Watch A Live Action Version Of The Iconic Dead Island Trailer
Deep Silver's Dead Island announcement trailer, which used reversed footage to show a tragic family vacation, is one of the most well-known video game trailers ever released. The video currently has more than 12 million views on YouTube.
Now, Machinima has released a fan-made live action retelling of that trailer. The shot-for-shot remake is still as chilling, frightening and emotional as ever.
Watch the remake below and check out GI's review of Techland's Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
