Dead Island

[hever]

This has created a buzz in the past couple of days. I, personally, find the trailer to be riveting and emotionally draining. The advertisement committee of this game has clearly brought upon pathos as its vital aspect on enticing the audience. I just want to share this, as I cannot wait for it to come out! What are your thoughts about it? Are you going to buy it? Click the link below to witness the masterpiece that is Dead Island.

The trailer looks really good, but I'm not sure I'm sold on it yet.

The trailer is incredible, and there are also some screenshots up too. I'd like to see some actual gameplay first before calling it a "masterpiece".

Literal Trailer, full of lulz.
Minecraft trailer, also lulz.
Geoff from Rooster Teeth being emotional.

I would like to see actual gameplay as well. And by "masterpiece" I meant the trailer. It literally gave me goosebumps.

IGN Video Breakdown
Watch this video, very very helpful. I also don't give a flying shit if you hate ign, this video still is good to watch.

The trailer was nice and all, but... honestly, the humans scared me far more than the zombies did. Uncanny valley, much? >_>

Am I the only one here who wishes game companies would STOP SHOWING CG FOOTAGE FOR TRAILERS? Honestly. This tells me absolutely nothing other than to expect a game involving a zombie outbreak in the making.

Geoff from Rooster Teeth being emotional.

Damn, you beat me in posting that one!

But CG trailers annoy me for the most part, especially when it's a new IP. When it's a game series like Mass Effect or Elder Scrolls, I don't mind a CG teaser trailer just to build hype.

Simply an amazing trailer. Beyond amazing, actually.

Arguably the best trailer for a video game of all time.

I like the idea of a sandbox zombie game with RPG elements, but I'd as much as everyone has hyped up this trailer I'd rather see some gameplay.

Wow, another (awesome looking title) that I'll certainly have to keep my eye on. Can't wait until later to see more footage.

Add online co-op and I'm in. And seeing how zombie games are practically MADE for co-op I don't see why not.

Yah. Basically the major criticism given to this game/trailer when it out; it doesn't give any real detail of the actual game, other than there's a Zombie outbreak. The point of the trailer is to entice the viewers to it, though, and make them await for more information about it.
