Be ballsy enough to show a dead little girl in the trailer

Zombies can usually be explained by some sci-fi shit, like viruses.
Skeletons just won't work without magic.

What about nanomachine skeletons?
Also why is that a problem?

This has been went over multiple times. Would people have bought it if this piece of shit intro was the trailer? The trailer was to trick gullible niggas.

There is like fucking air between bones dude.

They pussied out because the ESRB forbids any kind of kids diying but Dead Space 1& 2 got away with it by having zombie babies and zombie kids like wtf?!

Why did the telltale Walking Dead games get away with it, then?

WRONG. You can pull some Parasite Eve bullshit where skeletons are like mitochondria: a separate species that live inside humans, biding their time.

What did he mean by this?

...

I mean skeletons can only be explained by magic.

Reminds me of when Modern Warfare 3 tried to be "controversial" with that scene of the chemical attack in London that had some lady and her kid get blown up in the blast. They very obviously tried to "outdo" the whole airport level from MW2 (the game even asks you if you'd rather skip the cutscene in case you find it too "graphic" like No Russian did) but at the same time didn't want to be too controversial and scare off Jew investors/advertisers. The cutscene itself is tame. The little girl that is prominently featured as the main casualty even vanishes into thin air once the gas bomb pops.

Nah just put monsoon style mag-lev shit in each seperate bone. That would work perfectly.

there's a pc zombie game with dead kids

could even be explained by the electrical nervous system magnetizing the iron in blood and since red blood cells come from bones that's close enough to zombie science to work

no more room in hell has zombie kids

That reminds me about that snail that incorporates iron into its shell.
Iron bones dripping rusty red liquid controlled by a super charged electrical nervous system. I like it.

This fucking trailer is the definition of false advertising none of this shit was even in the game yet the trailer showed so much emotion and was so interesting at the time.
FUCKING NIGGERS

If the game was half as good as the trailer I would've been happy.

Naw naw naw, the rusty red liquid super versions are the late game self-repairing ones. Like regenerators from RE4.

skeles perfect family raising material

Why did I never hear about this

They aren't technically games.

People initially got hyped by the trailers but the games themselves were mediocre trash. They even jumped the shark with a MOBA that was dead in the water when it went open beta. I though the series was dead but apparently the actual sequel and not Riptide or Escape Dead Island, Dead Island 2 is suppose to come out either later this year or 2018.

Does anyone really still care about Dead Island when we've already had a slew of zombie theme games already?

There should be a whole game about being a drunk asshole on a bender.

There should be a game about being a drunk asshole on a bender during a zombie apocalypse.

Skeletons could be explained with saprophytes like how zombies can be explained by infection. Imagine a fictional dodder-like or worm-like saprophyte that attaches itself to a skeleton to extract the nutrients that are trapped in the bones. Movement and hostility of the parasitized skeleton could be used as a mechanism for this organism to propagate itself and find new skeletons to consume.
While fictional, it explains skeletons without resorting to nanotechnology or magic.

I will never understand how this game was even mildly well received. The game was a glitchy mess that was practically a beta version. Have the praise for it was because it had a "good" trailer.

I care because I'm still butthurt over the trailer

That's a nice idea, actually. I'd love for a game to include all the typical magical tropes and give them an scientific/plausible explanation through visual design.

oh boy I can't wait for everyone in the world to be using this idea soon

I'm confident that most supernatural entities outside of outright spirits/ghosts can be explained with biology. Zombies have been given the most love regarding this treatment, with causes being everything from viruses to cordyceps fungus one of the few things Last of Us did right

I have no problem with the idea being used by /agdg/ anons, but I sincerely doubt that AAA devs browse these boards outside of shilling purposes. If they're looking on fucking Holla Forums for ideas then they're desperate for new ideas.

On a related subject, I think that altering how in-game people react to their world is important to make the world feel lived in and alive. I would presume that in a world with reanimating saprophytes, burial rites would be significantly different as would attitudes towards the dead.
I would be exceptionally disappointed if my skeleton idea was used without any consideration for how it would effect the people that live in the world.

/thread
this shit's been retreaded for years and fucking years

Depicting harmed children isn't ballsy, it's novel - kikes have rejiggered our culture so we never stop persuing novelty, it's why none of us will be truly happy. It's also why the left is pushing for pedos and giving kids hormones now that sodomy is old news.

ESRB is inconsistent

this is an actual enemy in Doom 3

also, Painkiller lets you kill orphans and the male ones have a face of Hitler

Not to mention that each bone should be able to keep it's relative position and move like a mini-aircraft.
That's a spectacular waste of energy and technology.

