Possibly NSFW to be on the safe side!

This is purely a cinematic for an upcoming zombie game called "Dead Island."

 

Its caused an uproar from almost every angle... some people think its amazing; others say its not indicative of the game, and is just another hype machine; and others even think its tasteless in its approach.

 

Personally, the game could be terrible, but this was a very, very well done cinematic. (For those who don't know, a cinematic is a trailer in which its all computer rendered, not using any in-game video-- hence, it'll look far nicer than anything in-game). I think it was a really interesting approach with the method; music used strikes a chord; makes you actually care [somewhat] about what is happening; zombies look fantastic; and the whole trailer is just really well polished.

 

Just thought you fellow zombie-ites would find it at least an interesting view

Want. Just finished playing Dead rising 2 twice

That's kind of creepy seeing the whole thing in reverse. I have high hopes for it though.

wow.. almost 1.8 million views in 2 days? That in and of itself is impressive.

Here is the video going backwards.......meaning most of the action plays normally.

 

 

I will be looking forward to this, it's hard to tell what kind of game it will be though.

 

This game looks good, Ill wait before I start getting excited until I see more video, snap shots of game play and maybe some more info, But as of now I looks good.

Wow, crazy amount of emotion from a simple video game trailer.

Heres a link to a trailer of the game showing in game footage.

Graphics look great, but at the end of the video it said "2008". It looked too good to be 3 years old, but you never know.

Yea, this game has been in the works forever actually. I had links, but they're dead now [pun intended! haha]; but I believe this project even pre-dates Left 4 Dead.

 

From what I've read and heard from friends in the business who have seen the working project close up, its an action-rpg-slasher. So, think the 'Silent Hill' series (obviously not the movies) with more back-story and depth. They said the devs want to really make the game involving, like the Elder Scrolls or Fallouts, though I have my doubts about that.

 

But yea, a lot of emotions from what is otherwise just "another zombie game."

Looks there's so much buzz about this game since the recent trailer came out that a producer bought the rights to make it a movie:

Another movie off of a video game trailer? What could go wrong

 

The trailer looks ok but then again, the trailers giveth, the gameplay taketh away. I'm looking at Dragon Age 2, out in a few weeks. Dragon Age Origins was great. This new one is a bit more limited but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and buy it.

I doubt that a movie will be made any time soon for "Dead Island" (I mean, the name alone sounds like another [bad] Romero flick). Just seems like a savvy investment by the producer to pick it up early. Personally I'm still waiting to hear about [brad] Pitt's production of "World War Z." I want to say they almost have a working script, but, gosh, I need to see this movie now.

 

As for DA2, what are your thoughts on the webisodes featuring Felicia Day coming out this Summer? Webisodes seem to be all the rage these days (with everything being streamed). With that said, Q4 this year is going to be amazing. Now only if we could get through the next eight months quickly :icon_neutral:

Felicia Day is my nerd goddess. Even with the goofy ears Elven ears in Redemption. I found out about the redemption trailer from her twitter and that she was on Jimmy Fallon the other night. I suspect that a serious webisode like Redemption will probably not be very good. The Guild is good because of the cringy humor and the off the wall personalities that hit pretty close to home...I've known people just like that.

 

There are two games I'm waiting for this year, Guild Wars 2 and Diablo 3. Everything else is just filler.
