Neat trailer

Absolutely brilliant trailer. Let's hope the game lives up to it.

Such an awesome trailer. Been butchered from every angle already, with so many different songs, edits and remixes.

Kind of ballsy of them to beat up a little girl in such an explicit way. Cheap, but rare enough to still be a little shocking.

One of the best gametrailers I know.

  This provokes more feeling than the entire 1st series of The Walking Dead.

So is there any chance the the game will live up to the potential that this trailer gives it?
 
I mean that honestly as I have heard zero about this game until now.

Well we haven't seen a This is Sparta remix yet so it hasn't been entirely butchered.

@Slaker117: I thought it was great. It brought some "realism" to the zombie outbreak. It's harsh and totally fucked up. That's what makes World War Z amazing too.

now THIS is a good trailer.

Anyone know the title of the music in this trailer?
tgammeton Feb. 17, 2011 at 4:25 p.m.
Does nothing for me. Have they shown gameplay vids yet?
Sharpshooteron Feb. 17, 2011 at 4:30 p.m.
@tgammet: Yeah they showed gameplay trailers back in 2007, with the release date set for 2008.

From what I hear, first impressions of the game are excellent, but the studio has actually pointed out that this is just one scenario of what could happen to people on the island. 
 
I think Wired has the best reaction to the trailer: "Cautious optimism"  http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2011/02/dead-island-trailer/ 
 
This is what Destructoid had to say:  http://www.destructoid.com/impressions-your-first-look-at-dead-island-194120.phtml 
 
Hope that helped.

good trailer... cant wait to see some actual gameplay though.
ZeroCaston Feb. 17, 2011 at 4:35 p.m.
Good CG. Nice marketing.
Pinworm45on Feb. 17, 2011 at 4:37 p.m.
Still absolutely do not see the appeal of the trailer. What am I missing here? It's slowmo zombies backwards and a little girl is involved with 2006 era CG. Completely unoriginal. I'm just not getting why this is praised as a masterpiece genius of a trailer.

Kind of surprising the emotional response this trailer has produced!
