1. Holy shit that was depressing.
It looks like it will be a great zombie apocalypse game, though.

2. Well, THAT was cheerful.
No guns at all?

Wait- didn't Left 4 Dead 2 do this in a mutator? I think I remember a mode like this one...

3. I believe there will be some guns
But not many and nothing like a BFG or anything. I guess it is going for a "realistic" zombie apocalypse... heh, which sounds kind of silly. Anyway, yeah it appears to be mostly a melee game.

I think it's an interesting approach and could end up either being really awesome or really sucky, I'm kind of hoping for the really awesome myself :D I think it would be wicked to have the game start off with everything normal and then have the infection slowly spread, getting worse and worse as the game goes on. I'm also picturing this as a game that is played in fairly short time periods, maybe a half hour or so per game depending on how big a group you have and how good you get at it.

I willing to bet though, if they are going to have you killing off zombie kids, this game will quickly get headlines, starting off a whole new round of calls for censorship. I'm actually surprised the trailer has not gotten some of the groups up in arms already.

4. Here is the trailer in reverse... which is really kind of forward
Kind of interesting.

Also, here is some guy that is apparently in the game industry... not really sure who he is or what he does but he has a really bad reaction to the trailer, it's kind of funny and NSFW (bad language)

7. New Dead Island trailer

Well... These guys can certainly make good trailers. If the game lives up to this level, it is going to be one awesome game.
