Exec 1: We need a game that the geeks are going to lap up, a 100% sure fire hit!
Exec 2: How do we do that?
Exec 1: We just have to figure out what geeks love.
Exec 2: Well CoD is sales gold, that's an FPS.
Exec 1: GTA is cash-in-a-box, and that's an open world game.
Junior Exec: Geeks love Zombies... and games with the word 'Dead' in the title.

All: Hang on a second!!!!

As I said in another topic about this trailer is that it made me really interestid in the game.

And also nearly made me cry...

Now if you will excuse me I have something in my eye.

Gives me hope for possession to come back, since it had the same problem as dead island. They both couldn't land a publisher.
This is the same Dead Island, their isn't two of them. Well this does have a publisher now.

All is correct except this game main focus is melee combat.

A-Level student style direction and the shock/brutality/realness/whateverbuzzwordyouwant of showing a dead child is not a good cover up for YET ANOTHER zombie game. I'm not being suckered in that easily, sorry.

After about three years in limbo, the game Dead Island has a new trailer. A trailer that reminds me of The Walking Dead.

Where's chicago ted when you need him?
I heard that they had some new publisher or something, so I knew it wasn't dead. It really suprising that it's moving so quickly, I would of thought that they would of have to of completely restarted.

I couldn't believe that yesterday was the first I'd heard of this game. I love the idea of zombie survival in a sandbox; warms my heart.

Regardless of how good the game itself is, this may be the best trailer I've seen in a long time, certainly for a game. The complex and emotional storytelling crammed into 3 minutes beats the hell out of most 90-120 minute films that have come out of Hollywood lately.

Looks cool. I hope the melee kills are more visceral then left 4 dead.

There it was just "*Whack* *Dead*

This looks awesome. Great trailer. Second-most hype inducing trailer ever (First is Duke nukem forever)

Dead Rising 2 and Dead Island are really beginning to turn me off from the whole zombie genre. If a real zombie apocalypse happened, I wouldn't know what to do. I don't want to die, but what about my loved ones who were mutated into heartless killers? J###s, I'm beginning to cry...

It looks different to most previous zombie games, i'm still wondering how well the coop will work...

Also if you spend most of the game hiding in a room trying to stop the legions of zombies with just a door and an axe it's going to be awesome, zombies need to seem more threatening (looking at you Dead Rising 2!)

And slow zombies or fast zombies? Slow zombies seem to be the only kinda that will work given it's a mostly melee focused game
