I missed pegi's 18th birthday dammit. Any this trailer is really sad I can't wait to see gamplay ,felt real bad for the girl at the end

The trailer was great and I like the idea of focusing on melee combat instead of gun action like most zombie games.

man that was awesome.......

Forward, backwards or however, it's still sad. I can't wait to play it though.

It doesn't tell me if the game is any good, but a good storyteller put this together. Better than most film trailers.

 

[BuffyGirl]

I'm just sad that it can't be played as two player at home. I realize that would be hard to do, especially a split screen. That would be very hard. But I would love to play with the better half. Oh well, I'll just have to play with some of you crazies and hope you don't get my a$$ killed.

I don't think it matters if the trailer shows gameplay or not... we got gameplay videos for that (they will come). The trailer was just a nice lead-in and a way to get people's attention.

Man, having a daughter about that girl's age...the trailer did an excellent job of conveying the absolutely hopelessness of the situation. This game definitely has my attention.

Isn't anyone at all bothered by the fact that zombies are supposed to be slow moving and dimwitted? Probably not since that wouldn't really make the game any fun.

Actually it does because it's been an ongoing problem in the video game industry which led to a lawsuit which is why you see disclaimers now stating what's actual gameplay and what's CGI. Because at one point a lot of companies were simply promoting their games with 100% CGI i.e. not what you'd actually be playing when you bought the game. And in some cases the CGI wasn't even in the game either.

That's the controversial part. Ben Parfitt of Market for Home Computing and Video Games said "It's a video that uses an image of a dead girl and images of her dying to create an emotional bond with a product."

Slow zombies aren't scary anymore (at least to me) after seeing 28 Days Later.

Game looks pretty sick. Good zombie games are hard to find IMO.

The zombies in Dead Rising were of the slow-moving variety and that game was a blast. And since Dead Island looks to be about 90% similar (from what's seen so far), I could imagine that having slow zeds in the game could still present a challenge if in large numbers.

Not uhh resident evil is good and so is l4d but yea your actually right.

 

[The Josh]

I like both those games. They are actually what I was going for as far as only being a few.

 

[plasmid303]

I miss the days when zombie games were actually scary.

 

[ironwez20]

yea me to but to be honest this looks like it will do that.

 

[Something Sexy]

I don't mind slow zombies in games if they make the games like the original Resident Evil game, survival horror, where you can rarely find ammo.

Newer games where ammo is falling from the sky and it is less scary and more action packed then I am fine with fast moving zombies.

But...but...they weren't zombies in 28 Days Later.
