After 9 long years, Dead Island 2 has finally arrived and well quite frankly it's awesome! Not overwhelming in term of details but a great game nonetheless, even more so given its development history! Hope you enjoy! P.S. I have a fun cinematic style video on the way also, so keep an eye out! 👀
I remember noticing all this for the first time and thinking Goddam man, the only other game to really shock me with how brutal it is was the last of us part 2 And as a note I love seeing another game with a "wet gore" effect I use wet gore as that is how capcom used the term for the recent resident evil games when talking about how each attack does permanent damage to your attacker It's just cool to see more games with a combat system where everything hits hard like this
You can feel the impact of the punch and how it effects their body. I wanted this 9 years ago and wanted this in dying light 1 and 2. Now finally dead island 2 has it. Super awesome
@@emulatorisland7417 yea no they don't. Dying Light 2 is a major step down from the original. The human characters are boring and it's an incredibly piss easy game to finish.
@@emulatorisland7417the animations being better is the biggest cap I've ever seen. Some of the new ones are literally cheap copies of Dead Island 2's systems.
To be honest she fucked up herself. When she gone to the bandits at the police station ignoring anyone tellig otherway. And then freeing the zombie at the end, could have taken her hostage so that White would stop the attack, she killed herself with that move. DI writing is cruel.
Dead Island 2 is that type of game where the devs actually show respect to their fans and playes, by offering them a non rushed game that was only just made to surf on a popular franchise to make cash out of it. Obviously this game has it's issues and stuff that need to be fixed or patched, but it's the same for most games and in Dead Island 2 you really can feel that they actually put real work into it, and personnally I'd be ready to buy this game even if it's 60 bucks for me in my country
Ppl need to realise it isnt a big game because it would have taken another 5 years to make the devs didnt want that so they kept the game small but smooth we will definitely get expansions in the future
yes but gore system in rdr2 and this game must be different you can not tear into pieces not rotten body like in this game .flesh human body wont break down with punches or bullets
Oh yah let me just walk in front of a real person punch him once and break chunks 😂 so realistic yep just cause you can do this don't make it good js it's arcade like so not that great
@@Sousou-kq9uh true. If I were you, any game you wanna try, you need to be specific in whatever you search, and never read the comments. Spoilers are always somewhere in the comments. And specific wise so you can dodge the thumbnails
It actually scared me when I was trying to do something in one of the mansions and I thought all the zombies were dead but since they just pop out of nowhere someone said ...help meee. My hair stood up on my arm. And then when I got to the exploders and they say bye-bye before they explode I always thought that was funny. I played a little bit last night and I kicked a zombie through the glass and I never realized it before they grabbed you and they have glass sticking out of their face
The only thing I hate about this game are the mirrors. They could implement Screenspace Reflections or such... but nope, we're getting the low quality png template 😅
One cool detail I noticed was quite specific, but it makes sence considering the amount of detail into the combat and how zombies will take specific and detailed damage from every hit I ended up breaking a zombies leg with a mace, bone sticking out and such With that hit the mace broke so I ended up finishing it with a blade, I inadvertently cut off that broken leg and the bone sticking out of the removed ankle and upper leg in the zombie was all bent out of shape
As of last night I Platinum'd this game (still got in game challenges before 100%) but I'm really sad to know I missed out on that convo with Sam, went the entire game thinking there was no mention to the previous survivors. Great work as always Knight 💙
The details on this were fun! Freaking amazing man! Keep it up! I'm currently making a cinematic video on this too. Are you dealing with any restrictions because of the new policy? I really am worried about that due to the gore system
None as of yet but I'll soon find out 😅 I think if you keep the start of the video clean and not make brutality the focus, things should be fine but who knows 🤷♂️
The whole vibe is just meant to be more positive and hopeful than Dead Island 1 and Riptide, but honestly it's a nice change. It doesn't take itself overly seriously like Dead Island and riptide did (which imo made everything feel goofy as hell, and the acting and script wasn't even the best to begin with, the strongest point in these games were always the combat and gameplay) I do think a lot of people have rose-colored glasses for the OG stories though, Riptide left a ton of unanswered questions from the base campaign and Ryder's motivations didn't make sense at all until you bought the Ryder Campaign, leaving the base game ending confusing unless you bought the DLC and saw the cheap twist of "the radio voice was actually just a super hacker with an American accent perfectly replicating an Australian sounding Sargent who stabbed said Sargent in the back for... no real reason."
