I think the word I'm looking for is "pedestrian".

An old thread for Dead Island back in 2007.

[IonicSnake]

It was a cool trailer but doesn't really tell me anything about the game so it's kinda hard to get excited.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I wonder who's publishing it.

It's being made by Techland so maybe it's Ubisoft although I could see MS getting behind it.

 

[Fallout-NL]

Sorta poignant.

 

[Zombie James]

I liked it.

 

[Gravijah]

L4D had sandbox-style gameplay?

l4d has zombies weapons and multiple playable characters

 

[BentMyWookiee]

Trailer was sweet

 

[Mama Robotnik]

The trailer is well made, but as its more of a short movie rather than being indicative of anything resembling gameplay, game context or scenario. For that I'm apathetic. The TRAILER OF THE YEAR™ should remember that its a trailer for a game and not a movie.

Ya don't say.

[LIST INCLUDES DEAD ISLAND]

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

The IGN Hype Machine doesn't let a think like honesty get in the way of its nonsense-spewing.

 

[derFeef]

Wow, noone remember this game? I was pretty excited when it popped up years ago but I must admit I have forgotten about it.

boring

 

[wwm0nkey]

Do you guys seriously not remember this game? It had a bit of hype when the market wasnt flooded with zombie games and was advertised as an open world zombie game.

I said it in the last thread but this and Class3&4 (4 being the MMO) will probably be the last 3 zombie games I will ever need.

 

[water_wendi]

Wonderful trailer. Just as a short movie its better than anything Romero has released in the 2000's.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Last time I heard about it was in Leipzig.



Nice trailer. Early footage looked worse though, both graphically and artistically.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

It was a good trailer, but IGN were as hyperbolic as ever.

I'm always up for more zombies if it's in a good game. Just because everyone is doing it lately doesn't mean these guys won't find something new and awesome to bring us

 

[soultron]

Anyone want to YouTube it?

Want to share this on Facebook. Really cool trailer.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

It looked a bit like a zombie outbreak in Playstation Home.

I did like it though

 

[BlueTsunami]

I rolled my eyes when everything started going in reverse. Hey, a game we saw back in 2007, here it is again in CG! I wonder if we'll have to wait another five years to see something else from it.

 

[Dennis]

I remember looking forward to this game years ago....

....but how the fuck do these guys have the money for this kind of trailer?

Somebody must really believe in this game.

Get hype!

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Why hate on the trailer? I thought it was great. Can't wait to see how the actual game looks.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

What do you know, it is an amazing trailer, and I was always looking forward to the game, glad to see it back.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Ya don't say.



Ah well, I won't hold it against IGN's editors for being dishonest

I will. It's annoying that they can get away with massive trolling on GAF.

 

[Revolutionary]

Very cool. Funny that it was one of the first few guesses and was denied, though. Never change, IGN.

Anyway, I have faith in Techland (except for that new Call of Juarez... -shudders) so here's hoping this will be awesome.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

I remember that short teaser they had a long time ago, but now it looks like it will be for PC and 360 which is nice. So MS has this and then Undead Studios open world and MMO zombie game, sweet. The trailer I thought was really good and had a strong emotional pull on it especially the ending with the flashbacks, I really liked it a lot.

That is one fast acting zombie virus.

 

[eternaLightness]

Wow that was pretty good!

Get hype!

Their publisher actually asked them to do a media black out for all these years. Must be really good stuff if it was funded for all these years.

 

[Neuromancer]

Wonderful trailer. Just as a short movie its better than anything Romero has released in the 2000's.

Sad but 100% true

 

[black_vegeta]

Nice trailer, looking forward to it.

I love zombie games.

 

[GraveRobberX]

So Dead Rising + Left 4 Dead + Resident Evil Outbreak = Dead Island?

 

[VGChampion]

Never heard of it. Not sure if I'm in the mood for another zombie game.

 

[Graphics Horse]

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

Well not without ironsights, obviously.

 

[Jex]

Not too shabby bad actually, although the reversed motion does remind of those "Don't Drink and Drive" ads.

The tone, at least, is very different from most works in the genre.

 

[Ezalc]

Long forgotten for a reason it seems.

 

[Raide]

Interesting trailer. Game + Zombies = Count Me In!

 

[Gravijah]

Hm, I like the trailer. It was pretty well done.

 

[GitarooMan]

Very cool stuff. I'm one of the 5 or so people who think Nail'd is pretty cool, so I'm definitely looking forward to see what Techland will do here.

 

[Lonesome_Raod]

HELL YES! I'll get to the trailer in a minute but I've been waiting on news for so long now.

 

[msdstc]

I never get hyped for these reveals, as I'm sure a ton of people are dissapointed. That being said I'm actually surprised by this reveal, it sounds very interesting, will definitely look into this.

 

[Sadist]

We sure love zombies this gen.

Trailer is nice, but basicly we've got nothing.

 

[electroshockwave]

I wonder if the actual game will have zombie children or if it's just in the trailer.

And I'd written this game off as vaporware. IIRC the same developers were also working on a PC/360 FPS called Warhound, maybe if it will eventually surface too.

 

[Omiee]

i remember someone saying this was a 360 exclusive not long ago, well console exclusive to the 360.
guess its multi platform now, ill have to wait and see some game play before i pass judgment on it.

 

[MrCompletely]

that trailer got to me; it's telling a pretty somber story there. Maybe it's because I have a little girl.

 

[Psychotext]

I really like the trailer. Someone work out a way of playing it backwards.

 

[iceatcs]

Hmm Techland, I think I will hold it. But do they have another work on 2011 as well?

 

[Veal]

Yep. Bout sick of zombies.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Oh the trailer is amazing, but unfortunately I want to see some gameplay. But I'm happy that the game is still coming.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Amazing trailer and music... so good.

Now give me some gameplay videos because I don't trust Deep Silver. And seriously, another FPS game? I just cannot at this shit genre.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Nice trailer, but the game will have to be more Siren than Dead Rising to interest me.
