"Zombie Driver HD on the PS3 is the first console version of the
game rendered in native 1920x1080 resolution with no compromise. We
wanted to make sure that the game looks really good in Full HD and
a simple "up-scale" of our 2D art was out of the question. Instead
we took the extra effort of actually manually re-making all of the
HUD elements, character images, cut-scene subtitles, etc. to make
sure all elements of the game are extra crisp."
"Not only that, but we also prepared an exclusive reward on the
PS3 for completing the Story Mode. If you like smashing zombies
with your car, you're going to enjoy it a lot more with a super
fast Drifter super car. It is the fastest car in the game and as
soon as it is unlocked, it becomes available in all game modes." -
said Pawel Lekki, co-founder of EXOR Studios
Zombie Driver was first released on the PC platform in December
2009. Zombie Driver HD is a hugely expanded and improved new
release and includes more than three times the content of the
original.
EXOR Studios received a lot of questions about the differences
between the old PC version and the new HD version. Here is a short
description of the things that were improved in the past 2
years:
The original game had 17 missions - the HD version has 31
missions with much more gameplay variety. In the HD version, there
are multiple different objectives like defending against waves of
zombies, epic boss fights, spraying anti zombie repellent, driving
special vehicles like the military truck, the tank or the bulldozer
as well as bombing missions. The city is a lot more alive in this
version because there are moving military vehicles, soldiers
fighting with zombies or birds feeding on corpses. A bunch of in
game cut scenes tells much more about the story than the previous
version did. New enemies have been introduced in the form of zombie
spawning infected buses, cargo containers or huge mutated mounds of
flesh. The game is a lot more focused on using weapons against
zombies which improves the pacing. There is a new Mission Select
option that allows to play any mission with any already unlocked
car, weapon or upgrade. The minimap is also one of the additions
that were made to the HD version along with a large city overview
map accessible at any time.
To sum things up - the original version of the Story Mode took
about 4 hours to finish - the HD version Story mode takes about
8-12h to finish depending on the player.
There are also other numerous improvements and enhancements to
the gameplay mechanics and graphics. These have been described in
