Zombies!!! @ Consolas

Atención, atención!!!!

Vayan preparando sus bates de beisbol, las motosierras y las cartas de Comida Alternativa, por si aun no se habian enterado Zombies!!!, si si, el de las series mundiales es un firme candidato a aparecer en sus pantallas consoleras (o de PC).

Las dos debilidades de este humilde blog en un solo producto.... ¿Cumplirá las espectativas? ¿Habrá graficos que hagan justicia a algunas cartas? El hecho de que vaya a ser un desarrollo para el XboxLive o el PSNetwork no dice mucho a su favor, pero bueno, no nos pongamos la venda antes que la herida. Las soluciones a esta y otras muchas preguntas, en unos meses.

Os pongo el texto del anuncio de Twilight Creations, porque no sé si desaparecerá de su web, no he encontrado un link permanente.

PD: A nivel empresarial Zombies!!! ha demostrado ser todo un exito, si os fijais, las ventas son:
1ª parte 125.000, todos los productos: 300.000, lo que quiere decir que de media cada transtornado que compro Zombies!!! ha comprado al menos una de las expansiones, y bastantes, al menos dos. Aunque haya algunos insanos que hayan comprado todas :-)




Really BIG News!!!
Hey Now,
For a while now there has been great speculation about a Zombies!!! video game. Well, if you have been waiting for something official, Here it is:

Zombies!!! to Become Video Game

The immensely popular Zombies!!!® Board Game is set to hit the video game world in 2009. Twilight Creations, Inc., the publishers of the game, has reached an agreement with Big Rooster, LLC, an entertainment software company, to develop the Zombies!!! board game into a video game property.

Initially the game will be developed for the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 and the Steam online game distribution website according to Timothy Gerritsen, Executive Director of Big Rooster. Later releases may include the Nintendo DS and Wii systems.

“Zombies!!! is a perfect game for the Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation 3 Network,” said Mr. Gerritsen. “We were surprised that no one had seen the huge potential in the Zombies!!! property.”

Originally released in 2001, Zombies!!! has been a consistent seller and is considered one of the core products in the hobby-game industry. The base set has sold over 125,000 copies worldwide. It has also spawned many expansions and spin-offs. Combined, Zombies!!! products have sold in excess of 300,000 units.

In Zombies!!! players race around the board trying to find a way to escape the ever-growing zombie horde. The game is simple to play and extremely addictive according to its fans. The tile based board and the many expansions work to keep the game fresh and new each time you play it.

“We are tremendously excited,” said Twilight Creations’ President Todd Breitenstein adding, “This is a great opportunity for both of our companies. Zombies!!! is a great property and we really can’t wait to share it with a much broader audience.”

Twilight Creations, Inc., founded in 2002, is a Kentucky board game publisher based in the city of Cold Spring. In addition to the Zombies!!! line, Twilight Creations also publishes many successful lines such as the Haunting House series and ZombieTown.

Big Rooster, LLC is a videogame development company based in Madison Wisconsin and was founded in 2006 by a group of videogame industry veterans. Big Rooster develops games for the PC and for latest generation game systems, such as Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii.

See ya,
Todd and Kerry
