Default Dead Island - Incredible trailer released.



It's slightly mortifying but it looks interesting. From what I've heard it sounds like Left 4 Dead but it's an open world game...well Island anyway.

It's a common word in a lot of games and films and such really.

The trailer's got over a million views in a day, It's getting quite a bit of attention. IGN's done an article on the gameplay that makes it sound like a serious Dead Rising mixed in with some Elder Scrolls esque levelling up. It sounds quite immense.

The music makes it really, very simple but powerful. Apparently the film rights to the game have been sold on the strength of the trailer alone.

From what I've heard the tone is similar in the game, it's meant to be like a non campy Dead Rising.

Zombie cames are seriously over ******ing done now.

Heavy Rain had tapped into something amazing, and no one has even picked up on that format at all yet.

The Trailer is good - but it's like you can tell it's choppy and will probably be bad to play?

Most trailers make the game look all awesome and then you get it and it sucks or it's chunky or something, this trailer shows us it.

Better then Left 4 Dead anyway

Agree - Left 4 Dead sucks compared to this.

Is it for Xbox or a ******ING PS3 EXCLUSIVE!

Zombie games are far from overdone you biscuit. Left For Dead, Dead Rising, Resident Evil etc are all class A franchises and I want more of them in a continuous stream that never ends. I could just as easily say games involving stealing cars and shooting people in the chest for crime bosses are overdone but that would be thick of me, wouldn't it.

This game looks like the pits though. I watched that demo and it looks absurdly unpolished.

It's not that it's 'over done' it's just that every game these days either involves blowing up robots or something, Call of Duty or Zombies.

And it's pretty tiring now, especially because Zombie games are basically pretty much the same thing.

I don't think there's been a Grand Theft Auto-y type game out for a long time now anyway?
Saints Row 3 when that comes out yeah, but other than that..?

I'm just saying it'd be nice to get a break from the same usual stuff - this Zombie game looks interesting as if it has a story to it. The others just seem to be the same 'Shoot here and there, Zombies coming - Shoot again!' bollocks.

Games are as varied in genre, size and scope right now than at any other point in the industries history. If you are complaining about the range of games on the market then you seriously aren't looking hard enough or playing as much games as you would like to think you play.

Your assesment of what zombie games entail is fucking ludicrously over simplified, too. Resident Evil isin't about 'shoot this zombie! now shoot this zombie!'. Neither is Dead Rising.

Left 4 Dead is. But that's because it's a shooting game. Amazing, I know.

Driving games ... I'm sick of them. It's all about drive here, brake here.
Football games ... I'm sick of them. It's all about score here, score there.

See where I'm going with this?
