Trailer was great, very interested in this game.

IGN wins.

 

[iceatcs]

So IGN - The child killer.

 

[Mdk7]

Ok, they were right this time.
This is probably the best trailer i've ever seen (or at least surely it's among the very best ones)... It's just astonishing.

Here it is: Dead Island Trailer.

Jesus Christ.

[Songbird]

Colour me impressed. I didn't even remember this as the game with the futuristic damage mapping and layers.

 

[Hellshadow]

Sure the CG was nice, but I'd like to see some gameplay.

Check your PMs.

 

[MarshMellow96]

Goddamn IGN liars. Bringing the integrety of gaming journalism down.

 

[Mama Robotnik]

1300 response thread on GAF is fine, though, right?

No we're fools for going along with them and being baited.

What exactly would have satisfied you?

Ho shit ~

 

[MrCompletely]

[Requeim]

Radogol got it right first. RADOGOL

What a switcharound. A good game but an average trailer.

And more than few said Dead Island.

But will a first-person melee combat action game with RPG elements really work?

I've seen so little of Dead Island that it's impossible to make that call yet.

Yeuch at IGN. That game type's been done before with success and they decided to write a preview about something they don't know.

 

[Sinatar]

Oh boy. Another zombie game. Hoo. Ray.

WELL MAYBE HE HAS A PM TOO.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

It was, in fact, a pretty good trailer. I have no idea what this game is, however.

Arthur, I listen to Rebel FM. Give me a PM!

 

[plagiarize]

just watched on youtube.

very good trailer.

 

[Corto]

The trailer is masterfully done. IGN redeemed. At least with me. I'm not very optimistic on the game though.

 

[NYR]

No we're fools for going along with them and being baited.

Just saying, hype as a mechanism doesn't fit with what was said here. The comments made by IGN are in line with the general consensus of the posts on this forum after the video was posted. If there was exaggeration and misleading information, it was thinly veiled in the opinion that this was a visually stunning trailer.

 

[saladine1]

Anyone who says that was an average trailer needs to seek help, really.
You don't see trailers like that everyday...

 

[Lost Fragment]

Showing a little kid being killed is a pretty cheap way to elicit an emotional connection from people. Trailer of the year? lolll

Am interested in seeing more though.

 

[Calavera520]

Okay, the trailer was actually good.
smh@ Junior kneejerk reactions.

It's a decent trailer, nowhere near worthy of the immense hype. and it's still just another zombie game I don't care what you say.

 

[ArjanN]

What a switcharound. A good game but an average trailer.

It's clearly better than the average game trailer considering at least half of those consist of just text on screen witth quick flashing cuts of gameplay that don't tell you anything.

what did he get..?

A cool 25 cents via paypal.

Don't spend it all in one place Doffen!

You say cheap, someone else could say risky. But it's so skilfully done, with the whole reverse narrative that I'm sure it really caught everyone that was expecting just another video game CG trailer by surprise. The last family frame made it even more meaningful. At least with me it had resonance.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Left 4 Dead Island. Grats IGN.

 

[ArjanN]

Sure the CG was nice, but I'd like to see some gameplay.

GDC is in two weeks. I'm guessing there will be more info soon.
