Dead Island is a 2011 action role-playing game developed by Techland and published by Deep Silver.[6] Released for Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the game is centered on the challenge of surviving a zombie-infested open world with a major emphasis on melee combat. The plot focuses on four playable survivors trying to survive and escape off the fictional island of Banoi.
The game was announced at the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo,[7] but delayed until 2011. The game's cinematic announcement trailer was met with controversy over its depiction of a dead child. However reception was nonetheless positive, with praise going towards the emotional impact, animation and story, with the trailer being held as one of the best in any medium. The game was released in 2011. September for North America/Europe and in October for Japan. Despite the pre-release acclaim, the game received generally lukewarm reviews. While praised for its atmosphere, gameplay and playable characters, it was also criticized for large technical difficulties and in-game glitches, graphics and most notably being hampered for lacking the emotional themes presented in the trailer.
A standalone DLC expansion, Dead Island: Riptide, was released in 2013; a spin-off, Escape Dead Island, was released on 18 November 2014; and a sequel, Dead Island 2, was set to be released in 2015, but has since been delayed and is now slated for a release on February 3, 2023.[8] A remastered version of the game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 31 May 2016. Titled Dead Island: Definitive Collection, it bundles the game with Riptide, all DLC and a 16-bit side-scrolling game called Dead Island: Retro Revenge.

For a game released back when every game had a greyish/brownish tone to them this one aged pretty well.

Very good open world design (better than both DL games, no cap) a shockingly well balanced combat system (you can just about die from any 3+ zombie fight if you're really bad, or come out unscathed if you're good) a progression system that truly matters (a lot of meaningful skills, with a handful significantly altering gameplay) excellent weapon variety (that you _have_ try out) a large number of quests and unique, memorable locations (with 4 "biomes", 3 large maps, a dozen or so "dungeons") awesome graphics for the time (Definitive Edition still holds up mostly)

@TheStraightestWhitest 2 года назад

The real strength of Dead Island was that it was actually about zombies. The final enemy of both DI games was a unique infected. The core of the story always revolved around the infected. Every side mission, every looming threat, it was always the infected. And they didn't fail at justifying this. Butchers, Rams, Screamers, Floaters, Wrestlers, Drowners, and those unique boss Infected from Riptide and the Grenadiers, they had sooo many terrifying mutations that gave credence to the threat the infected posed. This is something I'm missing in almost every other zombie game, even Dying Light 1 and 2. The infected just aren't the real threat. They're supposed to be the terrifying presence of these games. There's something so unnatural about what was once human now so uncaring about sloshing around in its own blood, not a hint of self preservation left as it ragingly hunts other humans. It's that horrific thought of ''What if that becomes my fate?'' Dead Island was extremely effective at making you feel that without shoving it into your face just by filling these little beach houses and resorts with all manner of monstrosities. You always had the infected to fear. From the looks of it, even its sequel isn't living up to that with its jokey tone. This isn't the fucking MCU. Not everything has to be shits and giggles... I don't wanna see people acting like Duke Nukem during the zombie apocalypse. I'm afraid we're not going to see another proper zombie game like Dead Island ever again.

When this game came out, I really liked it a lot. I think that "charm" is that it just presents a lot of opportunities to roleplay and create your own fun. It's really easy to immerse yourself in Dead Island, it looks like a fun place to be. The combat is pretty fun and I really like the brutality in the combat and model art. Dying Light is better in most regards, but I don't think it replaces Dead Island.

Even with Dying Light 1 and 2, Dead Island and Riptide arguably have the best zombie slaying to this day.

I'm replaying the game every 2-3 years or so. There is something about the first act/area (the istalnd resort), which I cannot wrap my head around, but to this day I think that, atmospherically, that is one of the best areas ever made in any videogame. It might be the slick looks of sunshine and bone-white beaches which they nailed (playing the Definitive Edition, so graphics are updated). It might be the utter juxtaposition of a picture-perfect holiday beach resort being littered with blood, guts, corpses and zombies. I don't know. But as an opening act and as an area as a whole, the sheer quality of it is just through the roof for me. Techland NAILED it.

