You can also upgrade your character as you earn experience points throughout the game.At the start you choose one of four characters representing a different character class - one a specialist with blunt melee attacks, one adept with firearms, and so on - and you upgrade them accordingly via a surprisingly deep skill tree. Certainly with the extensive character upgrade system, combined with the open-world quests and the non-stop looting of corpses and cabinets, Dead Island feels as though it has more in common with Fallout 3 than it does with Left 4 Dead.

Is Dead Island The Next Great Zombie Game?

Unfortunately, the fueling tanks I need are located at the far end of the island. And, to make matters more problematic, the gas station's power is out, and the place is teeming with rotting vacationers who are very hungry.

Dead Island is set on the fictional island of Banoi at a sun-bleached resort. While we don't know the overarching story yet, a severe outbreak of zombies is underway. As the mysteriously immune survivor, it's inevitably up to you to keep the zombie buffet alive and escape the island.

Deep Silver Reveal Dead Island Social Networking App
http://electronictheatre.co.uk/index.php/articles/8879-deep-silver-reveal-dead-island-social-networking-app
Social CRM agency Neoco have been brought in to develop three apps for the launch and beyond which aim to identify Dead Island advocates and build a two-way relationship for future releases. Dead Island fans will have the chance to jump straight into the game's narrative as a fully-fledged undead by uploading photos of themselves wearing holiday beachwear and zombie mask. The ‘Become a Zombie' app then enters them into an undead hall of fame. The fan with the most votes will win a valuable Dead Island themed prize.

There's certainly a focus on up close and personal melee attacks in the game, at least early on – over the course of the game's first hour we certainly didn't find any firearms, instead we relied on broomsticks instead of boomsticks to beat down the evil dead.Elsewhere there were wrenches, pipes and knives, all of which can be either wielded or thrown – it's particularly satisfying to fling a kitchen cleaver, blade over handle into a zombie's throat and see its tip split through the flesh out the back of its neck. Indeed it seems that a lot of development work has gone into the deformation and dismemberment of the zombie character models in the game – heads pop like grapes, arms are removed like chicken wings, and one particularly forceful blow we delivered with a wrench sent a zombie twisting around through the air while its legs stayed planted on the ground – separated from its body.

Dead Island: Slice and Dice in Paradise
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/118/1185181p1.html But hey - you're at a five-star resort on a Pacific island, you need to enjoy yourself, right? Fancy a leisurely paddle from one end of the beach to the other? Know that it involves picking up an oar and using it to cave in the skulls of the boardshort-wearing ghouls that stagger around the shoreline. Or why not just lay by one of the many resort pools? And by that of course we mean lay waste to the numerous infected swimmers who are less interested in improving their backstroke and more keen on removing your backbone.

Dead Island: Slice and Dice in Paradise
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/118/1185181p1.html
The most immediately striking thing about Dead Island is its tropical setting. Developer Techland may have recently shot itself in the foot by taking its established wild western Call of Juarez series and setting it in a present day urban backdrop with The Cartel, but its decision to set a zombie game on a beautiful resort island in the Pacific Ocean was undeniably a smart one. Survival horror typically relies on shadowy corridors to ramp up feelings of dread and claustrophobia, but Dead Island sets the action in lush, open, sun-kissed vistas – palette-swapping sparkling blues and greens in place of dull blacks and greys. The idyllic beauty that surrounds you serves to make the violent encounters with each bloody-minded zombie all the more jarring and unsettling.

It's from here that the Dead Island begins in earnest. After being rescued by a group of survivors, you must then commence a series of non-linear quests that have you battling your way through zombie hordes in order to perform tasks such as the retrieval of insulin for a sickly diabetic, or the engine parts for a mechanic desperate to get his car started in order to high tail it to the other side of the island. Aside from helping your fellow survivors, you're also propelled through the game by your efforts to find out exactly who or what is behind the zombie outbreak, and to get the hell out of there lest one of the undead hotel guests sunning themselves beside the pool jams a curly straw in your jugular and sips on you like you're a man-sized Bloody Mary.

