After a zombie virus sweeps across a beautiful island resort, survivors must fight their way to freedom while trying to find out exactly what went down in this open-world first-person action game.
You getting Dead Island this Tuesday?
I really want to see the quicklook and/or the review before I purchase it, mostly because of how Call of Juarez: The Cartel turned out. The premise does sound cool, though. Too bad it won't live up to the trailer.
It looks like a Zombie game that I might actually enjoy. The Dead Rising games were pieces of shit. So maybe.
I'm definitely gonna be waiting for reviews before I even think about picking this up. There are already too many games coming out between now and the end of the year that I know will be good to waste time and money on something that I'm not sure about.
'It's like Fallout with Zombies!' I'm sort of bored of both of those things. It also kind of seems like Fallout without writing or character - which sounds even worse. It will be cool if I'm wrong, but it's definitely not a day 1 thing for me.
Hell yes, played a little over an hour worth at pax and absolutely loved it, don't be fooled, it's not L4D, it's nothing like L4D other than it's a zombie FPS game with coop.
It has great depth with crafting/abilities, the sandbox environment is great, combat is great, story is interesting etc, it's sad some people are brushing it off simply because they think it's a L4D clone, like that would be a BAD thing, gamers today are far too jaded for me it's why i try to stay off forums, picking this up on PS3 tuesday along with the warhammer game.

Considering Techland's track record of late, I'm not convinced this is gonna be any good. I'ma wait for them reviews, son.
I thought the same thing until i played it, the videos don't do the game justice you have to play it, it's TL's "arkham asylum", this game is defiantly going to give them good buzz unless the reviewer just hates fun and zombies.
Also as for people sick of FPS games i guess BF3 and Skyrim are off the table right?
You say that like I'm a bad person for not giving the game a chance because I'm sick of playing a zombie game....Hell yes, played a little over an hour worth at pax and absolutely loved it, don't be fooled, it's not L4D, it's nothing like L4D other than it's a zombie FPS game with coop.

With those that doesn't think the game looks good - the combat just looked bad, the graphics and designs look average, and the developer has a poor track record, so I will wait for QLs and maybe reviews. Not optimistic about it though.
Want to see reviews but this game has been on my radar for awhile now. I'll probably pick it up day 1 or at the latest before friday if the reviews are favorable.
Nope.
I'm satisfied with L4D2 when I feel like killing zombies.
If it turns out to be really great though, i'll maybe buy it on sale sometime.
Sounds pretty interesting I hope its good. From what I've seen of the gameplay videos. It kinda makes me think of Farcry 2 with zombies.Hell yes, played a little over an hour worth at pax and absolutely loved it, don't be fooled, it's not L4D, it's nothing like L4D other than it's a zombie FPS game with coop.

I'm going to wait for reviews to learn more about it, but I would like to get it if it does turn out good.
Yeah I'm going to see some reviews first, I will probably rent it though. Doesn't look good enough to justify a purchase at this price.
This post makes me very happy. Tuesday can't come quicker.Hell yes, played a little over an hour worth at pax and absolutely loved it, don't be fooled, it's not L4D, it's nothing like L4D other than it's a zombie FPS game with coop.
