Way too much Chromatic Abberation.

Can we get a two year moratorium on Zombie Horror Games? The thrill is gone.

Everything Mirror's Edge sounds great, but this gives me a Dead Island vibe and I don't see that much difference between them :/

 

[Samir Sedlar]

They are milking themselves dry with the whole FPS zombies thing, don't they also have another game set in old times or something IIRC

Kinda surprised that they're not mentioning co-op right now as it is pretty much the only way to truly have fun in the dead island games.

Thank the lord

I've played the first game in single player and coop and Riptide single player, had great fun everytime regardless of multi or not The melee system is fantastic, really satisfying to play.

That's how I feel, too! Love a bit of Techland.

They're akin to some sort of grind house studio. Keep it coming.

I like Techland a lot as well. With the exception of the shittastic The Cartel I've enjoyed most of their games. They won't win any awards but they're a solid studio who pump out enjoyable games. Kudos to them as well for being one of the few studios for making enjoyable melee first person combat as well, the analog combat control in the Dead Island games are great.

I do wonder how many studios/people they have though, as someone said earlier they pump games out pretty regularly!

Just watched the Giantbomb TNT and Jeff said that he was impressed by the daytime/nighttime stealth and scavenging mechanics in this game when he saw it last week, which is remarkable since he loathes Zombie games.

Updated the OP with a cinematic trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpnSvIaTh9I

The animation is alright, the art style is fine too, but I'm not digging the song :/

It was CGI; and the song means nothing!
I hate that kind of music, but I thought it was OK for the trailer; hopefully we'll see gameplay next week.

Still, it's kind of a let down compared to their DI and DI:R CGI trailers. I'm also crossing my fingers for some delicious E3 gameplay.

I got to chapter 5 in the first Dead Island then got burned out, it's way too repetitive in my opinion.

If the gameplay is improved I might be interested in this.

Have you tried co-op? Imo, it's just like Borderlands. Sure, you could play it solo, but it would be a boring repeatitive idea. Most of my fun in these games has been running around with others. Really loved Dead Island with my friend.

I know what you mean; but at least this might be a great game!
I can't wait for gameplay, this really could be one of the first "proper" next gen games.

Let's hope it's at least representative of the game this time.

Specifically referring to the parkour elements, the first person views in the trailers and the fact that there will be other groups or survivors after the same resources as you.

is this download only? or am i thinking of a different game?

Does Dying Light offer Coop? Killing Zombies is always better with friends

 

[Acheteedo]

Gah! Why are there no gameplay videos yet? I'm pumped for this game.

Does Dying Light offer Coop? Killing Zombies is always better with friends

Co-op was confirmed I believe.
