[E3 2014] ‘Dying Light’ Isn’t About Zombies, It’s About Movement
Since its reveal last June, Techland’s open-world zombie survival game Dying Light has often been compared to the developer’s previous game, Dead Island. The comparison is an easy one to make, seeing as they each share very similar themes — a post-apocalyptic setting, big open-world, weapon crafting, zombies, etc. — but that’s not how Techland sees it.
Destructoid had the chance to briefly chat with Dying Light producer Tymon Smektala about their next game. According to Smektala, Dying Light is less about the ravenous undead and more about movement. This is a reference to the game’s freerunning system, which is arguably the feature that most sets it apart from Techland’s previous work.
Techland has nothing to do with the Dead Island sequel that was announced on Monday. This was purposeful, as the game the studio wanted to make wasn’t the right fit for the series.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
