So, judging by the gameplay so far this is more like Dead Island 1.3? :stare:

I think it looks alright. Then again, trailers can be deceiving..

Much as I like the look of Dying Light, I really wanted a Dead Island game that didn't look and play like total arse whenever it felt like it, so I am happy they aren't straying too far from the formula here.

Guess I'll be getting both then!

Looks way more amazing than I was expecting, definitely pre-ordering.

At this point I'm thinking Dying Light will end up being better, but I enjoyed the fun-but-flawed Dead Island and DI: Riptide. I thought Riptide was better than how everyone made it out to be, but neither game was particularly good from a story or technical perspective. Lots of fun though.

I like that this one is adopting a more silly, fun vibe, and hopefully it turns out good. The gameplay looks solid, but slightly off to me. We'll see how it turns out next year though, I guess. I'll keep my eye on it.
