Dead Island Riptide Special Zombies

[rrobb911]

"The island of Palanai is crawling with new zombie mutations" What kind of mutations?!

I hope they keep the Thugs, Rams, and Suiciders. Floaters I could do without. I can't really think of special zombies they would add without thinking of L4D ones (Tank, Jockey, Hunter). I'm gonna bet they have some that are a bit faster than Walkers, but slower than the Infected (like Joggers).

Apparently grenade throwing zombies are a new one and maybe "fish-like zombies"

I can't help but not see the novelty in grenade throwing zombies if they'd already throw slicers and planks in the first game. Wouldn't the Suiciders already cover something like this and mines?

I've also been thinking if you take out the Floaters, replace the flammable Walkers with a new special 'liquid' zombie you can only torch. Or some plant zombie like the vine monsters in Resident Evil.

Please, no. I'm gonna be pissed of those kind of zombies are in this game.

Grenade zombies do seem like a big novelty, unless they have freshly infected humans who have the mental capacity left to understand grenades.

Nah they just wanna get at generic Walkers with weapons like some of the zombies in HOTD running around with axes and chainsaws and what-not. Infected with malice to use weapons would be the Crossed Ones and...not sure if that would be bad, now that I think about it!
(and yeah there's Ganado too)

How about the Spider? I saw a remake of Night of the LIving Dead and the zombies where faster and could run on walls and ceilings (of courses they did not call them Spider Zombies in the movie.

Sounds worse then a Butcher or Infected.

Zombie dogs...they were amazing in RE...and I wanna beat one with a homerun bat...make it so!

[Cartel Machete]

Nah instead of dogs, zombie cassowary birds charging at you!

[Slashinthroughthesnow]

Spitters.... lol... zombies that shoot out boiling hot water from their mouth that can damage and blind you for say 5 seconds....

I was thinking the same thing...zombie dogs, they would be a real pain to kill.

I don't like the sound of grenade throwing zombies. I saw somewhere that the zombies will be able to pull you out of the boat (maybe they will be something like the mudmen in L4D2). I wonder if we will be able to swim ( I rather doubt it,the water will probably always be about waist high like in DI, but then, what need for boats?). I wonder if the grenades can sink the boat. If we can import a character from DI, doesn't that mean the game mechanics will be basically the same?
