Hey RPG Fans, You Might Want To Check Out Dead Island

A few days ago, we presented the complicated question: "What is an RPG?" And while developer Techland hesitates to label Dead Island as "role-playing," fans of the genre should still pay attention.

And here's why. We participated in a roundtable discussion concerning the promising title that launches on September 6. And while it technically isn't an RPG, check out some of the details:

Characters level up, and weapons will have level designations as well (i.e., Lv. 3 Machete here, Lv. 12 Machete there).
Story-driven with a large, open, explorable map. The only caveat is that not everything will be open immediately.
Loot drops
Weapon crafting system
30+ hours to complete; 50+ if you choose to do everything and find every collectible.
Region-specific damage system; severed leg will cause a zombie to fall and crawl towards you, for instance.

And beneath it all lies a definite semblance of realism. The reason there aren't a whole lot of firearms on the island is because, as they put it, you don't usually pack an arsenal when you head out on a vacation to paradise. Survival is the name of the game.

Furthermore, while co-op will be a big draw, the developer insists that the single-payer experience will be equally fulfilling, and we will play by ourselves if we go solo. In other words, no AI-driven allies. But don't be too quick to slap the RPG label on there; Techland says their game is closer to Borderlands than something like The Elder Scrolls.

You can't create a character from scratch or change how they look with equipment, and that's a big part of RPGs. But considering the rest of the information, there's no doubt that role-playing fans might get a lot of enjoyment out of this one. We're willing to call it a hybrid, actually.

Definitely sounds like something I'll have to keep an eye out for. I got totally lost in the world of Borderlands for a LOT of hours, so I don't see why I wouldn't enjoy a game like Dead Island.

I'm not too worried about it, I can wander Fallout wastes and Elder Scrolls rolling hills for longer periods with nothing happening and be plenty content. A desolate tropical island sounds fun to poke around too, just stumbling on the occasional dumpster diver and putting a bat between his eyes.

I gotta disagree. It may be uneventful, but it isn't boring. kinda reminds me of classic RE or SH where you spend most of the time searching. Although I must say that the gameplay is almost like King's Field. Anyway, i'm sold on this 30+ hours min?? yes please.

I *love* open world games.
There's not a single spot on the Fallout 3 map where I have not set foot. I can spend hours wandering aimlessly around in those games, just looking at the scenery.
But there have to be at a chance to discover something - items, sightings, maybe a side quest even, or a hidden location - that is motivation enough, I don't even have to actually find much!

But in the mentioned video it doesn't look like there is anything to discover or anything special to see *at all*. Just some bodies scattered around that - surprise surprise - start moving when you approach them.
... And that's it.
I hope I am wrong here, I really do. And lord knows I have been wrong before. But those 20 minutes showcasing gameplay were *dull*. 30 hours of *that*? Uhm... No thanks!

alright I'll get off my ass and look at it, see if there's anything I can add.

Okay I've looked at the footage. I wouldn't defend a game just because it looks good to me, I really think or at least hope there's something to the "feel" in this. By that I mean the way open worlds have their own feeling that keeps you coming back which can't be gleaned from a video.

Personally I don't watch the Skyrim videos because of this very thing, they are boring and crappy to watch. They look awesome to fans because fans think of what they have played before only better as they see changes. I'm getting the game, I loved Oblivion, and I know I'll have that wide world fantasy feeling of control over things but gameplay videos of open world games always look boring to the uninitiated. The problem is with Dead Island it's adding something typically without depth or imagination: zombies. So there's no "feeling" evoked by watching this just as watching footage of a Fallout game will look better to someone who has lived in that world than someone who has not.

Here I feel I'm watching somebody play Far Cry (on a basic level) and I can't think of anything more boring than that from a game that's fun to play. Also I think the wandering here is on purpose. Either they didn't want to give away any side quests or searches or possibly that stuff just wasn't ready to show at the time of this gameplay demo so they are showing what they can which is the environment and random wandering.

