The Dying Light franchise is great, but I REALLY miss Dead Island. Although the urban rooftops of Dying Light are amazingly fun to explore, I have a definite soft spot for the tropical island setting. It gave the two Dead Island games such a unique vibe that not many other games have
ya dead island has a nice astetic of vecation turned COMPLET bat shit you rarly find right. infact im kind of sad the mobaish game of dead island died out as i liked what i noticed of it.
Yea well dead island 2 doesn’t take place in an island anymore…which makes the game more dog shit tbh. If they kept the tropical island and expanded more, even day and night cycle too, then dead island 2 has a big comeback. But considering it takes place in Cali…mmm not too confident but we will see.
You can kind of see the direction they wanted to head with dead island 2, at the beginning they emphasize those sneakers and running in general. I think whether we got dead island 2 or dying light, parkour would play a big part in their next game… playing dead island in 5th grade tho blew my mind and raised the bar for countless zombies games with their rag doll physics and dismemberment
@@NorthAmericanEditing ya i kind of see dying light being just a test bed for ideas of the parkour in a zombie game and it just exploaded unexpectedly into its own thing. i suspect they will likly have dead island be a lot more grounded but more in like with the hoards are thick enough that you will die if ya stop outside of the odd safe zones or just constantly be on the move maybe... no clue BUT we shall see.
It might just be me, but I honestly love DI so much more than dying light. The music, the sound, the story, the goofy yet sorta serious characters I love all of it. Dying light is by no means a bad game but to me dead island is on a completely different level.
I feel the same way dude. I started playing DL a while back but I still really have a soft spot for DI. I’ve put so many more hours into DI than I have DL.
I don’t even care if it’s not good by other peoples standards, I’m still gonna get it. I don’t really like the plot in most of todays games, really did not dig the wacky, zany characters in Dying Light 2 at all. Thought they were cringey and too forced like most characters in todays progressive gaming sphere. (Lawan making me get her a pair of shoes after I risked my life climbing a huge skyscraper, really??) I liked the more serious undertones of Dead Island’s characters and side missions, as weird as that sounds, they were just a lot more palatable to me. That and I loved the whole tropical ‘zombies in paradise’ vibes it put off. Really, just give me a simple open world zombie game where I can blast zombies with shotguns, Gallagher their heads like watermelons with sledgehammers and bats, and slice and dice with katanas and I’d be happy. I don’t care if it’s not all cinematic like TLOU, or “super immersive”, or have cutting edge mechanics. I just wanna have a simple fun game with a story I can take somewhat serious. Not sure if Dead Island 2 will turn out that way, but hey. I’ll give it a shot.
pre ordered this game in 2014 after it was announced…. 8 years later still waiting and searching for info about it because of how amazing the OG dead island was. still play DI with my dad sometimes because it’s the only game we both have always loved to play. i did get him into dying light but we both would rather have a new dead island🙏🏽
I worked as a gig worker for DeepSilver's booth for PAX in 2014, and they had Yager's 2014 con demo available. It was really, really rough and in some instances just didn't feel like Dead Island. Competition was also tough that year, especially when down the hall you had Evolve showing off and passing out closed beta keys at the same con. When I heard they flipped Devs to Sumo in 2015, I wasn't very surprised. Still have the pins from that year :). [Edited a sentence.]
@@ColossalKiwi I believe that Yager was also working on another game at the time too...Dreadnought? So their resources could have been potentially spread really thin and probably reflected in the interest that DI2 wasn't generating. It was really neat that year, that's when I met the late Community Manager for Saint's Row, Mike Watson. Sad that he passed away last summer. :(
*feels deader inside never having been to the good years im hearing* ya evolve was a good game and i wish it was given the time to be better like if it came out now it would have been receved better. posably been worked better.
this makes me so happy that deep silver decided to change devs, yager's version really did not feel like dead island but the soundtrack was pretty good
@@void7837 For what it was worth, tone, theme, and characters were really off, too. It almost felt like a really bad Borderlands spin-off, especially in the face of Borderlands 2 being the gigantic success that it was from 2012 and the continued DLC support into 2014. I felt that the original Dead Island was a strong competitor for Borderlands 1.
