Dead Island Riptide

Okay so some of us played and enjoyed Dead Island one, in my opinion it was quite an epic game and I thoroughly enjoyed it, don't get me wrong it certainly had it's problems, zombie spawns, vehicles, combat, story etc.

For the most part I loved it and it impressed me, certainly a good zombie game so here's a place to discuss the new one DeepSilver is releasing in 2013.

http://deadisland.deepsilver.com/

Here's a link to it for those of you that may wanna check it out, so far there isn't much info about it, I'll update you all on it whenever I know more about it.

For now let's discuss what you'd like to see in the new game or what you think they need to improve on compared to the old game. Also add in anything from the first game you'd like to see return in Riptide.

There's a trailer on the site, a music vid for Sam B(pretty good song actually) and just a random dead island teaser thing that doesnt show much so there's a start to make you all go THAT'S IT?! MORE INFO!

Well all I've got for yous is stuff of that site, there's gonna be a new character and a bunch of new stuff, follow the link and check it out, also let us all know what you wanna see in the next game or return from the old one =)

Is it a gonna be a continuation (is that a word?) of the original Dead Island?

I've never played the first one but heard it was good. I'm more of a Left 4 dead kind of person lol. But I do like the rpg style of Dead Island.

Yes it'll be a continuation on the original with the original characters, only a different location and they've added a 5th character with a new skill set. If you havent played number 1 I'd reccomend going and giving it a go, it's a good game. I'll update this with any news I find

Okay so I announced before it would have a new character and here he is along with the other 4 returning characters:

John Morgan

Name:

John Morgan

Category: Hero

John Morgan joins the group of survivors in their fight against the Zombies. For years he has trained himself - and become a master - in hand-to-hand combat. His career in the US Navy has not taken off as he originally had envisioned, so he spends his time as a cook on a military ship. Little does he know that he soon can bring his skills to practice when the ship nears the island of Palanai...

Okay so this tells us that Palanai is also going to be the setting for the next game which is said to be another island close to Banoi which is I'm assuming why they have zombies now too. From the trailer(if you watched it) you can kind of see a little of the island, not a whole lot though. I'm quite pleased the characters return as Sam B was my favourite and Xian was quite good too once you had her skills up a bit. Will keep this updated with any news I find

Okay so I was glancing over Steam last night when I found this

Available: 26 April 2013

This game will unlock in approximately 4 months, 1 week, 5 days and 13 hours

That's on the games Steam page so I think it's safe to assume that is the release date of the title =)

Will give anymore information I find, so far I haven't got much

Those were the two characters I played since my friend played the other two. I thought they would be fun but I regretted that decision rather quickly in-game. Although I did have a butcher knife that could 1 shot the walkers and it was fun when boomerang activated multiple times in a row so I could throw on average 3 times before I actually had to go retrieve my weapon.

how similar i played and beat the first one a long time ago   

 

If you had scrolled up you'd see the alpha footage of the game and see what I mean by similar, it's a lot of the same enemies and attacks etc from the first game, although the addition of boats you can drive is kind of cool

This is alpha footage still so the end result may be better and you should've bothered with the video before asking me how similar sense it's what I was drawing my opinion off. The game hopefully will be much better then the alpha and hopefully the alpha may just be them using the first games mechanics and trying not to show off too much of the new features but I think I may be hoping for a bit too much on that.
