I'm disappointed that this game is going the Borderlands/Dead Rising 2 route.
We could have had a really unique game on our hands if it weren't for this.
I just hope they release some mod tools so we can fix their mistakes and turn the game into something more worthwhile.
why do I think this is going to be some kind of left 4 dead + dead rising? I mean, the game looks good, but I'm kinda sick of zombies these days, I hope the gameplay is fun.

I remember reading the first preview of Borderlands.
Why did they dumb it down so much?

Well, Borderlands had an entirely different story, you could actually customize stuff instead of having to find it, and quests weren't so linear.
All of a sudden it became go find treasure, no customizable weapons, and there's only one direction for the story.

We can't say anything about Dead Island just yet, but it sure as hell went through some major changes.

What we could have had: A never really before done open world zombie survival game, with strong survival elements and a real tense atmosphere.
What we're looking like we're going to get: Dead Rising 2, with experience points and leveling up and so random weapon combinations that make awesome happen every time you press a button, with your standard MMO character roles in a 4 player coop game ala Boredomlands with Killing Floor type mutants.
I'm not saying it'll be bad, just that they really missed the opportunity to produce something truly unique and instead opted to make a game with elements that we've largely seen done before and are already sick of. The trailer had a fairly serious attitude to it, I was hoping that would translate into the game too, you just don't go from a serious trailer like that to having the main characters of the game pantsing zombies and bonking them over the head with dildos.
What worries me the most, is that because it's a multiplatform game, that they won't release any mod tools for the PC version so that we can use the world they've created to rework the game into something more unique.
I was more excited before I saw that Gamespot preview with the special weapons.
No shitty check point saves please.
Yeah, I'm really hoping this doesn't go the way of Dead Rising or Left 4 Dead, but it seems like it is, unfortunately.
I'm hoping not. But you have a point with this.
[QUOTE=Uberman77883;28387340]Slow zombies are scarier.
Sprinters: "HURR DURR I RUN AT YOU, OH WAIT I DIE IN LIKE 2 SHOTS TO THE CHEST LOL"
Slow: "If you shoot me, and you don't destroy my brain, I'll still be coming at you until either of us dies"
Sprinting reduces the fear actually. There is no real fear with sprinting zombies just excitement. When you have slow zombies you have real fear.[/QUOTE]
how about sprinters that don't die from shots in the chests, shit's scary.
I'm hoping the special weapons wont be too powerful or will be real difficult to make. Otherwise it might get a bit ridiculous.
Still likely to get it, simply because me and 3 other mates love zombie co-op games to death.
[QUOTE=Sirdrone536;28395966]Let's Think of long term Fear from a slow zombie and a fast one (both don't die from simple shots in the head)
Your running from a slow zombie in the forest, however the slow fuck gives you plenty of time to think, as you run/walk more you see more of these slow bastard's...you get the image you might get corned in a tight place or surrounded and you lose it, Slow things that will always pursue you is more long term scarier then a fast one, it's the "Oh fuck it's still following me" compared to a fast zombie where you think "Fuck i'm dead, Least it will be quick"
What you rather have, Short Paranoid or the ever constant threat that thing will catch up to you[/QUOTE]
Why do you capitalize random words in your sentences?
No zombie children :saddowns:
Hope there's a cheat sheet that lets you spawn weapons.
Infinite throwing harpoons, Anyone? :buddy:

Sprinters get up right close to you, but you have to get up right close to the shamblers. When the time comes to cook some zombie grits, what do you want to fight, something that takes the fight to you, or something that makes you take the fight to it and maybe let you fall into a trap or ambush.

Needs more Zombies. I think there wont be many zombies on the screen at once.
I hope the RPG elements will be better as I have heard so far.
Might be playing this on the hardest difficulty.
I dont want to be a zombie killing machine damnit.
I have the feeling that you'll get like in Company of Heroes "Doktrins" where you will have different skills under a category, I've read for Sam B. it is Rage Survival and Combat.
I just hope for modding.

So, it's not like dead rising 2 so get that out of your systems.
When will this game come out.
Tell us, techland, tell us!
Ignore, late.

It seems like this specific character will play a lot like Dead Rising 2, so yes, there are still quite a few elements a lot like Dead Rising 2. They keep saying that it'll be a survival game, but I've yet to see anything that actually shows that off. All I keep seeing is "SMASH ZOMBIES USE ELECTRIC MACHETE BE KILLING MACHINE" game play wise.

they have to sell the game to people who don't want survival horror like we all do, they're going to have to show some of the more actiony elements to get most people interested. We're all rapt with attention because we're on that edge of the gaming spectrum. They need publicity.

Now stop being idiots, It's nothing like L4D or Dead Rising.
