hogso Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 In what may prove to be most misleading trailer of all time, it seems that Dead Island is aiming to be a light-hearted zombie basher along the lines of Dead Rising, rather than the sombre heart-wrencher that the trailer implies. A number of American previews turned up at the weekend, but perhaps the most revealing was IGN's, which attempted to sum up the game in just three words. Those words were: 'Silly. Wacky. Goofy.' It turns out the game is a first person hack 'n' slash with a focus on action rather than drama. Left 4 Dead is also an influence, with a four-player co-operative mode. You pick a class when starting the game and remain immune to zombification for its entirety. Instead of the haunting piano music from the trailer the real game has a heavy metal soundtrack. It's all starting to sound as if the team making the game had no idea what the ones doing the CGI trailer were up to, and vice versa. Perhaps most damning is the news that the holidaying family from the trailer aren’t even in the game. 'It shows no one is safe,' said a Techland developer to website Kotaku. 'Some people made it out, but some didn't and the family dies. That may be difficult to accept.' Judging by the letters we're already starting to get in about it in the Inbox, we suspect Techland are going to need to do a massive U-turn on all this if they're to keep people on board. Looks like some of our fears may be realised ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 7, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted March 7, 2011 Just as most of us said. A good trailer it certainly was, but it didn't reveal anything of what the game would be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 The trailer is heart breaking. Its not about zombies. Its about human tragedy and witnessing a family being torn apart. To say its just slow motion zombie violence is missing the point entirely. I'll excuse Nayson though because I have already established that he is a COLD HEARTED BASTARD. I found the trailer extremely difficult to watch, it's very well made but heart breaking as you say. I don't imagine the game will live up to it somehow.

The_Rev Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yeah, I can see why the trailer might be difficult to watch. Especially if you have a kid of a similar age to the girl in the video. I just spent the whole time thinking that the game would be nothing like the trailer. I guess I do have a heart of stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Oh for **** sake.. 1st Red Dead Redemption missed a trick with how awesome the lasso could have been and now they drop this shit on me? **** game makers are **** retarded.

lapal_fan Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 should have been able to tie it to trees to trip horses up and pick pocket the riders. should have been a mini game where you do the jumping through the lasso spinning thing. could have done more than what they actually did with it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monica mocks him for not getting upset about the ending of Bambi and Chandler says something like " Yeah because it was really sad when the animator STOPPED DRAWING THE DEER " in his usual sarcastic way ..

Junxs Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Tears for Fears or that bloke who sounds like Michael Stipe that did a cover version? The reason I said Coldplay was because it seems to borrow the video style too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxNJHuM0Js0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
