Meh I when I saw both being played I lost all hopes. Silent Hill will never be as good as the the first ones, and Dead Island didn't look appealing to me at all. People are gonne hate for that but the gameplay looks terrible maybe because I haven't seen enough of it but it looks bad. Play Amnesia on PC if you haven't yet, pretty much the scariest game ever made :P

I have high hopes for Silent Hill, but I don't think Dead Island will be very scary. However I am still interested in the game.

I was actually planning on getting Amnesia soon. :D

But what makes dead island special to me is... its not a complete shooter, it had zombies, and has RPG elements. that makes me happy :)

Dead Island is not really a horror type game. It is a very fast paced game. It looks fun, just don't expect it to be that full of horror. Silent Hill would fall into this category though. If you want a game that will unsettle you, pick up Condemned. It is a launch title, but its still very good and the atmosphere is very creepy.

From the video's I've seen, Dead Island is not a very fast paced game, it's an open world zombie survival game with very few guns and a lot of melee combat and a stamina meter so you can just run like a mad man swinging wildly.

and yea, like someone else said, Silent Hill just isnt the same, after Silent Hill 3 it's went downhhill

Yeah I found all the Dead Rising games to be missed opportunities, but Dead Island looks good. Its on the PC, but you should try Dead Frontier. Played it yesterday and its like a mix of Diablo and Left4Dead sorta. I've never actually played any Silent Hill games.

lol i wouldn't get my hopes up. Dead island is clearly not targeting horror but action and silent hill well the last one just wasn't very good. It over focused on combat (copying RE) and had a crappy story. I really wish i could say that the next SH will deliver but i cant. Chances are high that it will be mediocre at best.

I'm disappointed in Dead Island, when they first started talking about it, I thought it was the zombie game I have been waiting forever for. Especially when they showed that first trailer, then I started to see Electric Machete's and things like that and I realized it was just another Dead Rising kind of deal, which looks to take itself a little more seriously than DR. Didn't see enough Silent Hill to make a call, the demo was really short and didn't show much.

Looking forward to Silent Hill only. I like the series and will be picking up the most recent one when it comes out.

I'm really hoping that this Silent Hill is good...but considering that Konami won't let just one developer work on this series, I don't have much hope for it any more. :( As for Dead Island, I don't feel like I've seen enough of this game to have an opinion on it yet. Hopefully both of these games will be good and renew interest in the genre.

I'll definitely be waiting a couple of weeks after dead island drops to see the reviews and to buy it at a lower price.

Ya, it's pretty unfair getting a trailer like that and then getting gameplay like this. Not saying it will be bad, just saying that the trailer and gameplay are complete polar opposites.

i know what yous mean, the first trailer of dead island looked amazing and like someone said before, i thought it was a zombie game that i have been waiting for. but then seeing the gameplay, im still excited but just not a much. i love zombie games though so i cant pass it up.
