Preview for Dead Island over at RPS.
Two things I didn't like about the preview. One he concentrated on co-op. Nothing wrong with that, but I'm not interested at all on how it compares to Left 4 Dead.
Second is the writing style. Either I'm really tired (which could be the case since work is hellish right now) or his writing style is confusing.
I mean what the hell:
There's a freaking narritive in GTA: San Andreas too and that game is as open as you can get. Pretty much in the same exact way as well. There are zones that you can't go to until later in the game.
Nevermind. If you enjoy the preview and can figure out what the hell he's talking about then more power to you. As for me I'd rather just watch another gameplay trailer.
Edit: I had to bold the "You are going to make your way through it (the narrative)" Thank you Captain Obvious. I never would have figured that out without your help.

So no, it’s not the “somehow survive as you freely explore an entire island full of zombies” that some had desperately hoped it would be when it was first hinted at. But it’s not fair to look at this as the bits left over when you drop your expectations. It’s by no means purely linear, with multiple quests available at any time, but there is a narrative, and you are going to make your way through it, and seemingly more meaningfully the fewer people there are playing. There are shops, NPCs, intricate customisation options, side-quests, and an awful lot of moving corpses. I’m certainly looking forward to 9th September (6th in the lucky US) to see how it all fits together in one coherent whole.
