Anyone picking this game up?
I was a bit suspicious with the lack of a review this close to being released, but I was one of those fools that actually enjoyed Dead Island for what it was worth, so I had few doubts I would enjoy this game and pre-ordered it. The parkour aspects and online mode seem like a blast and I like the potential fear of being caught out in the night time. I'm quite intrigued.

Eh, I'm not interested in it.
I'm absolutely SICK of zombies being everwhere in pop culture these days.
It's like, do something new already.

I can easily relate to your hatred for zombies oversaturating the market these days, they certainly do, but I still have a soft spot for their stories when done right. And I think Dying Light looks like a blast to play, and if I may say so I don't think there's been many true great zombie games in the past besides Left 4 Dead and the Walking Dead games for iPad. I don't know if you can count The Last of Us in that list, because I'm not sure if you could define the enemies they face as zombies. But if they do count, that's the best zombie game every made, bar none. I just thought Dead Island had a lot of potential, but it was missing so many basic fundamentals that it was often a dreary experience. I have some hope that Dying Light may be the game I have finally wanted since I first heard about Dead Island.

It's just that Im really sick of AAA games being made to feature zombies and offshoots of them. I'm not gonna be checking out this game anytime soon, but that doesn't mean anyone else here should.

I picked up the Special Edition off PS Network, and got a few missions into it, and so far, I would say I'm leaning more towards thumbs up then thumbs down. It's too early to tell, but everything works well, the controls are tight, and it looks nice. I can even overlook the, gasp, 30 FPS, that so many people are complaining about.
The game, at the beginning, rewards you for killing and looting zombies, but also makes it so it's difficult to do so by giving you melee fatigue, which I've heard complaints about, but I can live with.
My biggest gripe so far. The voice acting. Oh MAN is it a whole shade of bad! Some characters' voice actors sound enthused, some just don't give the character the range they need, but yeah, the voice acting is pretty bad.
All in all, though, I haven't regretted my purchase, which is more than I can say for Far Cry 4.
EDIT: Oh, and OP, I see your Mark Henry signature, and all I can think is CHOCOLATE DROP!

I've seen broadcast playthrough of some of it on Steam. From watching people play, it seems like Dead Island but with a good story and better mechanics.

The video the Two Best Friends did on it made it look pretty nice. Think sort of like Mirror's Edge if the combat wasn't utter shit and Dead Island that, well, played better. A lot better.

I've seen a few playthroughs and the main character seems like a real tool and the voice acting stinks.

The sound effects in this game are crazy good. Too good.

From what I have seen on youtubers I would wait for a patch or two (as usual).
TB's port report is quite in depth and interesting and contains no spoilers. To sum up, dodgy SLI and framerate problems. Annotations show SLI has largely been fixed.

I have had no frame rate issues at all. And it really has no other "wait for patch" issues for me at all.

I'll hopefully pick it up once it hits the UK. Honestly, the delay's fine by me because it means I can see if it lives up to the hype. I want it to be as good as it looks so bad, but my gut's just saying "Dead Island" with freerunning, and I ain't okay with that.

This game is tons better than Dead Island.

This game is tons better than Dead Island. Wouldn't take much, too be fair. I'm a tad curious how the Dead Island 2 is going to go, especially seeing as this game seems to be getting positive reviews and it may take up any desire people had for a great zombie game in 2015. I've seen nothing about Dead Island except for the trailer, so I wouldn't call myself interested in the game.

It looks a solid game. I'm going to wait for the price to drop, still got the final few missions of Dragon Age to complete yet and the latest PS Plus titles to play.
Once the price drops and I've nothing else to play, Dying Light will be a definite purchase.
