Dead Rising...I mean Dead Island

Don't you all love it when the market gets flooded with a certain type of game. What's the topic this time? Zombies! Yes with all the news surrounding the upcoming Dead Island I thought I would flush out my thoughts about this game. Now I do love zombies and I don't necessarily mind if the market is flooded with zombie games as long as they are GOOD. I really do like the L4D series and both the Dead Risings but bringing a new IP to the market will be interesting. And I cannot emphasize enough that this game will have to be GOOD. And no I do not just want a copy of Dead Rising which is what I am seeing this game turn into. Being trapped in a mall...I mean in Vegas...oh I mean on an island, yeah an island. This could have been the plot line for DR3! Now I am not trying to bring down Dead Island but I am just trying to warn Techland that I do not want a copy. I do not even want a mix between Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising. I want something new that will be fresh to play.
I have read a lot of articles that also have skepticism in Dead Island (and again I'm not making a final verdict until the sucker comes out) but I recently read an article praising Dead Island for having the following five aspects: open world, focus on melee combat, customizable weapons, an actual story, and some RPG mechanics. Seriously?! If I am not mistaken this is an exact definition of Dead Rising 2. I really am hoping that this turns out to be a good game but don't just try to hop onto the zombie train and cut yourself some profits. Innovate and make an original game...with zombies of course.
