One of my favorite things about zombies is the cinematic moments that happen in the main quest that heighten the story and lead to cool gameplay moments.
K Drew has actually quite a few of cool cinema moments under his belt as a design director. As he mentions in the clip he was involved in Mob(with Afterlife, he says he did EE stuff I doubt he’d lie but that’s new info). He also was the design director of Blood Of The Dead, which has the all time great moment where the Richtofen player enters the blood sucking mechanism thing, and then pops out a cryo pod as GREAT WAR RICHTHOFEN. On Ancient Evil there’s the first ever character exclusive cutscene with Shaw and Bruno, and last but not least on Shattered Veil; I believe the greatest cutscene in zombies, or at least top 3 takes place, where weaver finally comes face to face with Eddie, and it ends with them fleeing the mansion being chased by a fucking Z-Rex
Terminus I think is one of the best made quests in the series, every step seems logical and it kinda feels like a mini movie (Love the bit with Owen’s hideout on the ship).
Ashes didn’t have anything too crazy, but I really liked the return of Klaus from Mauer and launching the rocket at the cosmodrome. Both these moments also have their own tracks in the soundtrack, which makes them feel more important (fantastic callback to Der Eisen as well in the soundtrack). Astra Malorum so far holds the highlight for BO7, as mid Easter egg you transport to fucking MARS and it is awesome. The outro cutscene is also one of my favs ever.
Overall, I just wanted to yap about cinematic moments in zombies and I’m glad the director of the mode enjoys those moments too. I hope we have something on the level of shattered veil’s mid quest cutscene in BO7, if not BETTER. If yall wanna add what your favs are feel free🤷🏻
