Craiglowery Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The trailer looks amazing, I honestly think it's the best video game trailer I've seen. The game sounds awesome, I hear they are throwing some RPG elements into this, if the gameplay is as well executed as the trailer then this is a must buy for me. http://kotaku.com/#!5762287/dead-island-returns-and-a-little-girl-dies http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/115/1150368p1.html?_cmpid=ign1161 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingless Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I remember hearing about something like this awhile back... But wow... that trailer... that CGI... wow. Edit: http://uk.ign.com/videos/2011/02/16/dead-island-backwards-forwards-announcement-trailer?objectid=955540 Watching it backwards is more heartbreaking than the original.

nine naked men Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Meh. Hopefully they can pull off the melee combat without it feeling like some boring hack-n-slash. The trailer is interesting, if only for the fact that it may be the first zombie kid I've seen in a videogame/trailer, but it would've been much more interesting actually seeing some gameplay. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingless Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Remember it's only an announcement trailer. Many believed this to have been cancelled, since the last word we heard about this was in 2007. So, you can't really expect gameplay on an announcement trailer... Most of the time, anyway.

Dax Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Looks pretty cool. Trailer works a lot better backwards, in my opinion. #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirenLazah Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I cant believe some of that was CGI. I literally thought parts of it included real life actors. Holy [cabbage]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdoziz Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Really? Seems a bit of a hyperbole. The characters looked really weird at times actually. Uncanny valley here we come. Click here to check out my Youtube channel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maze Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I really don't understand why people are criticizing the trailer for including the death of a child. Movies do it all the time and they don't get beef at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2PM Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Looks nice, still waiting for what the actual game looks like. Hype trailers really do look nice now a days.

Mr_Adam Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I didn't really enjoy watching that trailer... I mean, it wasn't exactly very happy, and I'm not sure what the game is supposed to be. That doesn't really give a trailer for anything... it's just an emotional video (although I'll admit that it's really pretty and dramatic).

Wingless Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 > Zombies -> Zombie Apocalypse.> Island -> Stranded with extremely limited supplies.> Picking up and using both a Kitchen Knife and a Hotel Fire Axe -> Melee Weapons Scavenge.> Extreme Gore and, taking from the other video on IGN, high and realistic details in the killing/ripping up of zombies.> Possible extremely high-end graphics.> If that guy is the main character, then we know his Wife and Child died so that's backstory.> Possibly the first retail game to have children that you can shoot/kill, although I doubt the ESRB would allow that (which I still don't understand. We can shoot animals, grown-ups, have sex, use various sex toys (GTA), drugs and God knows what else, but NO SHOOTING CHILDREN! IT'S BAD). I picked up quite a few things.

Dizzle229 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hmmm. It doesn't give much indication of what the actual game will be like, but the trailer itself is great on its own. Get back here so I can rub your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine naked men Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 > If that guy is the main character, then we know his Wife and Child died so that's backstory. Apparently those three aren't seen again, they're just random people. Plus, the guy gets bit too. Just copy-pasting from Wikipedia atm: "The first mission serves as the tutorial. The character is trapped in a beach hut with other terrified survivors. One person begs the character to go outside and help a lone person fending off the horde. The character then picks up a lead pipe and walks outside. The names of the four playable characters in Dead Island are Xian Mei (a staff member at the hotel), Logan (a surfer), Sam B (a former rapper) and Purna. All four are in the Hero category." "The zombies have fully-modelled layers of meat and muscle rendered onto their bodies, meaning they have a multi-layered damage system with real-time injuries." - So looking forward to that. :3 Will definitely wait to see some gameplay trailers/reviews before buying it, but I'm optimistic. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
