a new zombie game! trailer:

ialZcLaI17Y

cant wait to see some gameplay @.@

that might just be the most epic trailer for any videogame ever made. If the actual game is anywhere near as emotional as that trailer, it will be a glorious gaming event.

That was quite good.

I admit I'm intrigued.

Is the trailer trying to tuck on my heartstrings? Cause it ain't working.

If the gameplay is as good as that trailer then we'll be in for one helluva zombie game.

going by what it has on its wikipedia page seems to be taking some idea's from Left 4 Dead.

No surprise there.

Might be the best trailer I've ever seen for a video game.

Meh. 6/10 for me.

You have no soul.

I enjoyed the trailer and hope they can deliver on the gameplay.

Aura Angel's "6/10" was just a typo btw. ha-som

In this day and age if you are going to make cg trailer that doesn't run on the game engine then you better bring it (see Mass Effect 3 trailer). Like TheAuraAngel said, this was "meh".

What can I say? The showing of everything in reverse just bugs me. I didn't find it particularly emotional and right now I just want to watch the superior scene from Night of the Living Dead.

These days, if a video game trailer does anything that doesn't involve people shooting things with the backdrop of generic rock music, it impresses me. The fact that they at least tried to do something original and unique, with a trailer no less, should speak to their dedication of actually doing something good and original with this game.

So I guess I'm the only one that didn't really care at all.

Christ you have bad taste. Meow.

That's been established for awhile. Moo just likes everything that sucks and hates everything that's good in the world.

I appreciate the complement sir, but I am afraid that I am not Jesus Christ. The man you seek is long dead.

On the topic of this video, it's really not impressive at all. And as for emotional, well, I've come closer to tears in Nintendo games.

The trailer is definitely awesome, I really like how they did it.

Not interested in anything else with it, though. So bored with this obsession with zombies.

will this game be ever made?

Nope, found out it's a melee based Left 4 Dead with ..wait for it...HEAVY METAL PLAYING AS THE SOUND TRACK..

not even creepy ambiance , Heavy Metal, they've lost me, making it a Hack n Slash i can get past, L4D is basically just a Shoot n Slash, but having Bulletstorm "RAWK" music playing through the game has turned me right off. Score 1 for the anti-immersion.

To post an opinion....


Anyways I like the look of the trailer, got people crying or so I heard. It was pretty sad but set the mood pretty well. I'll get it when it's out, I've seen photo's...saw an electrified machete and you can make your own weapons so it's slightly like Dead rising 2 in a way.

I will be getting this game, because of my obsession with zombies, and it's resemblance to dead rising

Yeah and one thats complete moot

its like saying 'i like the look of the new Batman game but the actual character does'nt interest me'

After studying up on this game, I'm pumped to play this. This is definitely going to be a must buy for me.

The trailer, by the way, was amazingly done. I think that it was very brutal, yet saddening.

From what i've read with the characters theres no character development

when you select one of the 4 (i think theres 4 could be wrong) it has a description about there history and then thats it.

game is gonna be a blast

I certainly hope so.

I just recently pre-ordered this game. Looking forward to it.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but that "trailer" in the OP isn't actually a trailer for the game. It is set within the world of the game yes, but there are no clips of game play or cut screens from the game that I am aware of. Also it wasn't even made by the same people that made the game.

to bad you missed out on the countless videos of gameplay that litter the internet. Do you know how to research a subject or do you just make shit up?

Just noticed this game is from the same developer who did the Call Of Juarez games

hoping this game's quality from the team is more like the first two Call Of Juarez then the latest one thats out.

You just made me feel like I'm wasting $60. Thanks.

Well if it's true that a team from outside his company is assisting in this undead project, it better be good.

Well its pretty well known about the latest Call Of Juarez game thats out......its shit

unless while they were doing the latest one they just went **** it lets all concetrate on this Dead Island game.

I know there are gameplay trailers all over the internet. Just to clarify I am not down on this game, the gameplay trailers look decent I just think some people are putting to much stock in the trailer from the OP that as I said wasn't made by Techland who developed the game. This isn't me "making shit up", its a fact.

People are only interested in the trailer because it gives an emotional impact most videogame trailers wouldn't deliver. If you think we're stupid enough to buy a game just for it's cinematic scenes and not it's gameplay, you may want to stop where you're at and think about what you're saying.

