Wait, they got their own version of a Boomer and possibly a "strong" zombie (the big one in a straitjacket)? Couldn't they be abit more creative? Well regardless of that I still think it will be a good game.

Great trailer, I'm looking forward to this game, but since I already pre ordered another, I'll have to wait some time before getting it.

Bloody Hell, I can't wait till Tuesday. This is a vacation I would definitely go on. With a AK-47 and about 1000 rounds of ammunition.

Okay, the first trailer looked like something that would win awards. This trailer looks like Left 4 Dead on an island. I'm hoping it's not just Left 4 Dead on an island...

Wait, where did all the things that moved so many people in the first trailer go. Slapping the same music on this one does not disguise anything. You started by marketing this to us on the promise of a game depicting the sheer horror and sadness of what an actual zombie apocalypse would mean for the people trapped in it. But now it's same old same old it seems. Same old stock characters fighting off the same endless hordes of undead with the same armory of weapons.

Yes, it looked like fun in the same way that all games like this look like fun. But moving, it was not, and I thought that was what the deal was supposed to be with this one.

Bleh. I liked it more when it seemed like you chose one of four characters, then it was just you, all alone, versus zombies. Now it looks like "Left 4 Dead: Tropical Edition" mixed with "Dead Rising".

Pass ... until I can see some evidence that I'm wrong.

I hope the game will be good and will provide solitary experiences, but it looks like I'm going to be right.

It still kinda urks me that they changed the logo for the NA version, when usually they are more loose about such things. Well... there are some japanese games... but look at the L4D boxes, thumbs and fingers blown off.

Anyway, looks amazing, can't wait for the game.

I'll be getting this no matter what for the co-op with my friends. And this simply looks great , could be a great sleeper hit, though I am a bit nervous since the devs last game. Call of Juarez was bad.

I'm so incredibly disappointed that this doesn't have splitscreen co-op, especially since they were pushing multiplayer so much in the trailers. Oh well, i'm probably going to get this as soon as it comes out.

And c'mon this looks nothing like left 4 dead, sure there are 4 people and zombies, but this is more expansive and RPG-ish than left for dead. (Also left 4 dead had splitscreen)

I really can't unsee the "Dead 'Sland" thing from Critical Miss...

OT: Once my economy balances out enough for me to get this game i'm instantly buying it.

Well that music was spectacularly unfitting. I can understand them wanting to get more out of such a great advertisement, but it's your own fault the game is nothing like the trailer, and no matter how hard you smash the two together they aren't gonna fit.

Still, the game does look like fun, and it's nice to have Australians in a game, even if the accents are a bit... well, a bit strong.

Can I put my birthdate in my Escapist profile so the site doesn't keep asking for it every time I want to watch a trailer?

So when did the industry veer sharply away from giblets and smack right into red splatter with zero substance? I might have slept through it.

Game still looks interesting.
