Dead Island Gory Game Trailer Forward & Reversed At Slow Speed & Regular Speed.

Admittedly I'm up to my severed neck in Zombies, but this trailer [which has an opening shot of the eye of a dead female reminiscent of Hitchcock's Pyscho scene, ] for the upcoming gruesome video game Dead Island has been getting a lot of buzz lately, and deservedly so. Purposely shot backwards and accompanied by a beautiful piece of music, the cgi rendered trailer has been controversial for its blood and gore, but it's so compelling, one has to commend it for its production quality and undeniable appeal.



The trailer, released on youtube last week has already garnered almost 2 million views and has spawned a recut of the original by various people. Below it is shown in reverse- which would be forwards, with the music reversed on the same slow speed.



And Geekologie has shown it re-cut at normal speed with another piece of music ["Breathe Me" by Sia] by Aaron R. and Jon B. of Harcos Labs:



The game combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and customization of a vast array of weapons. All of these gameplay features are presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty and engrossing campaign that can be played with up to 4 players in co-op mode.

Here are some stills from the not yet released game which takes place on the fictional resort paradise, Banoi Island:








The game is due out later this year.

You can see the original trailer as an mp4 at the official site, nice and huge here.

Brass Monki is a talented 22 year old artist named Daniel Reese who hails from Merseyside [near Liverpool] in the UK. In 2009 he began using software to place pop culture imagery and icons from video games, movies, art, comic books, logos and other popular brands upon footwear.



The response was so positive, he began to actually hand paint one-off pairs of leather Nikes and sell them online. His eye for composition and color makes his creations very desirable as wearable art. Below are his designs, several of which are available for purchase.

New Call Of Duty: Black Ops Commercial Makes Even Peace Lovers Want To Shoot Someone.

The latest 60 second spot (shown after the stills in this post) for Activision's soon to be released Call of Duty: Black Ops video game, conceived of by TBWA Chiat Day and directed by Rupert Sanders, makes even me want to pick up a gun - or at least a game controller - and I'm about as far as one gets from a war monger.



Despite your stance on war or video games, one cannot deny the visceral appeal of this commercial. Set to the Rolling Stone's Vietnam-era classic Gimme Shelter, the gamers (a variety which includes, amongst many, a medical technician, a scientist, an electronics store clerk, a hotel concierge, a businessman, Kobe Bryant, Jimmy Kimmel and not one, but three women - even a Birkenstock wearing Granola) find themselves so immersed in the experience, they appear engaged in real life combat. To present a video game as so life-like that the players appear in the virtual world may not be a new concept or idea, but in this case, it is beautifully executed.








The everyday folk - and avid gamer celebs Kobe Bryant and Jimmy Kimmel who make appearances in the spot - are adeptly brandishing weapons while donning their civilian garb (love the Chanel shoulder bag), amongst the thunder of helicopters and flying shrapnel.



above: Video game fans Jimmy Kimmel and Kobe Bryant make appearances in the spot.

There's only one word of dialogue uttered in the whole script... when the hotel concierge, Vic, stops to answer his phone and identify himself while in the midst of combat.



And the final shot of a fast food cook with guns a-blazin' is the Creme de la Combat.



God damn, they were right when they said "There's A Soldier In All Of Us" and I didn't even know it. Now where's my Bazooka?

There’s a Soldier in All of Us (:60)
