"Sam B" Performs Before Quite A Dead Crowd

Another set of screenshots dumped today tell the tale of Sam B, a “one-hit wonder rap star of fading fame”, booked for the ill-fated resort of Dead Island the weekend the apocalypse went down. Decked out in pirate garb, Sam B will be the game’s Tank class, according to an accompanying release from developer Deep Silver.

The rest of the (back)story from the email: Sam B’s hit was “Who do You Voodoo”. He has a history of substance abuse and is trying to put back together a life undone by drugs, bad friends and worse business partners.

The screenshots only show Sam B from the back (and his left arm, in FPS mode); a concept gives you the full frontal, and there’s a nice embiggened desktop if you want to snare that.

    I’ll wait until it comes out before I buy it because it might turn out to be anotehr Homefront. Big on hype and that’s all.

    Zombies are the running variety (first shot). Did we already know this? (Apologies if so)

      I think the trailer dropped the news a while back.
