Dead Island... you have to see this

Joystiq reposted the IGN trailer for Dead Island (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) that is tearing up the internet with buzz. Deep Silver, the publisher of the underappreciated Cursed Mountain for the Wii, is publishing this game from Techland. Some of you may be familiar with Techland's work in the second Call of Juarez game series. We can only hope this new game meets the incredibly high bar set by its trailer--if its this good, things will never be the same in the zombie game genre.



After you watch the trailer, be sure to click over and read some of the detailed info that IGN has posted about the game--we're talking scavenged weapons (not many guns), zombie destruction models that may prove stomach turning, all-melee combat, and RPG skill trees. Pretty ambitious...

EDIT: all that being said, its just a trailer--and its made by a company that specializes in trailers. I can't imagine how this will be indicative of actual gameplay.
