I've watched this four or five times in a row now, and I still cannot stop laughing:

It had to be Tobuscus...

Hugging dad WAIT! She's a zombie. LOL.

Wow, I do like his literal trailer to Assassins' Creed: Broho

[veronesis]

Based on the info available, It looks interesting but at the same time there doesn't appear to be anything too special here. Nice trailer though.

After reading the article on ign it seems the trailer misrepresents the game the trailer was sad and somber emotional while the actual game is just flat out action with little atmosphere this is already sounding bad

The article sounds decent. The game play is all action, but it at least sounds like smart action. Which works for me as well anything, I suppose. It's deffintely a question of whether the game can pack the same emotional punch as the trailer though. It sounds like they're trying to go the deadly serious route (good) but some of the elements don't quite fit that (weapon combination system - a knife wired to a battery is still pretty silly).

But so far, I like what I hear. Especially no guns. That's a ballsy move.

As long as the gameplay is good I can forgive the story. Although to have a zombie/survival horror game that packs an emotional punch would be a great leap for the genre.

The trailer is on the xbox live network now, watching it on a widescreen HD television = WOW!!!

I don't think a trailer has ever moved me as much as this one does

I keep reading there will be guns just not many.

According to latest OPM there will be special infected similar to L4D.

A couple of new screenshots just appeared online with one of them showing one of the special infected, some big guy in a straight jacket. Secret medical facility beneath the island abducting holiday goers?

[Darkmoon]

I admit, the Ram is rather...Charger-esque. I'm hoping for some different and unique special infected, but it's pretty obvious what this guy's deal is. On the other hand...



Ignore the Ram. Richard 'Fuck that snake' Aiken is who you need to be afraid of.

I like the look of this game, i have done for a good few years now.

But PR stunts like releasing a cover that would need to be changed do nothing for me.

[Rombie]

It's not really a PR stunt IMO, the logo will remain unchanged within the game and likely overseas. It's just the display requirement in the US that changed it, akin to that which required Valve to change the cover for L4D2, which remains unchanged outside of the US... well at least it did over here.

From latest OPM.

Drowner (Read: Spitter) - Pale, bloated, glows and has transparent skin so can see the internal organs. Spits at you.

Suicider (Read: Boomer) - Cover in pulsing boils, gets close and BOOM.

Ram (Read: Tank) - Wears straighjacket and hockey mask, charges at you.

Butcher (Read: Dunno actually) - His arms have lost the hands and part of the arm flesh and his bone stumps sharp and used to slash at you.
