This trailer is disconcertingly forwards.

If they fuck off with the guns and the humans and the tight spaces and the bloated zombies, they could really have something here.

Call of Juarez The Cartel put me off a little bit before Dead Island even came out. Techland went from making awesome original games to "Hey just wrap it up and put it out with all the bugs that are still in, fuck it"

I'm glad they're making a new Juarez set back in the old west, just a shame its an XBLA title

Another good teaser, even if it does have about as much to do with the game as the first one did.

It wont work again Teckland. Also they look kinda clean to be stranded on an island, is there a secret shower somewhere? also that is a huge clearance for a boat.

You'd think they'd put a massive amount of effort/money in to this considering what their last one did for their game, but apparently not. I mean, it was okay, but I'd half expect a 10 minute short or something at this point.

Wait, they killed themselves because of what, maybe a dozen zombies and a few extra?!

Clearly these two haven't ever played video games before.

I love the dead island trailers but know the product itself isn't like the trailers. Maybe I'm just waiting for them to make the damn movie instead . Of course a dead island movie wouldn't give the Giantbomb crew a chance to ditch trucks in odd and creatively challenging places like the stairways to the beach, but at least there would be some emotional payoff for what the trailers are hinting at.

Wasn't as good as that first dead island trailer, freaking hell that thing was amazing. This was pretty good too, their movie guys deserve a raise.

It's a game dude, why do you have to be dirty in a zombie apocalypse, maybe they only shot from a distance, maybe there was a huge storm and they shipwrecked.

Fuck yeah more Dead Island, as for the people hating it because of the mechanics...Grow a pair.

@Dagbiker: You're an idiot, they obviously got thrown inland by a "riptide" and had not been on the island long.

Jeez people make the dumbest assumptions....

Did anyone else see the Deep Silver logo thing at the beginning and think "crystal golem. Tough, but you can farm em for blue chunks"?

Anyone? I've been playing too much Dark Souls.

I quite enjoyed the first Dead Island game. Sure, it had it's faults and the idea was better than the execution, but it was fun to play. It's so unoriginal for them to use the same marketing ploy as for the first game though, but at least it wasn't in reverse.

I would get another Dead Island if the story and characters were more like the trailers they put out. They're much more compelling then the actual game. 
 
While the original game was incredibly interesting it was not able to carry that through the whole game for me. The quests and what not lack substance and the only fun was the idea of a zombie apocalypse open world game in a beach resort. That fun unfortunately fades.  
 
I don't have enough faith they can improve on it but I'm more then happy to be wrong about that. Although, it's only been a year and we're hearing about another one already. That doesn't give me much confidence either.

I essentially played the first game entirely co-op with four players and it was pretty fun especially since it was very easy to find yourself round a corner, see like 10 zombies, and book the hell out of there while your team wondered where you were going. You really needed a good team to survive in the city.

The first time those dudes re-cut that first trailer into something awesome it was pretty unique and special. This just looks deliberate and lame.

I'm in. Dead Island was a fantastic surprise that I still enjoy firing up on my PC. I just...ya know...hope they release something that is a product of learning lessons on how to fix your bugs pre-release rather than more of the buggy shit we got before.

Basically, I'd like to NOT have to turn on FilterKeys to play on KB/M controls, and a consistent frame rate would be nice as well.

So.... this isn't a full blown sequel? More of a 1.5? I'm guessing you crash on the island on a boat? I mean I didn't play the first game only saw the QL and a few LP's.

It would be cool if the games audio files wouldn't be constantly corrupted requiring a temporary fix before playing...every single time. Yea, that got annoying. Especially when its the files that contain the sounds from the zombies so if you tried to play without it, you couldn't hear them coming up from behind you.

Though, like yourself, I really did enjoy Dead Island. I probably wouldn't use fantastic to describe it but I'm a sucker for island settings, open world, zombie, and rpg genres so it was kind of a match made in heaven for me. I just wish it wasn't so busted. And maybe less "standing over sleep zombies, hitting them in the head with a melee weapon before they can stand up" gameplay this time around. That got a little old.

Well the first level of the first game was pretty alright. It was all downhill after that though.
