Dead Island is no Heavy Rain

With the very dramatic trailer for Dead Island, many people were quick to judge that it's going to have some Heavy Rain feel to it. This notion was debunked by the producer himself, in a recent interview with CVG.



According to Sebastian Reichart, to be compared to Heavy Rain would be nothing but "awful for us." Before Heavy Rain fans go up in arms, though, hear out what he has to say about it first.

"I mean, let's be honest, we will be an action game - you will have a serious approach to the zombie setting but we will be an action game.



We won't be a dialogue-based game that revolves around emotion. We will have strong elements from examples like Borderlands that will keep you playing. So when we heard the Heavy Rain comparison we were like, 'Whoa!'"



Have you put your pitchforks away yet?



"We've had problems declaring Heavy Rain as a 'game' - it plays like a movie. I've had more complex DVD menus [laughs]." No, I promise, you won't need that pitchfork.



"We are more like a core game with a serious approach. Yes, of course we like it that people compare us with such great games like Heavy Rain, but we also have to face the fact that we are not Heavy Rain. That's just a fact."



Dead Island is expected to arrive sometime this year for both the PS3 and Xbox 360. Anyway, while this interview was awesome, this literal version of the Dead Island announcement trailer is even more fantastic. Enjoy!

i totally get why it would be "awful" for them if they're compared to heavy rain. not because heavy rain is an awful game, but just because they're of different approaches. and i so love that literal translation vid! lesson of the day: don't give piggyback rides to girl zombies.

Who the hell drew a reference to Heavy Rain? What? Because a child died in it?

LOL, I was wondering about that too. I mean, Dead Island is another Dead Rising, simply... There is no links with Heavy Rain. Still, I prefer Heavy Rain over any zombie games, even if I like zombie games, lol. A zombie game is never a quality game, unlike Heavy Rain, a zombie game is, by definition, a zombie game, lol. With tons of zombies, action, and a not so good story to give you a reason to kill zombies. Still, nobody needs a reason to kill zombies, haha.
