Dead Island

First off, zombies. :D

Second, this is one of the best-edited, most thought out, and well-made game trailers I have ever seen: period. The music score is beautiful, the converging tragedy of two stories is wonderful...

As for the gameplay? Well...we can only hope right?

Re: Dead Island

While I am impressed by the trailer, it does nothing for me regarding the game. Trailers are cool, but trailers aren't the game. It's the developer, or publisher, or marketer's cool idea of how to display zombies in the short form. The game doesn't look like that, unless there's magically a cut scene quality game going up. It shows no actual gameplay. Tells you nothing about the game except that there are zombies. In fact, since the people end up dying in the end, they probably aren't characters in the game.

But, yeah, cool trailer.

I heard it may be a zombie MMO.

Re: Dead Island

Yeah, I really really hate all CG trailers, especially when they hardly relate to the game.

From what I gathered this is a 4 player co-op FPS game with a focus on melee combat. Most of that doesn't come across in the trailer!

You can get the theme on itunes for whoever really wants it.
THEME!
Or you could probably find it for free.

I am not a huge fan of CG trailers myself, but this one was well made and was as touching (for me) as the Halo Believe commercial. I hope it's a solid zombie MMO.

Thanks, Wikipedia!

Dead Island is an upcoming open world, horror action adventure video game in development by Techland for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 . It is centered on the challenge of survival on a zombie-infested island with a major emphasis on melee combat.

Quote:

Dead Island will feature open world gameplay, played from a first person perspective, with up to four-player co-operative play. The focus will be on melee combat, incorporating customizable weaponry and RPG elements.

So basically it's Left For Dead 3, from a different team - and is completely unrelated to Left For Dead - as far as I know.

Haha, well Zoey, Luis and Francis were on a boat to a tropical island in the end, maybe they will show up. :p

This was so stupid. Bill was -my guy-. Why couldn't they have just randomly chosen a different one to die each time you played that DLC?

Lame.

Re: Dead Island

Well, you can choose a different one, but as the story goes Bill is the one who dies.

Theres a web comic about it for anyone who cares.
