Zombies (Gaming)

I snagged the uncharted collection today, and decided to play through. I started the first one a while ago on PS3, but was kind of off put by the low resolution and bad frame rate.

The PS4 collection fixes all that and it's a blast in 60fps.

But Zombies. WHY?! The game is set up to be realistic, but then out of nowhere you get zombies. Why is it always Zombies with video games? Halo had the flood, Destiny have thrall, etc. Why can't I just murder humans the whole time? Someone please tell me that the new tomb raider games don't have zombies. I'll never play them so spoilers are fine. I just want to know that someone can make a game without them!

Heh, at least the Flood and Hive have a little bit of a unique culture to them. :)

It's been a year since I played the new Tomb Raider but I don't recall any zombies. There are some otherworldy figures but the Japanese history to them never made me think 'zombie'.

If you play it, I'd recommend keeping on it for a while. I found it be too cinematic and linear at the start but it opens up and widens eventually - enough, at least for me, to have a change of heart.
