Surely it can't be. I am a New Zealander, and these guys sound nothing like how I speak or how I hear others speak on a daily basis. Are you sure, or is it just supposed to be and done badly?Aprilgold said:

How can you make a tongue-in-cheek satire of Dead Rising? Dead Rising is pretty damn tongue-in-cheek as it is. Are we getting into the Inception of satire/humor now?Stiffkittin said:
OT: My interest in this game has slowly but surely been killed ever since the release of that awesome trailer, you all know the one I'm talking about. We went from awesome, cinematic zombie experience to, "I already own Dead Rising 2, L4D and Killing Floor."
I'll probably pick it up at some point, just not for $60.
Okay, I keep watching the trailer over and over again trying to make myself interested. So lets look at this:
It's a co-op zombie game. Even if it has a single-player you're probably going to play with bots. Oh, boy.
The setting is fantastic and zombies seem to abound. So that's a good thing.
The weapons are more geared to comedy. (FUUUU)
That's possibly the most inappropriate music for a game trailer ever.
I'm screwed. I will never have a serious zombie-survival epic. People want Zombieland way too much. That's fine, but I don't want it. This had the opportunity to eat up a lot of the "Just waiting for Skyrim" time too.

What's wrong with Left for dead on an island? L4D is a great series, can't do much harm by mixing L4D with a sand box type of game.Azuaron said:
Truth be told your not seeing how close it is to being L4D. When they designed the first L4D they intended to have it open ended there be a few routes to a few endings. If you play L4D1 you can feel how some levels seem to be continuations of others. Well in testing people always took the same route (I assume no mercy and skipped dead air) so they chopped it into levels and moved played decision on route from in game to in menu. What I have seen of dead island it is the open ended model of game play L4d meant to be originally. Don't get me wrong I like L4D and I have a preorder of 'Sland.Scarim Coral said:
PS strong zombie is the incredible hulk so it was copied already.
I love L4D as much as the next guy, but I was hoping for something more. A knockoff from another company will certainly pale in comparison to L4D2 (not to mention whatever Valve cooks up next).Your Nightmare said:

Comedy weapons would be like an electrified knife that I saw. Yes, in reality it would work but no right-minded person would actually do it for anything but "teh lulz". Don't get me wrong, I love my zomedy as much as the next guy (zombie/comedy) but honestly, I'm ready for serious-face stuff. Dead Rising 2 still had flaming boxing gloves and laser swords.mcnally86 said:
I didn't notice the electric knife. Though I'm not sure that comedy that's more getting sci-fi in my horror fantasy. But while there is lots of comedy weapons in DR2 you didn't have to use them. Basically it was the story of a guy in loot and shoot bimbo-topia that had to take care of his daughter. He had an immediate goal and you had to stay on track or she would die. That said you could play the game like a Frank West and chase the ladies but I would of felt like a terrible virtual daddy. So now they are redoing DR2 just so you don't feel bad for not saving anyone. Frank doesn't do human emotions baby, he's in it for numoro uno.Inkidu said:
Someone has to say it. There's no way that palm tree leaf is going to support a grown man on a noose.
Also, why hanging? is he a zombie? not really the easiest person to get to hold still while you hoist them up the tree.
Did he hang himself so he wouldn't get eaten? because that doesn't seem like a good plan, if he does it wrong he only ends up as a hanging meal for the zombies while he's still conscious and maybe paralyzed.
Is he infected and did it so he wouldn't hurt others? Again, easy to screw up, then you end up as target practice for any survivors that won't be thinking about giving you a dignified death.

Looks like a multiplayer focussed zombie slaying adventure. Not a bad, but the pre-release trailer had me expecting something with a bit more emotional depth. Now I don't know what to think about it.
I guess I'll wait to see what the general reaction is when it comes out.
