Dead Island - Games - Facepunch Forum

[QUOTE=Clark21;28111135]no it's ok :)[/QUOTE] I added it, but it wont go into media tags. :saddowns: [editline]17th February 2011[/editline] I guess I can only have 30 media tags.

Whats wrong with killing kids in a videogame? Because people kill loads of kids in Call of Duty and other games populated by children...

Loving the gore in the trailers, let's hope they have that ingame too.

[QUOTE=Oxu365;28111243]Loving the gore in the trailers, let's hope they have that ingame too.[/QUOTE] Multi-Layer system, flesh, muscles, bones... yeah it will be pretty gory.

Hm, I deleted all the concept art pictures, but the song still wont go into media tags. Does anyone know what's going on? [editline]17th February 2011[/editline] Can I only have 6 youtube videos?

Let's discuss the zombie origin. I think, for this game to be any somewhat good (story-wise) it is NECESSARY that the zombies DO NOT come from some corporation. As much as I love Resident Evil, Dead Rising, etc I find that "evil corporations with selfish intent" is a really boring way to explain zombies. I'd like it if it were some as of then unknown contagion/disease unearthed on the island. Similar to the [sp]Carcophogus at the end of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune[/sp]. That way it is not B-Movie like, it is not dumb as fuck like a corporation and it is somewhat believable. Like that jar of slave scabs that had small pox in it.

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;28111352] No, you can have as many as you'd like. What's the URL?[/QUOTE] I figured out what was going on. Thanks though. Well, now the only screenshots in the screenshots section are gameplay so I guess that's ok.

that release trailer was sad as fuck. It's nice to see a zombie game with a bit of humanity tied in, rather than "OMG AWESOME KILL ALL TEH ZOMBIE RAWK ON YEAHHHHH"

I prefer not having a clear origin, like the Romero trilogy (not a trilogy anymore, but all movies after Day of the dead are pretty bad, so for me, they don't count). It is never mentioned if it's a virus, a nuclear contamination, aliens or anything else. But since this game happens on tropical islands, I wonder if they won't go with the yet unexplored Voodoo origin. Because the word zombie originates from this culture and since it's on a tropical setting, it would fit perfectly. It would be original, wouldn't it?

Finally a good zombie game, instead of killing 5+ zombies with just 1 hit, it's gonna be like 5+ hits to kill 1 zombie, except if you hit 'em in the head

That'd be cool if it had a level editor that's similar to Far Cry 1/2.

Similar to Undead Nightmare [editline]17th February 2011[/editline] At the very least I think that they'll include illusions to possible sources. Like in Undead Nightmare how everyone KNEW it was the fault of things like the Jew, Asians, Mexicans, Homosexuals, etc. Herbert Moon

Hey, in case anyone's interested, here's the notes to the background theme. Yeah, I know it's easy to figure out on your own, but I felt like writing it out. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Dead_Island_2.png[/img] Also the two notes played by the cello are C# and F#. These notes are played in the second and fourth measures of the passage, respectively.

I kind of want like a 16 player "fun" mode just for a huge group of people to run around cleaning up the island of zombies

Yay, another fucking zombie game. Zombies are the new WWII.

[QUOTE=Dr.C;28111922]I kind of want like a 16 player "fun" mode just for a huge group of people to run around cleaning up the island of zombies[/QUOTE] If it's only a mode then it'll be fun. I just hope it's not like that for the default game.

[QUOTE=CptVague;28112079]Yay, another fucking zombie game. Zombies are the new WWII.[/QUOTE] And we all love zombies, Just like we love WWII. Take Nazi Zombies for an eggxample.

[QUOTE=Javascript;28111431]that release trailer was sad as fuck. It's nice to see a zombie game with a bit of humanity tied in, rather than "OMG AWESOME KILL ALL TEH ZOMBIE RAWK ON YEAHHHHH"[/QUOTE] Exactly what I think. The reason I prefer L4D 1 over 2 is because 2 is just 'hey let's go around having a blast shooting zombies.' 1 was more serious and was actually scary at parts. The trailer was brilliant because, as others said, it showed just how fucked up a zombie apocalypse would really be. That's what I want from the game.

[QUOTE=Chief343;28112190] Take Nazi Zombies for an eggxample.[/QUOTE] I don't like Nazi Zombies. I hope this game isn't too much like Nazi Zombies or L4D.

Its going to be a serious survival game. Why do people instantly get pissed at zombie games, the gameplay isn't always the same nor is the atmosphere.

This is amazing already. I loved the trailers. They're sad. :(

That trailer gives me constant chills and goosebumps.

[QUOTE=CptVague;28112079]Yay, another fucking zombie game. Zombies are the new WWII.[/QUOTE] Yay another fucking person that moans about a game that he doesn't have to buy.

[QUOTE=Teh_Spork;28112139]Do want this posted in the OP?[/QUOTE] Sure.

[QUOTE=Melon_Mapper;28112374]Yay another fucking person that moans about a game that he doesn't have to buy.[/QUOTE] Boo hoo, someone is expressing an opinion contrary to mine! I'll buy the game if it's innovative, but you're blind if you don't think there has been a glut of zombie games in the past couple of years.

I hope they make it a fucking struggle for survival, I was wanting this since its announcement. Please dont be a micheal bay piece of shit, I hope it's emotional like the trailer.

Plus I didn't bring anything about opinion, if you don't like zombie games why be in a thread about it, go waste your time in a thread about another game.