I think any open world game looks the same to a simple observer when the player is just wandering doing nothing. If I'm wrong I'll be the first to admit it and apologize if anybody bought a bad game based on my rants.

I'm agreeing with world here. You can clearly see that a few side missions were skipped.

also, 20 minutes of a 30+ hour game doesn't really speak much and honestly I didn't watch the entire thing. But from what I did see, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this is just the start of the game. Having said that I think its safe to assume that this might even be a tutorial type level.

I hope you guys are right. There's nothing I want more than a 4 player campaign coop game to succeed, there's way too few of them around.

The graphics in itself looks good enough for an open world this size, let's hope the same can be said about the content. The reviews are just around the corner!

I Thought we cleared this up on the article you posted at the beginning this is not an RPG. niether is Fallout, Mass Effect or even the few you of you that are silly enough to think Bioshock is an RPG....Nonsense!

This is a first person shooter, you'd think audiences this generation would understand what that implies after the bucket load we have had this generation... it seems the mass is just overwriting the RPG's existance, which is sad.

Fallout is a game which has just took a load of genre's and mashed them up into 1. its not a turn based rpg, tactical RPG, action RPG. I call them PAG's personal action games, as they require the player to step i nthe portagonist's shoes rather than following a main character through an adventure like FFIX for example.

Maybe if you'd actually read the article, you'd see I say Dead Island ISN'T an RPG. I say it twice, in fact.

And nobody confirmed anything concerning RPGs; your definition isn't the be-all, end-all. That's why it's such a complicated question.

You said it isn't but you're clearly hinting at it being so... I'm just sick of people thinking that just becuase you can customise weapons or make your character stronger in progression that classifies the game as an RPG. Utter poppycock.

There is a clear difference from a game:
- RPG's likeFinal Fantasy/Star Ocean
- to action RPG's like Neir/Zelda/ Fable
- to what ever Mass Effect/Fallout are
- to FPS's like Borderlands/Bioshock/Dead Island & people need to realise that.

Ultima,

I don't believe he is hinting about anything. He simply was suggesting this game to those that like RPGs as it seems to include some RPG elements.

I wasn't going to check this game out until World informed me last night about some of its "depth" of gameplay. After reading more about it and taking Ben's suggestion into consideration I plan on playing this down the road.

No I don't, In fallout the main character is not written, he (or she) is transparrent, the player essentially steps into his shoes and the story and is told by the characters and situations which happen around this avatar you control in the game. It's not an FF game where you follow Tidus through the story with a party of characters.

I have yet to play White Knight Chronicles, I did not like the battle system which seems similar to an MMO. But the second game seems to have made the combat fast and give you the 1st game with the gameplay mechanics of the 2nd, so I am tempted.

Wait... you think Fallout 3 isn't an RPG? With its character development, gameplay suited any any play style, open world exploration, and leveling such that two maxed out characters can be wildly different?

...really?

Ultima, in wkc your character doesn't play a role in the story *at all*. You are quite literary a bystander. Still, is it a rpg? Yes of course it is. It's one of the most RPGish RPGs I've played on the ps3 so far!

Poppycock was on a season of America's Got Talent.

As for WKC, $10 says your avatar becomes a more active part of the story, or at least a more active part of the party.

Dragon Quest games are the same. The main character (you) never has any dialogue. But is the "hero" as the story unfolds around the characters around them.

I'm not actually making a point about anything. Just adding to the conversation. :)

Damn them rpgs, messing up the fps genre. A FPS *have* to have a weapon wheel or they are not real FPS!

WKC has an online mode doesnt it? So do you control you online created character through the story or this Leonard chap? If it is the 1st...well then the game is just flawed.

I think one of the main feats of an RPG which many forget is the sense of an adventure, RPG's story should revolve around a quest, to which a party of character will build up as you meet them on the way, each with their own motive. This is what many of these false RPG's lack.

