Gameplay is more important than graphics, and the graphics are quite nice and show what you need for gameplay. It looks good.

Not sure about the 'players will be no match for them if playing alone.' part. I tend to them it works against being social, because people start playing with others not because they like them, but because they are just effectively using them in order to play the game. I think it's better if it's highly attractive to play with others rather than your unable to play at all without them. Perhaps solo players have to sneak around alot more or something?

Also with the zday trademark, I'd swear that if you've been using it first, even without a released game, someone else can't just buy it out from under you. Don't assume that if they paid some money somewhere, it's cut and dried. It's probably even just their lawyers, who have no idea about the content, they just try and strong arm things legally.

Thank You. Although our lasted internal demo's look a whole lot more nicer

Players are able to play by themselves. Especially with our current generation of AI. In the future it will become harder and harder as the zombies become more aware and intelligent. The core of this game is survival. People shouldn't simply be teaming just for friendship, or there wont be alot of survival. If a team mate gets infected, its smart to kill them and have them start from scratch, or you may just have a zombie right next to you, when you least expect it, or want it (IE. When your reloading).

If I remember correctly, its Gearbox who owns the trademark now. There isnt much else I can say on the matter.

Well, I wouldn't describe it strictly as a team then, as sometimes your compeating against people on your 'team' for your own survival. I think people will feel betrayed personally if they get shot, unless they are told to begin with that someones the guys you fight zombies with are sometimes the guys you fight as well.

And even then you can easily play chess against someone, trying to beat them, yet it can be part of friendship.

I really don't think any game, ever, should encourage or try to organise people to get together who don't actually like each other to any degree. Particularly not for the sake of adhering the some sort of genre.

Well in terms of the law determining ownership, your not the one to say if they own the trademark or not. If it is not within the laws of your country for them to buyout a term from under those already using it, then no, they by those laws they don't own that trademark, whether you say they own the trademark or not.

It may be allowing an essentially unfair or perhaps even illegal act on their part to say they own the trademark. Just noting it, as I don't like to leave any affirmation towards such a likelyhood.
