The first trailer for the first Dead Island game got a whole lot of attention. It ran backwards in slow motion and showed the destruction of a family in the midst of a zombie outbreak. It was pretty heady stuff, but had little to do with the tone of the game, which was a first-person zombie smash-'em-up. Fun yes, but hardly a tearjerker.

Now that Dead Island: Riptide is coming out, we get another such trailer. This one has a couple out on a boat (I'm not taking that bait), having in fun, in love, and all that jazz. They apparently get caught up in the monsoon going on in the game (the "Riptide" part of the game) and end up on an island with, you guessed it, zombies. Things don't go so well for them.

We still don't have a date for Dead Island: Riptide beyond next year sometime. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think!