In both WKC1 and 2 your created character is just a bystander in the single player campaign.. he isnt the main character nor is he even referenced to in the story AT ALL.. however he is the person you play with online (in online the game consist of your created avatar with other players created avatar.. the single player story characters arent used at all online).. however there are free DLC quests (in japan at least who knows when EU/Us will get them) where theres a new storyline that takes place after the ending of part 2 where your created character IS the main character and actually gets referred too and talked too/acknowledged in cutscenes... so he becomes the main character eventually.. just not in the single player campaign of part 1 or 2.

Ultima, Not getting into the RPG debte; tis simply not my place but to call Dead Island an FPS is folly. The focus is on melee combat and survival, so if by the S of FPS you mean survival or slasher, then I'll agree, but you've lumped it with Bioshock and Borderlands, which is just wrong. Dead Island is not an RPG, but it has strong RPG elements. The best I can say is that it is an incredibly deep action game.

I even used to have a theme song called "Underdog" by a band called Audio Adrenaline. Was a motivator in high school for me for sports and things. It was a cool song once... now it's sort of dated.

I don't know about most of you but I think alot of these RPG imitating games would either be mediocre or just plain suck if they had their RPG elements 'turned off' by some sort of update. I know Borderlands won't be keeping my attention for long if the did away with the progression, side quests, exploration and ditched the energy shields for taking cover till your health replenishes. How many other games do you think would suffer if that were to happen? That will never happen but if it makes it easier just think about these games not shipping with these enhancements. How jaded will players be if everything stayed confined to whatever definition any genre falls under? Theres alot of games that certainly can stand on their own like Uncharted, that will never need RPG elements. If we cram it with RPG stuffs, keep the third person shooting and set the story in space, will I love it as much as Uncharted or any RPG I've played? NO, I hated Mass Effect yet Fallout was great in my book (trying to prove a point, not trying to say Uncharted and ME are the same). In a traditional 'full blooded' RPG you have no business hiding behind cover, unless we are taking about a reflect spell, and any shooting is done turn based.How many of these games would get over shadowed by more popular ones if its got little or nothing setting it apart from the herd? How many lost jobs/future games would that be? I see alot of people talking about the qualities RPGs had when they were at the top,its genre truly has timeless appeal if you get into the battle systems. Do we really need HD graphics for these games though, maybe just square to do the cut-scenes. I remember playing FF8, the part where your swinging by a cord trying to to knock someone else off it while a riot of sorts went on in the background and thinking 'Holy **** this is awesome'. These games do hold a special place in my heart but I also think other genres need to adapt and change to remain entertaining/relevant.

I'm not too sure whether the execution will be up to par with it's concept, however the request of my friend to 4 player co-op along with out regular group of 4 leaves me with little choice but grab a copy. We'll see how it pans out.

The idea of RPG has been put into a solid stereotype, adopting and adapting from a name that technically covers all genres of gaming [ you role play as a character in every type of game]. So tbh, whatever we all percieve as an 'RPG' now should get a name change, because everyone seems to have their own variable idea of what an "RPG" is.

its nice to see limb decapitation, something im really pissed about NG3 removing!
i wish more games would use the damage system from soldier of fortune payback.
it was so cool blowing a enemies arm, head, legs, or torso off.
so funny shooting a enemy in the leg then having him fall on the ground and crawl towards you as you blow his head off!

Man the Q&A can t come soon enough .

Man , the first Soldier Of Fortune was so great for this .The second one was even better since you could even see you re bullets at the exact place where you shot the guy .

Can t believe there are so many games without this kind of details .Could say the same about not enough game using the way the enemies react to getting shot to difference place like in RE 4-5 .

Beside the damage showing is that game any good THE GUY ABOVE ME .

no not really.
give it a try if you want since its quite old so it will be really cheap, but its not exactly the best shooter out there.
it does have awesome head shots though!

I prefer the classic turn based, helicopter camera view (like classic Zelda and Killzone: Liberations camera view).
