Welcome to the Island of Banoi!
The player is drawn into the world of Dead Island on the brink of a mysterious epidemic that suddenly, and without warning, breaks out on the fictional island of Banoi. As a guest of the Royal Palms Resort, the player's stay was supposed to be a dream holiday; a luxurious getaway to the beautiful beaches of a tropical paradise. But faced with the reality of a zombie apocalypse, there is only one thing left to do: Survive.
This is Dead Island... a paradise to die for.
Open world, first person, and an rpg.
Sounds like a mix of Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising.
I'm pretty hyped for this game. The trailer was pretty good (amazing even) but they did the whole CGI no gameplay thing. Plus I have some stupid obsession with murdering zombies
Yeah i'll be keeping an eye on this. And that trailer was one of the best things i'd seen in ages when I first watched it. Gameplay looks good too though.
Trailer was a bit up its self but I started being interested when they talked about gameplay. Sounds like a lot of fun, shame it's the dudes that did the Call of Juarez games.
Meh... not a big fan of Zombie games. Only zombie games I every finished was HotD 3 and 4 on the arcade.
And FPS/RPG? Sounds like something like BORDERLANDS! FTW! I might like it after all.
And I like their slogan: "A paradise to Die for" Sounds EVIL... WHAHAHAHHA!
I really liked the trailer, it was quite poetic, for a game trailer. The game features also sound really interesting. I'm not a big fan of zombie games either, they get pretty boring after a while, but I did enjoy Left 4 Dead. This was mostly because of the co-op rather than the action though, so if Dead Island played quite similar, then yeah, I can see it being a lot of fun.
It certainly sounds like a more open version of Left 4 Dead though.
