Re: Dead Island

The theme is up on their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/deadislandga...app_7146470109

Original composition by "Savalas". I suppose they mean Kojak.

Re: Dead Island

That song/theme makes me cry.

If the game is scored by the same guy that will be great.

Re: Dead Island

Slicing onions makes me cry.

If I can sprinkle some diced onions on zombies, I will cry.

Re: Dead Island

I've been crying constantly since I saw the first frame of this trailer...

I've also been furtively masturbating this whole time. I hope it hasn't been awkward for anyone.

Re: Dead Island

As moving as the trailer is, one thing that should be mentioned is that this is just a pre-rendered cutscene and not in-game footage.

Since we're talking about how much we cry.

Re: Dead Island

Any other Hot Tub Time Machine fans a little disappointed that it wasn't the bellhop who got his arm chopped off in the hotel room?

...and it looks like they got the wrong idea as to why the trailer is popular.

The film will will follow a Memento-like storyline, even though the video game does not.
Yeah, it was great because it was backwards!

Re: Dead Island

Just posted in Facebook.
Lots of rumors have been about regarding a Dead Island movie, and we wanted to let you guys know that we haven't signed on with anyone - yet! And rest assured, a high-quality movie is the #1 thing we're concerned about for a film adaptation.
BTW, when I liked their page in Facebook they had like 150 likes, Pinata included. That's around the OP. Right now they are close to 75K likes.

So, how many people do you think will get disappointed with the game? I think it will be something around 40%.

Re: Dead Island

I don't get the love for the theme song, it's a blatant knock-off of any of Michael Giacchino's melancholy themes from LOST.

Re: Dead Island

The way they describe the game in that second link above sounds like a mashup of Dead Rising 2, Left 4 Dead, and Resident Evil Outbreak, but I liked all those games so I'm looking forward to it.

Watch out, apparently throwing a baseball bat into a propane tank will cause it to explode.