No, no I agree the trailer looks amazing, and I am not accusing anyone here of being stupid. I am just pointing out that the trailer wasn't made by the developers of the game, so it isn't going to be a true representation of the game. Surely you guys can appreciate that not everyone who would have seen that trailer would have been as knowledgeable as the vast majority of gamers.

I'm going to wait too see if this is any good.

From what I read, it has the potential but right now, it looks like L4D mixed in with Dead Rising and played from the first person perspective.

Wow. That game looks like a pile of shit.


This is the first gameplay footage I saw and I was thinking about renting this.


Now?


Definitely not.



The first person view on this game is part of the problem. It just didn't work and irritated me for some reason. 3rd person view would have been a better choice. Also...if you swing a machete at a person...it will hack off some limbs (it does do that...but the "high level" zombies take lots of swings...holy shit, just typing that out annoyed me). I don't like the "level" aspect to the enemies. Like you said, Borderlands-esque. While the "knock down" and "knocked around" feel to the game adds some realism...it's just very annoying to me. The throwing of weapons was nice...but how tedious the "camera" work was showing you picking up that shit...and how tedious is it to constantly have to re-retrieve your crap? I liked the approach to a "sticky-grenade": a sticky knife grenade. lol. Nice.

I DO, however, like the crafting approach to the game. I also like the leveling up system. I just don't like the fact that the zombies also level up.


RAWR...I almost hate this game because of how irritated that 20 minute preview made me.

Exaggerating a bit don't ya think?




I think that adding first person in a horror game is usually the best choice for it sometimes gives you that feeling you're actually in the game. Silly assumption I know but it works. Btw, If you think you're sick of the first person view right now, you obviously haven't seen Cloverfield yet.




Tougher enemies require more damage. I thought this was common knowledge.





Meh. The level aspect seems alright.



Well that's ironic considering the fact that you just talked about realism one sentence ago. You do realize that items just don't magically come back to you right after you throw them right?



I see no harm in adding a level up sytem to the enemies since it provides a challenge sometimes.



I wouldn't really judge gameplay on a video if I were you and just play the game to know how it really feels.

I know, right? How dare I have an opinion about shitty viewing angles and lame "visual" actions.

I agree with dadudemon on the camera thing. It gets tedious real fast.

Jesus, this game looks ****ing brutal. Disagree on the first person thing. It makes it a lot more visceral imo.

If it wasn't a first person game then this would be a complete knock off of Dead Rising.

Originally posted by dadudemon

I was thinking the same thing.

I like the first person approach. I wasn't really interested too much into this game but I saw how the integrated the first person view into the game, my interest grew.

I don't like some FPS that don't show any movements in the hand. If you trying to be immerse me into the game, having the door open like a ghost kills it for me.

I played FEAR 2 and whenever you get a prompt to do something, a hand comes out and does it while Deus Ex: HR, it just magically appears.

That's because you're smart and have a highly refined gaming palette. Amirite?

Dead Rising...Dead Island. Both games are action adventure types with RPG elements. Both are Zombie apocalypse types. I am quite sure that "differentiating" the games from a superficial level, at this point, is completely unnecessary. After so much...there's really no point to try and make them completely different when they are already very similar...even in their damn names.


Well, Dead Rising takes a different approach to everything including the graphics. True that there is an upgrade system but just the general direction seems a lot different than Dead Island.

Adding the 3rd person view and getting of that awful shaky camera motion stuff would have only done the game a favor. You know...I wouldn't be so irritated with that game if the changed it to third person and got rid of some of the really stupid animations (like picking up items).

There's nothing wrong with them going to 3rd person in that game because they did pretty much build the entire character model for the main character...so what's the problem with them doing it?

Originally posted by dadudemon

No I think he's just siding with anyone with equally bad taste.




So? The same can be said for any shooter that has you playing as an American soldier who has to kill dozens of terrorists and even though that concept is in a bunch of games like Call of Duty and Battlefield, they can still be differentiated and be well praised no matter how much of said concept has been used over the years.

What else do you want the developers to call the game besides Dead Island? Zombie Island? Tropical Nightmare? Lame.




Are you saying this as a good thing or a bad thing?



You got that backwards. Adding first person instead of third is what did the game a favor. If it was in third person, it would then look like Dead Rising.




"Oh noes! My character is picking up items like a regular person! Now I have to not be a lazy ass and actually go get it! WORST GAME EVAR!!!" That's all I'm reading in that sentence.




I believe there's going to be cut scenes unless those trailers told me otherwise and from what I saw in some gameplay footage, you can actually see their bodies if you just simply look down. You can also see the other characters when you do some CO-OP in the game.


