Dead Island Trailer ...

[paecmaker]

the overall message of my entire posts lately its no zombie game has given any gamer the ability to free roam. No that does not include dead raising for the simple fact of you have a time limit you can only go so far before you have to turn around and go somewhere else. That isnt cool and very boring to me. L4D 1 and 2 gave you a fixed path you had to follow but you had a little freedom as the infected to jump around climb and what not but still no free roam. You see the point now? I would like to see a zombie game with free roam. Therefore, you said it should get me interested to seek more information going back again to my original post isnt the questions i asked seeking more information? gameplay at its core has "old age ideas" pick up a weapon, kill.

Moving on to your other part of your post. Talking about MP on bullet storm there is no uniqueness to any game with online capabilities. Its all the same kill, team kill, objective, ctf, assault etc etc. No game in general has uniqueness beyond storyline.

What about red dead redemption (and something) Isnt that game a sandbox game like gta but with zombies and towns to qoncuer and defend?

Good point paec you make an excellent point. If Dead island can be molded into a sandbox game like Rdr that would be awesome, that is what I am looking for in general a sandbox game, I forgot that term till you just said it paec. That is what I want to see happen to D.I. because I think it can be generally agreed on that if you can run around killing zombies and set aside missions till you want and get the ability to explore I think that adds alot of value to the game.

What dead rising should have been without those timeframes.

That's just the thing, though, Joker. Not ONE game. Not a single game that has been released within the last couple years has shown gameplay in the first trailer (often called the teaser.)

This is to get people interested, and get the public looking for information on the game to try and amp up their title. It's just a small tidbit, small enough, mind you, to get the brain working.

Being all "Oh this is going to suck if it's like such and such a game (Which is a completely convoluted train of thought, to be honest.)" about a game in which you've only seen a teaser for seems, at least to me, jumping the gun a tad, isn't it?

meh, saying its not going to suck is equally convoluted. =P

Honestly though, not of the opinion that there is anything to be excited about yet. And that is still different than saying it will suck.

No game in general has uniqueness beyond storyline.

No game? or are we just talking about recent zombie games here, if the later then I can agree with you. STALKER was a free roam horror type game. just not completely centered around zombies.

Exactly. I never said wasn't going to suck. Just that saying a game will suck (if it's compared to a game that Joker (or anyone) dislikes) is kind of backwards as there isn't any information to compare on anything.

We know it's set on an island, and that it's a zombie game. We don't know gameplay, characters, anything of real relevance outside of the trailer.

I got some info for dead island.
I have heard it myself so dont think it will be just like this.

 

It will be like a 3rd person view.
It will be 4 characters.
Like dead rising it will be a free roam but more serious.
They want you to have more feelings about the survivors and stuff.
You can combine and improve weapons.
It will be bosses.
The "normal" zombies will be harder the longer the game is.
You will face human scavangers and bandits as well as zombies.
It will be disgusting.
Running zombies.

Okay first of all:

OMFG YAYA WOW WOOHOO!!!!

Okay, that's out of the way, now...

What I get from this trailer(And mind you that I might just be over analyzing it, but this is what I get from it), is that(And its pure speculation!):

-It takes place on a tropical island
-It is based on a zombie apocalypse(Lets get out the ZAMs, brah!)
-It is free world game play(A zombie version of Oblivion)
-You play as a female(The mother, you never see the mother getting injured)
-It is first or third person
-Your goal is to:
--Survive
--Find and manage supplies
--Find safe places to sleep
--Find weapons to defend yourself
--When you have no weapons, you run
--Find survivors to aid you, and keep them alive
--Escape the island with as many survivors as possible
--Complete side quests for NPCs(Finding peoples children, find out what happened to their spouse(commence zombie killing here), finding supplies etc.)

That is what I can gather from this trailer, it actually says more than what you first see, but I may be all wrong!!! But that's what I think

To put it mildly, I'm extremely excited about this game, and I call dibs on writing a review for this one, people!!! I loved resident evil games, movies, and any other zombie movies as well, and this game just got bumped to my #1 must have.

As you can see I have a hype, and they better deliver, I dont know this brand very well.

I hope they live up to this awesome trailer.

I have seen some pictures on the game and if you arent to spoiler afraid I got some things here.

 

1 you dont play as the mother but as four other characters(as far as I take)
2 You will have main missions and a story(dont know much about it though
3 Rifles will be rare and ammo even more so
4The bosses look really disturbing

I dont know how it will work with other survivors and side missions but there will be shops to buy things.
