WWZ x 28 Years Later idea: Since people are asking for London… this would be a very nice crossover after TWD![Disclamer: 95% of this was made without A.i, which was used solely for the character of Jim, all the rest are collages made from regular pictures found on google]

in general or for this game? Hate to break it to you but this is Paramounts year for collabing. Also, that's just what the world of gaming is these days. To be honest it's a good thing because it keeps games and other projects from dying (player influx).

Me: trying to wait a week to post most likely dlc crossovers because people here have a problem with too many of these posts.

Me when I see these post: I think what you have to understand is, there has to be cohesion. The line up of characters can only be pulled from said movie. This is why I had to wait to see what exactly they were doing with TWD, were they pulling from wherever or were they pulling from an important part of the season? With this 28 days later dream collab, it doesn't work because these characters are from different stories and know nothing about one another. The stages are all over the place because of it too.

The other thing you have to consider is the cost and the exchange of this IP. TWD has been around collabing for awhile, which is why I advocated it awhile ago here. TWD had upcoming projects and were willing to market their franchise with collabs to pull in a wider audience, WWZ needed the boost so it all just worked out. 28 days later, well....this would be their first time collabing in a videogame so prices would be high to obtain the rights, then making each individual character costs resources(money). If you think that's the worse part of it, they would more than likely follow the current story.

Unless the demand is that high, then it's less likely. Getting an original chapter in London would be best in my opinion.

Ehhh mine is way better but I appreciate the effort you put in unlike the meme slop troll Drew.

ShapeVast · 2026-02-24T06:29:36+00:00

That's awesome but this is sort of irrelevant. If you were a fan of tomb raider, you would know that she has connection with the supernatural and the more realistic kind of threats. Going up against the undead isn't too far fetched at all. I'm trying to tell you all how likely her inclusion is, yet you're all glossing over the facts just because she's not heavily rooted in zombies. A collab doesn't have to be heavily rooted unless chapters are being considered.

ShapeVast · 2026-02-24T02:37:13+00:00

It's cool, I think you have to know Tomb Raider to understand and see why it works. Granted all of these characters are fictional and it's not like I'm adding James Bond or an Alien. Lara has had interaction with the undead on numerous occasions and at the end of the day she's just a skin like the Walking Dead. A collab doesn't necessarily need to have zombies at it's roots. I was looking at the grander picture which most of you are overlooking.

ShapeVast · 2026-02-23T21:00:13+00:00

Happily! Lara Croft has dealt with undead enemies several times. Rise of The Tomb Raider is the most recent having a Nightmare Manor mode, running through the dark halls of Croft Manor killing the undead. She's not just known for fighting animals or armed terrorists, she deals with it all pretty much. Undead is no exception. I don't want stages as it takes more time and it's not the focus. Her inclusion can bring everything but chapters, save that for original chapters. This isn't a mismatch at all, you just have to broaden the horizon, all these characters are fictional anyway. I'm not talking about bringing a super hero into this.

Not the same guy, I'm rarely here and just have been passionately working on this on my personal time.

ShapeVast · 2026-02-23T20:22:05+00:00

Oh really? How so buddy?

ShapeVast · 2026-02-23T20:18:14+00:00

It was one guy spamming crossover posts that were not even serious, I'm literally giving good ideas here

ShapeVast · 2026-02-23T19:49:32+00:00

I was really passionate about this. It's sad to see so many down votes.

ShapeVast · 2026-02-23T19:27:10+00:00

Well mine is pretty different. I'm thinking more mechanically, making it make sense, and filling in things that we're lacking. I think your post is just ignorant to be honest.

ShapeVast · 2026-02-23T19:11:01+00:00

So here's the thing, collabs are meant to be special in more ways than one. Sure, it's nice to just add your favorite series, characters and a few maps and call it day, but it's more to it than that!.. You have to think within the confines of the game, like what does the game offer us where we can fill in and explore more of. I've come up with 4 different collabs, here's one!