I have to know. Who is paying you to say all this negative stuff? 'Cause whoever payed you should get their money back for you're just not doing a good job keeping us away from this game.

You've found us out, Nemesis. I've been paying dadudemon to say all the bad stuff about Dead Island.

Changing perspective in a game can be a big difference. Dead Island clearly wants to immerse players into the game while Dead Rising completely took you out of the game.

It's not a knock on Dead Rising.

We're suggesting a change of camera perspective, dude. 3rd person camera is not some original game mechanic that Dead Rising invented.

You brought up Battlefield and Call of Duty earlier. Would you support a camera change simply to look different from a competitor?

A third person view of Dead Island would be much better IMO. First person animations for hitting things with machete/baseball bats look extremely unrealistic and boring.

The case is pointless. I assume the developers went with the 1st person because well, they did.

No. Of course I agree that there are several FPS "terrorist" games. They are very similar, obviously. So much so that there have been parodies of it on 4chan. (They do parodies of everyone. I love you, anon. )

Originally posted by Nemesis X

Yes, Zombie Island would have been a better choice consider the large overlap with Dead Rising in it's direction.

However, there's much better choices than just "Zombie Island" or "Dead Island".

It's a bit on the lame side, on their part. But you like lame, so of course you think a better name would not be as good as the lame choice.

Neither.

The art is totally different in Dead Island. Even the atmosphere is totally different.



Originally posted by Nemesis X

I obviously strongly disagree. It is so bad (it irritated me even watching gameplay) that it is no longer a game I will play. I was interested in it before I saw gameplay.

Amazing what a shitty approach to a "camera" system will do to a game, isn't it?

The game also looks a bit cheap and thoroughly unpolished. If I were to guess, it will get 6s and 7s on most review sites.

No, you've got that wrong:

"OH GNOES! My character is spending quite a large amount of time executing tedious animation tasks that look retarded and clunky! The programmers are idiots!"


But of course you'd read differently because you apparently like "lame".

To be honest, the game DOES look like it has some good stories. When a game is unplayable because of it's shitty design, I will watch the cutscenes on youtube because I do enjoy good stories in games.

How am I supposed to convince people that I hate the perspective, little character animation sequences, and shaky "viewing" work when you guys were convinced already that you liked it before I started posting in this thread? Seems like you should get your money taken away for trying to advertise the game because you've done nothing but rage about how awesome it is and how shitty my opinion is.

I agree. That's definitely the direction they were taking with the game. It just doesn't work for me in a very bad way. I'm obviously not the only one. I mean...didn't you get a bit frustrated watching the gameplay and watching the person struggle just to do anything? Sure..they seemed bad, but the clunkiness of first person wasn't the only problems, as I've pointed out. It's also how wobbly and shaky everything is.

Major motion sickness problems in that game. I never get motion sickness but for every person like me that gets irritated, there's a bajillion others that will get motion sickness.





And, that was my point: it's not a knock off of Dead Rising. I made it quite clear that it is very different. Sure...it would be grouped in the same area as Dead Rising (Action adventure RPG in a zombie apocalyptic setting..in fact, that's so specific that it's going to be hard to avoid the comparisons).






Also, other games are out there that allow a switch between first person and 3rd person. It's quite nice. Some things you want first person like sniping or viewing walls/puzzles. Other things, like melee, work great in 3rd person. I'm drawing a blank but didn't Fable 2 and 3 do this...and Mass Effect 2?

I can't remember. But I remember something fairly recent that I played that was marvelously lovely because of the ability to switch.




And, about the shitty animations when you pick stuff up. They should have just done what was see in Fallout 3 and NV (and any other modern RPG): aim at the object and hit a button to instantly pick it up. None of this slowly pick stuff up crap that we saw in the game. Realism works really well in a game...but you can only take it so far. They not only took it a bit far with the item picking up sequences...but they did a very shitty job about it.

Maybe I am I so irritated with this game because I was looking forward to it so much. *sigh* I am disappoint.

I'm jaded, then.

You can do similar stuff in the Fallout games: swing a club..and it busts a head right off and blood squirts out. You can hack off arms and legs, too.


We can agree that the game does look immersive.

Yeah, and I think that's a good direction the developers are taking. It got me more interested in the game.

Like I said before, I rather have animations picking weapons up then a game where you walk over the weapon and it magically gets picked up.

