[QUOTE=Cone;32066053]But for that one day, you can not go on the Internet, or the story will be spoiled. I'm betting there's some grand twist at the end that NO ONE will see coming.[/QUOTE] Exactly, everyone will be talking about it here and I have to avoid reading the thread. It's easy enough but I'll be jelly of them playing it before me.

I think I'm going to play through singleplayer before I do co-op. My friends like to rush all the quests and not pay attention to the story..
I don't know about others but as for whether to buy this game or not all I had to see was: -video footage of gameplay-, and the words "open world". That's it. I honestly don't really care about the story seeing as how it will probably just be me and my friends killing zombies the whole time the game runs for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm a sucker for a well crafted story. But l4d pretty much didn't have one and it was still crazy fun. I'm looking at this game as an open world L4D with better weapons and multiplayer. A good story would just be a bonus.

Open world L4D with better weapons, more gameplay hours (1st play through) and better Co-Op. Sold.

You have to have the right friends who like to pay attention to questing and be fair about loot sharing. Fortunately I have a friend who is always my rpg buddy since we've been playing them together for years. Diablo 2, Titan Quest, Borderlands, etc.
I'm confident this will be a decent game judging by the videos I've seen.
See what really has me interested is the idea of whatever is turning people into zombies. In the CGI trailer, you see the girl as being human when she's dead (skin color and shit is all normal) but when they show her being alive, her skin turns pale and zombie like. It really gave me this weird idea that maybe the virus or whatever is air borne and once the host dies, it leaves the body and infects another person. If that's the way they have it set up, that would be awesome.
Going off that video that got posted the facial animations certainly arn't anything to cheer about. I know its not a big thing but it just helps the immersion if they're able to move their upper face.
This is the only problem with buying steam keys from 3rd parties. They aren't always sent out before release.

I know its not a big thing but it just helps the immersion if they're able to move their upper face.[/QUOTE] I hate to nitpick too but I gotta say I don't really like the animation for grabbing items, the way the player swings their arm across and picks it up, almost like throwing a punch.
Anyone wanna buy it for me? It's my birthday in a few weeks ;-; [sp]Free sooky sooky, 5 dollah if you do. [/sp]
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;32066040]No, it's the 6th for everyone.[/QUOTE] 9:30 PM on the 5th here. Its still the same time for everyone but its just different visible times.

Wonder why reviews are pretty late for this one with it being out in a few days
Most publishers set embargoes that don't allow negative reviews to be published ahead of release but positive ones are. Deus Ex HR had this.
Has there been any reviews at all? I saw some PS3 lets play footage somebody must have something to say about the game
[QUOTE=Over-Run;32067187]Has there been any reviews at all?

Don't worry, they gave it a "positive review", but I don't have exact scores, nor do I think there's a source supplied.

[editline]1st September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE]Dead Island's first review has been positive. The Italian PlayStation Magazine has given the game a rating of 8.5. Since this is the only review of the game as of September 1, 2011, it is still unknown on how other critics will look at the game.[/QUOTE]
I actually find it a bit odd how the early PS3 footage hasn't been taken down yet. Publishers usually do that whenever people start posting unofficial pre-release footage of their games. Although I'm still confused as to if the person posting the footage is actually the press or not, but I'm pretty sure they aren't.
[QUOTE=Cone;32065678]He could have been a Gold Member by now![/QUOTE] This is an alt of mine (main one got compromised) and I'm 6 years and only 100 some posts. And those weren't deleted ones either.

[QUOTE=J4censolo;32067285]Is it already out for PS3 or what?[/QUOTE] Could just be a store clerk or something getting it in the store before the street date. People like that always tend to snag a copy a few days beforehand. [QUOTE=Nohj;32067280]Its free publicity.[/QUOTE] I suppose that does apply for something like this that's had a bit less official coverage than, say, GTA IV (Which was the most hilarious case of unofficial pre-release footage, because videos of it were still getting taken down for "copyright reasons" as much as an entire month after the game was released), but it's still a tad surprising.
Maybe they just aren't dicks.
[QUOTE=killz2much;32065931][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Fqi5m.png[/IMG] :buddy:[/QUOTE] I got it from GreenManGaming, I hope they get the keys tomorrow.
I reckon the game with be getting mainly 7's-8's, which to me is good. Since the game is meant to be really long I would deffo pick it up for 20 euro on Ultimatum
