Free-running. That's the only reason I'm interested. Even if it's bad Techland with good free-running, I'll get it. We need more free-running games!

I agree! even though I don't like Mirror's Edge & don't want to see a sequel!

Looks interesting, I hope the Parkour aspect is able to differentiate itself enough from Dead Island. Because I've had enough Dead Island for a lifetime.

Plenty of zee-worded games around these days, but since I haven't personally played too many of them, I don't mind, especially with a concept like this!

...but I'm still oddly puzzled by the uncanny Cole McGrath likeness of the 'main' character.

Remember, this is the game that Jeff found the most interesting in that pre-E3 event whatever thing he went to a week or so ago.

Another impressive looking trailer, that will likely have very little to do with the actual game?

I'm surprised they got Woodkid on the trailer. It's a bit obvious but they cut the trailer to it pretty well.

I am interested in a zombie game where you primarily avoid the bastards. Most zombie games are just about maiming the dead. I'm kind of tired of maiming the dead.

Techland makes the best trailers. Spot on music choices and even though its CG, it makes me much more interested in this game than I would have been otherwise.

Also great Murrow tagline.

Too bad there wasn't any real game footage but that's always the case with these first trailers I guess. This could be cool, but I think I'd like it more without zombies. That whole thing is really, really just done at this point, right?

Zombies are never done, until you shoot them in the head. Because well, they're zombies.

@meatsim:

Not to get all nerd defensive on you but Mummy? I am totally with you for the werewolf part...or, though I hate it...maybe vampires? But I have never read or seen anything where Mummism (technical term) is transmitted somehow...and if it was....would they not be zombie equivalents? Just saying.

So, someone decided that it would be cool to mix parkour with zombies. And Woodkid. I'm not sure about the whole '' let's all be super-athletes with gravity-defying wall-runs and yeaaaaaaaa ''.

On a serious note; i'm still waiting for that gruesome, mature zombie game. Oh, wait, there's Last of Us right around the corner.

I think they were starting to, but they weren't very good at it.

This trailer was pretty good. I hope the game is alright. I don't know why Techland has a fascination with electrified weaponry.

That CG trailer was fucking great, But then so was that first Dead Island CG trailer. Though Jeff seems pretty amped for this, optimistic for sure.

Agreed, whilst the bombsquad have coined the "good Techland/ bad Techland" turn of phrase, they sure as shit are consistent at making a good cg trailer.

When those mutants/zombies fell into the pit, it almost sounded like that cartoon-y whistling sound.
