Sweet, can't wait to play this!!! 4 player co-op, tons of customizations (guessing weapons), long time survival (no time limits), with a scavenge system for weapons (no random truck containers fill with weapons, reminds me of "Condemned's" system)? Sold!!!

aCasualGamer4818d ago

This is gonna be great, I hope they have day/night time changes as well.

Wizziokid4818d ago

A realistic day/night cycle would add so much to this game, hope they implement it

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4818d ago

Sounds good. But for some reason the title made me think it was a sequel to Dead Nation lol.

Blacktric4818d ago

Looks like it's gonna beat the sh*t out of Left 4 Dead 2, which felt like an expansion pack to make money rather than a whole new game. I mean look at this feature list;

- First-person melee combat
- 4-player coop
- Weapon customization
- An open world set on tropical island
- RPG elements for character development
- Hordes of gruesome zombies

Some of these are already in L4D 2 sure, but things like first person melee combat wasn't that good. It seems it'll be more interactive in this game. Anyway, can't wait for it.

sutton324818d ago

couldnt agree more! really excited for this one. I know its CGI but if that was in game I would shit a brick, at parts in the apartment I genuinely though some elements were real life :|

Wizziokid4818d ago (Edited 4818d ago )

the features from the website:

- First-person melee combat

- 4-player coop

- Weapon customization

- set on an open world tropical island

- RPG elements for character development

- hordes of gruesome zombies

Can't wait to hear more and see more on this, I love survival games and this looks like it's actually going to put some fear and story back into the series.

beavis4play4818d ago

the melee combat sold me - i love the bowie knife in WaW zombies and this looks to carry that idea to a whole new level!

SonyRep4818d ago

looking very good but yet agen the 100th zombie game come on....

Wizziokid4818d ago (Edited 4818d ago )

you could say the same with every genre of game...

stop trollin

don't buy it then

SonyRep4818d ago

trolling LOL... oryt im sure many other people agree theres been too many zombie games its getting out of hand

Pozzle4818d ago (Edited 4818d ago )

So? People like the zombie genre and people buy zombie games. If Dead Island ends up being a great game, then who cares how many other zombie games are made before and after it.

JsonHenry4818d ago

Zombies make everything better.

The Dark Knight4818d ago

You can never get enough zombie games buddy. Unlike the cod's lol..

But this sounds awesome, free roaming? count me in

beavis4play4818d ago

sonyrep - i understand you're just stating an opinion; but seriously - you're TIRED of zombies?

i didn't think that was possible. if a zombie game is done right - bring it on!!!

Cloudberry4818d ago

.
Also have zombies in it.

It drastically 180 degree turns from the previous cinematic-drama action crime game into action horror TPS game.

And I'm looking forward to it.

hassi944818d ago

You even said it looks very good so may I pose the question: Why the hell does it matter?

snipes1014818d ago

Alright sonyrep name to me the outrageous amounts of console zombie games that have been released this generation. I'll give you a head start with the L4D games and RE5 (even though I don't consider that a zombie game I can see how some people would see it that way).

Crysis meets Dead Rising, so far so good :)

Munky4818d ago

Curious to see whether or not the combat is completely focused on melee weapons. And if not what other types of weapons or objects are going to be at our disposal.

Dirty google translate site stealing images from IGN and posting it as their own.

Dead Island 2 devs believe a Dead Island remake would be a “mistake”

We might be in the age of remasters, but it doesn't look like the Dead Island 2 devs believe remaking the original game is the right move for the series.

but remakes require far less effort for these companies and they can still charge $70 for them!

Feel like everyone makes fun of Skyrim re-releasing like 18 times yet applaud these remasters elsewhere. Would much prefer NEW games

CrimsonWing69408d ago

Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!

Dead Island's 2011 reveal is still the best game trailer of all time

Josiah Motley of KnowTechie writes: "I love video game trailers. While I don’t believe they are an integral part of a game’s success (especially these days), there’s something about a well-produced trailer that really just reminds me why I like video games."

Exvalos819d ago

Also the most misleading of all time

SDuck819d ago

How so? Because it focused on a family that you see dying? (innocent question, haven't gotten a chance to play any Dead Island game yet)

aconnellan819d ago

More the tone of it - the tone of the trailer suggested something personal and dramatic, but the game was very much reminiscent of Left 4 Dead in that you were just there to kill zombies and nothing more

Ashby_JC819d ago

You play as a singular character there is no family involved at all in the game. Still a stand out trailer that I remember clearly from years ago.

Fntastic819d ago (Edited 819d ago )

Did you not like the game?

I remember going in expecting a L4D style of game, but the excessive camera swaying honestly made me feel ill, and it's rare for a game to do that to me, still don't understand why the need for anything other than maybe a subtle slight camera movement when doing melee attacks etc. Other than that i didn't really find the game that good. In all honesty i had more enjoyment out of DNF, and i know many people crap on that game.

BioShockGX819d ago

I still remember this misleading controversy

RickRoland819d ago

It’s the music. It’s perfect. I agree with this for sure, it is well choreographed….unfortunately the game didn’t live up to the trailer.

brewin819d ago

Maybe not, but it was still a good game. I liked how they expanded things with Dying Light, but Dead Island was a great first attempt! I really liked all the Easter eggs and homages to other horror franchises sprinkled throughout. Sure it was a little cheesy and over there top, but it was a good happy medium between Far Cry and Fallout with zombies.

EmperorDalek819d ago

I'm gonna heavily disagree with that.

CrimsonWing69819d ago

Have you ever seen any of the MGS 3 or MGS 4 trailers? Those blow this out of the water for me.

TricksterArrow819d ago

They require prior knowledge of the franchise, tho. You show this trailer to anyone, and I mean ANYONE, and they can understand what's going on and relate to the family dynamic almost immediately. No need to know who is Snake, or Fox Hound, or Raiden, or Metal Gear...

Top 10 Xbox 360 Games That Need to be Backward Compatible

Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."

Max Payne 3 needs to be on that list.

autobotdan1033d ago

The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago

Vits1033d ago

Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.

MetalProxy1033d ago

Wait everything isn’t BC? You guys act like it is lol

porkChop1033d ago

Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.

ApocalypseShadow1033d ago (Edited 1033d ago )

Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.

And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.

As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.
