So I’ve finally got my hands on Dead Island. I would be lying if I said that the awesome trailer back at the start of the year didn’t get me salivating for Deep Silver’s island bound zombie-fest, however whilst unboxing the game I couldn’t help but question whether it could live up to the hype.
We might be in the age of remasters, but it doesn't look like the Dead Island 2 devs believe remaking the original game is the right move for the series.
but remakes require far less effort for these companies and they can still charge $70 for them!
Feel like everyone makes fun of Skyrim re-releasing like 18 times yet applaud these remasters elsewhere. Would much prefer NEW games
Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!

It’s the music. It’s perfect. I agree with this for sure, it is well choreographed….unfortunately the game didn’t live up to the trailer.
Have you ever seen any of the MGS 3 or MGS 4 trailers? Those blow this out of the water for me.

Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."
The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago
Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.
People complain about the over-saturated zombie game market, but I can't get enough of them.
I really wanted a zombie game which had a strong storytelling aspect driving the character forward. Probably just because that trailer didn't pertain to be true is why I won't give Dead Island a play.
Everything about Dead Island looks sub-par at best. Excuse me while I sit in the corner and wait for Gears of War 3.
The Schlaps has spoken.
This is a one of a game kind, for a zombie game anyway.
Mash up Fallout 3, Borderlands, Dead Rising 2, and Left 4 Dead, and you have this beauty ;D
Have to say though, I took a miss on all previous zombie games because of the hacking and slashing aspect. However a huge open world RPG zombie game? Too good to be true.
Day one buy here. Great review ButtonCombo, I agree with a lot of your thoughts on this one. The DI trailer was simply one of the most impressive game trailers ever created IMO.
I do wish they could have spun the game as you were saying more towards the direction of what the trailer proposed but regardless, it still has a lot to offer and shouldn't be missed! This should definitely hold me off till Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, is released =)
