Next we have a cinematic trailer for Deep Silver's multiplatform
first-person zombie apocalypse action-rpg Dead Island Riptide. The CGI trailer -
which depicts a couple on a boat stranded onshore about to be
swarmed by zombies - attempts to exploit a romantic angle, but we
felt that it couldn't stand up to the first gut-wrenching
reverse-chronological trailer for the sequel Dead Island, which you
should definitely watch here. Granted none of these
trailers are actually truly reflective of the games; the primary
focus of the first title on the crafting of various weapons and
then utilising them to dispatch different types of zombies rather
than the plot, but the artistic and emotional tones combined with
the excellent music make them worth watching at least once.
