Deep Silver Reveal Dead Island Social Networking App
http://electronictheatre.co.uk/index.php/articles/8879-deep-silver-reveal-dead-island-social-networking-app George Larch, Deep Silver's International Marketing Director said: "Learning more about our fans is hugely important as it means we can deliver the games and downloadable content they really want. We've chosen Neoco as a partner because of their extensive video game experience and because of their ability to quickly plug-in Facebook apps and build strategies around them."
PREVIEW: Hands-on with Dead Island!
http://www.examiner.com/video-game-industry-in-san-francisco/preview-hands-on-with-dead-island Combat is obviously a big part of the game, but exploration also warrants your attention. Here you'll unlock the secrets behind characters, earn money to beef up your stats, find weapons and unravel the mystery behind Royal Palms Resort's infestation. The island is incredibly huge, which encourages your investigation. Taking on side missions only takes you deeper down the rabbit hole; it also allows for more player progression, which we gamers are completely ok with.

The game burst into the public eye with Techland's first cinematic trailer, depicting the last moment of a doomed holidaying family. The trailer is surprisingly effective and tugs firmly on your heartstrings. It's easy to get excited about a cinematic trailer, but it showed no gameplay. While the trailer makes the game seem more terrifying than it plays, the concept it introduced was horror in the sun and a zombie outbreak approached in an adult way. Which the game, so far, delivers.

It's no secret I'm a ferocious fan of the shambling undead. Something about the breakdown of society and the new zombie world order appeals to me. Is that so wrong? (probably) On that note, I was recently invited down to Melbourne for the chance to preview the first hour of Techland's Dead Island. Hosted by Mana Bar Melbourne, the infectiously fun gaming/bar mash-up, our press event was followed by a community tiki-themed zombie bash. Because the undead love a good party.

http://www.digitalspy.com/gaming/news/a332576/dead-island-preview.html
Dead Island's opening cinematic is nothing at all like the emotional teaser trailer released earlier this year. Set in a noisy nightclub populated with holidaygoers enjoying themselves, its story begins with those on the paradise island mostly unaware of the zombie apocalypse unfolding around them.It sees an intoxicated, first-person viewpoint bouncing around the venue, bumping into each of the four playable cast members - from a washed-up rap star performing to the crowd to a receptionist tending to a suspiciously unwell woman lying on the floor of the female toilets - before raucously pushing past friendly hotel attendants and passing out in a room.

Deep Silver's Dead Island takes over PlayStation®Home
http://terminalgamer.com/2011/07/25/deep-silver’s-dead-island-takes-over-playstation-home/
Set in an open world tropical island, hordes of different festering zombies await players around every corner while they embark on a variety of thrilling missions through the holiday resort.With firearms and ammunition being scarce the player must rely on discovering and utilizing items as weapons for self-defense and fighting off zombie hordes in intense melee combat. A diverse range of items can be collected and will later serve to transform the player's ordinary makeshift weapons into serious instruments of destruction.

Is Dead Island The Next Great Zombie Game?
http://www.gamepro.com/article/previews/221494/is-dead-island-the-next-great-zombie-game/ Dead Island has the potential to be the next great zombie video game. And I don't throw that praise out lightly. Much like how vampire-themed fiction bloats the film world, there's no shortage of video games featuring the undead. What makes Dead Island different and exciting, however, is that developer Deep Silver is bringing players to a world overrun by flesh-eaters in a way we haven't really seen before.

http://www.strategyinformer.com/xbox360/deadisland/612/preview.html
There's plenty left that we haven't explored - the skill tree system for example, and properly getting into the various 'classes' and who can handle what kind of weapons. The interface isn't very good at feedback in that instance, and there's a lot of weapon stats thrown at you. RPG-veterans shouldn't have a problem adapting to this, but more casual players may be put off. Hopefully they'll be plenty of information available in some form to help the player out.

Dead Island Coming To Playstation Home
http://www.ztgd.com/news/11431/dead-island-coming-to-playstation-home/ Just before the games launch in September terrifying zombies will lurk in the once peaceful Central Plaza and soon enough it will come to resemble the Royal Palms Resort on the tropical island of Banoi, with palm trees and beautiful tropical vegetation, a gorgeous beach and stunning view of the ocean, bringing the unique Banoi feeling to PlayStation Home visitors.

