You misspelled "Island".

He didn't misspell it. He JUST CHANGED THE OFFICIAL SPELLING. Hells yeah.

that made my day XD

Tis Trailer issa Special!

You can really feel the horror that family is going through and the music gave it an extra weight of misery.

I really can't wait for this game

I have high hopes for this game. Trailer gave goosebumps.

You beat me to it D: curse you!

FUCKING A THAT IS AWESOME I WANT THAT GAME

The constant forward/reverse swapping got a bit tedious by the end, but other than that, yeah... that's a goddamn amazing trailer. Even makes one excited about a new zombie something-or-other, and considering how bloated and overcrowded that market is, that's really saying something,

D:

damn....

awesome.+

piano + slowmo = awesome trailer always

saw this and went 'woah, shivers'

Ho.... Ly.... Shit....

You mean they're seriously doing this game? Finally?? I've been following this thing for 4 years, I thought it was long dead XD

No pun intended.

I liked it.

It would be interesting to see a whole film told in reverse; I wonder if somebody could pull that off.

I've seen a play done in reverse. I mean it starts at the ending and each scene in a few months back in time. So I wouldn't see why someone couldn't make a film like that.

ITS ZOMBIE ISLAND BEACH KILLING PARTY TIME!

But yes this was a very good trailer I hope this game would be good graphics look intense as well Kyu~~

Not to troll, buuut... It's a decent trailer, and a nice little mindfuck. It doesn't interest me for the game at all though. It's going to be a playable zombie drama a la "We're Alive," and that doesn't seem to interest me too much.

Now if you don't mind me, I'll be over in my little corner, watching the ME3 trailer over and over and over and over...

I refuse to look at any ME3 info. I'm going to take a few days off work and just dedicate myself to that game.

I'm just going to stick with trailers. Then, when it comes out, I will neglect all non-academic duties I have and play it.

NEGLECT SOCIAL LIFE
AQUIRE ASARI WAIFU

I wish I hadn't watched that :P Looks interesting though. Not something I'd want myself, but yeah.

To be technical this is some basic film theory to juxtapose the music with the images to create a tearjerker feeling but also because the first thing the game is doing is tying the viewer to an innocent group of heroes which is something a lot of people can want to be and a lot of people can relate to innocence. I really liked it and I'm glad that developers are starting to think this way. I think it knocks a heavy level of depth that has already set this game apart from the rest.

='<

I WANT THIS GAME

I heard techland stopped development of this game..finding issues I think

Oh, Lordy!

Music + Reversed video + Zombies + Blood everywhere = Truly. Orgasmic~

like I said before somewhere else, the way the video is done, reminds me of Coldplay's "THE SCIENTIST".

It's so beautifull... in a bizarre zombie-apocalypse way i____i

Now seriously, I don't care much for the game itself (the whole genre isn't my cup of coffee) but the trailer is a fcking masterpiece!

That's gotta be the most emotional trailer that I've ever seen.

I'm... Not sure I understand what should be making the trailer 'awesome.' I didn't think it was unbelievable. I thought it was barely above average, to be honest. Too drawn out, and zombies dying backwards is still zombies dying. Watching the girl and realizing what'd happened to her was a good touch, but besides that it was just typical zombie killing, but in slow motion and sometimes backwards.
Although, I do think a lot of commercials outright suck, so maybe I've just set my bar too high.

As i said on Blistered Thumbs:


I grow tired of the zombie genre.

The game will have to bring more to the table then zombies for it to get my attention, i will have to see game play footage or try a demo but right now I am not really interested.

This game looks, sad, epic, awesome, and insanely well designed. Thanks for the post. I'd never heard of this game b4 ^_^

Damn; someone obviously had a clue when they scripted that trailer - I don't even like zombie movies/games and I watched it right through to the end with a bit of a sniffle!

I know what you mean, specially that last bit where it's footage the family had shot on their holiday before everything went to hell... Hope the game lives up to the trailer, cos I love anything to do with zombies and have yet to find a zombie game that I like (not a fan of Left 4 Dead)

That was like watching another episode of LOST. With Zombies added.

Badass Trailer is Badass. now if only it told me ANYTHING ABOUT THE FUCKING GAME >:V

WOW that is an awesome game trailer

That is the bleakest game trailer ever. Its like a puppy died from exhaustion D:
... I want

I'll be seeing this.