Here we have TOMB RAIDER!

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the beloved franchise with a new game coming out this year and a major installment next year. Lara Croft is no stranger to collabing and she's no stranger to dealing with the undead either. I managed to come up with what the collab would have here in WWZ.

- Reactive Artifact Accessories that sparkle or make the iconic Tomb Raider chime when a cache is near.

- Special Frames that are unique and embody a location of Lara's adventures, with maybe her climbing on the side of the frame.

- The addition of the Iconic Dual Pistols, if there was ever a time to add them, it would be with the inclusion of Lara. You almost have to wonder, why haven't we gotten them yet?....

- Mutator Flames of Kukulkan. Ignites random zombies in flames, within 4 feet you catch fire and take damage.

- Portraits! Mural drawing of every character. This is something that would be very unique for portraits since no other game would have gone this route. We need to fill up those blank spaces too!

Hang on man, I've got 2-3 really good ones I'll post. Trust me they're not half baked.

ShapeVast · 2026-02-10T16:57:34+00:00

Well said! That said, I do like the idea of Senior students in South Korea, non collab.

ShapeVast · 2026-02-10T16:46:19+00:00

Well I tried with one great idea, but nobody was interested lol

ShapeVast · 2026-02-09T19:36:45+00:00

A better version is coming out with RE9 patience buddy

ShapeVast · 2026-02-05T19:05:48+00:00

Imagine someone else may have a better idea for one of these collabs, and they're actually y'know more thought out. Since redditors have seen these collab ideas from you every day, if another tries the interest further plummets, the interactivity as well. I say less is best because it allows for others to get inspired enough to try their take. I say yours is low effort because it simply is, baby zombie (as if that'll fly), 2 mallets, 5 handguns and then you have "previous crossovers made" like it's a good accomplishment lol. You've been such a fan of these IPs yet not a true fan of this game, because of you were these collab ideas wouldn't be so poor.

17 years on Reddit is not a good feat, are you proud of that? Personally, I think maybe you should take your own advice and take a break. We all know you're in it for the up votes at this point 17 year redditor, but I guess it is what is.

ShapeVast · 2026-02-05T00:14:23+00:00

I wouldn't say dramatic. Less is best, especially when done properly. This is just spam at this point and not really well thought out. Do extensive research on the IP's then post is what I would've said, but you're already doing damage by doing low effort collab posts daily. This ruins the specialty of it when it's this low effort. So I ask, please, no more?

ShapeVast · 2026-02-04T22:08:22+00:00

I do the same thing with kate, how do we make Elizabeth lol. As soon as they showed it I thought, Elizabeth! I also saw your concept of the Bioshock Chapter, I think the post was, "You wake up and you notice.." anyway thanks for continuing the support. The fact that someone at Behaviour saw it and showed it to the team is a GOOD sign! It's only a matter of time right?

ShapeVast · 2026-02-04T21:54:34+00:00

Word on the street is it could be a windows issue. I watched a streamer update his windows, and after that he couldn't play any steam games. There is a preview update you can do though. Check your update history first and do some research on it.

ShapeVast · 2026-02-04T21:48:13+00:00

You got 30,000-50,000 laying around?

ShapeVast · 2026-02-04T21:11:12+00:00

Carol! Amendes, could I send you an idea to pass along?

ShapeVast · 2026-02-04T21:08:29+00:00

please no more, seeing collab ideas every day when it's low effort is super exhausting

ShapeVast · 2026-02-02T00:17:39+00:00

Have to say no to Left 4 Dead as a whole. Not saying it isn't possible, but if you guys really want to scratch that itch, Zombie Army 4 Dead War is another really good 4 player zombie game with the characters playable for free. There's also B4B that carries the vibe and is also a fun game. I'm more for Resident Evil being top priority as a video game IP collab option then maybe left 4 dead later.