What keeps bones together is ligaments and muscles. Nanomachines don't work as explanation.

What? Are you retarded? Magentized iron in blood? There's not enough iron in blood (let alone bones) for that, and skeletons don't have a central nervous system.
So even if magical magnetic forces could keep bones together, the question is what makes them move and keep balance?

Where does the balance, strength required to move and sight come from?
You'd have a heap of bones covered with fungal growth, that's what.

Virtual Reality headset controllers, duh

Has the zombie fad finally died down?
I can't remember when was the last time i saw zombie shit on steam or elsewhere.

Dead Island is an entire game of why. Every decision made outside of the trailer is fucking retarded.

Now that you mention it it does seem to have died off a lot. Maybe when normalfags finally get sick of TWD it'll fuck off for good.

Be careful what you wish for. Replacing zombies with skeletons means you will probably have to destroy them at some point.

...

Fun fact, I distinctly remember hearing that a film company licensed to make a movie based on it.
Not the game, the trailer.
Just the trailer.

If that isn't grounds to emphasize that the trailer shouldn't be advertising the game, I don't know what is.

...

Development hell.
Also there's a game called Dying Light made by the same company so it was a bad idea to make 2 identical games.

The Walking Dead is still alive.

The new fad seems to be hunger-games related.

"Give us cool space skeletons, that aren't even skeletons"
Fuck off, with that crazy shit.
That's bad and you know it.
I'd be better if you can't explain why they exist, and have a mystery about it.
"MUH NANITE SPACE BONES"
LOL you fucking fag.

When will normalfags learn?

...

pubg is pretty fun

What gets me is the retarded decision to give your character an ultimate. It might have worked if it had been something like an adrenaline rush when at low health that just makes you a bit better at everything, one last high risk chance to save the situation, but no. Instead we have a survival horror game where weapon durability is important, and ammo is scarce have its characters hold onto indestructible weapons and infinite ammo so you can break all immersion and tension instantly with the press of a button.

And another thing: In that opening video we see cameos of the main cast from the perspective of that drunk asshole and watch him pass out in his hotel room. But then we wake back up in the same spot as one of those cast members. There's Jack and pills on the floor right where the fell in the scene. Why the fuck did they do this?

This reminds me of another problem I had: Why the fuck did they hand out quests for zones that you were still hours away from unlocking? I presumed that the whole thing was open world, so when they gave me a quest to check out a downed plane in the jungle I followed the quest marker all the way up the map until I hit the border, got confused, looked it up, and cursed devs' and my own stupidity.

Is there a reason that a game has to get ESRB rated? Maybe devs should say "fuck it" and release their games unrated, especially considering you have to bribe pay the ESRB to rate your game in the first place.

The only actual practical problem with releasing a game with dead kids in it, is that it's illegal to sell such content in pozzed nanny states like Germany - and Germans are a pretty large market of turbo-autists, so that's money you might not want to pass up.

speed running saved this game as well as dying light, normalfags are the worst

Console manufacturers refuse to let you put a game that is unrated on their system, and retailers refuse unrated or AO(or equivalent) games. That said getting a rating is fucking useless if you're just doing a digital-only PC game.

I never get why you guys hate dead island, i had some really good times on it with me and 3 other randos that i played with on the ps3 the electric bat was the best

why do people even get hyped for those anymore?

Yeah, it always was a C.G.I. trailer you dipshits, I thought you guys were shills instead of retards on cuck Holla Forums because you wouldn't shut the fuck up about it.

Every day I learn about a new problem that consoles have caused.

It's not just problem with consoles. Markets are also to blame, because they refuse to sell AO-rated games.

"it's fun with friends" only in your case it was acquaintances?
yeah, if the game came with three human beings that were guaranteed to play with you in a way that made it fun, then maybe we could assess it on that basis. you fucking mong.

i want you to make a list of every reason why rotting corpses can't move

here i'll start one off for you: they're dead and therefore have no power source for the muscles

The children and babies in Dead Space 2 is another one.

The only thing zombies are good for is killing pieces of shit and rarely demonstrating the power of dick,unity by having enough left in their souls to rape and not waste pieces of ass.