Man this game. It was cool watching people play early builds, though in whatever state it was in even if finished I wouldn't be that hyped as I was when I pre-ordered it if it actually came to market.
the 2015 build of the game was scrapped later that year, the final game will look nothing like it since it was made from scratch as a next gen exclusive

I must've been living under a rock for the past 8 years, I didn't know Dead Island 2 was announced, I thought Riptide was was 2! And what a coincidence that UA-cam decided to recommend this video just a few days after I started playing Dead Island again...
@@Ninesniper the reviews don't say so. and it wasn't as impactful as the first dying light was. its just a shitty sequel that was ruined by development hell and poor decisions, so yeah it was a success when it comes to sales but it wasnt a sequel that was promised to us in 2018. The game was clearly rushed So they would get their money that they lost during development hell back
Another big thing was back in September Dambuster were asking for QA testers which means the game must've been in some form of playable state, I was even offered to test for them as I applied but I couldn't attend
reminds me of Duke Nukem Forever the last part was 14 years in the making. Lets hope Deep Silver releases by the date their CEO said in shareholder meeting or else the company should change its name to deep vapourware

Only played the first game recently for the first time, yeah the graphics are a little outdated, but the gameplay is fun as hell. Even if it’s not graphically superior to the first, if the gameplay is as good as, or better, I’ll be more than happy.
Yeah the next Dead Island 2 trailer will definitely rack them views. I'll be more hyped for DI2 than i was for Dying Light 2, and thats saying something
I had mine pre-ordered on Amazon since it was released for pre-order and they canceled it last year. I got excited when I washed the video of someone actually playing some of the game. It looked like it was already done so just crazy that they didn't release it. I'm still leaving hope for it
Fun fact, if you're in the US you are still able to preorder Dead Island 2 from Best Buy, or Gamestop I still hope for it to come it eventually, I know it'll be eventually, but how long is eventually? Unsure, why else would I be watching stuff like this if I didn't think it to be true, if I'm not hopeful
i mean at this point youd think this game is going to be huge since it took them nearly 10 years to make it but.... i think the end results gonna be dissapointing. for a game thats been in development since 2014.
I just hope they don't rush it and release for a pay day. I hope they take their time and polish the shit outta this game before release. The hype for this game is going to be fucking huge when we get a new trailer or gameplay. Can't wait!!!!
Remeber when everyone was like when we getting Dead island 2? Oh yo we got a trailer! **10 years later** Yeah soooooo we making it but like its delayed
Honestly, I hope they started from scratch. I don't really like this build that we keep seeing. Especially the music. Nothing about it screams DI. I remember being scared shitless because of the eerie music and loud screams of zombies off in the distance. I understand that tech land is no longer a part of the DI franchise but... Idk. I am just not really happy with it. I hope it turns out to be really good and blow our expectations out the water. I've been a true fan since day 1. Thank you for keeping us updated!!

yager maybe wasn't a good fit for the series but i must say that the ambient sound dynamic soundtrack zombie animations and attention to detail was better than most games these days, i just wonder how much of that will be left in the final game

I can remember downloading a super early playable demo version about a year back and mucking about on that for a while. Just really hope the fully developed game is acutally good and has effort put in to unlike a lot of games now a days.
im more hyped for dead island 2 than i ever was for dying light 2 hopefully they won't disappoint us but judging by the fact that they scrapped the last gen versions i have good faith that its going to be just fine people seem to forget that dying light 2 also went through development hell and its not hard to tell. maybe it wasn't as long as di2 was, but 2/3 years of dev hell isnt Good either
I absolutely enjoyed dead island it was something so different when it came out and co-op with buddies was sweet too. For what It was at the what a blast
The video game industry is the only one that seems to not have been able o find a way to make remote working work. Business software development has found a way to make remote working work out so why is the video game software development industry unable to do this or are they just using covid as an excuse to get delays that they otherwise would not be able to sell to shareholders/investors?
