I'm guessing it means no forced sections where you have to survive wave after wave of zombies...

I'm hoping it means that every encounter will be fight or flight. A real zombie survival game where every scripted encounter feels like you need to make tough decisions with real consequences.

If you really think about it the last thing you would want to do is fight a zombie in a zombie outbreak because you could end up getting overwhelmed and rushed. The idea would be to avoid fighting them as much as possible, after all it would only take one bit or scratch to turn you. I am really excited by this idea, at the very least it will mean they will avoid situations that happened in Dead Island 1 and 2 where you was constantly dying to insanely overpowered zombies.

Definitely killing them myself but I do like games such as State of Decay where stealth is a critical part of the game. This excites me because it shows a lot of thought about the design, and also a willingness to utilize zombies in more than just a cannon fodder role.

Plus as fun as it is to slaughter hordes endlessly like Dead Rising I think it dilutes the whole idea of an endless horde. I mean would you really bother even firing a pistol with 20 rounds into a horde that's well over a few thousand strong, or would you just leg it?

Looks interesting, but Dead Island wasn't very good.
