when did this re-surface? I knew about this a loooooong time ago but suddenly it dropped off the radar. I saw all sorts of tech-demos with regards to various levels flesh rendering, (literally layers of flesh) and a "movie-like" trailer that seemed somewhat similar to the end of 28 days later - but then nothing! *checking video now*

That honestly was the best trailer I have seen in a long time. Really, really well presented.

looks pretty cool. No sound since I'm sitting in my c++ class, but man... any video that starts off with a dead kid can't be too bad. I'll watch it again when I can enjoy it fully. Good quality animation too, judging from the small screen and low quality I watched on.

That's an amazing trailer. Someone went to film school. Let's hope the game turns out to be as good as the trailer!

Also keeping an eye on zombie survival RPG Dead State

but it seems to be really early in production.

watch the trailer again in 720p and with sound. Man... that's one of the best game trailers of all time.

I just did that. I think I may send it to my friend who's into zombie movies but not into games (apart from the usualy female stuff like Sims and Tycoon games). Turn her for good!

hey, good idea... I think I'll pass it to a friend of mine that does 3d animation (but doesn't game). If nothing else, he'll appreciate the really nice design.

Some footage.

meh, that teaser's nowhere near as good as the first one. "They will be stuck forever.... in death!" Ok... where'd they get the melodramatic writer? Did they hire Ox or something?

No no my pitch was turned down, it featured crying children being chewed on by zombies and survivors killing each other for food. They said it was 'too depressing' or something.

But yeah, this trailer wasn't really very interesting. Game should be out before too soon, let's hope it delivers on some of its promises.

Long gameplay vid, it actually looks like a lot of fun. Do check.

Yeah looks fun. And 4 player coop spells possible insta-win, but the massive icons and possible consolification turn me off. Besides, it's not that gritty.

I think some development houses should think about hiring someone to do their walkthrough voice overs...

Yeah I never got why they let nerdy designers talk about their game - 95% of them are completely incapable of any sort of decent or charismatic presentation. Not using the same 2 words in every sentence ("like", "really") would also help.

And yeah Derf, I hear ya. We can only wait and see. I think the end result may be a lot more on-rails than it looks now. (do this, then do that, then fight this horde there instead of actually surviving on a free-to-roam island)
