Dead Island 2

What the fuck happened to it? Last trailer we got is like 3 years old, with that guy jogging and transforming.

No one gave a shit about zombies anymore.

Three years? Feels like a decade.

Fuck me, it's actually 5 years old.

>What the fuck happened to it?
Feedback was awful
Gameplay loop horrendous
No real story
They went back to the drawing board and every year they say its still in the works

One change of publisher and two changes of dev (not including Techland).
But yeah, what's up will all this delay? It's not like it was an ambitious project. How can a open world zombie basher drag on so much?

Dying Light happened, and was a superior zombie game in every way possible, and it's getting a real sequel.

I'm currently playing dead island 1 it's pretty fun

Is riptide any good ?

>and was a superior zombie game in every way possible,
It's not even as good as Riptide let alone DI1.

This. Dying Light is just Dead Island with Parkour and scary night zombies.

This. The world doesn't need Dead Island anymore.

cancelled and reworked into dying light or whichever game it was
might still be getting a proper dead island 2 down the line i mean the first one was vaporware with no ads or insight into the development for like a decade

It's a fairly big step down and you can feel it.

riptide doesnt have the same soul but its more content once you're done replaying the main game

Name one thing that's better in Dead Island than Dying Light.

is it that good?

I really enjoyed a zombie setting during day time really contrasts with the typical spooky night zombie thing, also the dark shadows of buildings could hide them.

Also Sam B best dead island

Are you retarded? Techland had noting to do with Dead Island 2. They fuck off right away to make Dying Light. Different studio supposed to make DI2 and nothing go reworked

>he doesnt know

It's dead, Jim

Dying Light is pretty damn good, yes. Give it a try, it's on sale all the time. Also, the expansion it comes with is pretty great as well, and quite large.

Techland was originally going to make it but decided to do Dying Light instead.

At some point Deep Silver thought they hit a smashing series with Dead Island. Beside the sequel they also pushed out the di moba and escape from dead island, which was some weird adventure game I recall. I feel like after the failure of both moba and escape they realized that no one that much cares about this ip and they lost hope in DI2.

Even if then it was likely only an early concepts. And even when they stepped away to make DL, there was still an other studio working on DI2 and, if you believe the words of the publisher, they still work on it.

The world never needed dead island to begin with. If your game design is "its like borderlands but..." then its fucking awful.
