Hey guys, let me start off by saying I have been a long time browser of the forums and this is my first time contributing.
Anyway, to the matter at hand, a while ago, me and a friend of mine (ArmouredHoneyBadger on these forums) were discussing how Die Rise would link to TranZit, and judging from the behind the scenes trailer, we can see a completely different apocalyptic scenario.
By this I am thinking about the meteorites coming down, the first thing I thought when I saw that was, "where have I seen that before?" and then it came to me, the meteorites rain hellfire on nuketown zombies... Which is set at the same time as Moon is, but of course then you could argue that Marlton is in the bunker and the zombies eyes are blue, so therfeore my theory is invalid.
HOWEVER, TranZit just seems to feel like it has been destroyed for a while, and I know that at the start of every game, Maxis says the line "Good, you've built the device, now do this.. blah de blah". I believe it is safe to say that this implies that he has already spoken to you about doing something and building something.
So my point is, I believe that Die Rise is where the crew originally meet, and I believe that it is either set during or after Nuketown zombies, but before TranZit...
So, anyone care to elaborate?
