I loved both Dead Island games, technical issues and glitches aside. I'm definitely looking forward to this.

Animations look like they were ripped straight from Mirrors Edge.

Mirrors Edge mixed with improved dead island combat, could be a fantastic combination
No.

That looked awesome, can't wait!
Between this and Saint's Row 4's oddly Prototype-y looking animations, I'm beginning to wonder if there's a public domain animation library they use for this stuff.
Because the climbing something and turn with hand out to jump across animation IS the Mirror's Edge one.,
I want it, I want it now.
They need to work on that physics, the hits don't seem visceral enough.
Is this a bad thing?

Which were ripped from real life!

One thing I hope about this game is that they got rid of the constant breaking weapons. As it just becomes more of a chore than actually a fun mechanic.

Oh wow, that looks incredible. As mentioned, the animations look like they were ripped from Mirrors Edge, which is no bad thing. Really taken aback by how good it looks, this could be a suitable replacement if ME2 should, heavens forbid, end up not being as magnificent as we all hope it will be...
And wow at the size of the horde on the bridge. Almost matching those seen in Dead Rising. Goddamn. Also loving the detail on the zeds. The skin/flesh peeling away on some of them is a great touch as is them implementing the more dangerous night time zeds from DR.
Fantastic use of music throughout too. Just...wow. I'm truly in love.

That look great, the daylight scavenging looks fun and night-time survival seems to have some real tension to it. Am looking forward to see how it plays outside of a highly scripted demo.
I wonder how they motivate the player during night to not hide somwhere safe or something, there has got tbe more to it other than "survive".
That would be awesome.
That would be awesome.
So Mirror's Edge plus Messiah of Might and Magic spike strips

You come into a thread about zombie games to complain about zombie games?

That's not a bad thing.
You already know how missions will work from that 12 minute video?
Whats the over/under one how much of that actually makes it to the Final game? When a company says Pre-Alpha you would think it means to expect glitches. But it usuals means Target game play, subject to completly change.
I will take the under that we basicly end up with a next gen Dead Island minus the Parkour and texture quality. With Massive screen tearing even on next gen.

It's far too early to say. It could be that those air drop missions are merely there to help progress the story with the rest of the game working on a random and open mission system not unlike that of SoD, DR or DI.

This isn't really a case of both going for real life and ending up being similar. They clearly had mirrors edge playing on the side while animating this game. Most of them are identical.
You can only do so much with variety, I don't see why this is a complaint. If it is one