1. You can also find the two games mentioned, as well as other game references early on in the game. There is a home that has an arcade room that not only references the two games mentioned, but also other games such as Dance Dance Revolution. 2. Some info for those who might not have played the older games.. About "Bursters" ( Used to be called Suiciders in the older games ) .. In the older games in the series. They would say some stuff that would be considered "creepy" to a lot.. As they would beg for help. 3. This is one of the big things that has impressed me with this game.. For a long time Left4Dead was the best in terms of gore/quality of the models when it comes to location damage.. Dead Island 2 has beaten that and went well beyond it. Interesting note however.. The first Dead Island would have also beaten Left4Dead in that regard but the damage system was scaled back due to censors at the time. ( Not quite as good as Dead Island 2 but it was still very good for its time. I believe there used to be a video on youtube that showed the damage system that got cut/censored.. But as mentioned it pales compared to DI2. ) 4. ( Nothing really for me to say here lol. ) 5. The gun naming I thought was a nice touch. Would have been nice to have had more than just Sam B make a bigger appearance. Though one thing that really catches my attention here is.. "We stopped talking after what happened on the boat" .. That makes me really want to know what happened. ( At the end of Riptide they do show their boat slowly drifting to a dock. )
You forgot John Morgan he playable character from Dead Island Riptide and he pull out staff when fury skill use & Ryder White he main antagonist from first game and playable character from Ryder White Campaign DLC he fury skill same as Purna but he pull out heavy pistol when fury skill use
Imagine if they completely remade timesplitters for that arcade like that one game that actually completely remastered 2 just for an easter egg and it was found in the files
atleast the bursters said bye after they blew up altho this could lead to the zombies having enough brainpower to make an army or just surprisingly controlled chaos
Last time I was at quarantine camp at the santa monica beach and one of the bursters near arcade suddenly shout "LETS BE FRIENDS!!" then explode right in my back. They made a suiciders much goofier this time.....
I love the gore system in this, and I think it is amazing, though I think it could be even more brutal that it already is, I am content with it as is, but just imagine being able to yank out the intestines' of a walker (or any lesser zombie) only to then wrap it around the neck of the zombie to strangle it. Not only that, imagine being able to bust into the chest, and rip out the heart of a zombie... would be very cool to see those as some power move animations. I hope they go even further with the gore system with a future update, or dlc, or something, it's amazing as it is, and can be even better, though... I suppose they can only push it soo far. People have said they have seen intestines hanging from the stomachs of zombies and dragging on the floor behind them, but personally I haven't seen this in game yet sadly.. is there some sort of unmentioned gore filter that is enabled by default? Anyways, great demo video!
"We stopped talking after what happened on the boat..." Damn, that line alone confirms someone died on that boat. Purna for sure made it out. Out of the other three, I'm hoping that at least Xian made it out too. As much as I like John and Logan, they just aren't as memorable and unique.
I think it's referencing the fan theory that they went into that zombie fury mode and killed the other people on the ship. The game mentions Logan moving to Canada and when Sam brings up naming his gun John, Curtis says "You can't name a gun John".
that's an very unexpected short video with no words for comments. i was expecting a normal 8 or 9 minute video but yeah that's alright btw i like you did with changing colour to black first i thought it was the character that takes damage but then i realise it's for censorship which is tbh better than blur effect.
Idk if anybody got this detail but in the game when your sharp weapon is about to break like your katana, machete, knife, etc it will bounce off the zombies instead of slashing em i saw it while playing the game and tried to get it to happen to me again but couldn't get it
The gore mapping system in this game is what Back 4 Blood should've learned from when they tried make their L4D successor. 😂 I'm amazed at just how disgustingly accurate they've made it. I hope whoever put it together gets paid therapy for the rest of their lives. 😂
This game is beautiful on an Oled! I said once, and I'll say it again. If dying Light 3 comes out, they better take notes! This games zombie variety and design is nuts!!
After 9 long years, Dead Island 2 has finally arrived and well quite frankly it's awesome!
Not overwhelming in term of details but a great game nonetheless, even more so given its development history!

