !
Don't want anyone making assumptions one way or the other. But quite a bit more work is done than what Groupyl has led himself to believe and the release date is still TBD. We won't rush the game out but hope to get it to you guys as soon as we can without sacrificing quality.
I hope you guys do a remake of Biotech. This feels so different from the Zombie Panic: Source mod, but I think I'll like it when I get the game. Will there be four packs available, and what are the last names of the two main characters? (Thinking of making some fan fiction)
We revealed the names of all 4 characters currently revealed in our Showcase trailer - Moddb.com but their names are:
Eugene Grant
Marcus Lewis
Nicholas Glenn
Tony Richards
Anyone else check their phone when the vibrating happened first?
looks so much more frantic and fast paced than zombie panic source
Very good!
levels look empty, strange because the zombies attacked and must be human corpses and blood on the walls
Only in Alpha stage and already looks more enjoyable than Nazi Zombies, Dead Island, L4D (only my opinion, don't hate)
The only problem I see is that the viewmodel fov is rather odd. Bring the arms closer :P
This looks pretty cool. I'm sure my husband would enjoy playing it. He likes to play video games every one in a while.
