Dead Island’s Third Person Animations are Hilarious

"Check out this video that was posted today, which show off some of the third person animations for the newly released zombie game, Dead Island. The animations, we believe are incredibly funny. Tell us what you think of the game in the comments section below. The PC version is reported to be a mess and a massive patch is expected soon. You can read the patch notes here."

They are funny but it's completely normal for an FPS, The animations are only like that so it looks right when your in the First-person view. Look at Mirrors edge in third person, it's the same XD

MidnytRain4617d ago

That's what I figure. Certain first-person elements, like weapons being visible to your character, might look goofy in the third-person because it's all designed for the player to get appropriate visual feedback. An example would be holding a weapon up in front of your face.

sdtarm4617d ago

yeah but you play this game in co op so your friends will see you acting like a robot get it?

HBK6194616d ago (Edited 4616d ago )

You actually make an interesting point sdtarm.

Is there gameplay out there of the co-op and how that looks in comparison? Surely it doesn't look as goofy as this? And if it doesn't, why the hell not?

KING_KAI4616d ago

i think the game processes two sets of animations, one setyour character and a set for all other characters you see on your screen. this goes for everyone.

snipes1014617d ago

This is to be expected. It's not gonna kill me to see some crappy animations while playing in co-op, which I probably wont do much anyhow because I prefer single player anyhow. It's scarier that way :)

BlackKnight4616d ago

Well in coop, the players you see will be using a different animation set (so the animation looks good from the "third person") while your own character will use its own FP animations.

And the other players will do the same on their own console/PC, it will use the FP animations on itself and the TP animations on other players.

1 Question...How big is the world? Meaning How big is the Map compared to Fallout or Just Cause 2?

FACTUAL evidence4616d ago

Yea I thought I was the only dude who thought this yesterday!! You should see sam B's jump funny as helllll.

shayol33t4616d ago (Edited 4616d ago )

Sam B has nothing on this http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Also: This game is awesome! I found me a legendary crowbar and it is magnificent. Flings zombies around the screen like ragdolls.

Undeadwolfy4616d ago

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."

Also the most misleading of all time

SDuck820d 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)

aconnellan820d 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_JC820d 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.

Fntastic820d ago (Edited 820d 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

RickRoland820d 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.

I'm gonna heavily disagree with that.

CrimsonWing69820d ago

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

TricksterArrow820d 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.

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.