Skeletons are superior and they'd probably be more fun and funny to fight to take the piss out of depressing ass tryhard apocalypses by removing the element of average people turned into nightmarish unthinking monsters while looking almost exactly the same minus incapacitating injury to highlight failed attempts to survive by them and others. Imagine everything being destructible and usable to compliment having to fight in world that's fallen to spooky skeletons having to be destroyed with excessive force and uses of energy or explosives and everyone treating it as srs bizness with music as well occasionally taking a break to go silly to the point something like Dry Bones comically causes them to shit themselves in trauma.

Someone should make pc-only game and leave it unrated and use it as a marketing gimmick, could sell a lot. And it should be just a pretty normal game but without censor.
Kids die in reality by millions in shitholes and nobody gives a fuck or get disturbed so i think we can handle anything a game can trow at us.
Well at least you can kill kids in fallout 2 if you so choose.

Why do I want this so hard?

Give it a try

>Taking inspiration from Dark Souls, when the player dies in the game all of their items are left on their corpse at the location of death
Alright it's got me interested, now for the 5 dollars question: is it fun?

Is the game actually good? I've been thinking of getting it for years.

...

Because they are braindead

It's certainly worth a try at least, just pirate it and find out if you like it or not

But Dead Space 1 and 2 released no problem in germany either.
The only game I can recall ever getting put on 18+ rating was that devil child game lucio and that did fine I think.

zombies have reached a point of being fucking slapstick from overstaturation so don't bank on it

plus anyone trying to pull a stunt like that would just copy TLOU or TWD because that's what normalfags think is interesting

seeing this thread made me remember though how fucking pussy game violence is now with a handful of exceptions like mortal kombat

even Hatred had some weak ass excuses for blood and gore, hyper violence is fucking dead

Same reason why you pretty much have to get your film rated by the MPAA; If you dont, everyone will just assume it's some demonic snuff porno and almost no retailers will sell it.

...

"Hyper Violence" is dead because the graphics are getting more and more realistic.
You may think that's dumb, but the graphics becoming more realistic is also why suddenly there had been such an uproar all over about tiddies in vidya.
The complaints of violence back in the era of Doom and like the first Mortal Kombat were not taken very seriously at all.
Nobody complained about Duke Nukem's strippers.

But now? Now things are looking a bit too real and making retards/normalfags uncomfortable.
Both with violence and with sexuality.

Then nomalfags should get the fuck out.

All of these complaints of violence and nudity is bad is from western and white people country from land down under.

Your goverments have created a breed of faggots and pussies.

I'm not shaming you guys but i hope things get better. You guys are the shining beacon of "hardcore" in every aspect.

Explain to me how exactly death by White Phosphorous is so much worse than High Explosive? Explain so called Spec Ops are a bunch of pussies whining over "Muh civilian casualties, muh collateral damage"?

Goddamn what a pretentious load of shit.

I don't think they can. Social media shove shit to your eyelids the moment you turn on your phone or internet.
I thank the tech industry for whoring tech en masse.

These people are everywhere.

[citation needed]

Nothing you said is even remotely true.

Yeah…unless magic decalres decomposition bacteria doesnt work for wyatever bullshit reason.

Great argument.

The thing about zombie outbreaks is that the threat is immediate and there and huge.
It supposed to be something that takes over an area REALLY quickly.

Zombies by biology is something that would be a problem for maybe 3 or 4 days.
Zombies by magic is a bigger problem though.

Again, maybe because *magical bullshit in disguise* whatever animates the corpses eats any and all bacteria that attempts decomposition

And it depends. TWD Zombies are world enders. Because the vast majority of societies just collapse outside of Norkland, whers the old and dying all get restrained and put down immediately.

Everywhere else? It might take a week, but once the Food Riots start, its fucking over. Too many corpses being made too fast, and so in certain areas it ends up with hordes that are legit millions strong, vs a disperses and broken military and whatever civilians have weapons and fortifications….

And then the food situation comes up again…and like, its recoverable, like any plague, but now there is the added danger of hordes of fucking zombies.

And give it some years and anyone who isnt/wasnt farming and herding ? They start starving too because unlike TVland, food doesnt stay unspoilt forever.

And then….well anyways. Once people stop trusting the central authority, and local authority begins abandoning them, its done.

Says the guy making unfounded claims.

That game was so good the entirety if act one, then it just lost the magic.
Played CO-OP tho.

That was just them fulfilling their yearly edge quota. It didnt even start with MW2, there was the nuke scene in CoD4 as well.

It's the only game that genuinely scares me when I play it.

For once, maybe this game might actually be good.

...

literally worthless unless you play it co-op

speak for yourself, edgelord

did you just skip the entire thread, or are you retarded?

name 1, I dare you.

anime doesn't count.
walking dead doesn't count, that's not a "game"
last of us doesn't count, too old

fuck off retard

...

is this a joke? the same developer that raped LittleBigPlanet?

