Fuck, you just killed (no pun?) all my excitement for the game.

I think that trailer would be better served leading to a movie than a game. Sounds too much like Dead Rising 3. Still, it was very moving seeing the parents interaction with the little girl. Having a daughter, that was difficult to watch and imagine.

Eh, they're still soul less video game characters. I applaud them for trying.

They're zombies. That's kinda the point.

Nemo had a soul...

It's one of the best trailers I've seen. Hopefully Techland will hit one out of the park with this one. It's been in development for quite a while.

I meant the characters you're supposed to "care for"...

I thought this was going to be a lame, jokey thing when I clicked on the thread, but that is brilliant. I don't even care about the game. The trailer is a standalone piece of genius.

+1

Amazing trailer. Even if the game turns out to be crap, that video was something I'll remember for a long time.

Some Screenshots

Quote from IGN: "The publisher describes Dead Island as dark, twisted and gritty, and the tiny sliver I've seen seems to support those claims. This is not the campy world of Dead Rising."

God i hope this is the zombie game I've been hoping for. Resident Evil 1-3 were amazing but (and i know I'm in the minority here) I've hated every game since them, especially 4 and beyond. Dead Rising was interesting but the timing aspect killed it for me. Left for Dead was incredibly lame so I never got into it. I just hope this has great gameplay to go along with a great story. The rpg thing makes me kinda skeptical though.

Someone made a chronological cut:

It works a lot better in the original format. This re-edit kills a lot of the emotional impact. The song choice is pretty funny for a zombie game, considering the source most of us know that song from.

The original trailer is SO good, but I feel it's done the game a disservice. I doubt the game will be able to come close to either the emotional or artistic content of that clip. We'll see, I guess.

That music is amazing! They need to put that track up for sale asap

?

Care to share with the class?

Six Feet Under

Yeah, it's the song used in the final minutes of Six Feet Under that many believe is one of the greatest and most touching series finals ever. Don't want to ruin it, but seeing zombie hordes makes for an amusing contrast.

Wow. That trailer was amazing.

Pretty nifty trailer, I didn't care for the character models though. The little girl just looks weird to me.

Really?? I thought it was some of the best stuff done to date.

Loved the trailer. Watched it twice and it was even better than the first time around. The chronological trailer loses it's punch as some as said though.

So, any idea what music that is on the original trailer?

People above are saying it's from the last episode of Six Feet Under... but does anyone know the artist/track name?
