Now I'm getting this. Maybe not at $50, but eventually.
The most emotional video game trailer I've ever seen.
I'm dying to play this game, but I think I'm more excited to see the movie.
They should call that thing Uncanny Valley! Especially that family photo thing at the end of the trailer. Zombie or not, if I saw something looking like that in real life, I'd run away from that Terminator prototype!

Brilliant trailer. Really fantastic, but I hate the first person view in the game play. I think it was starting to give me a migraine and the player attacks looked really silly with her arms and legs sort of flailing out in front of her like some children's pop-up book. Trailer at the Dead Island website had some really cringe-worthy dialogue and I think I kind of hate the playable characters. Oh well. Guess I'll just wait for the inevitable Dead Rising 3.
I've been hearing the word "emotional" thrown at that trailer for months now. Sorry, but as a Silent Hill junky and a person who has watched the Raft scene from the first season of Lost about a million times (ditto Tallahassee's shootout scene at the end of Zombieland), it's gonna take more than some sentimental music to make an otherwise comical and ridiculous zombie attack "emotional" to me. It's just not.
What it is, however, is interesting and exciting, and I, too, look forward to the game. And to the new Silent Hill coming in October.

I'm actually interested in this for the free-roaming sandbox angle, but man I'm disappointed to hear that the actual game is much closer in tone to Dead Rising rather than that trailer.
Nothing against Dead Rising(which is awesome), but you knew what you're getting into with that series.
That and apparently all of the characters are annoying, painful stereotypes. Maybe Left 4 Dead has spoiled me, but there's only playable character in Dead Island that doesn't immediately make my teeth grind when I read the write-ups.
High-heels on a beach? Dammit....
The cinematic trailers are cool and all but I saw a gameplay trailer the other day.
Dead Island is Left 4 Dead. On an island.
And how many possible undead could there be on a beach resort island? A few hundred? Couple thousand? That's like one level.
The most emotional video game trailer I've ever seen.
More emotional then this?
That tugs at the heart stings right there. ;)
Anatomy. You fail at it. That's not your heart. That's considerably further up.
But this actually looks not bad. And I don't mean the eye candy. Well, not just.
It reminds me of Bayonetta. A strong female lead who won't just hide her looks, but attacks with it. Not just enticing men with it, but cruelly taunting them. And then obliterating them, and basically everything in her path.
Though this probably won't be quite as good as Bayonetta. After all, that game measures damage in gigatons.
Pass.
Trailers are awesome but as far as FPS go, waiting on Rage from Id Software.
I'm a little divided between getting this now or waiting until it's $20-30. Reviews have been good, but not great with lots of complaints that most of the objectives/missions are basically fetch quests- more or less exactly like Borderlands.
I picked it up this morning and have been having a lot of fun with it so far. I'd say it is a combo of Fallout (RPG elements, big map, weapons take damage), Left 4 Dead (different types of zombies), Dead Rising (making weapons) and Borderlands (coop and three-branch skill tree).
I got it and I'm enjoying it despite some gripes. The quests are pretty meh and it seems like a disproportionate number of people in fictional New Guinea are from the American South. The resort area didn't excite me too much, but once you move into the city it starts getting more compelling.
