Watched some of the gameplay vid. Honestly thank God they edited out some of the walking around bits! Gameplay itself looks awful. Walk a bit, hit a zombie with a bat, walk a bit, hit a zombie with a bat. Melee combat sucks, just doesn't work in FPSs.. Oh Heavens! you get to drive too - and mow down a couple of zombies. This game needs guns. Lots of 'em. It needs lots more zombies too. There's just no sense of being overwhelmed in that footage.

Get back to cod.

When it's mainly melee based, you don't need hundreds to feel overwhelmed, that's the point.

Not having a an uzi clip to unload makes the game more tense.

Gameplay looks too slow paced for my liking and I've never been a big fan of melee weapons in any game, rarely ever use them in Left for Dead 2 for example. Hopefully they can prove me wrong closer to release, the concept i'll admit is pretty interesting.

Any new info on this game?

Dead Island - Best game trailer I have ever seen

That was horrible

Not sure I'd want to play the game after that.

Neil79 · 17 Jun 2011 at 16:17

Just hope the game is decent

TreeFingers · 17 Jun 2011 at 16:36

Was skeptical actually but yeah, that really is a nice trailer.

Why don't you join him?

He's making a valid point, and is bothering to explain why he feels that way, and all you can say is "Get back to cod."?

At the start the guy sounds like Joe Swanson out of family guy

Garfo · 23 Jul 2011 at 12:28

looking real nice

Squark · 23 Jul 2011 at 12:46

Hope it looks better on the pc, looks a little consoley so far from the videos I've seen

Efour · 23 Jul 2011 at 14:59

Pills here!

Looking forward to this bad boy.

Just saw this on steam, looks very good apart from the zombies, when I saw it was yet another zombie game - as yahtzee said do you get a tax break for a zombie game? But it actually looks very interesting. Released around Sep 9 apparently. And what an amazing trailer.

Nice and vibrant use of colour.

No UK pre-order on Steam.

David_VI · 26 Jul 2011 at 05:46

Looks good, like the concept, especially the role playing elements.

Speedy Pete · 1 Aug 2011 at 18:55

Pre-order is up on steam for £29.99 instead of £39.99

I just saw you can get a key from CJS-CDKEYS for £21.50 :cool:

anyone bought from them and have any feedback ?
