Is Dead Island The Next Great Zombie Game?

When I arrive at the gas station, I find the doors barricaded, so I climb a ladder to gain access to the roof -- and to avoid becoming lunch. An open window on the roof gets me to the pitch black interior of the service station. When I jump down, a burlier "Thug" class zombie is waiting to take a bite out of me, but luckily there's a pristine shovel on the ground, which I use to cave his ugly face in. At this point, I have less than six minutes to complete my errand.

PREVIEW: Hands-on with Dead Island!
http://www.examiner.com/video-game-industry-in-san-francisco/preview-hands-on-with-dead-island
With a great upside such as crafting, there has to be a downside: longevity. The more you use a weapon, the more worn it becomes, eventually breaking down and requiring a replacement. Crafting extends the life of armaments so it's in your best interest to mix and match your heart out. However, this feature also comes with conditions."You collect crafting skills as you progress through the game, but you basically take all the material that you find on the island, but things are limited to material that makes sense," says Square Enix Production Manager, Andrew Ahn. So while an axe and shotgun sound like love at first sight, it's probably not feasible given the realistic boundaries placed in the game. Sorry guys.

Is Dead Island The Next Great Zombie Game?
http://www.gamepro.com/article/previews/221494/is-dead-island-the-next-great-zombie-game/ A seemingly straightforward quest I accept from an Australian lifeguard with a Mike Tyson-esque face tattoo, for instance, tasks me with retrieving gasoline from a gas station. How hard could that be?

A hangover from hell
While our hands-on with Dead Island's first hour saw some of the same areas seen in our recent eyes-on preview, it gives us a chance to see how the combat works in practice, as well as sample some of the game's opening moments.Waking up in your room, probably with a monster hangover, there are bigger problems to contend with. Tasked with escaping the hotel to safety, while it's not exactly clear what dangers lurk in the outside world, things within obviously aren't right; luggage is stacked up and blocking exits, room doors are sprung open, and there's the key giveaway of the occasional dead body strewn on the floor.

Dead Island: Slice and Dice in Paradise
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/118/1185181p1.html
Eventually you make your way back to your room at the Royal Palms Resort and pass out, sleeping through until the next morning. You lay down in paradise, and wake up in hell. You emerge from your room to find only silence in the hallway, and luggage carts abandoned and overturned. The door of the neighboring room is wide open, its resident face down in the middle of the room with a steak knife wedged between her shoulder blades.Guess she should have tipped the room service guy.

Clean that shotgun and practice your headshots, something tells me this skill is key.

Dead Island Preview (Xbox360)
http://www.strategyinformer.com/xbox360/deadisland/612/preview.html
At the time of writing, the game still has a fair bit of polish that needs to be taken care of - visual glitches, missing animations, etc... but we're not worried at this point. With a release pegged for the beginning of September, there's still time enough to get that all sorted. This will definitely be a hit with gamers who loved the co-op aspects of Left4Dead, and the open world/ quest-based dynamic gives a fresh take on zombie games - we're certainly looking forward to it. Dead Island is due out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on September 6th in North America, and September 9th in PAL territories.

Dead Island roundtable scares up some details
http://www.gamingnexus.com/FullNews/Dead-Island-roundtable-scares-up-some-details/Item23471.aspx For those who don't preorder Dead Island from GameStop, the Bloodbath Arena DLC will eventually be sold. The Ripper weapon, however, will not be. The arenas in Dead Island are similar to Horde Mode in other games, as it's the players versus waves of zombies as they compete for spots on the leaderboard.
it's not just blood showering the sun-loungers #deadisland
a steadily darkening sky, hinting that Dead Island has more storms in store than just the zombie invasion

I saw a diving knife combined with plastic explosives to create a sort of "sticky bomb" good for clearing mobs of creeps

Speaking of explosives - the weapon customization feature seems to have to some potential to it. A basic loot system exists in the sense that you can find weapons, miscellaneous items as well as cash. Cash is used to barter with vendors, and to repair your weapons as they do suffer from wear and tear.Certain miscellaneous items though can be combined with others, and a weapon, to form an upgraded weapon, usually with a special ability. For example, you can stick a battery on a knife to form a shock stick that will paralyze enemies. Or you can make it into a sticky-bomb-knife-thing, with hilarious results. Our personal favorite was the baseball bat with a buzz saw blade stuck to it.

Communication is key, as it's quite easy to lose your team mates and find yourself alone with several people trying to eat your brains.Team-mates can heal each other if they have med-packs, especially if they've been knocked to the ground, but again that's dependant on you being well stocked and finding enough supplies. It's also key as, even though there's no official friendly fire mechanic, explosions can affect everyone. Chuck an explosive at an enemy and if you're friends are too close, they die as well, so be careful.

Like most things, Dead Island is a lot more fun in a team. And in our latest play-test we put the four-player co-op side of the game through its paces. There's a hidden strategy to walking around in a group ,as each playable character has a certain function. Xian Mei, for example, is an 'assassin' class. whereas Sam B is a tank. Zombies are more likely to go straight for Sam than Xian, so it's a matter of using these known behaviours to your advantage. Still, the different classes have slightly less meaning in single-player as there's no group that follows you around.It's just you and so a lot of the strategy of taking on the undead denizens is lost.

In way, Dead Island has arrived late to its own party.First announced back in 2005 (with an original release year of 2008), developer Techland have had to watch franchises like Left4Dead, Resident Evil and Silent Hill succeed (more or less) in their absence. That's not to mention the penchant for unrelated franchises like Call of Duty and Red Dead Redemption hopping on the zombie band-wagon lately as well. Still, they call it 'fashionably late' for a reason, and it's a question as to whether the delay will help or hinder them.

Another interesting question was about the pre-order bonus DLC, Bloodbath Arena. The DLC is like a horde mode with leaderboards. It consists of four different arenas, new weapons, and endless waves of zombies to fight. The idea was to give players a place to take their high level characters and just engage in combat to show off what they can do.There are still some balance tweaks being made to the arena since the team is still trying to decide how much you can bring into the arena from your game and how much you can take out into your main game. For those who don't pre-order from Gamestop, the DLC will be available sometime after launch on Xbox Live and PSN.

Zombies will have several standard hit zones when struck during melee combat, including the head, arms, and legs. There will also be damage modifiers based on weapon type. Impact to limbs with a sharp weapon may result in the severing of that limb, while blunt weapons may break or shatter the limb.

The main story should take around 30 hours to complete, but you are free to explore the island as you want. Even though there is a story coming into the island, there are no time constraints on you, so you are free to explore, scavenge, and take on as many side quests as you want. This is an open world game with different beats and you are free to set your own pace. When you are exploring, taking quests, or crafting weapons the game takes on a slower pace, but when in combat and with your friends the game takes on a faster, action-oriented pace. Kummer said the action never really takes a backseat to the story, rather how and when you choose to engage the story is up to you. If you stay on the main path, the story and action will stay consistently fast-paced. Kummer was also asked how he felt about being compared to Borderlands by a lot of media outlets. Kummer admits that the comparisons to Borderlands and games like it are apt but only in terms of the action. He said the key difference is that Borderlands is not as story driven and doesn't have the emotional impact and slower beats of Dead Island.