How would it look in a 3rd person game where the character never picks something up and it just magically gets done? Why should it be different for first person games.

Look at Crysis, you have to pick up weapons to get ammo and every action has an animation. It made the game much for immersive because of that reason.

In the end, it all depends on the game. Dead Island was built with those animations in mind so it doesn't feel annoying or anything. If you added those animations in a game like CoD, it wouldn't feel right.

I still like the magical pick up teleporting pickup thing.

Well, I guess the game could do better at doing the item pick up thing. Not that long swing your arm like you're mad version that they employ.

I've gotten to visually experience C 1 and 2 for hours upon hours.

That's a serious non-rhetorical question. I really don't know why it didn't bother me there.

I mostly agree. I just feel the game could be better without them or if done much more quickly.

I don't know, I have a feeling picking up weapons in Dead Island will make some sections very harrowing when getting chased by zombies. This could be annoying, or very exicting.

Similar to how RE4 was not "scary" compared to the rest of the series but extremely ****ing tense because of the people chasing you.

It....did?

I figured that popular 3rd person shooters that came well before Dead Rising were the ones that popularized the 3rd person shooter view.

Reading the wiki, it seems that Tomb Raider was the one that actually popularized 3rd person shooters. And, no, there's no special shooting genre for zombie apocolypse games: they are still just shooters.

It's a viewpoint.

And there is plenty of 3rd person zombie games before Dead Rising. One is RE4? Or how about

Well yeah that was more of what i was aiming at.... not what Dudamon's was going on about on a rant about any old 3rd person shooter




Cept its done better then what was Resident Evil 4 was doing with it.

It might be done better but that's not popularizing anything.

If you said, well, Dead Rising is the best 3rd person zombie game then that's a legitimate argument.

I've never played Dead Rising. It's one of those games that I wish was ported to the PS3.

Dead Islad looks like a fairly intricate first person RPG, almost akin to Fallout 3. I can't wait to read more about character development.

You should just get a good console, then you could play it

Have fun with your Red Ring of Death, you filthy man.

My first 60 GB PS3 lasted for over four years until it got the Yellow Light of Death.

Now I own a 320 GB PS3.

Dead Rising was a fun game. And promoted multiple plays.

Playing again in the MegaMan armor and Using the Mega Blaster was awesome.

Kazenji, read this post...because it's almost the point I was making.

Dead Rising didin't popularize 3rd person shooter views for jack. That was done before Dead Rising. Making random sh*t up like it popularzing 3rd person shooter views for zombie games is obviously wrong: the 3rd person shooter view was popularized longer before Dead Rising and Dead Rising can owe it's employment of that view to those precursor games...not like you're suggesting which is so very specific to actually be riduclous.

Even among Zombie games, I'd say Resident Evil did it a bit first. And quite popularly.

Most likely the truth.

My first 60 GB PS3 lasted for over four years until it got the Yellow Light of Death.

Now I own a 320 GB PS3.

No.

I want to see an open world zombie game, like Survival Crisis Z.

lol.

Hey, the PS2 had a pretty poor track record too, but for people who waited and got the slim, they lasted for years.

I expect it's the same with the 360 slim. Late comers always get the best shit.

Got a review for it

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/dead-island/review/

84 out 100

saying the visuals are the weakest aspect of the game.

Basically says if you play with people, it would be fun but by yourself, it would probably get tedious.

Joystiq review didn't paint the game very well.

I'm not bothering with the game. It seems like a game I'm just going to get pissed off while playing it.

Did'nt take long for a patch...well for the 360 version

Been having a blast with this game but damn it gets hard. Has anyone found any of the colored skulls and their respective drop off points? Ive found the brown, orange, purple and blue.

It looks like 3rd person WAS an option that they abandoned at some point during game dev.

It's about halfway done, imo. They were so close to making the game much much better. You guys would have gotten your "gritty" first person view...and people like me would have gotten the desired 3rd person view.

this game wouldnt have worked as a 3rd person style. You can tell that it was always intended to be primarily a 1st person game. There isn't enough mechanics in the game that would make it worth playing in 3rd person.

Watching the gameplay footage, it seemed right at home in 3rd person...minus the retarded character animation, lol.

In fact, watching the 3rd person my me itchy. If they release a patch that allows 3rd person (from the video, it looks like it is still a possibility), I will probably rent this.

It's pretty fun. Kind of stupid in plot and dialogue, but I enjoy it.

Oh and the unapologetic rip off of Left 4 Dead's special infected is amusing.