We've only had limited exposure to the whole quest hub aspect of the game- our test quest wasn't the most inspiring thing ever though - We had to wade through hordes of zombies just to stick up some posters, but what can you do. The hub-system is what sets it apart though from the competition, so hopefully the rest of the game will be more interesting. It's worth noting that it's not completely open-world in the sense that the whole island is open at once, but the local area you're in at the time will be completely open to you.

Dead Island roundtable scares up some details
http://www.gamingnexus.com/FullNews/Dead-Island-roundtable-scares-up-some-details/Item23471.aspx At this time, a pre-release demo is unlikely as development is in its final phases. The possibility of a demo being made available either on launch day or soon afterwards does exist.
Dead Island Preview (Xbox360)
http://www.strategyinformer.com/xbox360/deadisland/612/preview.html
Like most things, Dead Island is a lot more fun in a team. And in our latest play-test we put the four-player co-op side of the game through its paces. There's a hidden strategy to walking around in a group ,as each playable character has a certain function. Xian Mei, for example, is an 'assassin' class. whereas Sam B is a tank.Zombies are more likely to go straight for Sam than Xian, so it's a matter of using these known behaviours to your advantage. Still, the different classes have slightly less meaning in single-player as there's no group that follows you around. It's just you and so a lot of the strategy of taking on the undead denizens is lost.

Dead Island's Infestation Spreads to PlayStation Home
http://kotaku.com/5824422/dead-islands-infestation-spreads-to-playstation-home/gallery/
PlayStation 3 owners will start feeling the effects of the Dead Island infection shortly before the game launches on September 6 in North America, September 9 in Europe. It'll all start with a few zombies shambling through the Home Square. Apparently those zombies will be landscapers and building contractors, because soon enough visitors will find themselves wandering about a recreation of the island of Banoi's Royal Palms Resort.

Finally, we asked Kummer about the replay ability of Dead Island. There will be a New Game super hard mode when you beat the game, if you are looking for a little more punishment. Kummer also pointed out that when you beat the game, you may want to try out a new class and that the zombies are randomly generated according to the situation and zone you are in. This fact alone greatly increases the replayability of Dead Island both playing alone and with friends.

Dead Island roundtable scares up some details

Character interactions won't affect the overall ending of the game, but they certainly add to the overall story. One particular situation has a man pleading with you to kill his wife, who has been turned. This seems to be a moral dilemma, but is only one of many kinds of interactions to be expected during the course of the game.

Hands on with "Dead Island"

While playing with strangers is not the ideal environment for teamwork, my compatriots and I did a decent job progressing through the zombie horde.Actually, it was like joining a room of randoms online. You need to help one another by reviving each other when downed, but based on my demo it was hard to tell if Dead Island will require the same amount of teamwork as the Left 4 Dead series.

Dead Island roundtable scares up some details

Dead Island Roundtable Interview
http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q3-2011/071511b.html
Another topic that was heavily touched on in the roundtable was the game's story, theme, and setting. Earlier this year, Deep Silver released an emotional CG trailer that set the internet ablaze. The trailer depicted a perfect family being destroyed on an idyllic island resort by a hoard of zombies. When asked if the game could ever match the trailer, Kummer made it clear that the trailer is representative of the main story's tone and the prevailing theme on the island itself. The four main characters in the game are the last hope for the people on Banoi island. Throughout the course of the game, you will often be tasked with emotionally charged quests. It could be something as happy as reuniting someone with their only surviving family members or as difficult and sad as being asked to kill an infected loved one to put them out of their misery.A lot of the emotion from the game comes not from you or your party members but the unfortunate people stuck on Banoi island. The island itself will also reflect a theme of beauty and perfection slowly being destroyed. Over the course of the main quest, a powerful storm slowly descends upon the island. The weather turns from clear blue skies to dark gray rain clouds and violent winds. This should prove to be a rather gloomy yet engaging experience.
