RealityPales.com writes: This week saw the re-reveal of a long forgotten title, Dead Island. Along with it came an unprecedented amount of excitement. Heck, even Hideo Kojima gave a shout-out to Techland for their impressive, albeit CG trailer. Now, I know how much we all love the concoction of zombies and video games, but I’m going to have to quell my excitement for the time being. I strongly suggest you all do the same.
We might be in the age of remasters, but it doesn't look like the Dead Island 2 devs believe remaking the original game is the right move for the series.
but remakes require far less effort for these companies and they can still charge $70 for them!
Feel like everyone makes fun of Skyrim re-releasing like 18 times yet applaud these remasters elsewhere. Would much prefer NEW games
Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!

It’s the music. It’s perfect. I agree with this for sure, it is well choreographed….unfortunately the game didn’t live up to the trailer.
Have you ever seen any of the MGS 3 or MGS 4 trailers? Those blow this out of the water for me.

Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."
The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago
Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.
Basically digs into meta-critic and bashes the developer.
The author forgets 'Chrome', an interesting title where the developer basically built an engine from the ground up to compete with the likes of Crysis. Sure, it was a European game (ie. got no publicity) but a modest attempt for sure.
Second, Call of Juarez may not have blown peoples minds, but it was a solid game for an unknown developer. Especially considering it was one of the few true 'wild west' games around.
Lastly, the Dead Island CG was no joke. Sure it wasn't 'gameplay' (although in-game is no slouch), but it wasn't a piss-poor attempt either. The creative and technical process to create such a video is demanding, and the fact that it has resonated so well with the gaming media proves the developer's got talent.
Personally I believe to dismiss this game because of metacritic scores is short-sighted. We won't know of it's quality until we can get some hands-on, and till then I think the media supporting an interesting title like this helps motivate indie developers like TechLand.
Apologies for the double post. Accidental. :)
I surely won't get much excited. There are just too many other games coming to PS3 I'm going to buy.
Thought he made some good points but about the track record, well every dog has his day. Bungie werent exactly known at all until they made Halo, they made the marathon series but it never really "took off."
Keep an open mind, the future is never set in stone. Wait for gameplay videos though, they will reveal the game properly, this is just clever marketing and is probably designed by somebody who wants a career in the movie industry rather than the games industry but W.E! its still cool.