I honestly miss Dead Island's unique tropical environment and the creativity that it brought upon open world zombie gameplay. I think Dead Island 1 and Riptide, at the time, brought a fun yet serious enough campaign that could be enjoyed for a while with friends, or a handful of run throughs solo. With all of the different elements of the main/side quests, blueprints, weapons, easter eggs, zombies and can't forget the legendary 4 crew original lineup characters. Although it wasn't a perfect game (especially Riptide) it was still a fun, memorable game that held itself up through its era even with all of the glitches and weird mechanics. I think Techland did a great job with Dying Light and brought on a new set of mechanics to the open world zombie apocalypse scene, but Dead Island was just overall bada$$ for the time it was released. Its obviously a bit outdated now, but I'm glad Techland still brought some light to this forgotten game through little easter eggs like the right hand/left finger of glova in DL. I haven't encountered someone who's actually pointed out that this is a reference to the developer blueprint #666 aka the left hand of glova from Dead Island, but maybe it has been many times and I just never seen or heard it from anyone. I always held faith that Dead Island would some day make its return, same with how many people did with the Left4Dead series, but my biggest hope is that the devs at least took advantage of the prolonged time they have been "working on the game" and don't change it in a way that completely takes away from its originality that fans loved about the originals. Also, thanks CK for the great content and bringing this information to light!
To be honest dying light 1 and dying light 2 are pretty much the better successors and It's gonna be hard to compete with its game play to be honest since it'll be like dying light with out parkour.
not really if they have good gameplay and story its more than enough to be a good game since dying light 2 doesn't have great combat which was the originals game selling point
I sure hope the final product has different sprinting animations. The thugs need to change as well if they somehow haven’t yet. Not as menacing at all.
Definitely won’t pre order but I really hope that it’ll look more realistic than what’s shown so far and ends up being more like the original in terms of blood and gore and combat with the zombies being able to break down certain doors so there’s still safe places to be in and that it doesn’t end up being like dying light because from what we can see right now it’s like dying light combined with Fortnite with the way it looks and how it’s guns are, if they scrap what they have and start fresh I’d like to still see it set in California (because the virus has to eventually stop just being on islands) or somewhere like Cuba so it’s actually on an island still but a much more populated one with a much larger city
I'll be buying Dead Island 2, but I'm gonna admit.. it's gonna be super outdated in the zombie genre. Nostalgia is a funny thing, but I'll still enjoy it for what it is.
@@isaiahphelps3232 wdym not for 7 years Duke nukem forever was in dev hell for like 10/ 15 years and dead Island 2 started development in 2012 and got rebooted in 2019, thats almost 8 years of rebooting

This is to a beautiful cinematography I would love to see what this trailer would look like if they did again but a little bit better as in like they basically remastered this trailer because it's still great as it is now but I love to see what I would look like on something else but if another studio just took this and basically we've ended reinvented this trailer but in their own style like a Square enix to the final fantasy version of gifts or if not he done did their version of this in their style it will be interesting to see what other service they could do with you even have the anime version of this it will just be interesting and find to actually see CR company is would you you with this trailer

@@vlorbmik-gooning you mean the UI?
I'll just play Dead Rising 3 for the city and arcade feeling until DI2 releases I enjoyed DL1 and 2 but tbh kinda burned out on DL2 so yeah I'll just Dead Rising 3 for now lol
I don’t even care if it’s not good by other peoples standards, I’m still gonna get it. I don’t really like the plot in most of todays games, really did not dig the wacky, zany characters in Dying Light 2 at all. Thought they were cringey and too forced like most characters in todays progressive gaming sphere. (Lawan making me get her a pair of shoes after I risked my life climbing a huge skyscraper, really??) I liked the more serious undertones of Dead Island’s characters and side missions, as weird as that sounds, they were just a lot more palatable to me. That and I loved the whole tropical ‘zombies in paradise’ vibes it put off. Really, just give me a simple open world zombie game where I can blast zombies with shotguns, Gallagher their heads like watermelons with sledgehammers and bats, and slice and dice with katanas and I’d be happy. I don’t care if it’s not all cinematic like TLOU, or “super immersive”, or have cutting edge mechanics. I just wanna have a simple fun game with a story I can take somewhat serious. Not sure if Dead Island 2 will turn out that way, but hey. I’ll give it a shot.
if they keep analog fighting the game is an automatic 100 to me
would love to see it but I'll believe when it's out
Ahh i can imagine that some modder would probably try to get sam b or logan character added into it
yager maybe wasn't a good fit for the series but i must say that the ambient sound dynamic soundtrack zombie animations and attention to detail was better than most games these days, i just wonder how much of that will be left in the final game
What sort of world do we live in where this gets a sequel and not God Hand or Vanquish?