It even borrows from games like Fallout, considering that -- in-between slaughtering zombie hordes with blunt instruments and knives -- you're constantly scouring your surroundings for supplies necessary for your survival, including everything from lighters to cold hard cash. You can spend hours just rummaging through abandoned suitcases and hotel closets alone.

Eventually you make your way back to your room at the Royal Palms Resort and pass out, sleeping through until the next morning. You lay down in paradise, and wake up in hell. You emerge from your room to find only silence in the hallway, and luggage carts abandoned and overturned. The door of the neighboring room is wide open, its resident face down in the middle of the room with a steak knife wedged between her shoulder blades.Guess she should have tipped the room service guy.

Dead Island Preview (Xbox360)
http://www.strategyinformer.com/xbox360/deadisland/612/preview.html It's good that they've been quick to establish a unique identity for the game. Whilst you can draw similarities from any number of other titles, Dead Island's first-person survival with zombies provides a different to experience to any other zombie game you'll play. In fact, with their focus on a realistic scenario, combat focuses mainly on melee, as being in a holiday resort you're unlikely to find a hoard of AK's and Shotguns lying around. Instead, planks, wrenches and knives will be your primary weapons.

In way, Dead Island has arrived late to its own party. First announced back in 2005 (with an original release year of 2008), developer Techland have had to watch franchises like Left4Dead, Resident Evil and Silent Hill succeed (more or less) in their absence. That's not to mention the penchant for unrelated franchises like Call of Duty and Red Dead Redemption hopping on the zombie band-wagon lately as well. Still, they call it 'fashionably late' for a reason, and it's a question as to whether the delay will help or hinder them.

Dead Island's gameplay pacing will vary. Combat situations will definitely quicken the pace, while exploring the island will slow down the pace. It's not necessarily an all-out action game, but there will certainly be action and combat to be experienced.

Dead Island Roundtable Interview
http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q3-2011/071511b.html
The next question I asked was about the development of Dead Island. I wanted to know if Dead Island started out as an RPG or if it shaped into a zombie action RPG over the course of its development. Kummer said that the the game was a zombie RPG from the beginning. In fact, the game had even more RPG mechanics when it was first conceived and the team had to drop some of these RPG elements over the course of development. One of the most interesting discarded elements was multiple storylines with different endings. There was also going to be a mode where some players were infected zombies and others were survivors, which would have been very interesting in an action RPG. In the end, they decided to focus on a few key elements, a strong narrative and co-op play. The multiple story lines and endings were removed to maintain consistency between co-op games. The team felt that if they focused on too much, they would have a lot of bullet points on the back of the box but a mediocre game inside the package. Kummer said about sixty percent of their original ideas are in the game, and the features that were removed and added over the course of development has made for a stronger narrative and co-op campaign.

Hands on with "Dead Island"

What did it for me was upgrading the living crap out of my barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat. Javelining my electro-charged machete at a zombie's skull, thereby separating it from its rotting trunk won me over, too.I'm a huge fan of not using guns in games when I have other means of killing, and in this respect Dead Island didn't disappoint. There are firearms here, but they definitely take a backseat to the improvisational arsenal.

The main story should take around 30 hours to complete, but you are free to explore the island as you want. Even though there is a story coming into the island, there are no time constraints on you, so you are free to explore, scavenge, and take on as many side quests as you want.This is an open world game with different beats and you are free to set your own pace. When you are exploring, taking quests, or crafting weapons the game takes on a slower pace, but when in combat and with your friends the game takes on a faster, action-oriented pace. Kummer said the action never really takes a backseat to the story, rather how and when you choose to engage the story is up to you. If you stay on the main path, the story and action will stay consistently fast-paced. Kummer was also asked how he felt about being compared to Borderlands by a lot of media outlets. Kummer admits that the comparisons to Borderlands and games like it are apt but only in terms of the action. He said the key difference is that Borderlands is not as story driven and doesn't have the emotional impact and slower beats of Dead Island.

It's going to be a more gradual process, and money won't be all that plentiful. Players will certainly get stronger over time, but there are still some eleventh-hour design decisions being made that revolve around player levels and balancing. In addition, players will be forced to be selective with what they spend their money on.
