A couple flying to the vacation of their dreams is torn apart by a violent plane crash. Take on a harrowing quest to find your lost wife. Enter into the dark world of a devastated tropical paradise now plunged into chaos. It's a place where the word "dead" has an entirely new meaning. Face the nightmare and fight for survival. Explore the secrets hidden in the darkest regions of the island and fight your way through. Survival is your main goal!

Dead Island is a non-linear FPP (First Person Perspective) survival horror title. The ultra-realistic combat system will ensure that every confrontation is a thrilling experience. Use anything you find in your surroundings as a weapon. Make decisions that influence the entire world around you. Take advantage of opponent behavior and game physics. Dead Island is a mix of intense action and chilling horror environments in an engaging, strikingly realistic story.

Dead Rising is my favourite 360 game and I love the genre so this is excellent news and one game that's definately been added to the radar.

No word of a PS3 version.

Now Capcom just give me Dead Rising 2!

is this by the same ppl that did Dead rising ?

Cant wait to kill a zombie with a coconut
 
Using all the stuff in your surroundings as a weapon.. heard that for Condemned, but it was always the same few weapons. Hopefully this is better.
 
Can't wait for it tbh. Dead Rising imo is one of the best 360 titles out there, and because its exclusive to the 360 the engine looks utter quality even today. I hope it's made by the same people because I've read little about it.

Just about to begin playing DR too as I've ignored its harder achievements for too long now.
 
I think it has to be reminded that this has nothing to do with Dead Rising; it's not a sequel and it's not even by the same developer. They are totally unrelated to each other. Dead Island is an FPS, Dead Rising is not. Dead Island is on well, an island, and Dead Rising is a third person perspective game in a shopping mall. The only similairities are 'Dead' in the titles and tons of zombies.

Ah crap. Was hoping we'd have access to some of the best quality FMV I have ever seen in my life, and some boobehs :D
 
It looks like the original Far cry with zombies, and sounds like it has a gameplay in the style of Fallout, with degradable weapons, and you need to take breaks between meele attacks as your stamina drops.

Awesome :cool:
