[Dennis]

I approve.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I saw what was basically a charger and the little lightning blade from Dead Island.

man, Dead Island really was the beta for this thing. And yeah, refreshing not to hear fucking Troy Baker or Nolan North./

I hope he occasionally uses cockney slang and if he doesn't cunt at least once, I'll have no choice but to write a strongly worded letter to the developers.

 

[Fezan]

i know what is wrong with tech land engine it seems most beautiful and most ugly engine at the same time

 

[Violater]

You already know how missions will work from that 12 minute video?

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.

I just don't like the fact that someone is always pulling the strings telling me what to go do.

 

[Dunkers92]

Man I'm not usually into zombie games but this is off to a good start. Looks amazing

 

[Fantastical]

I hate when people showing demos turn around and move so slowly. Looks pretty good though.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I hate when people showing demos turn around and move so slowly. Looks pretty good though.

I was wondering if that might be a gameplay feature, just a button to check how many zombies are currently chasing you.

i am glad i am not the only one that noticed that big creature look and behave like a charger from l4d2

"I need to find out what's happening inside this house RIGHT NOW! but wait! lets look around on the roof for a bit so we can see the whole rendered world"

 

[Zep]

The most impressive thing about this demo? The moving trees, plants, window blinds...Something really missing from games this generation. Adds atmosphere.

 

[K1ng P3n]

Looks much better than I thought it would.

 

[schuey7]

The game looks great.I am loving the more realistic lighting and approach to the game.

 

[T.O.P]

holy crap at the night phase-change


loking like an insta buy atm

 

[Hindle]

That looks very promising.

I'm hyped for the other Zombie types they have as well.

 

[GrizzNKev]

It will be just as bad as Dead Island, calling it now.

 

[Vidpixel]

Woah, consider me impressed. I'll remain cautiously optimistic about this one.

 

[SniperHunter]

this will be a fun game for 15 minutes. aimlessly running around killing zombies and then running some more...yea

 

[Doomshroom]

Not a game for me.

 

[RedRooster]

Holy crap, being able to traverse that easily will make that game 10x better than Dead Island, which I already loved.

 

[GhostRidah]

I had no idea about this game, need to pre order asap.

 

[BobLoblaw]

Game looks nice, but I'd only buy it if the campaign was available for co-op (which it sounds like it won't be...).

 

[Dance Inferno]

Wow, this looks great. However, I do see one possible issue with the parkour in this game.

During the day, it looks like it would be extremely easy to just avoid all combat and parkour your way through the city without having to fight any of the slow zombies. At night, it seems like whenever you get caught, you could very easily get lost and start running in circles if there is no decent map or waypoint system since it's hard to see anything.

Other than that it looks pretty phenomenal.

 

[DangerStepp]

So this is what they've been working on since they shat out Dead Island 1.5

 

[eso76]

Looked pretty amazing.
dead island had potential

 

[Theecliff]

That actually looks pretty good!

The voice acting is pretty shit though.

 

[Totobeni]

The level is very similar to Moresby map of Dead Island, melee combat too but you now have new movesset, anyway I hope they make this less repetitive and add a FOV slider.

 

[Vibranium]

Looks pretty good actually, I'm digging the way nighttime looks so far. It might not be the best game ever but the parkour looks like a great way to up the tension and fun.

 

[Fracas]

That looks really, really good.

 

[block tower]

looks really fun, id buy it day one. the visuals are nice but it needs a bit of blue and red injected into the game to break up all the yellows, browns and greens of the games art design.

 

[jond76]

It will be just as bad as Dead Island, calling it now.

Buuuuuut, I like Dead Island.

 

[Xanathus]

Apparently throwing a knife into a barrel makes it explode :/

 

[Data West]

rest of the game after that will take place in narrow sewers.

 

[Majanew]

Wow looks great! Now what's Dead Rising 3's excuse?

 

[BadTaste]

Dead Island ran and looked like shit on PS3, I won't be surprised if this does too.

 

[REV 09]

This looks great. Mirrors Edge is a great game to draw from imo. Hopefully we get more of this next gen.

 

[Parakeetman]

Apparently throwing a knife into a barrel makes it explode :/

Better complain about running on sheet metal roofs first and climbing an wall that has a rug draped over it without it slipping out from under you causing the player to faceplant.

It was exactly the same in Dead Island. Almost anything thrown at an explosive object would cause it to go boom.

 

[AngelsDontBurn]

It will be just as bad as Dead Island, calling it now.

Well then it should be pretty good, because Dead Island was actually quite a bit of fun! Especially with co-op!

 

[Salex]

I hate the mission system already, just let me do wtf I want to do how is that so hard to understand.
No more fetch quests, no more taking damn orders!

This is one of the reasons why they show so much CGI footage, people jump to conclusions so fast it doesn't make any sense.

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.

The point of this is to encourage people to pick and choose your fights carefully and to get out of the mindless mashing. This works great in this game and I'm glad they aren't dumbing shit down.

I hope they add co-op so I can forget about DR3 and have my zombie fix while I wait for the polished DayZ on PS4 (pls).

 

[JJD]

Looks really good.

Hopefully techland can pull out a really good game this time.

 

[Haunted]

Looks like a solid evolution of Dead Island.

I know it's a presentation with a specific goal but that video did look awfully scripted, and I'm sure some of the lines weren't actually in-game but dubbed over the video.


Depending on how much of this target atmosphere and feel they can capture for the final product, this could be quite something.

 

[-MD-]

Wow. I love Dead Island and this looks like a great step forward. Definitely buying this for the coop.

 

[Hindle]

A varied amount of Zombie will be the key to this game being great. Each different type should challenge the player and make us adapt on the fly.

They hint at armed Merc groups as well which should be interesting.

 

[Archpath1]

looks good awe yea cant wait

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

Looking pretty good.

 

[BrickArmour]

So I guess being bitten doesn't make you infected? You are immune to the disease somehow?

 

[bLaiSe]

This looks really good. Seems like a big jump from Dead Island.

 

[Turin Turambar]

Ugh, no. Open games without missions are usually so boring.

 

[DracoBlade]

The gameplay indeed takes a lot from Mirror's Edge (though anything remotely with parkour will forever be cited as "mirror's edgy" it seems) but this really looks to be the culmination of Techland's experience gleaned from Dead Island and bodes very well for the future of this now, for me, promising next gen title. Unfortunately initially the combat did look very repetitive/flaccid if not fully ripped from Dead Island (what with floaty weapon wielding/waist kicks) but, thankfully the parkour as well as dynamic meld of attacks and the environment (remember the spike wall part?) impressed me. Visually speaking the lighting seems overblown, bleached out with bloom (lol look at his extended hand when he's climbing the poll to jump into the apartment for an example) but that could be poor video compression as well as a possible game strategy to emphasize the change from light to night. Textures could really use some work (see the door when he tries to open the apartment) to and the child's face looked current gen barely (dead eyes/little emotion whatsoever), the zombie's faces have more life/detail than hers! Probably a vestige/compromise of being a cross gen title. The wind physics are absolutely next gen tech that looks realistic and beautiful for tropical weather simulation, Love how much the foliage/palms move unlike this gen with static rotating JPEG brush, yuck. All in all the game looks amazing the night parkour special infected really look

Spoiler

(like lickers/jeepers creepers with split jaws)

refreshing!

 

[GuitarAtomik]

About damn time. Don't know why they waited so long to show video of it. All I heard were positive things during E3.

 

[Nokterian]

Looks very good,the parkour is cool and when it turned night was pretty scary this will make my heart adreline go faster for sure.
