No idea what this game is all about, but I thought this was quite an epic trailer

Lol we just had a massive long email thread about this trailer at work, personally i really like it. For a pretty generic scene, its had a really good treatment.

I saw a gameplay vid a few weeks ago which was posted in 2009 and the game looked kind of pants, but I have seen some recent screenshots and it looks a lot better, should be fun! plus it's apparently got some rpg elements to it which could be interesting! :)

Heh. I was just coming here to post this trailer. :P

Don't really feel anything for the game, tbh, but on it's own merits, this trailer is really rather awesome. :mrgreen:

Looks interesting, if it doesn't turn out to be as shit as L4D I'll get it.

Oh I watched that trailor yesterday. Looks amazing. Anything that involves shooting zombies I love. :4

I keep having dreams of zombies with me shooting them with different guns. The sniper rifle in the roof top was the best one so far. Although the one where I had the shotgun was cool because I was running around blasting them and they were being blown back about a metre or so.......um... I think I'd better shut up now :shock:

Seems like I am the only person who does not like the trailer..

I love zombiegames and I also love splatter movies, but this emotional level with which this trailer is working is something else. Maybe its because I am working with children and teenagers and because I have a lot of knowledge about mediapedagogy and psychology... Dunno...

I think this trailer is crap.

But if it moved you so much, don't you think it is effective? Maybe it laid some sort of enticment in you that will eventually get the better of you.

I did not say that its not effective. It is working with this emotions just for being effective and for reaching people.

I really like how within the reversal it goes from kaos to happy summer holidays with family, which i personally love, because it's very different to the standard build up of most horror trailers which being bright/happy and end in tragedy.

Also, kaos just posted this on facebook haha

i don't get this. adding a depressing tune to it doesn't make it "emotional". and what's up with having one bit of it not being reversed? :|

as a game trailer this is crap. it would probably pass as a i-wanna-be-artsy school project

Post subject:  Re: Dead Island - quite an epic tailer

it needs the non-reversed bits so it makes sense, those shots help put the reversal in perspective. plus the girl running backwards would have looked really jarring.
