ZPS 2

[Captain Seasick]

Honestly, I'd rather see the devs focus on making a proper sequel (preferably using UE5 or such instead of Source) to the game instead of updating this one. There are precious few GOOD zombie survival games these days, since most are either survival games with zombies thrown in "just 'cause", or they're... well, just plain bad games.

Either way, I for one wanna see a sequel to this game! And one that ISN'T watered down OR that has any crappy RPG mechanics at that.

You should read this pinned thread.

Indeed I should have. lol

...I honestly have no freakin' clue how I could've missed that.

There was ZPS 2 - Contagion.
I prepurchase it for 10$ and devs abandon it

zps better than contagion and source 2 is better than ue5

Honestly sounds like vaporware to me. As much as I'd love a zps2, it just doesn't seem like it will happen. Too much competition now and a complete loss of name recognition due to contagion.

Even though I hate Contagion (+current state of ZPS) and probably by most of ZPS community, I don't think recognition would a problem. Both of those titles were quite succesful on Youtube, in meaning that there were a lot views... I mean geez, Pewdiepie played Contagion, Rooster Teeth too, UberHaxNova played ZPS, machinimas by G-Man Squad and Crackbone outrages still probably bring some clicks because of nostalgia...

If the devs knew how to use their brand, offered at least interesting product and made proper trailer... I mean look at the NMRiH2, 100k views on trailer and spotlight on IGN, some Punish channel with 150k. All that in 2024, a modification from 15(?) years ago with average player of 500+.

ZPS2 is possible, but yeah...

Nothing else can copy the janky of a Source Engine game. That is the most sad part of the sequel being running on Unreal Engine 4/5

Yeah, instead we'll have the Unreal jank of constant motion blur even when it's been turned off, weird network lag even with a super-fast connection, and my personal hate-favourite: INSANELY slow loading times!

You mean before the game got utterly bloody RUINED by all these idiots running servers using ♥♥♥♥♥♥ RPG mechanics, or the endless tirades of even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ "custom" maps designed by inbred tweens from Alabama?

'Cause if so: Yeah, I miss that time too, buddy. I miss it so. :(

lol I never played those servers. Only one I played (which I cant remember now) had a standard rotation with customs mixed in every once in a while. No RPG, just straight up vanilla. Eventually those died out and then the RPG ones took over. Only one I could even tolerate was the castle server.

What kind of muppet even wants that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ half-baked RPG trash in ZPS anyway? All it does is SEVERELY unbalance the game and remove any of the actual point of even playing ZPS. Those morons should all just go play some garbage like Vermintide instead.

source 2 is the most advanced best engine right now, makes sense for zombie panic SOURCE 2 to be source 2.
