Dead Island (video game)

[ProfessorChaos]

well, if that's the case, the graphics department has some lighting/blending/dimensional issues. but seriously, a hulking bane-looking zombie in a straight jacket? i recall reading that there's supposedly a prison or something near this resort island this game takes place at, but that thing just looks fucking silly.

Box art too extreme for the USA! http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/115/1156850p1.html

You guys are putting too much faith into this and are going to be let down bigtime. FMV cutscene trailers do not = gameplay

FMV cutscene trailers do not = gameplay Huh? No one has suggested that? But 4-5yrs+ of serious development gives it a chance at least! What I don't understand is how it's going to differentiate itself from L4D(2)?

Three new screens: http://pc.incgamers.com/News/27369/t...-island-images Ahhh... so he is a normal sized zombie! Looks like it's a 'Charger' type too. Despite the L4D zombie class template, I'm looking forward to this.

Well thank fuck it was just a poor angle on that particular shot ... I must say it did look awfully stupid being a great big giant, so thankfully it's not ... ... I'm still a bit "hmmm" on this 'different classes of zombies' thing, mind, not just for this game - I'm speaking generally. What I'd much rather see now is video of actual gameplay.

I think different classes are a necessary evil for this sort of gameplay, else it would just be too dull...

I think different classes are a necessary evil for this sort of gameplay, else it would just be too dull... imagine left 4 dead with nothing but the normal ones standing or the normal hordes rushing you, eventually it would get dull. hell even WITH the hunters, spitters, boomers, tanks ect. its still kinda samey. Still dead island doesnt have anything that crazy- but at the same time its free roaming compared to left 4 deads halo style tunnel vision design style. Honestly the more i see the more this game looks like far cry meets dead rising meet a little bit of bioshock and just cause thrown in. Which could be awesome but you never know.

Ugh, back we come around on the roundabout ... *refers back to aforementioned Fallout 3 with shambler zombies idea*

Ugh, back we come around on the roundabout ... *refers back to aforementioned Fallout 3 with shambler zombies idea* difference here is the location, for me at least. I dug fallout but ,eh.... not the most amazing world. I believe, 'brown, brown everywhere' is the internet vernaculars of our time to describe it. This is a nice looking topical local set in the 'real' world. Though yeah samey zombies the whole time will get real boring- hence the psychos in dr, and specials in left 4 dead, but i get sold on a game by its world. this isnt a brown wasteland thats the same from edge to edge of its map so i am more excited. not amazingly so but im more excited to explore than the zombies aspect. Plus i have a feeling this is the closest we are going to get to a current gen high end disaster report or day of crisis since i am alive is rumoured to be vapourware lately.

*sigh* I don't literally mean Fallout 3 with shamblers. The vision has been laid out several times before on HPOTD. That is all.
