Dead Island Resurfaces In New Trailer

by Mike Bendel on February 16, 2011 @ 2:15 pm


Initially announced in 2007, Techland’s Dead Island has returned, with an all-new trailer to boot. IGN has the exclusive on a preview, calling it a “first-person zombie-slasher/action-RPG” set on a luxurious island overrun by bloodthirsty zombies. As foreboding as the premise sounds, it looks glorious.

The game places a heavy emphasis on survival and melee combat. More often than not, players will use blunt instruments such as a broken pipe or axe to fend off zombies. And, as far as we can glean from the just-released trailer and screenshots, it seems to carry a more dark and serious tone compared to other contenders in this genre. Hit the break for a glimpse.


Dead Island is due out on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC later this year.

Now THAT is a beautiful game trailer. Looks like something I'd enjoy. Although I wonder if it'll be designed around multiplayer like Left 4 Dead or more so single-player like Resident Evil or Silent Hill.

and now seeing it reverses clearly shows that the video has an order, but it's cut up and some parts are reversed, pretty unique way to show a trailer

*now waits for someone to upload the video cut together correctly*

also, is this a console game, or pc only, or on all platforms?

edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktT9DXs88HA <-- linear cut

also, i wonder if that's fully pre-rendered, or in game scripted scene, the graphic's are extremely top notch to call it a pre-render, but some of the elements(glass broken/fire on the guy outside) look like in-game engine

Believe it's pre-rendered, graphics won't look as good as this trailer but they should come close in-game
