This has to be one of the best promotional videos ever.
The upcoming survival video game, Dying Light, has just released a short video in anticipation of its release on January 27, 2015. The video, a short film of sorts, clocks in at just over three minutes and is very intense. It’s told through first person point of view, almost as if the player/character/survivor is running around with a GoPro attached to his shirt. He narrowly escapes zombies throughout the entire mini-movie by use of parkour, the skill of crossing great divides and hurdling obstacles with ninja-like stealth. Again, I thought it was so realistic and the suspense was intense and heart-pounding.
If the game is anything like the video, I’m 100% going to purchase a copy. What a genius marketing device! Find the video below!
“Dying Light is an action survival game presented in first-person perspective. The game is set in a vast and dangerous open world. During the day, you roam an urban environment devastated by a mysterious epidemic, scavenging for supplies and crafting weapons to help you defeat the hordes of mindless, flesh-hungry enemies the plague has created. At night, the hunter becomes the prey as the infected grow in strength and aggression – but even more lethal are the nocturnal, inhuman predators that leave their nests to feed. You will need to make use of all your skills and any available means to survive till dawn.”
Dying Light will be released on PlayStation 4, Stream, and Xbox One on 01/27/15. To pre-order your copy of the game and for all other information please visit: the game’s official website. Must be 18 or older to enter.
