    Default Dead Island

    I guess this game has gone through a snails pace but another dev company took over and is attempting to finish it.

    Looks like another zombie survival game (yeah way too many) but with more 'realism' to it, no easy access to crazy machine guns or shotguns with ammo everywhere, i guess youre fighting mostly melee with pretty much anything you can scavenge around while also having to use your brain to figure out what to do next (unlike DR1/DR2 where theres is tons of guidance/hints) - maybe a little Walking Dead kind of situation mixed with silent hill/RE gameplay, supposed to be VERY gory ( )

    Just an (awesome) FMV trailer but the screenshots show a pretty respectable grphx engine for the most part and great mechanics like the Multi layer face thing:

    Can't wait! Followed the game for a bit before they cancelled, glad they picked it up again.

    Loved the first trailer. It's quite poignant, I must say.

    Looks awesome! Dead rising 2 wasn't as good as I was expecting. I wonder if there will be any co-op MP like dead rising 2.

    Don't be ridiculous, you can NEVER have too many zombie survival games

    I'm excited because this one seems to be more about surviving than "LOL IM PLOWING THROUGH ZOMBIES" which I got tired of with L4D1 , I bought L4D2 and only played 2 hrs of it before I yawned and thought "meh, more of the same"

    ^ this year no idea as to when

    I found out the game engine is Chrome Engine 5 which is the same but upgraded as sniper ghost warrior and nail'd which = amazing foliage and detail

    The game is also 4 player story online coop at any point in the game

    Set in an open world tropical island, hordes of different festering zombies await players around every corner while they embark on a variety of thrilling missions through the holiday resort. With firearms and ammunition being scarce the player must rely on utilising found items as weapons for self-defense and fight off zombie hordes in intense melee combat. A diverse range of items can be collected and will later serve to transform the player's ordinary makeshift weapons into serious instruments of destruction.

    so definitely lots of melee over firepower

    That sounds like an awesome game. Sure hope they can pull it off as well as they describe...

    LOL @ "Exploding/Suicidal Zombies"...

    Some new details:

    Innovative gameplay and unique atmosphere
    Over 20 different locations spread over 50 sq. miles of destroyed land giving a silent testimony of the terrible annihilation
    35 kind of weapons and over 40 elements of equipment
    Radioactive deserts, decay and countless creepy mutants
    The Last V8 and over 60 miles of sun burnt highways.

    i didnt think it needed a car but for 50 sq miles im sure you'd use it lots lol loving the ghrphx engine in this game so far from the screens at least

    i like what i'm seeing so far, shooting kneecaps, creating weapons, the little details when driving like sun glare on a smashed windshield vs what it looks like in the shade, its like they took everything from most of the top zombie games as of late and then put somemore, then made an RPG out of it.
