Dead Island for 360/PS3 comes out Tuesday.

This game looks awesome.

An open world first person zombie game.



I've heard it's anywhere from 30-70 hours long depending on how many of the side missions and such you do.

It seems interesting but everyone I know would get it on xbox instead of ps3 and I'm not that interested in playing with strangers. Plus I'd end up abandoning it for skyrim in november.

You don't have to play it with other people.

It does have co-op, but you can play single player as well. As seen in the video.

It's not like Left 4 Dead.

True. But I think the fun of a game like this is the multiplayer aspect of it.

Most early reviews are calling it Fallout with zombies, in terms of gameplay.

Well, it sure looks pretty.

But they keep talking about focusing on melee combat because it's more realistic, but then they showcase weapons like the electro-machete and the exploding knife. As if guns are somehow less realistic to use that that nonsense.

But aside from some brief clipping in that video, the game looks good.

Sasha Baron Cohen as the developer is a good thing.

Been playing this since I got home. Really fun. Graphics are gorgeous, with the exception of some really bad skipping during the opening cutscene.

Love the openendedness of it. There's loads of side quests and shit.

Seriously debating about buying it.

What's your take on shooting aspects. Not being a fan of FPS's, I'm curious to know how well that works overall.

Played all day yesterday. Did not encounter any guns yet. It's been all melee and throwing.

Seeks a bit silly, since Fallout had zombies (or rather, ghouls).

Still, it sounds interesting.

I've been looking for a new game to play and to play online. Maybe this one is it.
