"Dead Island"

Amazing how quick this trailer caught on fire -- it's seriously one of the most moving pieces of video game cinematics I've ever seen.

From what I've gathered, it's going to be a very emotional, dark, and engaging zombie experience -- a FPS with RPG elements and an emphasis on melee and customization. That true? I've never been a fan of the "Left for Dead" series and didn't really enjoy the tone of the second "Dead Rising" game, so maybe this is right up my alley.

Anyone else have thoughts?

The trailer was money, no denying that.

As for the game as a whole... haven't heard enough, but I'm tentatively hoping for big things.

Trailer looks fucking sweet, the music adds a lot to it.

Maybe we'll finally get the zombie game we deserve.

I watched this like 3 times.  The trailer looks awesome.

This trailer had 2 million views in the first 24 hours.

Also, they've already locked it up to be a movie.

That said, it actually got to ME.  The dad trying to save his little girl, the family going down against the hordes, desperately fighting against them.  Only thing I saw wrong with it was "Why is the little girl out in the hallway during a zombie attack?"

Other than that, it was pure genius.  Better than that Gears of War one from a couple years back with the "Mad World" song.

Brilliant!

Here's the video in chronological order.

The trailer looks pretty good but I'll reserve judgement until I know more about the gameplay. Is it going to be similar to Dead Rising?

[jagilki]

from what I read more FPS, like Left 4 Dead

[Midas]

This looks good...

[T-Bonizzle]

From what I read it is a FPM. First Person Melee combat. There are other videos showing stills and concept gameplay from 2007 where you are wielding a tire iron or PVC pipe or a wrench.

Looks fantastic. I'm not much into first-person games like most zombie games are, but the trailer has me sold

[Smash INC]

The trailer isn't done by the studio that is making the game so that has me worried.

I heard the odd rumour about this a couple of years back and thought it turned into Left 4 Dead, but hey, Zombie-killing spree at a beach resort has me henshinning a-go-go baby!

From what I gathered, the game is a 4-player co-op and open-world style gaming. Not only is it going to be scary, but it's apparently going to play up the emotion of the affair, and not go down the route of silliness and cheeky winks to zombie nerds. Who wants to be in my party?!
