28 Days Later in DBD
One of the greatest zombie movies from the 2000's it would be sick to see Jim in the game its sad it would only be him cause idk how a Rage Virus Infected would work as a killer.

They could do 28 Years Later for a more recent tie-in. That big zombie could work. The blonde wig track suit crew would make a good Legion skin to.

The 28 days/weeks/years is NOT a zombie movie. Depends which one you would wish to see in the game as 28 years later sucked big time. It is a rage virus, they vomit up blood, get infected and go on a rage destructive path, they do not go for brains, eat people, move slow and do not go for brains, those in 28 days etc later are NOT corpses etc. Same as world war Z, again they are NOT zombies.

I feel like this is splitting hairs a bit. Sure, they lack a lot of the classic zombie hallmarks, but they still pretty clearly are based in that genre and fit the formula for infected humans that begin animalisticaly attacking each other.
The director himself doesn't consider 28 Days a Zombie movie, so you are correct and I wanna make that clear, but scrolling down the Wikipedia article, every single outside reception piece calls it a zombie movie and even how it caused a resurgence in the genre. I don't think the original post is out of line for calling one, y'know?

Nope. No one will convince me other wise, the reason they lack classic zombie hallmarks, is because they are clearly not zombies no matter how one looks at it. Sure yes they both fit into the formula that they are infected, but it's very clearthey are not the same, I would put this in the Apocolyptic genre. Also thr infected attack due to the rage, zombies well attack for the guts, brains and are clearly brain dead. Also you have to put into account on 28 years later, they adapted, the rage virus adapted, said cant be done for zombies who are……..dead. It's like saying vampires are wherewolves as they are affected to silver in some horror movies such as Blade and Dracula untold and I could delve into Twilight a little. Sorry but no I am not and will not be convinced, splitting of hairs aside, it irks me when people just throw that movie with it's a zombie movie when it isn't.

Though you are right, they aren't zombies (it's just easier to call them such), what you're defining is the George Romero zombie, and the concept did not begin or end with him. The modern concept comes from folk traditions adapted to fiction. People think voodoo when they think zombie origins but the Tibetan ro-lang is where much of zombie fiction gets its ideas. A corpse possessed by a demon will infect others through touch. A second type, brought about through necromancy, has a particular weak spot, which varies by type.Most people consider the infected humans of Resident Evil to be zombies yet they aren't undead. Re-animator features corpses reanimated through scientific means and that can be fully cognizant. Even Frankenstain's creation is a sort of zombie. If the rules are slow, eat brains, and undead, that's basically nothing. That doesn't even fit the traditional zombie.
Incidentally, Romero was heavily inspired by Richard Matheson's post apocalyptic I Am Legend, which is about vampirism as a virus, so concepts kinda blend and change over time. Romero rules are limited in their application. The concept has gone well beyond him.

I undersand what you are saying, to the point Wiki came into play of your answer. Resident evil the film, everyone in the movie with the Hive was dead, fair point and set out to enjoy blood and human flesh. Other films yes they use science but on a corpse, a dead being, again no one was dead with the rage virus.

I own about 30 books on Tibetan culture, religion, and history. One of them is a collection of folkltales called The Prince and the Zombie. Voodoo zombies I know less about, but I don't need Wikipedia's help with Tibet.
I'm talking about the RE games. Those garbage movies might as well not exists to me.
Like i said, they're not zombies, but you're definition is still too restrictive.

Why is it? do You feel and think twilight vampires are so? things are based on so I dont care about the books you read etc, but your answr was wiki based. So why is it too restrictive please tell me? cannot they be called other things? defintions are there is why movies based on so but calling this a zombie movie is by no means and well, no.

Because langauge and concepts change. If you want a pure definition of zombies, based on the historical context, they would have to be sorcerery-based. There'd be no scientific zombies, no infections, nothing about brains as either weak spots or food sources. Your definition's time and place is Romero. He didn't invent the concept, he just made a popular film that made it a popular concept (the voodoo zombie was already around in film though). Just like how 28 Days Later basically revitalized the subgenre, and everything that's come after it has been affected by it.
IdK anythinig about Twilight. I watch horror movies. Give me an example that wasn't aimed at 13-year-old girls and I might know it. Fright Night, The Lost Boys, Nosferatu(any version), Near Dark, Blood Creek (breaks all the rules), Cronenberg's Rapid (also breaks all the rules), Black Sunday, Dracula: Prince of Darkness, etc. But the history of vampires also has totally different parameters then what's in place now, which is mostly based on Bram Stoker's take and not the centuries of history that preceded it. And both creatures were essentially the same at one point: undead people cursed through demons or sorcerery to torment the living.
And again, I don't need Wikipedia. I have books. I also have multiple copies of Matheson's I Am Legend, hence why I know it's an early version of the concept. I have Mary Shelley's The Last Man, the first post apocalyptic book from which all others borrowed. I read horror and science fiction across the whole time frame of its existence. Some people do read, not just watch movies and Google things.
