IM PLAYIN discusses the ten minute demos for Dead Island 2 and Dying Light and takes a look at which game is shaping up to be the better open-world zombie title.
"Since I got to play both games at this year’s event, I’ve decided to set them off against each other (well, just their ten minute gameplay demos, anyway). Obviously, it’s not going to be wholly accurate, comparing two games from just ten minutes of game time, as there’s a lot of both games that I wouldn’t have seen. Still, both gameplay demos were incredibly similar in style. Both had a small objective to complete but, in essence, all they wanted you to do was to explore the world a little and smash the shit out of some zombies. So here’s what I thought after ten minutes with each game."
It has been more than ten years since Dying Light was released, but what happened to the $386,000 'My Apocalypse Edition' of the game?
For one lucky person willing to spend $386,000, the My Apocalypse Edition of Dying Light promised a staggering collection. It included the buyer’s face in the game, a human-sized ‘Volatile’ statue, and parkour lessons with a freerunning team. It also came with night vision goggles, an all-expenses paid round trip to Techland’s offices, and four signed copies of the game. Oh, and it also came with a custom-built, ‘zombie-proof’ survival shelter.
LOL but it was a stunt from the team:
‘It was a PR stunt and got a lot of media attention for its wild and over-the-top nature, it was designed to generate buzz around the game’s release. It did a great job of getting the game noticed, though! But nobody purchased it – thankfully, I guess!’
Techland is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dying Light with updates and events for both games. The new The Beast game comes out soon.
It got a lot of shit from fans more not being as scary at night on release. I was in that boat. But once I gave it a fair shot I really loved it. The movement was so much more expressive to me. I enjoyed the story too.... for the most part. Was my game of the year when it came out. With all the updates for darker nights and all that, it's even better. I feel almost exactly the same about stalker 2 right now. The erojank games are scratching my itch.
The Steam Winter Sale is now live, and here are the best Steam Deck games you can get for under $5 right now.
im going for Dying light... it just clicks with me more.
Dying Light.
It has a more serious tone
Dead Island 2 seems too whacky
Dying Light for me
I want both. Dying light for serious gaming and dead island 2 for fun zombie slashing co-op action.
Don't care. I'm getting both. (as well as Hellraid)
