No More Zombie Games - We need a group! Ooohyeaaaaah

Whats with this whole zombie craze?
For the past few years it seems like 50% of all media is zombie this zombie that.

What killed me was browsing greenlight every other game is either crappy 3D zombies or crappy pixel zombies.
"Yeh we're developing a new ground breaking concept pixel survival horror zombie game you'll have to scavenge for pixel ammo an" SHUT UP!

Zombies ate my leg, Zombies kicked my nuts, Dead pixels, Deal pixel zombies, Dead zombie pixels, Zombie Z, Walking dead, Walking alive, Dead walking, Walking dead while alive, Zombie bowling Zombie football Plants VS Zombies Zombie Tetris Zombie Diner Zombie farts, Zombie Natzis from outer space, Zombie cats STAAHP!

ENOUGH WITH THE FRIGGIN ZOMBIES!
Its time to move on to werewolves!

So whats your solution?


Note: This thread is not entirely serious just tired of seeing a bad zombie game come out every monday.

Zombies make effective antagonists for the same reason that Nazis do: they're humans that you can feel good about shooting, because they're clearly evil. There's no moral gray area.

Also, the previously mentioned point that its easier to program for zombie AI is an excellent note. I'm sure that factors into things when it comes to smaller developer teams.

It's not JUST Zombies. Greenlight is 90% copies of other successful games. There is at least 400 minecraft clones, couple hundred platformer clones, weirdass anime games or other junk. I've voted on about 700 entries, and I've voted yes on about 10, favorited/followed 4, a few of the yes's were charities because despite being a bit poor, they were original and trying to be interesting.

Well, noone is forcing you to play zombie games.

Also, even with the high number of zombie games, we have yet to see a real good zombie survival game with scavenging, building bases and most importantly real feeling of danger. Day Z (got Arma during summersale) is pretty close, but the engine is still far from perfect. The feeling is great, but messed up melee combat system and bunchload of bugs is killing the game. Anyway I have my hopes directed towards Day Z standalone.

The problem is the development time and money that goes into crappy zombie games and not invested in better stuff

It's not like devs making crappy zombie games would suddenly produce quality material if they switched genres.

what about a game where you are a zombie, and have to run away from crazy people that want to hunt you?

Stubbs the Zombie sort of tried this, it wasn't that great though. Even co-op sucked.
