The premise sounds just like DR3, which I'm happy for. I really liked the look of DR3, but I'll be missing out on it because I won't be getting an Xbone. Hopefully this will be a good substitute.
So we've got an open world zombie game much like Dead Island, with the addition of uber-zombies inspired by Blade II's uber-vampires, Mirror's Edge's parkour, inFamous 2's electric fork, music from Woodkid (how dare they!), and the screen-tearing of Assassin's Creed?
I should've stuck my initial gut-reaction and stopped watching as soon as I heard Techland.
Looks like Dead Island: Parkour Edition. Not that that is a bad thing, I just hope they fixed the... quirks in Dead Island's core gameplay before adding on the freerunning mechanic.
Dead Island got a lot of flak, and there are certainly good reasons people were critical of it, but the core gameplay was a lot of fun and playing with friends was a blast despite its shortcomings. Hopefully this will be a more refined and polished game. Definitely keeping an eye on this.
Sounds like it's going to be good. I liked the Dead Island games, so I'm looking forward to this one. There were elements in the Dead Island games that had a lot of room for improvement. I'm hoping they get those things nailed down in this one. If they do, it should turn out great.
