Dead Island, a new zombie game coming out soon for XBOX 360/PS3 could be another title in a slew of the abused genre of video games: survival horror. Resident Evil started the trend years ago and those games were classic (the first 2 at least) and there have been memorable entries in the category since; ex: Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising, RDD: Undead Nightmare among others. This is not my choice type of game since I feel the field is polluted with only slight things to give the game a unique feel.
However, just watching this preview and the cinematic element alone already makes me want to play. A flashback that has a child falling out of a resort room window, tackling her father and chewing on him while her mother flails a buthcer knife at the zombie horde..looks like a new type of game to explore in an already promising year for gamers. Am I alone in my opinion, look for yourself and sound off...
You can never go wrong with Zombies. Looks visually stunning like Heavy Rain.
ReplyDeleteYES! Alongside LA Noire, looks like developers are willing to explore a more storytelling and decision influenced game vs. run and gun
