No demo is lame.

No demo means no buy for this type of game, unless it gets amazing reviews and everyone loves it. Even then, will probably wait until Christmas.

 

[youdsy]

any one know if this game supports dx 10 or just dx 11 and 9?

 

[feedtheram]

As others have said it would be nice if the game had a similar feel to the trailer and a decent rpg element to it rather than just pure survival.

Where are people pre ordering from and cheapest place please Limited on cash right now!

Can get it for under £24 from Greenmangaming with the code READY-UPDEA-ISLAN which is the cheapest price in the UK.

It registers on steam also which is good.

If you use my referral link you'll also get £5 credit after you purchase so you can get some indie titles for free with it after or £5 off something else: http://www.greenmangaming.com/?gmgr=dehuzoli

I wish.

I just watched 20 mins of gameplay and cancelled my pre order, to me it is just boring.

Supposed to support DX11 according to Steam forums but not sure if it's 100% true time will tell.

So on border about this Who's getting game on Day and doing Coop that night? might buy a GMG code.

 

[Dark Sun]

I will wait for reviews before buying.

 

[Robert]

I've pre-ordered this as I know a lot of people that have but I'm really struggling to find anything to like about it :/

 

[NeoReloaded]

I've had a poke around, but can't find much info on the co-op?! Do you reckon it will just be tacked on or will we be able to use our character we have leveled etc?

 

[Robert]

I haven't read much but I think it'll be fully featured.

 

[Rambo89]

MP is like borderlands from what ive read, drop in/out play the same campaign.

IGN start their review with "Dead Island is Fallout 3 with zombies." and gave it 8/10

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/119/1192320p1.html

admittedly they are reviewing 360 copies, but should be the same thing. Glad I preordered it to be honest - Fallout 3 zombie coop sounds pretty good to me!

 

[Ewaf]

My copy should be arriving tomorrow, or tuesday latest. Just seen the IGN review and can't wait now.

 

[Mark1989]

Well just watched the Video review and he seemed to like it so glad i got it pre-order and prepaid for it awhile back

 

[neoglow]

Looks damn good to me, just read ign review. Gonna purchase on release day for sure as I love zombie games.

Anyone know what engine Dead Island runs on?
Can we expect lots of mods and tweaks?
