“Like Red Dead's Undead Nightmare.”Released days before Halloween, Undead Nightmare features the world of Red Dead Redemption populated with zombies. The game's developers described the title as a b-movie, like Billy The Kid vs. Dracula. Game designer and Rockstar honcho Sam Houser, however, isn't exactly sure a holiday theme would hold for a full game, explaining, “Maybe this is because a movie is a 100 minute replica Tag Heuer waf141h.ba0813 WoMen's watch experience and really captures the 'moment' and atmosphere of the season, whereas most of us are playing our games for extended periods.” While Rockstar did put a Christmas-themed section in its game based on high school, Bully, Houser believes it might be hard to maintain that holiday feeling with a Santa Claus lead character after the holidays.
What are games missing? Holiday movies — Christmas movies, to be specific — are so much a part of the holiday experience. During December, people watch How The Grinch Stole Christmas as they sip eggnog, just as people watch horror movies and stuff their faces with candy around Halloween. “It would be really replica Tag Heuer waf1420.bb0814 WoMen's watch cool if Costume Quest had that same impact, and actually became part of someone's holiday tradition,” says Schafer. “Like, 'Every year we carve pumpkins, play Costume Quest, and then TP a house.' That is the holy grail, or the Great Pumpkin, of holiday games.
“ The holidays, Schafer says, offer a shared collection of experiences to pull from — that is, for those who celebrate the holiday. There are other restrictions, too. The hardest thing about doing a holiday game is that developers cannot miss their deadline. Otherwise, they'll miss the holiday!The developers at Tokyo-base game studio Cave, a group that actually put some Christmas in one of their recent games, didn't mind if they missed their holiday. Heck, Christmas itself never really factored in. The studio's arcade shooter replica Tag Heuer waf1424.bb0814 WoMen's watch DeathSmiles II didn't aim to tackle Bleszinski's specific holiday tears, but rather, aimed to tackle large amounts of projectiles raining down on players. Like many of Cave's other games, DeathSmiles II is a bullet hell shooter, and the holiday theme is a backdrop, a backdrop that allows players to be transported at any time to Cave's version of Christmas.
