    So... Dead Island?

    Who's getting it?

    I've been watching a lot of the youtube footage recently including game play and developer interviews and I have to say I am quite excited about this game. Drop in/out coop story, crafting, open world and driveable vehicles. No pre-order on steam for the UK though? The page is up but the buy button is nowhere to be seen, hoping for 4-packs of this one. I think that Game have got the pre-order exlcusive in the UK and that might be the reason for the lack of pre-order on steam?

    System requirements are quite low as well.

    Re: So... Dead Island?

    I'm less interested in it now than I was previously (and no, the first trailer didn't make me go WOW) I just assumed it wasn't as 'Dead Rising' as it now appears to be.
    It looks to have it's moments so I'll probably end up getting it anyway but I'm holding back for now, might go in on a 4 pack if they release it cheap enough though

    Might get it - it looks different from the other zombie games out and the graphics look pretty good

    Re: So... Dead Island?

    Pre-ordered! Its on the steam... and i get the unholy union of buzzsaw and baseball bat weapon+the arena dlc included. apparently the arena DLC will cost about $10 extra later, so probably about £6.99 (not looked at the exchange rate). A mate has bought it too.

    Waiting for reviews from real people. So, if any of you could let us know what it's like....
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    Yes and no.

    Yes because, like WW2 shooters as mentioned, it's a setting which has been done to death in a lot of games over the years.

    No because:

    1) I bleedin' love killing zombies. The fun of mowing down hordes of em' never gets old for me.
    2) Of all those games released, the vast majority I never played because they looked crap (Dead rising comes to mind... and Resi Evil 5)
    3) There's still some potential left to squeeze out of the subject, Dead Island is one of those examples. Zombie killing, free roaming, RPG fun? Yup, that's a new one.
    4) With the 2nd season of The Walking Dead still to come this year, there is still some excitement around the zombie IP.

    On topic for Dead Island though: I have been following the production of this game for a while and I do hope it turns out as planned. The co-op sounds like a lot of fun.

    Haven't pre-ordered though, I don't want to be bitten by the hype bug and end up disappointed.
