Video Games: The Future Part 2 - Zombies


In Left 4 Dead, the story still seems to focus on the effect the outbreak has on the human survivors. This is because the story follows a group of people who are trying to survive after an apocalyptic pandemic has happened. The survivors are put through different scenarios and have to survive as zombies attack them. Even though the story of the game follows how the survivors survive through the zombie apocalypse, it still seems to have an element of it that deals with the actual threat of the zombies. This is because the zombies are still the main threat in the game and at this point in the game they also seem to be the biggest threat.

Although this video game and most other zombie video games follow the survivors, there are probably zombie video games out there that follow a different route and have different things that happen in them. 

The fear and tension in the game seems to come from the not knowing when the zombies may pop out and how many of them may come in the attack. Another element that contributes to the fear and tension is how at any point in the game, the supplies that you may need may not be there when you need them meaning that at any point in the game you could die.
