The hype engine is throttling full bore as Deep Silver releases these great looking Dead Island screenshots and some new information on the game. What kind of information? How about 4-Player co-op with drop in, drop out gameplay, thousands of weapons, and RPG-elements including and xp leveling system and skill trees.
From the Deep Silver press release.
Gameplay Highlights:
- In keeping with an atmosphere of desperation and survival by any means, Dead Island focuses on serious, first-person action gameplay with a close-quarter, immersive melee focus.
- Dead Island’s seamless 4 player co-op multiplayer seeks to provide the most immersive multiplayer experience to date. Players can drop in and out of each other’s games at any time with no loss of progress as well as the ability to continue on alone or with others.
- With thousands of weapons in-game to collect, from simple wooden bats to fire-axes to heavy rifles, Dead Island is a collector’s dream. This in combination with Dead Island’s weapon customization system will enable the player to craft the ultimate weapon to ensure their survival.
- The ability to enhance and develop your character using RPG-like elements including an XP/leveling system and un-lockable skill trees put the power in your hands to create and play a unique protagonist.
- Dead Island’s damage system gives an unprecedented visual detail of the effects of each attack on enemies pushing the boundaries of visualized gore.
- With an open-world setting, Banoi is filled to the brim with things to do and objectives to tackle, allowing a fresh way to advance both the characters and story at the same time and providing for endless replay value.
Excuse me...I almost knocked over this post with my boner.
The screenshots show some really nice environments, and what looks like pretty brutal Condemned-style first person melee action.
Sadly, they do not come with music.

I'd never thought I'd be this impressed with a combat-centric zombie game.

Why has it taken them so long to make a game like this? I mean, open world zombie game with RPG elements, it's a no brainier (:P).

I guess this is Dead Rising 2 done right.

Seems like a combination of L4D and Dead Rising and, no, that is not a bad thing.

... Hmm... Indeed Joseph, this is problematic...
This boner might be a problem indeed... And the drool too...
Goodness, if this game was a woman.

Its kinda sad how many people are caught up with the trailer and the dead little girl, boo freckity hoo; what the hell do you thinks going to happen in a zombie infested island? The little girl doesn't always get the Zombrex.

This is just too good to be true.

Hyper hype blaster full power! But I'm loving it.

This is like Dead Rising and L4D combine.

I think this game will sell well if the final product is polished enough.

I agree it sounds very much like Left 4 Dead meets Dead Rising. Good games to crib from.

Why do i get the feeling i am going to try and survive by jumping into the pools and watch as they slowly swim out to get me

"Pushing the boundaries of visualized gore"
That's pretty cool.

I had a thought this sort of game would come out 'eventually,' but I certainly didn't expect this to be it. A co-op zombie RPG with skill trees, tons of weapons, a leveling system and customizable weapons? The only way they could top this off is if they let you customize your appearance, too.

Gas-powered nailguns with makeshift stocks and sights, pretty please.

If this game has character looks customization too, I'll seriously die of awesome.
Don't care what the haters say. I'm so excited.

Its bizarre to see an idea that I've been imagining ever since the release of Elder Scrolls IV (an FPS zombie rpg with skill trees and quests) to finally be brought to life, however, I have to admit that its pleasantly bizarre and after seeing the images and reading further into the game, I am happy with the games direction.

This game needs a release! Am worried Deep Silver lack the lettuce to realise Techland's dream with this one.
