Dead Island

[Stu]

Still sticking by my prediction that this'll end up in the low seventies region on Metacritic.

Looks quite allright. I'm impressed with the atmosphere the most.

[Mr. Spencer]

Doesn't seem awfully original. Looks like a cross between Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead and Far Cry 2.

And we all know how well the car driving worked in Far Cry 2. I'm with Stu on this one, I reckon we're looking at an average game here. Chances are I'll be giving this a miss.

Well, I thought that looked pretty damn awesome. I can't wait to see what 4-player co-op looks like.

[Mr. Spencer]

The experience point system reminds me of CoD, which is why I don't like it.

[Darkmoon]

I'm liking what I'm seeing. The special zombies could use some work...Ram = Charger and Suicider = Boomer without the attraction, which is disappointing. Still, it looks like Fallout 3 with zombies, and I'm really not seeing the problem there. It's less like Left 4 Dead than I initially though, at least, given it seems to be completely non linear (which I like) and I also love the reliance on close combat fighting. It's true, cache's of weaponry just aren't that likely.

I also like the feel. It's deadly serious. L4D was pretty cheesy, and Resident Evil is extra cheddar. This feels much more like my favourite kinda zombie movies, the ones where it's all panic all the time. And I love the idea that the character will grow more confident as the game goes on. That's brilliant.

It's still a definite must buy for me, and possibly even a buy on release. Hell, if I get the PS3 version I'd actually make an effort to acquire friends to play with. Maybe.

[Mr. Spencer]

Don't make me play games with you, Darkmoon. It's a struggle just to talk to you.

[Darkmoon]

You'll play my games, and you'll like it. Y'hear? You'll like it!

[BBboy20]

Yeah, I'm getting it on PC.

[I_Am_Nemesis]

Looks bloody amazing to me. Ive been waiting for a game like this for years, even before the first few video clips of this game came out. I'll admit though that this game seems to borrow a lot from other games. the HUD looks really familiar to me, and the mini map looks like something out of gta.
still this looks pretty amazing and I cant wait for it to come out!!

[veronesis]

Have any of you guys been playing this on Playstation Home? Its pretty cool and free

[rehunk88]

[Darkmoon]

Really wanna get it, but money is tight. Gonna have to wait for the price crash. Ah well, at least it means I won't be buying a lemon.
