Dead Island- Tearjerking Trailer and song.(Download)

Powerful stuff people. Its beautiful, sad, and perfect. This trailer and music mesh together and make probably one of the most remembered three minute trailers Ive seen in my life. This game has a lot too live up too. Do you think it will deliver?

I have seen this trailer before here on ATS; nonetheless, I'm 41 years old, and never play video games, but as the father of two daughters, this trailer hits me in a way that is hard to describe each time I see it. Very, very sad. The trailer uses zombies to touch an emotion that is felt by many in the real world all too often (think about the father in Joplin that lost his two sons, both under three, I believe, in the tornado).

I hate this sense of loss, but it happens everyday. God, please have mercy on those that experience it.

I just like that it actually touches people emotionally. It makes a connection we all can feel. Its not just some mindless action-horror game.

looks good but i dont play video games anymore the graphics make my mind seige up. wish the put the effort into a good tear jerking zombie movie though and not a little kids game

Little kids game? Err...right form the start it shows the rating. 18+. Don't assume video games are only for children. They are for anyone that enjoys them. And for the movies
I guess 28 Days/Weeks Later are your best bets.

video games are for kids. and as far as 28/days/weeks/later movies. there not zombies there still living and they dont eat people. not a zombie movie.

I can't watch the vid here, but I assume it's the little girl and her parents, yeah?

I know for a fact that this trailer is not representative of the game in any way.

The full game will have a large island and a fairly linear storyline though you can do side missions.
It will focus on melee weapons more than guns though you may find the odd ones scattered around.

It should be a completely different pace from your typical Res Evil or Dead Rising games.

Wow dude, you need to catch up with the times, anyone from grandmothers to the grandchildren and all inbetween play video games.

The virus in 28 days/weeks turned people into flesh eating zombies, living dead...

Though I vote troll...

there is no virus in 28 series do you not remember the first scene of the movie where the chimp is being brain washed with scenes of violence on tons of tv screens? do you not remember in the firstt one when the "infected" start to starve to death? its rage concentrate or a type of rabies and they dont eat people they spit blood on them and beat and maim the # out on them. still a good movie and thanx for the troll comment first time i got called a troll on the interwebs. as far a video games go. i dont like games now a days they make my brain spin. i dont have the techno tainted brain most of the youth of today have. i prefer zombies ate my neighobrs any day. but i do admit it will be fun to watch my friends play it.

Ok maybe I need to watch the movie again before I start quoting wrong things that should make sense.
But just because you don't like something does not mean it is stupid for other people even the same age as you and older to like it.

Have you been in any of the conspiracy threads with that attitude?
It won't go down well.

Actually, it is.

PCF: Do you think it reflects the game well? SA: I hope so, yes. PCF: What’s your view on the role of game trailers? Many gamers feel they create an unrealistic expectation of game, would you agree with that? SA: I guess that depends on the trailer and how you judge them. I think some people, mistakenly perhaps, feel that CG trailers are trying to directly represent the actual game, which isn’t usually the intention (though it has to be said sometimes that line does get uncomfortably and deliberately blurred...) They are definitely supposed to convey a flavour of the game world and inform the viewer about the story, or characters or situations and so on, but in a different medium, one more suited to getting across key elements in a dramatic manner and in a very short amount of time. I think if you view them like that, rather than as direct representation of the game itself, they are less problematical. If they mislead the audience on those things then ultimately they backfire. They get commissioned to create interest and to inform, and they have to do that while competing with a million other things for peoples attention so there’s not much point trying to make them less exiting, and at the end of the day the game itself has to stand on its own, anyway. Personally I love them as art in their own right, in much the same way that I like book cover illustration – and I think they have a somewhat similar relationship with what they are representing – the cover isn’t the book, but it should tell you something about what the book’s about and draw you in.

I read that in the game you will not see that scene or little girl.
It just provides a tone that the game may take.

Yep. Bingo. Usually trailer cgi videos arent ingame ones. Who wouldd wanna see a spoiler?(;

i speak my mind where ever i go on here and in real life bud. dont like it dont listen. its my opinion that video games now-a-days are an over load to the senses. my idea of fun is something different than most. and i like to enjoy real life. not saying thats what your about but im saying this in general. on a side note(and i say this to be funny) im quite the zombie buff. and i know my movies. thats all i gots to say bout that

Real life? We are in the Matrix, bud.

reply to post by Se7enex


As an artist this one is tough...the graphics are incredible, along with the amount of work that went into it. I have no pretentions about art being "pretty" or making me feel good. Still, my father instincts creep in and say, this is over the top. And then I think about me as a 16 year old and being able to battle zombies like this? Hmmm...

Its over the top? OK ill trust you since you obviously know how serious and not over the top a zombie attack would be.

As far as I am concerned I'm not referring to a movie. And we are all in the Matrix. Wake up.
