Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Think I remember hearing something about this a few years ago, with a small trailer but IGN have a preview on it today along with a proper announcement trailer. Looks like a more "realistic" approach to a zombie game - not too much in the way of guns and you just have to use what weapons you can lay your hands on, but not in the same style of Dead Rising http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/115/1150440p1.html Looks pretty decent, but as mentioned in the preview, will the first person melee approach wear thin after you've killed the 100th zombie with a baseball bat? Time will tell, but the trailer looks awesome Edited February 17, 2011 by Dog-amoto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 17, 2011 Looks like this will be an awesome game, the general concept and direction they've gone in with it at least deserve some attention. I don't think it will sell particularly well though unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 17, 2011 I dunno, it seems that zombie things are pretty popular right now. Although if most consumers share my views, they're probably starting to get sick of it all by now. Dead Island does look interesting though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 17, 2011 I loved the trailer!!!! Sets a very distinct tone which I hopes carries through to the game. At least it is trying to do something different from pretty much every other zombie game out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2011 That is the fucking coolest game trailer anyone has ever made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2011 This could be badass. Zombie games before hand have not focused on any great story, but the way that trailer was put together, and the look of that setting in the screenshot - this could be something special. A sleeper hit maybe? Although it depends if it's pumped through the hype machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 21, 2011 I thought it was excellent. Great trailer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2011 Strangely I feel compelled to get this game but I do think it sounds very similar to dead rising... even though I've not played dead rising and don't really feel compelled to play it. Sweet trailer anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2011 The game will never live up to the emotional promise of the trailer. It just blew its load at square one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2011 They might as well call the game: "Left 4 Dead Rising".... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 8, 2011 Oh dear. http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/115/1153496p1.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 23, 2011 Whoa, this looks really really really cool! Scratch that this looks fucking amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 23, 2011 Co-op story - excellent. Looks very cool from that video! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 23, 2011 Borderlands meets Left4Dead as well as some Fallout, looks amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 23, 2011 Borderlands meets Left4Dead as well as some Fallout Looks more like a first person dead rising game to me, only with hardly any zombies. I'm interested, but not excited. The first teaser video got me excited, actual gameplay is less impressive to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 24, 2011 Co-op really interests me. I play left 4 dead 2 with friends most nights so I really want to see something good from the multiplayer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 24, 2011 As interesting as this looks, it is hugely different from what they talked about before Guess I need to shelf my dream of a genuine zombie survival game for a longer time. Not that I will skip this game, by law I need to get everything co-op related. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 24, 2011 I watched Gametrailers walkthrough thingy and love the look of the game. I'm kinda hoping the plot and story for this will be amazing and its kinda of hard to get a feel for it completely as your only getting this vertical slice of the game. With any luck we will get more as the articles start to pour out as journo's get more time with it. Although I do like the borderlands/dead rising/fallout3/left 4 dead mash up it seems to have.
