September 21, 2012 / cgi, cinematic, damn yeah blow that f***er sky high!, dead island, emotional, good job, i have a heart of gold dammit, i like it and i don't care what you say, i'm probably gonna like this one too, pulling the ol' heartstrings, remember the girl whose dad the mechanic turned into a zombie? that part was sad, sadness, sure why not, video game, zombies

I don't care what anybody says, I liked the first Dead Island. I had a lot of fun slicing through those undead f***ers with my electrified machete. Sure the gameplay didn't have anything to do with the cinematic trailer they made for it, but that didn't really get my panties in a bunch (they can't bunch anyways -- it's thong Friday!). This is the emotional trailer for the December 2013 release of Dead Island: Riptide. I might have teared up a little, but only because I'm a delicate flower. But like, with thorns. And a good smell. "So...a rose?" What?! I ain't no namby-pamby rose, brobro. I'm like, an oak tree. "That's not a flower." I'M AN OAK, DAMMIT.

Hit the jump, watch the video, then insist you'd have jumped out there with a kitchen knife and butchered them all even though we know you'd be huddled in the corner with shitty pants.

Thanks to Ivran, who really would have busted out of that boat and hacked everything to pieces. *wink* Suuuuuuuure you would have.

  • that's the most romantic thing I've ever seen, but why did she say olive juice?

  • BillGatesIsYourDaddy

    thirsty?

  • I had unreasonably high expectations for this trailer after the first was so amazing... This wasn't so much. Also I have a lot of resentment as like many I was duped by a production company not affiliated in any way with a video game producing one of the best cg trailers of all time, only to buy the game and realise it was awful. I don't know how I feel about video game companies outsourcing promotional material.

    All in all if the gameplay looks as good as that movie scene did then they've really upgraded the graphics which was much neaded, the first looked cartoonish, and I agree that this probably won't have anything to do with the story but you'll probably be able to come accross the shipwreck at some point in the game likely near the begining, and as much as I love to play new games I'll just do what I did with the first; wait for GOTY:Edition, pay a thrid the price and get all the DLC's free XD. Bring on the Zombocalypse Round Two!!!

    This was beautiful.
    Makes me want to check on my J Date Profile..

    That's pretty good. Too bad the movements have an ever so slight stutter to them.

  • whacko

    Soo.. how were those propane tanks sitting so firmly on the kitchen counter of a boat that was on its side? If the boat was on its side, the counter tops would have been vertical and the takes would have fallen off.

    Sorry to ruin your faux emotional moment with a little physics but Dead Island is really pushing it with these trailers that really have nothing to do with the actual game.

  • CB N

    and this is why engineers die alone and unloved

  • The gas tanks are clearly shown on the hob. Hobs on boats are on gimbals due to the movement of the sea, so this is perfectly feasible.

  • whacko

    Look again, neither gad tank is on the hob. Both are sitting on the counter. One is on its side. Neither is connected to a valve and there is no retaining mechanism visible.

    I gotta agree with ya, one tank sideways on the counter one upright on the stove both should be falling towards the couple based on the angle the ship is grounded, they must have just goofed up when they designed the inside and put it almost flat when it should have benn nearly vertical becuase from the ouside it looks like they should have been standing on one wall and the other wall would be above them with the stove attatched to it.

  • These guys have a knack for putting together some great trailers for this game. And yes, I would have picked up an oar or something gone down swingin'!

  • Lee Tan

    Dont know if its the CGI, the sequel in the making, or the couples affection to go out with a bang, but it puts a tear to my eye. :D

  • Dead Island was so bad, I kept filling out support tickets on Steam until they gave me a refund.

  • BillGatesIsYourDaddy

    I cut out the middle man and just didn't purchase it at all.

  • You were smarter than I was.

  • westmclarenmerc

    That would make a whole lot of people smarter than you. Because as soon most people heard how much it sucked, they left it in the stores.
    Heck, I couldn't even watch more than 1 episode of theRadBrad's walkthrough on this game, thats how bad it was. And theRadBrad is pretty darn good in makin shitty games awesome. Youtube search him.