The Gore level in DI2 could defeat RDR2 and TLOU2.
The gore system is really impressive!
Yeah but to be fair those games never advertised gore.
@@RGAMEPLAYS123 RDR2 doesn't but TLOU2 does, a good chunk of the weapons in TLOU2 can dismember or turn enemies into paste

You can use a water jug to wash away blood on the ground. I thought that was a pretty nice attention to detail.
Never knew that, that's crazy!
Yeah it does but the blood comes back
you can find michael's grave next to the dog's grave in emma's villa too
And the dog name is SAM LOL
@@maxdamage4919 Yeah, she might be obsessed with him...

Gotta love when a game doesn’t take its self to serious and focuses more on fun then story
@@metalgeek0117The first story was just as shit dude, you just have those nostalgia goggles on
I do appreciate the Kill Bill type color change at 1:01 instead of censoring it. UA-cam's guidelines can go to hell.
Remember in DI 1 the suicide bombers would cry for help in a very raspy low voice ugh still haunts me to this day
The only thing I hate about this game are the mirrors.
They could implement Screenspace Reflections or such... but nope, we're getting the low quality png template 😅
Yes, It makes me remember those mirrors from Mafia 3 where you can't see your own reflection
I love how Sam B recognizes Jin's role as a pack mule
I really love the jiggle boba.
*Hell-A*
touch grass clown 🤡
noone gonna talk about the jiggle physics gadamn
One cool detail I noticed was quite specific, but it makes sence considering the amount of detail into the combat and how zombies will take specific and detailed damage from every hit

With that hit the mace broke so I ended up finishing it with a blade, I inadvertently cut off that broken leg and the bone sticking out of the removed ankle and upper leg in the zombie was all bent out of shape
Oh damn, they REALLY went hard on the gore system. That's actually pretty cool!
@ghostslayer1981 it can be scary ngl, cuz I was dissolving a zombie with acid but then it grabbed me and you could see their face falling off
@@ANTH0NY.VII. that happened to me and I was like "okkkkk your face " by the end of it the corpse looked like stripe at the end of gremlins
Kinda sad he didn’t mention John from Riptide since he technically did become part of the main character roster (and was my favorite)
He’s cut the clip here, if you find the full version he does mention John :) although Curtis makes some comment about how you can’t name a gun John 🤣
I love the thumbnail :)
Tiddies makes the best clicks tho 🤣

Hell-a!!
Saw the easter egg on the video! Nice touch (And video btw)! ;-)
Good detail on how fragile corpses are, any attack can destroy any area with no effort.
Best part is, Sam's hammer was already called Emma's Wrath.
Great video ! Please make more about this game !
absolutely love this game
Homefront the revolution is also their previous game, so it's second time they took over games development from previous development studio
bro censored the gore lol
Dead island 1 and riptide had a dark theme to it. Seems to me like they made dead island 2 the opposite. It’s just full of jokes
Yeah, there was some comedic moment in the gameplay of the older games. But, it's in the dialogue now too.

Ive recently restarted homefront. I love it. My only gripe is the lack of feedback when you're getting shot.
That was some Insane details Homie

this is one of the best gore effects i've seen since left 4 dead 2
I remember walking around Venice when a bloater caught me off guard all I heard behind me was "sooorrrrryyyy"
Using acid/corrosive attacks can liquefy enemies, the animation are awesome
Dang it, I'll probably buy that game asap.
Kicking is so ridiculously overpowered in this game. I feel like the soundtrack should be the Can Can

Not sure if I would say a peaceful death also wasn't John mentioned
the monochrome filter makes it more eerie
This set a new benchmark for L4D3 to beat
Major Luv bro ❤
And there's a zombie looked like Purna located with the zombie cops and SWAT van, as we knew, Purna was a cop
Please make video on attention to details in racing games and (more parts of) sleeping dogs, mafia 2
I never thought UA-camrs and Tarantino would have anything in common
The FLESH system is beyond impressive.

Dead Island 2 is 10 time better then Dying Light 2.
question can u find the jogger from the original trailer
Nice video knight
What game did you love more
Dying light 2
Or dead island 2?
Thank you!
Dying Light 2 for sure... Dead Island 2 is great but I feel like DL2 has far more going for it all round.
You actually find reference to the old characters all over
When sam B mention Jin i was like "oh yeah i remember how many people hate her character before." Now im sad.
Bud was awesome, that part was so damn funny.
So I'm not crazy, while playing i thought i heard the bursters say bye-bye a couple of times. However i thought it was me being super stoned. Lol
Would really love to get the game for the gore and zombie variety...still waiting for steam release
Holy hell look at the gore detail...
I love this game. Glad I determined it myself instead of listening to some reviews.
Same, I enjoyed this game a lot
The gore system is truly impressive. Just seeing jaws detach and skin melt...DAMN
Holy fuck you broke her leg!
The fact that at least one zombie type is sill cognitive enough to talk really disturbs me.
Me and my homie been gaming together for 15 years plus and this we haven't enjoyed game like this in a while😅
What was your going through your mind to put grey filter on ?
The gore is intense and it demonitizes youtube videos because of how violent it is.
I sware you're character looks more beat up every time you level up in this game too
ahhh i remember banoi, then we had the jungle the city the sewers the prison allat nostalgic shit
Hell-a 🎉 !! What a game im lovin it!
im getting the game later today, and setting or character suggestions?
Carla or Ryan are the game's tanks.
Carla has more damage, but Ryan has more survivability.
now all we need to know is if the Dead Island 2 Zombie's are better than the Resident Evil Zombie's
Zombie booba... god is testing you
Why it's Black and White When the zombie die ?
light looks very realistic
What happened to Sam B?
He seems really off.
HELL-A
Why is there dog vision in this video?
What is it with Black/White scenes? Is this part of the edit or Just how the game is built?