If we waited this long then it’s gotta be gta but with zombies
Great video g to be honest i forgot about this game hopefully this dead island 2 will make a *beep* tweet like cyberpunk did few years ago☺
A goofy Hollywood-themed island zombie game would be so good right now.
8 years and development is still a mystery. Thats sketch
Hope we got good multiplayer became I loved playing with friends.
You can kind of see the direction they wanted to head with dead island 2, at the beginning they emphasize those sneakers and running in general. I think whether we got dead island 2 or dying light, parkour would play a big part in their next game… playing dead island in 5th grade tho blew my mind and raised the bar for countless zombies games with their rag doll physics and dismemberment
I pre-ordered this game at GameStop many years back I’m never getting that cash back
it be funny if the day this game comes out. you suddenly get a copy of "Dead Island 2" free of charge for your 8 years missing 60$
@@IdiotStinky02 that'd be great lol
I can remember downloading a super early playable demo version about a year back and mucking about on that for a while. Just really hope the fully developed game is acutally good and has effort put in to unlike a lot of games now a days.
I'd be more excited if there was rumor of a Left 4 Dead 3!
February 2023. Official Dead Island 2 Trailer is out. I cannot wait.
im more hyped for dead island 2 than i ever was for dying light 2
hopefully they won't disappoint us but judging by the fact that they scrapped the last gen versions i have good faith that its going to be just fine
people seem to forget that dying light 2 also went through development hell and its not hard to tell. maybe it wasn't as long as di2 was, but 2/3 years of dev hell isnt Good either
Dying light 2 didnt deliver. It was a huge downgrade compared to what was shown in demo trailers earlier. They pulled off a Cyberpunk just less buggy.
Just a reminder it's going to be like dying like 2 but without the parkour
no lol its going to be so much different
I wouldn't mind a change of scenery with fun gameplay
I absolutely enjoyed dead island it was something so different when it came out and co-op with buddies was sweet too. For what It was at the what a blast
The video game industry is the only one that seems to not have been able o find a way to make remote working work. Business software development has found a way to make remote working work out so why is the video game software development industry unable to do this or are they just using covid as an excuse to get delays that they otherwise would not be able to sell to shareholders/investors?
I totally forgot about this. Just been replaying dead island
I honestly miss Dead Island's unique tropical environment and the creativity that it brought upon open world zombie gameplay. I think Dead Island 1 and Riptide, at the time, brought a fun yet serious enough campaign that could be enjoyed for a while with friends, or a handful of run throughs solo. With all of the different elements of the main/side quests, blueprints, weapons, easter eggs, zombies and can't forget the legendary 4 crew original lineup characters. Although it wasn't a perfect game (especially Riptide) it was still a fun, memorable game that held itself up through its era even with all of the glitches and weird mechanics. I think Techland did a great job with Dying Light and brought on a new set of mechanics to the open world zombie apocalypse scene, but Dead Island was just overall bada$$ for the time it was released. Its obviously a bit outdated now, but I'm glad Techland still brought some light to this forgotten game through little easter eggs like the right hand/left finger of glova in DL. I haven't encountered someone who's actually pointed out that this is a reference to the developer blueprint #666 aka the left hand of glova from Dead Island, but maybe it has been many times and I just never seen or heard it from anyone. I always held faith that Dead Island would some day make its return, same with how many people did with the Left4Dead series, but my biggest hope is that the devs at least took advantage of the prolonged time they have been "working on the game" and don't change it in a way that completely takes away from its originality that fans loved about the originals. Also, thanks CK for the great content and bringing this information to light!
Dead Island 2 releases in 2023.
My source: My uncle who works at Nintendo.
the thing is that even embracer confirmed that its coming out around that time
I went to the edge of the universe and back while they were making this game.
what I believe deep silver are still making saints row so when that's made there going full throttle on devolvement for dead island 2
To be honest dying light 1 and dying light 2 are pretty much the better successors and It's gonna be hard to compete with its game play to be honest since it'll be like dying light with out parkour.
not really if they have good gameplay and story its more than enough to be a good game since dying light 2 doesn't have great combat which was the originals game selling point
*One of the greatest video game trailers.....EVER!*
I sure hope the final product has different sprinting animations. The thugs need to change as well if they somehow haven’t yet. Not as menacing at all.
not sure if they can deliver a better killing zombies mechanic then dying light... I mean this is pretty damn good
i wish the runner in the trailer could be in gameplay
Ah yes, the next Duke Nukem forever experience
duke nukem was being made by one developer for like 15 years though
2045 still waiting for dead island 2
I hope they dont F it up like they F up dying light 2
They need to make it just as frightening. If your zombie game isn’t scary just put it back on the shelf.
