A downloadable game

Zombie Crisis: Director's Cut is a standalone total conversion and the successor to the original Zombie Crisis originally released in 2008. It is available as a standalone build for Windows and is also available for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and can be also be used with the PlayStation Vita's "Adrenaline" PSP support.

The Zombie Crisis: Director's Cut aims to remedy some of the missing potential from the original release and will add more variety to the game in the form of a major quality of life update, while not a sequel (and shouldn't be thought of as one) it will help me gauge people's interest to potentially develop a true successor to the game. 

I've been able to update the majority of the game's systems, including a complete re-balance of enemy and weapon values and adding new features to the game but regarding levels it will be using updated and remixed versions of the original releases maps as I am not very skilled in level design to create new ones. 

My hope is post-release maybe interest from the community will inspire volunteers who would want to help make a new episode for the game that would take advantage of the updates and provide a new experience while staying true to the game's core theme and concepts. 


Updates and features thus far for the Director's Cut:

- (PSP) New tech! A new source port resolves practically all issues from the original release and provides a solid and feature complete experience.

- (PSP) New “FPS” control scheme with re-mappable buttons provides the best experience yet.

- Ludicrous gibs! Enemy effects have been dramatically tweaked and enhanced with more over the top blood and gore to enhance the campy atmosphere.

- New weapons! Use the new assault rifle, sub-machine gun with grenade launcher and the shotgun along with updates like the M14 and of course the classic chainsaw to push back the undead hordes and cut your way through.

- New enemies! Hostile soldiers and a new zombie type with tweaked AI add an extra challenge and provides variety to the experience.

- New but familiar! All levels have been updated and optimized for the new Director’s Cut additions and features.


*The PlayStation Portable release of Zombie Crisis: Director's Cut has a signed EBOOT which should theoretically allow the game to be ran on any PSP system regardless if it's running custom firmware or not. The EBOOT was signed in hopes of making installation as painless as possible for players to allow them to enjoy the game without issue. 

**For use on the PlayStation Vita however a modded console with custom firmware is still required as the emulated PSP ("Adrenaline") will need direct file access to copy the game data to a specific directory on the system to run the PSP homebrew.
