    I'm not even into that kind of game (or really any games anymore) but that trailer was ridiculously great.

    Really hope they keep it an actual survival game. Left for Dead and Dead Rising are fun, but they never really scare you and it is mindless zombie killing. I want to be piss scared if there is one zombie in a room, like the old Resident Evil days. I want to count my bullets.

    Zombie games are everywhere these days. They mostly come in twin stick shooters that play exactly like Geometry Wars or in a campy game like Dead Rising. Zombie camp is awesome, but I want to be scared again.

    It was good but not great, in my opinion. I watched a version on YouTube where they play the footage in a linear fashion and I actually liked that one more.

    Very very dramatic and almost felt like a trailer to a movie but how does this translate to game play???
    I'm not familiar with zombie games outside of Resident Evil and haven't been reading much about this game, but what do you guys think on how this would turn out??? Very interesting to say the least, and I will be picking this up for sure and like always I'm behind on all my bills because of games like this, LOL...

    I hope this somehow bridges the gap between the mind-less shooting fest (less scary, but good action) that is Left 4 Dead and the painfully tedious (more scary, less good action) games like Silent Hill/Resident Evil.

    Previews on IGN say the game is mostly melee-based which worries me for a FPS. Can you think of a time that has EVER been done well?

    I didn't like the game(s), but tons of people did.

    Isn't that necrophilia since she's already dead? Gross...

    No I wouldn't, but I would probably stop to take a look at her before smashing her zombie head in. :grin:

    I just went from 6 to midnight.

    But yeah, I agree with everyone who's saying they hope it's a happy medium between Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil.

    I still like the first Gears of War trailer better, although this was definitely a grabber.

    From what I've read, Dead Island much less like Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil and closer to Dead Rising, though nowhere near as campy. It's a first-person, open world game and like Dead Rising you can pick up anything you find to fight off the zombies. As far as guns go, you're more than likely to have little to none since you're on an island resort. I think the main emphasis is on melee combat.
