Dead Island combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and customization of a vast array of weapons. All of these gameplay features presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty and engrossing campaign that can be played with up to 4 players in co-op mode.

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.

Features:

- first-person melee combat
- 4 player co-op
- weapon customization
- set on an open world tropical island
- RPG elements for character development
- hordes of gruesome zombies

for Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC - Release Date: 2011

NAME : XIAN MEI
CATEGORY : HERO

Xian Mei is an employee at the Royal Palm Resort, born and raised in China, she chose an occupation that allowed her to leave her country of birth in order to experience different people and cultures - Banoii is her first placement outside of her homeland.

She is a fast learner, intelligent, and also - as a passionate sportswoman - quick on her feet. Having just arrived at the island, Xian Mei was responsible for a myriad of menial tasks at the hotel, before starting work as a receptionist. This opportunity to meet and greet all the different nationalities that visited the hotel was ideal for Xian Mei, as it provided a perfect source of inspiration for her dreams of travelling the globe.

That is of course, before suddenly the world around her begins to crumble...

Once strong, self-confident and proud, Sam B has had a troubled past and a history of drug and alcohol abuse, as his private life became caught in a haze of fake friends and bad advisors.

Trying to pick up the pieces and earn some extra cash, he suddenly finds himself surrounded by a whole lot of different problems...

So the question is, are you excited for this game or what?! I know I am.
 
I've been keeping me eye on this game ever since that fantastic teaser trailer came out, but I will be very surprised if it actually comes out this year, considering we know so little about it.
 
Rumor has it that it should release something in August of this year.
 
Honestly cinematic trailers are misleading and most people don't see that, me on the other hand, I see right through them. I'm not buying this game until I see gameplay, and even then I probably won't buy it. Zombie games don't have a long shelf life.
 
@death- Although I agree with you on the gameplay part, I think that this game will have a long shelf life because of the unique things that deep silver is adding to the game. They stated in one of their videos that there is literally over 1,000 customizable options with the game and it's realistic as heck. It's not like you are a strong person from day one, as you level up you become more stronger in the game and you "become a killing machine" as said in an interview. I honestly think that this game is going to bring some new elements to the table that may change the overall zombie gaming experience for all games alike.
 
A new character has been revealed. We now know who Sam B is and how he will look like in this up coming game! 😀

They're publishing it; Techland (makers of Call of Juarez) are the developers 😉

Whoops. 😳
 
2007 footage 2011 screenshots? Taken some time to make then. Could be worth a go on this one.

Edit: Due for release on 30 September 2011 on a UK online store 😛
 
Gamestop here ships out pre orders August 2011. Well thats what I heard so far.
 
Most definitely looking forward to this game 🙂 Wanted to get it after I watched the first trailer.
 
Meh, I'm not really interested in this game anymore after watching/reading about its gameplay. I do like that they're going for less of a hack 'n slash approach to the zombie genre, but it still doesn't look at all unique enough to hold my attention.

Also, the atmosphere created from the first trailer is nowhere to be found, it seems. That's what really got me interested, but I guess that's why you should never trust a teaser.
 
Yep you can never trust CGI trailers.

After seeing the gameplay I think it's got a good idea to it but it seems glitchy and just doesn't play smooth.
