Has potential but we will see

Such a shame. If they gave it until the end of the year they could really polish this thing up. For now al the signs point to rushed cash in by Activison shocker...

Remember that fan-made trailer we all thought was real? While it wasn't an official trailer, it was in fact put together using gameplay footage. It's the same exact gameplay we saw at our preview session less than a month ago. It's hard to have any hope at this stage when Survival Instinct is due out in less than three months.

Terminal Reality's principle effects artist Glenn Gamble took to Eurogamer asking fans to not judge Survival Instinct based on "old footage." He states that the team has "made big strides" since the footage that was released.

If that's the case, this is the point where I have to say prove it. Unfortunately, it seems like they've only gone ahead and affirmed my concerns that the game is going to be super rushed; the second trailer released for Survival Instinct is a 19-second video featuring actors Michael Rooker and Norman Reedus quickly promoting the game. Sigh.

Let's actually recap the history of The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct for a second. On July 6, 2012, Activision announced its plans to make a Walking Dead game based on AMC's version of the story. A week later, Activsion went to San Diego Comic-Con where a small part of the publisher's booth featured the teaser trailer that didn't have any gameplay footage at all. Then, in August, I was given a PowerPoint presentation for the game at gamescom.

Towards the end of December 2012 is when we finally got to see real gameplay footage in-person at a hands-off preview. Several days later, that fan trailer was released, comprised of gameplay footage that was publicly shown in an interview with IGN Start.

And that brings us to the present, where Activision is just now announcing the Wii U version, with a second trailer featuring nothing but two actors talking about their roles, all three months before release.

I think I'm stating the obvious here when I say that none of this sounds good at all. Survival Instinct would have had a chance given several more months of development time. Given the state of how things are playing out, I'm getting nothing but feelings of déjà vu here.

You know what the real stinker is? Survival Instinct is most likely going to sell really well. The majority of the videogame-buying market doesn't pay attention to the online gaming scene. You people reading this are in the minority (still). AMC's The Walking Dead is one of the most-viewed shows on television right now, and it's that popularity that's going to get people to make impulse purchases once they see the game on store shelves.

Not to mention that Terminal Reality's version will be riding on the wave of success from Telltale's amazing efforts. Your average consumer won't know that there's two totally different Walking Dead games out on the market (three if you count the other iOS exclusive game). They're just going to hear that the Walking Dead game is great, unaware of the difference, and will end up being disappointed.

What a shame.

That's unfortunate considering that Telltale just proved that a great game can be made about TWD and Activision is going to ruin it.

Sucks that they haven't released any other trailers for the game, so we could actually see what the game looks like now.

Thats the reason why I expect the games not going to be anywhere near impressive. You'd think if they had something to show off they'd put that out instead of a 19sec clip of the actors.

This is Band Hero all over again. Another case of Activision trying to opportunistically poach gullible consumers who don't know any better with half-baked shovelware.

Also worth mentioning: Terminal Reality, the studio making The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, are responsible for the incredibly buggy mess also known as Ghostbusters: The Video Game as well as the recent slapstick comedy game Kinect Star Wars. What's that you say, Kinect Star Wars wasn't supposed to be a comedy game?

Oh dear.

I wish I could say the rest of the game is better than this, but the truth is that the dancing part of K:SW is probably the best feature of the game.

My advice: Keep those expectations in check.

Looks like Colonial Marines may have some competition for worst game of the year. This looks like an absolutely terrible game in every sense of the word and I love The Walking Dead too, what a shame.
