Oh well if you get it and become infected may God help you if I'm around. Maybe its me but our society needs to HTFU. Pretty sweet trailer although I'm still waiting for something to top L4D2. Will have to wait for gameplay to see.

Yes, it seems children and animals are often left out of video games with disturbing content. It's the next line to be crossed I guess. There's no way that I would support any game that partakes in the killing of kids. I don't have the stomach for that kind of thing.

Awesome. Definitely caught me off guard with the kid-- but it's computer animation. It's a good thing old folks like me know how to separate reality from computer animation, and art from crap. The zombie girl in the TV show the Walking Dead was considerably more shocking, as was the "hit girl" in Kick Ass. (Or the new Rambo. . .)

Like I said before whats next? A molestation cut scene? I mean really. When do we say its enough? I guess we can thank the "Speak no Russian" level in CoD for these baby steps to hell we are taking in video games now. I swear this industry is in self destruct mode.

If there was a game where I could kill "children" I so would, I'd bust into play grounds and chellenge them to extreme conkers, loosers eat my fists! ( nothing more satisfying then switching off kid protection in FO3 and beating the crap out the annoying kids in the cave)

I've always been taught that games, films, and books are just that.
And if something in game/film/book does upset me I simply don't read/play/watch.

I wouldn't complain that the thing that was upsetting me was in the game.

@ Mailman, if a game developer showed more than what was needed for you to know that it's a molestation seen then they are obviously doing it for shock value.

Some of the most terrifying moments in media have been where the terrible thing is only implied or hinted at.

So it would be stupid for them to do it in many ways. (they would loose customers, they would be declared sick fucks by everyone)
Also pro tip, slippery slope arguments make no sense.

What next you argue that they'll make a game entirely composed around molesatation of dead bodies.



Looses validity very quickly : ]


To show children in violent situations I feel is taking a step forward, only need to look at certain areas in Africa where people kidnap children to turn them into soldiers to see that children are just as exposed to violence as we are. ( and thus can find themselfs in terrible situations)

In games like this how ever the inclusion of living children will give me an objective, something to save/protect/lead to safety. Could make a good game mechanic. ( assuming they're not annoying game kids, if they are, POW!)



( I really need to learn to structure things)

I guess we should ban Hansel and Gretal then because the Witch cooks little children.

Stephen King has build most of his reputation around children in horrific situations and the guy has three kids. Movies and books use families in these situations to create emotion in the viewer cause they know we all come from families and they want us to think that it could be us.

Stories are stories nothing more.

LOL, We are getting way of topic now. We don't even know if the family shown in the trailer has anything to do with the story.

Yeah, i wish they could kill kids in video games, it would be very much realistic, and would add depth to in-game morality.

One reason I loved Fallout 1 and 2 lol. You can kill children XD. There was this one scenario where there were children playing with toy guns, and I gave one kid a real gun. Next time I went back to that place, the children were all dead lol.

If you need to see a child dieing to know zombies are bad then maybe video games are not meant for you.

Blah blah zombie kids, blah blah blah - look at this, the producer of Wolfman and the Mummy has scored the rights to making a flick of Dead Island.

We already get Zombie Kids and zombie babies in movies. I'm pretty sure they must get killed to.

So those that can't stomach it don't get it, but leave the rated M games for the Mature Audience.

If you can't tell the difference between a game/cgi, perhaps video games aren't for you.

I think most of us in here know that what we see in movies and games etc isn't representative of real life. Sorry but it's people like you mailman that feed all the censorship assholes who think they have the right to tell us what we can and can't watch in our own homes. As long as it's legal by the letter of the law I will watch what the hell I want if I so choose to do so and most of the time I do.

And if you choose to blindly swallow all the BS fed to you by the media and censor nazi's then you won't mind at all when all your watching on the TV are reruns of the brady bunch and the internet is nothing more than an 500 page intranet that is controlled and sensored to shit.

Btw, please don't mistake the tone of my rant for me being agressive or a dick, I'm really not, though it could be construed that way.
