The music makes this so sad. :(

Zombie game, CG trailer.

Entire genre is played out, spurting blood from the udders.

[MXC]

Just watched the trailer by moving around the progress bar back and forth. I'm sitting this one out.



The VERY LAST THING I want to deal with in a zombie game/movie is zombie kids.

[BobtheGreatII]

Watched this yesterday. Pretty crazy stuff.

Finally, a zombie game which doesn't have you as some military dude carrying an an entire armory in a backpack.

However, less teaser, more trailer (ie, with game footage). I've never played a game powered by the Chrome engine so I'm not sure what to expect from this.

A lot of (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/115/1150440p1.html) major (http://www.gameinformer.com/games/dead_island/b/xbox360/archive/2011/02/17/preview.aspx) game (http://www.destructoid.com/impressions-your-first-look-at-dead-island-194120.phtml) sites (http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/deadisland/news.html?sid=6299759&om_act=convert&om_clk=newsfeatures&tag=newsfeatures;title&mode=previews) have some previews and screenshots up in case you want graphics/gameplay details

Not much but still good info

[Dwood]

Done with Zombie games. No more. Please... no... more....

I believe Sniper: Ghost Warrior, used the chrome engine. Game was very " Bland " and uninteresting. But that's also the dev trying to copy COD as usual

[Kornman00]

S:GW was also on CE4. Dead island is on CE5.

Good looks good and the details sound just as good too. May have to buy this at full price!

[cheezdue]

Something about that trailer made me wish it was a full movie. :(

I have soo much respect for Geoff right now.

[Cortexian]

Achievement Unlocked! Give a Shit!

Yeah, respect for him and his situation in that case. Unfortunately I've been so desensitized by the Internet that I can pretty much watch anything and not give a shit.

[Donut]

i thought the idea of this trailer was to present a game where you want to avoid the situation it shows with the dead girl falling out the window. did you notice how every scene contradicted what was happening in the next one? thats the vibe i got at least. how does that make the developers assholes? i mean, he was clearly just emotionally into it, but still.

[Hotrod]

Some people are more affected by that stuff than others. It's clear that Geoff loves his daughter very much, and just the thought of something ever happening to her causes him a lot of pain. I can't blame him for reacting that way since I would probably have done something similar if I was in that situation. I've gained a lot of respect for him as well, he's a good man.

[Kornman00]

Being a gamer, I know how to differentiate simulation/entertainment from reality. I get moved by shit too, but I don't let it disrupt my life or my thinking. Dawn of the Dead (the remake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGJcrDkinHc)) had a little girl got infected in the intro then went all arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and infected her dad but it was just a movie. A zombie movie. I can't say I've ever let a horror film fill my head with "omgwhatif"s about similar stuff happening to people I know, of any age.

With that said, I'd hate to be Geoff's daughter's future boyfriend... :ugh:

The Dead space 2 guys should have got him for their "your mother is going to hate this" campaign heh

[Cortexian]

With that said, I'd hate to be Geoff's daughter's future boyfriend... :ugh:
It could happen, maybe she's into gray hair or something. Or grow into it rather.

[annihilation]

I'm not tired of Zombies yet seeing as though I have yet to play a zombie game where it's more realistic and I'm not some kind of super soldier zombie killer or random survivor who finds swords and guns everywhere. I'm also a huge open world game junkie.

I'll be keeping track of this.

[Kornman00]

Or grow into it rather.
sry, that's Atty you're thinking of

[t3h m00kz]

Looks like it could be good. according to the description, sounds like it may extremely similar to left 4 dead. Then again, I'm not really one to judge a game based on it's originality or lack of. Otherwise, the Halo franchise would be on my shit list.

[Limited]

Its been confirmed you do not play as any of the characters in this trailer, this is only like a 'side story'.


Yeah, respect for him and his situation in that case. Unfortunately I've been so desensitized by the Internet that I can pretty much watch anything and not give a shit.
Same here, I had no issues watching it because I know its fake and in a game.

