Dead Island sounds familiar to you, then you have a good memory. It was originally announced in 2007, but no publisher was officially attached. Techland worked on other projects in the years since, but Dead Island was slowly shuffling along in the background. Now, Deep Silver is on board, and the game seems likely to see the light of day. It's scheduled for a 2011 release on Xbox 360, PC and PS3, but no specific dates have been revealed yet. Dead Island's concept is striking. Place players on a tropical island; surround them with zombies of varying shapes, sizes, speeds and abilities; place only found objects at their disposal; degrade their weapons over time; and set the whole adventure against a backdrop of mystery and drama. But will a first-person melee combat action game with RPG elements really work?

The Royal Palms Resort is perched on the remote island of Banoi in Papua New Guinea. It's a tropical paradise turned tourist magnet, remote and exotic. Not the sort of place you'd expect to find scattered caches of weapons, boxes of grenades, rocket launchers leaning against walls, and mounted machine guns. In an effort to preserve that reality, Techland, the developers of Dead Island, have stripped those handy gaming conventions away, leaving a stark reality in their place. Rather than run-and-gun their way through a meat maze, players will be forced to scavenge for objects and use them to beat their undead foes into submission. There are precious few firearms scattered around the island (and even less ammo), so the majority of the combat will be intimate. Knives, machetes, bats, broomsticks, pipes – these are your defenses against the horde of infected monsters. It's survival horror with a melee action twist, and it's disgusting.

Never heard of it.

[Raide]

The Zombie game?

[badcrumble]

Well, I definitely must have forgotten about this.

[Karram]

I was wondering what happened to that game not a long time ago.

EDIT Trailer is so boring but kinda reminds me of Lost.

[Sho_Nuff82]

Ya don't say.

Since nobody reads I made a list of all the notable games it's confirmed NOT to be: Beyond Good and Evil 2 Colonial Marines Hitman 5 Episode 3 Metroid Dread Thief 4 Starhawk Max Payne 3 Star Wars: The Old Republic Duke Nukem Forever Spec Ops: The Line Eight Days Agent Prey 2 Doom 4 Jade Empire 2 Dead Island I Am Alive Skyrim Syndicate Wardevil Dragon Quest X StarCraft Ghost And he even said that he'd put money on nobody getting it which means nobody was close at this point (post 132)

Ah well, I won't hold it against IGN's editors for being dishonest as I am genuinely excited about this game.

[Stitch]

Oh my god it's not dead. Now let's hope that it's actually good. lol

edit: mh no gameplay but still a cool trailer

[Combichristoffersen]

Watched the trailer. Did not become interested.

[AceBandage]

Is there even a system listed?
Or hell, how does the game even play?

[Backfoggen]

Whoa

[Painraze]

boring

[LiK]

awesome trailer. i liked the editing.

btw, never heard of this game or its original announcement.

[BMX Bandit]

I think the last time I heard about this game the ps3 wasn't even out yet.

[Rahxephon91]

Looks awesome. I hope it actually keeps it's word on the things they said about the game. The trailer was awesome, I'm really glad this is alive.

[Arnie]

That was a fantastic trailer, well worth the hype.

[Letters]

that was great

[AniHawk]

that's going to be one short game.

[StuBurns]

The trailer really wasn't even very good, I got an advertisement before it, and pop-ups which almost never happens... Fuck you IGN.

[Maddog]

Oscar worthy.

[Salz01]

That trailer is 3 mins and 6 seconds too long.

[Darklord]

About 2 years too late. Only zombie game I care about anymore is Dead Rising.

[aegies]

Ya don't say. Ah well, I won't hold it against IGN's editors for being dishonest as I am genuinely excited about this game.

I didn't see it mentioned when I posted originally. I've contacted the two people I saw mention the game first RE: money where my mouth is, etc.

[Lunchbox]

booooooooooo

[TheUsual]

That was a pretty cool trailer.

[bobbytkc]

really nicely done trailer. if i must say so myself.

[RoboPlato]

I actually really liked the trailer as a standalone entity but it did nothing to actually get me excited about the game. It was basically just an entertaining little short.

[shwimpy]

Never heard of it... Wiki says:

Dead Island is a survival horror first-person shooter with RPG elements, currently in development by Techland for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360.

I'm guessing the PC version will be eventually canceled. =(

The game features a sandbox style gameplay on a tropical island. The zombie style and the story are massively influenced by George A Romero's movies. The game is focused on melee combat, the player can pick up almost anything and use it as a weapon. There might be multiple playable characters.

Sounds like Left4Dead on an island. =/

[DMPrince]

Ya don't say. Ah well, I won't hold it against IGN's editors for being dishonest as I am genuinely excited about this game.

it's like Filthie Rich of namco putting up ToV into the blurred image and say it was ToGF warped in a way to look like it.

[MightyHedgehog]

Thought that this was canceled. Nice vid, though I would like to know how this plays. Sort of reminded me of Demons and Demons 2.

[EmCeeGramr]

What a serious and somber trailer for dismembered bikini zombies on a tropical island.

[Momo]

Meh, not worth the wait.

[GeoramA]

Never heard of it... Wiki says: I'm guessing the PC version will be eventually canceled. =( Sounds like Left4Dead on an island. =/

The IGN article says 360, PS3, and PC.

[AniHawk]

What a serious and somber trailer for dismembered bikini zombies on a tropical island.

depression sells.

[Host Samurai]

Another fucking FPS game getting over hyped. Looks good but pretty disappointing.

[Guevara]

Good trailer.

The music and backwards action feels like a car insurance commercial.

"Allstate, like it never even happened"

[Galvanise_]

Well, that is a fuck awesome trailer.

[Neuromancer]

Amazing trailer, hopefully an amazing game.

Good trailer. The music and backwards action feels like a car insurance commercial. "Allstate, like it never even happened"

:lol

[WillyFive]

Well, the trailer itself was well made. So I say IGN had some truth to it when they hyped up the trailer.

[Rahxephon91]

I'm guessing the PC version will be eventually canceled. =( Sounds like Left4Dead on an island. =/

Why? It's not published my MS. Also it is said to be an open world game with a focus on melee combat. Going by the other stuff they have done and the trailer it also seems like it will be very story focused.

[Backfoggen]

Never heard of it... Wiki says: I'm guessing the PC version will be eventually canceled. =( Sounds like Left4Dead on an island. =/

L4D had sandbox-style gameplay?

[Always-honest]

well, i have to admit that it was awesome imo.

[Diseased Yak]

So, Dead Rising: Island Vacation Edition? Sounds kinda neat I guess, I'm assuming you'll be able to drive around and stuff. I will remain cautiously optimistic until I see gameplay...

[Dennis]

wauw, that game was really stuck in development hell....

get it?

guys?

[DieH@rd]

CGI of total unkown game..... meh. Im gonna wait for some gameplay vids/impressions.

[RustyNails]

Utter disappointment. Fucking zombie island game??

[ezekial45]

Oh yeah, i forgot about this game. It's from the Call of Juarez team, right?

[LQX]

Great trailer indeed. Hope it translate to a good game. I like anything with Zombies.

[Qaz Kwaz]

WHOA! This had a heavy LOST vibe to it. Looks great.

[fanboi]

Nice... really nice.

[Littleberu]

Mirror? Stupid ass player
