*You can retract and revote in the poll, incase your opinion changes or you purchase the game!
Okay, so I was wondering if anyone on the board is getting Techland's (They developed the lame Call of Juarez series) "Dead Island" upon it's release on September 6th (US) and 9th (PAL)!? The reason I ask is because I will be getting the game on two platforms. Steam, and Xbox 360 and want some buddies. But wait; let's make this crap interesting. Let's make it a community play-date! The game allows for online co-op (No split screen, which is gay, but whatever.), allowing you to carry over your selected saved charecter save and play with up to three more people! The system does have some drawbacks in that you cannot co-op with any levels higher/lower than you, but I was thinking we could all have a co-op specific save to play with. I also have no idea if there can be multiple people playing as one of the four playable charecters (pretty sure you can, though). I just wanna know who's getting the game, and who'd be interested in some play sessions. Obviously the school year for many of us is just starting, and not all of us will have a lot of time to play, but, this is a long game and we don't have to rush it. We can savor the fun of playing with buddies! At this time, I have no idea if Recon or Cabinet will be purchasing (Cabinet is, but not on day one, he presumes.) day one, but I will be. If we have some people who'd like to, we can all form little parties and go on our Zombie slaying journey's together. I love the idea of us getting together on LIVE and having these play dates (in any game, really) ever since we've started the Minecraft server, and I believe that hacking and slashing zombies is a great way to kick it off. So, post, lemme know if you're getting the game, and if you're interested in a co-op night or meet ups. Let's figure this out. It doesn't have to really be Dead Island, but it'd be a fun way to start with it's large environment, hundreds of zombies, quests and items.

i would probabbly eventually buy this game as i do, like many people, enjoy a zombie shooter game. i also like the idea of doing it in other games. if it is fine with other people we could possibly make another thread for this. like a list with games the forums has co op plays on.
we could even have its own board for it and draft everything into sub boards even if proboards can do that.

Im definetly getting this but no on release date, i'll wait a week or two after so the price drops.
I hate spending £40 on a game to see that price half in a short amount of time.
And even though i think it looks great, a lot of reviews and such have said it isn't going to do well, meaning the price probably will drop in no time.

If you are going to say something like this you should back it up with some sources that back you up. It adds more to the conversation. Hahano. First we have enough video game boards. Minecraft was a stretch. The only reason it got it's on forum was because of the server. I think that was the main point of the thread. This thread will just sort all the kinks out and maybe a week later we will have the proper thread up and running. I think it's a great idea. I'll be a good way of getting people to play videogames. It's so hard to get them to do it otherwise. Seriously though I think it's a good idea.I will be now. I thought it over a bit, looked at some game footage and made up my mind. It'll be fun. If only you could customise your character like Dead Rising...

To add more to the topic that isn't mod stuff. I'd really like to see this get some momentum. There are a load of games that are great for co-op or just general multiplayer that I never played because either none of my friends had the game or because it was so awkward to get playing with them because of conflicting timetables and whatnot.
What I'm trying to say is I need people to play videogames with me. Play videogames with me.
