E-P-I-C!

First, it was getting used to video games having trailers.  Then, it was watching those trailers become more cinematographically amazing than most movies.  Now, it’s wondering whether or not you should feel silly for having a video game trailer bring a tear to your eye.   

Is it the backwards animation?  Is it the slow motion?  Is it the eerie piano music?  Is it the zombies?  (I know that I tend to be terribly biased towards things that contain undead awesomeness…) 

Whatever it is, this trailer is incredible and I dare you to watch it and say otherwise!

That being said, if you do watch it and say otherwise, keep it to yourself.   Just kidding.  Kinda.  

If you find that you’re more the linear type,* you can also click HERE to watch the trailer in forward motion.  (It’s still totally epic, in case you’re wondering!)

So, who’s excited for IGN to provide more details, like a release date?  Ok, who besides me?

If you want to know a bit more about the game, here’s the write up from IGN’s official game site:

“Dead Island is a non-linear first-person shooter in which you find yourself on an island plunged into chaos. It’s a place where the word “dead” has an entirely new meaning. Face the nightmare and fight for survival.

Use anything you find in your surroundings as a weapon. Make decisions that influence the entire world around you, take advantage of opponent behavior and game physics, and explore the secrets hidden in the darkest regions of the island”

Like a kid who has just finished a Lik-M-Aid, I’m so jazzed up about this trailer that I’m bouncing off the walls!**

I think the only great way to end this post is with a fitting, timely zombie joke, so here goes:

What ruins a zombie vacation?  When it RAAAAAAAAAAINS!

No need to say “thank you,” because you’re welcome. ;)



 

*Let me guess, you’re the person who had to watch Memento in order, aren’t you?!
