The somewhat controversial, heavily emotional "Family" trailer for Dead Island caused a great deal of reaction and discussion when the video was released, but according to Deep Silver executive producer Guido Eickmeyer, it ultimately did not help the game garner 4M sales across three platforms.
Instead, he states, it was the co-op gameplay.
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.
Never touched the co-op....sure it did help but certainly was not the main selling factor. Plenty of games with cleaner releases for the MP/Coop crowd.
no the trailer got people into getting the game but you've done goof on it.
I never actually touched co-op in this one. Still loved the game. If I could make the request that you leave in the duplicating items glitch, personally i loved the game a lot more after i could duplicate a weapon i really loved! For me it was the electric machete!
No. The trailer made me want the game. Co-op kept me playing it even though it was the buggiest game I've ever played in my life. There is no way in hell I'd even consider buying the GotY edition. The fact that anyone named Dead Island GotY is a huge joke to me.
I tried to connect to coop but it never worked for me but it wasnt the reason i bought the game.
