Apparently, the mood of the game is completely different than the trailer

I hadn't realized the "I" in "Dead Island" was a guy hanging from a tree until this trailer. >_>

So this game is coming out on Tuesday, anyone getting it? I put down my preorder today, and I gotta say i'm excited. I don't think any of my friends are getting it though, so if anyone wants to play on xbox once it comes out i'm down.

Fun fact for those that don't know:

This game was announced at E3 2006 and was supposed to be released in 2007.

Original teaser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg1PAz4lUZU&NR=1

Nice to see the graphics have come a long way.

Played this for four hours last night and it's pretty good. Combines alot of good stuff from other games into one game with fairly solid melee combat.

Wait, this came out? Oh shit. I'm still behind on games. I wanted to pick up Deus Ex: Human Revolution and now this?

Damn. Gotta get this.

Hrmm...That's tough to say. I personally don't like L4D too much as it gets extremely repetitive. This is more like a mix between Borderlands and Dead Rising 2. I imagine people could get at least a playthrough or two out of this game, and putting that at like 20 to 30 hours for an indepth playthrough, I think that warrants the buy perhaps. It's hard for me to completely recommend it, as it does have a few quirks, and everything about it, is mostly what I was wanting, though there doesn't seem to be a huge narrative aspect for it, but that could be a good thing, being more about the survival aspect than a cheesy story being interwoven throughout the game.

I think it's a good game, but my opinion differs from others, such as Deus Ex not being "game of the year" for me and just being an okay experience lol

I may buy this tonight. Who all got it on computer? I'm going to need some people to play through.

So I ended up grabbing it, and it's... different than I was expecting. It's essentially a mash-up of Fallout 3, Borderlands, and Bioshock with a zombie aesthetic thrown on. Multiplayer is superfluous and is plagued by the same problems that killed Borderlands MP- namely, that being at different levels makes the game go to crap. Missions won't save for players that join in, and as far as I can tell the number of enemies remains constant regardless of how many people are playing. Don't get me wrong, it definitely worth owning, but it's much closer to the slow-paced action/rpg/fps of Fallout 3 than Left4Dead 2.