That three-minute teaser trailer did a better job at getting me to care about the characters than most 40-hour RPGs. The cinematics team deserves a thumbs-up. b(^_-)z

Now if the game itself is half as good as its teaser, I'll definitely look into picking it up.

Someone needs to show this to Roger Games-Can-Never-Be-Art Ebert.

I am so hot for this game right now. I hope it doesn't end up sucking.

And you are right, Dragoneer. That is how you advertise a good lokking game like that. Anyone know what system it's coming out for?

PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, according to IGN.

Thank you very much, Tatsudoshi.

WORST FAMILY VACATION...EVER

Should have used Priceline.com :V

but we would have to deal with undead William Shatner D=

No way, the Negotiator would have booked them a hotel without zombie service, and saved them money.

either that or the Big Deal would have talked down and/or smacked down any zombie infestation.

this is the first anything that I've seen that has made me close my laptop and made me have to walk away for a while.

I kind of was reminded of Heavy Rain in the factor that there was family lost. Heavy Rain too is a great game and I stand by that statement. "How would you feel if you lost someone you love, regardless of situation?" That is what is the hook in people's hearts.

I call foul for use of weepy music and injured child. That's easily 80 percent of the emotional impact. Too easy. Take those two away and try to achieve the same amount of impact.

And would someone please explain the orgy of undead cannibal novels, games, books, mini-series, cartoons, graphic novels, dolls, movies, etc., etc., etc? What does it mean? Aren't we creating hell on earth fast enough for some people?

is this a game and if so what platform will it be on, im so interested now.

i saw that on kotaku. indeed it was emotional

OK! No more mercy to play Left 4 Dead!!!

My goodness... now that's somethin.

that ditto is either on steroids or trippin its balls off

Indeed...it was so....well done.....Bets trailer of the year so far.....*tears*

FUCK!! im as waiting its game since 5 years! hope its time be real and dont be suspended again!

keep waiting for the game of subcubus, where you was a zombie that can control another zombies, same was announce the same year and was stoped too

Yeah, we were looking that over at work today. :3 Looks like some hot IP in the making.

I concur!! F'ing amazing!!! :D

I am totally 100% tired of zombies by now. However.... I would be lying if I said my curiosity weren't piqued... so maybe not quite 100%. ^__^;

"Nobody leaves the island... ALIVE!!!!!!"

very interesting

Nice trailler, I wanna learn more now too bad the official site is completely broken with it redirecting to a site that redirects to it causing an infinite loop error.

According to your Time Stamp, you watched this about the same time I did today, when I found it. Musta been roaming the gaming forums and StumbledUpon it ehh?

this trailer made me sad inside and gave me a whole new reason to hate frickin zombies.

Wow is pretty much how I summed it up myself.

f'yes! thats what I said when I saw it, thats how you make a fucking trailer ;)

Greatest trailer ever made.
I want that game even more now. X3

HOLY SHIT.... NOW THAT!! is how you make a trailer, damn that looked amazing

this game will be awesome.

I want to play it :O

Does anybody knows the title of the song / or where I can get it (besides buying the game perhaps)?

That is how a zombie game/movie/serie/etc shall be. Tragedy, sadness, emotional nightmares. Not something filled with humor and stupid puns. I see nothing funny with your loved ones raising from the dead and the only choice you have is to destroy their brains to prevent them from destroying you. Too many games and movies today mix comedy and zombies, something I mean is plain stupid. Zombies = horror. Awlays have been and always will be.

This game looks fantastic.

VERY powerful. A little long-winded, but an excellent trailer nonetheless.

Yeah. I just watched that about an hour ago. Almost made me cry.

Off topic though: What's up with the furry survey 2011? Will we see the results? If so, when?

Wow, that looks like it might be good.

Oh God, that's like the most depressing thing I've seen all day.

I don't know how.. but this made me feel sorry for a video game family.. D:

It's more dramatic in "Reverse|Forward" than "Forward|Reverse"

I'm SO buying this game!

That little thing at the end? Yeah, those always get me *sobs*

Great original trailer, old unoriginal game idea.

Well, it's not really easy to go original with zombies. They're dead. They eat you.

Very true. After all this did for sure interest me a lot more than LFD1&2

I am disturbed and upset and angry with this trailer. Is that supposed to happen?

Hey at least the vacation isn''t dead boring :D

Shame the actual game won't be as serious as the trailer. (as admitted by Techland)