Definitely won’t pre order but I really hope that it’ll look more realistic than what’s shown so far and ends up being more like the original in terms of blood and gore and combat with the zombies being able to break down certain doors so there’s still safe places to be in and that it doesn’t end up being like dying light because from what we can see right now it’s like dying light combined with Fortnite with the way it looks and how it’s guns are, if they scrap what they have and start fresh I’d like to still see it set in California (because the virus has to eventually stop just being on islands) or somewhere like Cuba so it’s actually on an island still but a much more populated one with a much larger city
It's not more right now it's more like back then
Hopefully it happening. I enjoyed the original dead island and am loving dying light 2 so would love some more.
Love both franchise
I'll be buying Dead Island 2, but I'm gonna admit.. it's gonna be super outdated in the zombie genre. Nostalgia is a funny thing, but I'll still enjoy it for what it is.
I'll believe it when I see it. No Hate towards you or anything. I just lost hope in this until i see actual showing.
How long do they need. It’s been 7 years
development hell is a thing you know?
@@void7837 not for 7 years it’s not.
@@isaiahphelps3232 wdym not for 7 years Duke nukem forever was in dev hell for like 10/ 15 years and dead Island 2 started development in 2012 and got rebooted in 2019, thats almost 8 years of rebooting
Funny... I just got back into it because it was heavily discounted on Playstation. Insane that this vid gets recommended now. 😂😂
The definitive editions are a lot of fun
I bought dead island recently. Holy shit the story is hot doo doo. But i dont blame the people who love dead island. Im sure it was hella fun back in 2011
Story doo doo? Really? I thought it was good
the story is shit but the combat was hella fun
@@ghostlegit voo doo
It's still a lot of fun today and the story is so bad it's good to me
Been waiting for this video
People who are enjoyers of both dead island and dying light>people who argue about which series is better
Yeah
It's taking so long because the scope of dead island and number of systems involved is like 10x that of Dying light
Really hoping that the setting remains in California!
might as well make it 2024 to be officially a 10 year wait since the OG Trailer.
Nothing beats the Xbox 360 era. Great times playing this game. Whats up with all the comments lol.. Typical PS4 players.
I love the games and Ive only played them on ps3/PS4 lol
Playing dying light 2 even tho I love it looking at these early builds of dead island 2 I think I would love it more than dying light lol.
true i always loved how much color and gore there was in the gameplay trailers. it will be so much different from dying light
I forgot this game existed lmao
This is to a beautiful cinematography I would love to see what this trailer would look like if they did again but a little bit better as in like they basically remastered this trailer because it's still great as it is now but I love to see what I would look like on something else but if another studio just took this and basically we've ended reinvented this trailer but in their own style like a Square enix to the final fantasy version of gifts or if not he done did their version of this in their style it will be interesting to see what other service they could do with you even have the anime version of this it will just be interesting and find to actually see CR company is would you you with this trailer
This game better be very good and long
I still play both definitive editions and am constantly getting more and more stuff done on them with multiple accounts, if they do this, I will be sooooo happpppyyyyy!!😌😌
And for the record played when the games were OG on 360 and harder. Both on older version and newer definitive they are ALL fun 🤩
This game is approaching Duke Nukem Forever levels of waiting frustration. Fucking release the game Deep Silver!!!!!!!
and when they release it you will cry that its buggy. let them work on the damn game, its only been in development for not even 3 years, the assets from previous devs let them release it a lot earlier than it should
@@void7837 the game has been in development for 8 years. 8 YEARS, NOT 3. You can see why I’m so pissed off of the constant changing of developers and systems. 3 years, have been living under a rock?
@@Swordslinger-hb1ns yeah sure 8 years if you want to go that Way. Now People will say that the game will be insane because it was in development for 8 years not 3 which is actually the case since they rebooted the game in 2019