Christ nigger, you can reply to multiple posters in a single comment you know.

Says the guy who has been playing games for 25 years.
The freak out in the 90's wasn't a historical curiosity to me, it was a fucking reality.

You
You are the faggot in this situation.
You faggot.

Look, at the root of it, the zombie apocalypse is the most attractive apocalypse scenario simply because people think it is something they would personally survive.
It gives people the hope of personal agency in an a apocalyptic scenario that nuclear bombs and such do not give.

In other words:

It is when they expect you to do it and preach at you afterwards

What said. I remember playing it for about 3 or 4 hours when it first released, and I gotta say, something about the game just scared the piss out of me. I think it mostly came from the sound design. The combat was okay from what I played of it, so I think it's totally worth a try.

Yup. And it leaves a lot of shit intact.

I could see it honestly. Just like Postal 2 except they don't even have a facade of decency anymore. Ever nigger rig incredibly dangerous yet potent weapons together while drunk? Those are the kind of weapons I'de like to use in a video game.

lol that's what you get

war isn't "fun" and I love how much butthurt spec ops caused

I never said war was fun, dipshit.
But a video game isn't war.
How would you like it if a Resident Evil game stopped right in the middle of the story and began philosophizing about the morality of killing zombies due to them being former humans?
How would you like a Mario game where it stops and analyzes the social conditions of the Koopa kingdom that leads the average Goomba or Shy Guy to serve in Bowser's army?
Philosophy is fine and dandy, war should not be a Micheal Bay movie like the COD shitters think it is, but don't pull cheap shit like shaming the player for playing the fucking game!

in general i agree but skeletons are completely incapable of displaying femininity in a convincing manner

i think you have to escort one in one of the resident evil games, no not re4

the difference is that zombies and the rest are entirely fictional.

Are you a faggot? It is a video game.

lies

It's your own fault for wanting a "realistic" but "fun" war scenario. That's just stupid.

I stick to shit like Team Fortress

...

What I mean is where one scene shows zombies to have the consistency of a wet paper bag full of oatmeal and can be beat to death by a half rotten stick and then the next they they have retard strength X 10 and can tear people to pieces with their bare hands or "survive" explosions that would disrupt a persons organs and bones.

The word you're looking for is inconsistent

That skelly got some hips

FUG. Spellchecker and my public school education has failed me yet again.

...

A pretentious faggot has been detected. Wow. Such amaze.

Conscientious Objector aka Whiny Faggot exists as a reason. Dont sjgn up if you're a bitch

It didnt cause any butthurt. It just revealed to everyone who the pretentious shitweeds were.

Nanomachines wouldn't be able to animate skeletons. You need way too many Nanites to get a skeleton moving so you might as well just make the actual nanites combine into a skeleton-like structure and spray-paint it white to look like one.

What you really need to animate a skeleton IRL is to use genetic engineering to modify the marrow so that it can move like a real person.

Would have been edgier to kill a dog

fuck doglovers

YEAH FUCKING KILL AND RAPE KIDS IT'S WHAT THEY DESERVE, YEAH YEAH YEAH!!

You need to fuck off.

Welcome to marketing.

...

The trailer that tried to make you believe Dead Island wasn't a crappy zombie Borderlands.

I'm fucking tired of zombie stories that aren't close to anything related to classic zombies. Also I hate special zombies because some shitty random mutations.

nice projection, pedofaggot

Yeah the L4D's were ruined by the special zombies, I just wanted a game mowing down regulars where the difficulty is them not touching you.

Dying light was so close but then they just had to insert special zombies

...

That is a weird place for a dog to be sleeping.
AND DON'T YOU TELL ME OTHERWISE!

go back to cuckchan you fucking faggot

Well actually (((they))) like it that way, if they actually showed the kids dying everyday it would desensitize people. By showing kids dying only when it furthers their agenda they get another tool in their toolbox.

RE2, with Claire Redfield escorting Sherry Berkin

There is also one in revelations 2, best companion too.

Are there any zombie games where you've been infected, and you have a finite amount of time to complete before you turn?
No dead rising crap where you can hold it at bay with meds, your demise is coming and you can't fight it.

Did I ever imply for a second that it was a good game, user? All I said was that they were the initial developers.

Not about the game, but about the trailer. Fucking ridiculous.

makes sense, the trailer is easily worth more than the entirety of the game
