Re: Forthcoming "First-person zombie-slasher/action-RPG" from Techland

Heard about this title long back. I thought it was canned as there was no news about it for a very long time now. If it does have 4 player co-op and similar to Borderlands, then I'm all for it. Any ETA for the game?

Nice! The same guys behind the awesome Call of Juarez franchise. :D

Will definitely watch out for more details on this game. 4 player co-op games are in rarity these days.

Vamsi, if you're reading this, looks like we an alternative till Borderlands 2 comes out. ;)
 
Name: Dead Island

Developer: Techland

Platforms: PC/Xbox360/PS3

Release date: 2011

Dead Island sounds familiar to you, then you have a good memory. It was originally announced in 2007, but no publisher was officially attached. Techland worked on other projects in the years since, but Dead Island was slowly shuffling along in the background. Now, Deep Silver is on board, and the game seems likely to see the light of day. It's scheduled for a 2011 release on Xbox 360, PC and PS3, but no specific dates have been revealed yet.

Dead Island's concept is striking. Place players on a tropical island; surround them with zombies of varying shapes, sizes, speeds and abilities; place only found objects at their disposal; degrade their weapons over time; and set the whole adventure against a backdrop of mystery and drama. But will a first-person melee combat action game with RPG elements really work?

I guess unless the thread title says the game name it does not qualify to be game thread

It might be one of the best movie trailers I've ever seen, also might be better than most of the movie trailers.

Wired said:
It’s not a series of clips from the game. It’s a short film that takes place in the world of Dead Island.

“This trailer is meant to be illustrative of a scenario that might befall a typical vacationing family on the island,†a representative for publisher Deep Silver told Wired.com. Though the trailer is said to capture the game’s solemn tone and setting, it is not the same thing.

First and foremost, Techland didn’t make the Dead Island trailer — according to Develop, Scottish studio Axis Animation was in charge of production.

Let us at least hope Techland makes this one better. I see Juarez going nowhere.
 
Re: The "Dead Island" Thread [PC] [PS3] [360]

The trailer, though an animated short film, was wonderful to watch.
As Ethan_Hunt said, I just hope the single player campaign gameplay isn't like L4D. The first thing that came to my mind after watching the trailer was L4D. :p
