The he said, "I hope there's a zombie apocalypse one day, so that we can kill zombies together. That would be really fun." For a morbid second, I imagined what it would be like if something similar to that trailer happened to him and me. It was all I could do not to tear up.

So I said, "Actually, I don't think it would be that fun. 'Cuz at least one person you knew would become a zombie."

He thought about that for a minute, then he said, "If you were a zombie, I'd let you bite me so that we could be zombies together. But if I was a zombie and you didn't want to be one, you could kill me if you wanted."

I pretty much broke down right then."

I read this on the gamefaqs forum about Dead Island, figured I share. Thought it was touching.

You guys might find this interesting.

It's the whole trailer played forwards.

I thought it was cool, but can't say I was particularly moved by it! Am I heartless?

Techland FTW though, I like them.

Adventureless hero posted a new thread about the same thing. I'm on my phone right now, so I'm just cutting and pasting his post to here. I'll try to make this cleaner when I can get to my lappy.

The more I watch it, the harder it is to stomach. It starts to feel to close to home. I have a small family; just me, my wife, and my daughter. We often spend our daughters birthday at the beach, so that coupled with my love/fear of zombies makes this video both painful and enjoyable. I just tell myself, don't be that family, be better than them. Survive!

lol, yeah, it's a cool trailer.

Yes you're soulless and inhuman. You've obviously been bitten and are in mid-"turning" process. I saw "28 Days Later", I know what happened to all you United Kingdomites.... (CAUTION: do not take a word of this post seriously! Mwahahahaaaa......)

You know the game isn't even about this family, this is supposedly what the movie is going to be about, so really its a trailer for the movie which is kind of based on a game.

Wow, I'm lazy. Thanks for moving my post nikvoodoo. Sorry I keep creating threads for existing shtuff man, but someone has to make sure the mods are doing something besides shooting rubberbands at empty Mt. Dew bottles.

My wife recently watched this trailer with me. She's quite the emotional type so when by the end of the trailer, when the father smiles slightly on being reunited with his daughter, she was brought to tears.

I do believe that if the game is able to develop this kind of emotional intensity as you play, then it will at the very least please me.

Oh jesus, I watched this and on it there was a must watch video called Dead Island Literal Trailer. They're making fun of the trailer and I just couldn't stop myself from laughing. It was just so screwed up.
