Tired of Dead Island teaser trailers? Deep Silver Brand Manager Vincent Kummer gave GameTrailers a look at over 10 minutes of Dead Island gameplay, including some of Dead Island's RPG elements.

The combat is reminiscent of The Elder Scrolls, with sweeping melee attacks delivered from a first-person camera (complete with grunts and yells), while the customized weaponry looks particularly interesting -- a little Bioshock or Dead Rising-esque.

According to Kummer, Dead Island will offer limited gunplay with a focus on close-range melee. What excites me is that Dead Island seems to be going for a more realistic zombie experience, which is exactly the kind of game the genre has been waiting for. Dead Island ships in August for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
