Dead Island + Mirrors Edge = Dying Light?
Dying Light is another zombie genre game brought to you by Techland and Warner Bros Games. It is set to be a first-person action survival horror open world game.
During the day light period players will have a chance to salvage from the surrounding land for supplies and weapons to defend against the impending zombie invasion of a night where the zombies will become increasingly aggressive and more dangerous. It is set to include the following features:
Survive the Night - During the day, players roam free and scavenge for supplies and weapons. But at night, the world undergoes a deadly transformation: the hunter becomes the hunted as the infected grow more aggressive and numerous, and something far more sinister awakens to stalk its prey.
Free Running Movement - Whether tracking prey or escaping predators, Dying Light lets players swiftly navigate the world by seamlessly leaping between buildings, grappling up walls and pouncing on unsuspecting enemies.
Open World Environments - Dying Light is set in a vast open world, delivering expansive and varied environments, a wide variety of enemy classes and a hopeless tale of survival where resources are scarce and the infected are not the only threat.
Brutal Melee and Ranged Combat - get up-close using a variety of light and heavy weapons including knives, bats, axes, sledgehammers and more exotic weaponry or utilize guns and other firepower to take down enemies from a distance.
Choose Your Play Style - Dying Light features four playable characters that can be fully customized and upgraded to match any play style.
Craft Your Weapon - Why use a wrench when you can use a wrench wrapped in electrified barbed wire? Dying Light's sizeable crafting system enables players to create a slew of new, more potent weapons and equipment, as well as specialized ammunition.
Breathtaking Visuals and Gameplay - Dying Light is the first game powered by Chrome Engine 6, a cutting edge incarnation of Techland's proprietary technology, designed from the ground up for the new console generation, DirectX 11 and other advanced solutions.
Is this just another version of Dead Island mixed with the jumping off walls and spliting your trousers of Mirrors Edge? It seems currently that people can't get enough of zombie games and I feel exactly the same as they have everything you could ever want. Guns and Gore, lots of it too! But nothing new seems to be occurring does it? Apart from Naughty Dog doing an amazing job with 'The Last Of Us' and Undead Labs releasing 'State of Decay' with aspirations to create something special in the coming years every other zombie game seems quite repetitive.... Check out the short clip trailer and let us know what you think!
It is set to be released around March 31st 2014 on all platforms both current, next gen and PC. We'll keep you updated!
