Don't you love it when a developer listens to the masses? The developers of the upcoming Dead Head Fred held some focus tests on their game, and found that gamers wanted more violence. And indeed, the developers have provided, as seen in the trailer above.
In an interview with IGN, Vicious Cycle president Eric Peterson, revealed some of the violent additions to this head-swapping brawler. "So we gave the people what they wanted and amped up Fred's combo list. We created more kill moves, more decapitations, more melee attacks, more counters and more abilities in general ... You can string combos together to pound on an enemy until they are weak and vulnerable for a kill move or decapitation. You can use head powers in combination with environmental items to create new attacks. For example, you can fill the corpse head with gasoline and then find an ignition point in the environment to create a flame thrower attack."
Sounds good to us. We can't wait to get our hands on the game, and try out some moves ourselves. The team shows a lot of enthusiasm for PSP, and making the game solely for PSP -- let's hope they succeed with their ambitions.

Reminds me of a sort-of Infected meets Stubbs the Zombie thing ... and since I like both of those games, sign me up!

I'm not that thrilled, it looks like Ghost rider (a little) and that's definitely not a compliment.

I'd agree with the Stubbs comparison, as that's what I instantly thought of watching this trailer. A quirky title about a zombie with a retro flair. Seems like good stuff.
This is shaping up to be an excellent year for original PSP titles.

So far, seems like a good story, good Voice acting, good graphics, and a nice set of moves. So, it looks fun, now, if they just revealed the controls.
I think that should be a standard when revealing a new PSP game. A video would be nice, but even just a little written thing. I mean, it`s the PSP, atleast explain the camera! But, yeah, these guys looks too smart to fuck up there.
