I can understand if they want guns to be rare because of realism, and Im okay with that, but I dont want to spend half of the game looking through hundreds of buildings until I finally find a weapon. Balance is the key i guess.

Balance is the key i guess.[/QUOTE] I'm sure it won't take that long to find a golf club. Or a bat. Or a pipe. Or a chair or a sturdy stick if the shit hits the fan. Or a good sized knife from a ritzy kitchen, or maybe a fire axe...
[QUOTE=redBadger;28113979]It doesn't seem to realistic that there are huge weapon stockpiles on a getaway island.[/QUOTE] Well, they said guns would be hard, and rare to find for the most part. Other than that, the melee weapons pretty much make sense. Of course there are going to be fire axes, pipes, crowbars, antique samurai swards, etc on just about any "getaway island".
I hope they don't do that shit where the usable weapons are painfully obvious. It's really immersion breaking when they have a glowing outline or are just floating on the ground like this [img]http://faqsmedia.ign.com/faqs/image/article/875/875371/algw01.JPG[/img]
I added a desktop background I made in the OP. I know it's simple, it only took me about 30 seconds. Let me know if you need another resolution. This is my 1,100th post! :aaa:
[QUOTE=Teh_Spork;28113731]I think it should be more than one bite until you're dead. I like the idea of headshots only and needing food, but if you went down after one bite, it'd be really annoying.[/QUOTE] Eh, if not one then a few. I don't want to me walking around the island practically invulnerable. I want to be walking through the jungle and hear a moan and freak out because I could die at any moment, not think, "Meh, guess I'd better kill it."

It should also matter where they bite you.
Like someone said in the announcement thread, It's actually a really new setting and narrative, seeing as most zombie games now are post apocalyptic or during late stages of the infection. This game is during the first zombies, so you get to see friends and family killed and turned on you. It's really beautiful, in a sick, demented way.

I dont want special zombies :saddowns:
[QUOTE=Thechuz1337;28115085]I dont want special zombies :saddowns:[/QUOTE] Yeah, I feel the same way. When I heard about that, I got sad.
I just think it ruins the atmosphere, running zombies mixed in are ok for me. But I hate huge fuck off zombies that ruin the whole feeling of zombies and add in the mutant feeling.
[QUOTE=johan_sm;28114902]Doubt that will happen, it's not gta after all[/QUOTE] Hopefully they do it like condemned. Break off a random chair leg/pipe/rebar
I hope it's a bit more like overweight people that will take more to take down. not Crying Bitches!,
[QUOTE=Teh_Spork;28115112]Yeah, I feel the same way. When I heard about that, I got sad.[/QUOTE] Wait, they said there were going to be special zombies? fuck....Please don't make L4D like special infected...with rare guns, it would be way unbalanced.
[QUOTE=Thechuz1337;28115177]I just think it ruins the atmosphere, running zombies mixed in are ok for me. But I hate huge fuck off zombies that ruin the whole feeling of zombies and add in the mutant feeling.[/QUOTE] I feel the exact same way. There's a difference between zombies and mutants.
The models look like those characters in the "3D Porn" comics :geno:
[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;28115488]Wait, they said there were going to be special zombies? fuck....Please don't make L4D like special infected...with rare guns, it would be way unbalanced.[/QUOTE] Read the Destructoid article in the OP. They said that they're similar. This could be a game-changer in whether the game is good or not.
[QUOTE=KingKombat;28115656]The models look like those characters in the "3D Porn" comics :geno:[/QUOTE] what no they don't, at all. maybe you should read less porn comics
I added another article summary to the OP.
Oh, so there are going to be a leveling system with skills?
[QUOTE=OutOfExile2;28115679]what no they don't, at all. maybe you should read less porn comics[/QUOTE] If you know what a 3D Porn character DOESN'T look like. I'd also say that you yourself need to read 3D Porn comics or shut up.
[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;28116071]Oh, so there are going to be a leveling system with skills?[/QUOTE] Yep. Dead Island has RPG elements.
This is all first person still right?
I dont like the sound of something like an electric machete, it's getting a bit dead rising.
[QUOTE=ScoutKing;28116192]This is all first person still right?[/QUOTE] Yes. [editline]17th February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Thechuz1337;28116261]I dont like the sound of something like an electric machete, it's getting a bit dead rising.[/QUOTE] I think it could be fun.
Well, as long as it makes sense, like a wooden bat with nails, I hope I won't need duct tape to put the nails in it.

[QUOTE=ScoutKing;28116192]This is all first person still right?[/QUOTE] If it had third person moments they would have stated. So assume its all First Person.
[QUOTE=Teh_Spork;28116337] I think it could be fun.[/QUOTE] Let's leave electric machete fun for dead rising.
