By the minds behind Dead Island, Techland releases a teaser to their upcoming game "Hellraid". Dead Island Riptide had just recently released and was panned for being nearly the same game as the first Dead Island with very little improvements. So it's a natural response for those same players to get excited over something that looks so different with the same engine. Hellraid was originally a mod made in Dead Island by someone within Techland and became a legitimate project when it reached the higher ups in the company. Hellraid will feature a first-person perspective, hack-n-slash, Action-horror cooperative experience for up to 4 players with randomly generated content (not sure what that means yet, but I'm hoping it means random events, levels, and items). It will feature 4 classes (Warrior, Paladin, Mage and Rogue) each with their own special abilities much like in Dead Island's character archetypes. The game's level design looks atmospheric and combat looks fast-paced and exciting. Such display in the teaser reminds many gamers of games like Hexen 2, Oblivion, The Dark Messiah. I'm not too sure about the "horror" part of the genre yet, because it reminds me of Painkiller where all the undead enemies just runs towards you which becomes less scary after a while. Still, the screenshots when it was first announced and this little teaser has struck me interested. I'm excited and looking forward to the release of Hellraid. I just hope it doesn't disappoint.