Also am I the only one that hasnt played a zombie game? The only zombie killing I've done is in COD WaW. This game already has more appeal to me than dead rising (this game is in first person).

[Kornman00]

Hey look, it's a trailer for a game that doesn't actually feature any gameplay but is meant to give you some kind of emotional connection:
TXeST0NMtic

The only difference from this and Believe is that this makes Geoff a Sad Panda.

[Dwood]

Or there's a little girl in it that dies?

[Kornman00]

Fine, if you want to go down this road: the little girl isn't dead, she's a zombie.

How many movies feature teens, kids, babies dying? The only (big picture; since some people can't think in that manner) difference between video games and movies is that movies have been around for a lot longer and have already gone through their ratings and content outcries. To top it off, this trailer is nothing more than a movie about the concept of a video game at the end of the day.

[PlasbianX]

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but as soon as she hits the ground, the markings on her body slowly fade out, as if she's becoming human again.

When your about to die the 'zombieness' fades away, you then have a few seconds alive then die, as a human.

[Patrickssj6]

Limited knows. Happens all the time in Norfolk.

[Bodzilla]

LOL'd Pat.

The graphics look almost as good as Crysis. I wonder if this is a proper representation of what the visuals of the final game will be.

[annihilation]

That looks pretty good for a console.

[Hunter]

Crazy CGI stuff, but it's pointless if the game is crap. I hate CGI Render'd trailers instead of in-game. pretty but pointless as you want to see what the ACTUAL game looks like...

How about you look at Ifafudafi's post

[hobojoe]

Ok, not sure if this is old or not ( why it says 2007? idk)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUZV9GoyCD0&feature=feedu

Damn, that looks awesome

[=sw=warlord]

Mega bump.
So me and Teekup been playing this and I've got to say, the customizing and the pure ability to just roam is awesome.
I'm surprised no one has posted about this since it got released a while back.
There's a few glitches like duplicating weapons and such but overall, this is a pretty fine game, there's not much that's more enjoyable than slaming a zombie with a spiked sledge hammer charged with two massive batteries.

E:
Fuck Butchers, they are possibly the most brutal zombies, think of the witch from L4D and then change the normally avoidable to constantly searching for you.

[neuro]

its a multiplayergame, which CAN be played singleplayer, but makes it boring as fuck.

multiplayer it's awesome great fun though.

[dark navi]

Is there any sort of matchmaking?

[=sw=warlord]

Is there any sort of matchmaking?
Not in your normal way of matchmaking.
There will occasionally have a message pop up commenting on another players being in close proximity and if you use the directional pad you can join their game.

[Corndogman]

Almost finished with my first play through. Wish I had people to play coop with, becuase the game is pretty annoying in singleplayer (some of the enemies are a pain in the ass to kill without someone else distracting them). I think the game relies a little too much on co-op play, but oh well. That being said, the game is pretty fun, at least for a while. Smashing zombie heads in with blunt objects is immensely satisfying at first, but gets old and eventually makes the game progress slowly IMO. That would be fine, if the guns werent COMPLETELY FUCKING USELESS. It shouldn't take 5 headshots with a magnum to kill a zombie.

That being said, thank goodness its really easy to hack/mod this game by editing the xml files in the data .paks. I'm currently playing with slowly regenerating health, increased ammo count, and a higher FOV, as well as a few other small tweaks. Makes the game much more enjoyable for singleplayer.

[Kornman00]

Corndog, are you playing the game on the 360? Since you're talking about editing the xml files, I'll assume you're on the PC. But if you are on the 360, I'll see how much gamestop is selling the game used when I pick up Batman tomorrow

[Corndogman]

I'm on PC. I hear its more fun on 360 (or at least with a controller) since thats what it was made for, but I like the ability to mod on PC.

[Amit]

Need true AAA F2P zombie MMO now.

[neuro]

fuck no, there's enough zombie-stuff out there at the moment.
jesus all these zombie-things spawning all over the place, how are you not zombie-saturated yet?

[Amit]

Cuz I don't indulge any of them except The Walking Dead :)