@whysnice4768 2 года назад

Dying light 2 was certainly downgraded in comparison to both Dead Island and first Dying light in various ways, which is a damn shame. However Dying light 1 was most definitely an improvement after Dead Island all around besides the different setting as that is to personal preference. Gameplay and mechanically wise it never lost any guns and only improved it’s shooting aspect, had an amazing dlc “the following” which also added an improved driving and personal car which could be tuned in various ways. The map got bigger and much more detailed with dozens of different fully furnished apartments, stores, pharmacies, garages to loot and explore and they nailed the atmosphere of a recently plagued and collapsed south-eastern city filled with bandits and hundreds of undead (100+ zombies can actually be seen on screen at once multiple times in the game in certain areas like bridges and main streets). I’d say that in comparison to Dying light 2 Dead Island is superior, however the first Dying light can be called the best out of those 3 and one of the best open world zombie slashers of all time.

I loved this game growing up, it's amazing how it still holds up graphically. I wish there were more mods on PC for it though, to revamp it that extra bit

@PixelMurder 2 года назад

I have two ongoing play troughs at the moment, one for COOP, one for single player. The game has its flaws and bad gameplay decisions in it, it feels trashy, but it's addictive. Strangely enough, I didn't like Dying Light 1 at all, and I haven't even played part 2. BTW. Sam B's intro is cult. Normally, I try to mod anything between me and a game away to save valuable seconds, but in this case, I have to start every session watching the intro of DI.

I LOVED these games to death, warts and all. In Dying Light I really missed the analogue stick combat system where you swing your weapon with the right stick. Feels so unique and it worked pretty well too!

I loved the game.. The way u were able to break the arms off the zombies, so they were all limp and not able to use their arms. That really stuck with me.. And of course also the sick intro track. “Who do u voodoo, Bitch!”.

If only it didn't have that section with the knife arm zombie at the plane roughly halfway/two-thirds through. Makes soloing it pointless unless somebody has fixed it. That escort mission that basically insta-fails solo.

This is still in my top 5 favorite games. Being 12 year old who was still scared shitless to Zombies (thanks World at War Zombies) this game was such a different pace. Met a kid who became a long time friend and we did everything, found all the easter eggs. God I miss the old days

Dead Island is one of my Top 5 fav games, but I feel Dead Island 2 is gonna blow the first one out of the water in every aspect. Already pre-ordered the HELL-A Edition for my Series X. 🤘

@MBulldog1979 2 года назад

Probably unintentional (or maybe not) but the setting being a tropical island arks back to late 70's/early 80's italian zombie movies. There are quite a few of them set in tropical islands. Must be why I love this game so much, currently doing a playthrough with Logan. PS: don't crucify me but I prefer the Dead Island games to Dying Light. Just my opinion.

@mhjmstultiens 2 года назад

This truly is a great zombie basher. Superb setting as well. Even though I believe Dying Light ended up being superior, this was a great start for Techland.

I loved this when it came out. It did get progressively worse as the game went on though. The initial area design was amazing, the beach resort. But then it went into a town sort of area which was alright and then a jungle which in my opinion was terrible. Lile the devs just gave up. The next game Riptide seemed to all be in the jungle and just didn't catch my interest at all. In short setting is really important and I think number 2 won't skimp out on that. Fingers crossed we get an awesome brutal masterpiece

@kennyburkamp4054 Год назад

Besides the fact I didn't find the jungle to be bad at all dead island riptide was not just jungle later half the game was a city map

@Slevinlobell Год назад

I remember hearing that guy say, "Where did I put dat' " like 5000x while playing this, to where I was waking up at night from nightmares of like him becoming some Buffalo Bob serial killer, and me strapped to a Gurnee and his pacing around with a chainsaw as I'm screaming and he's repeating, " where did I put dat.." Ok, so I exaggerated the dreams etc, but man, that guy said that I swear, he'd show in the middle of the police station, in the ocean on the beach, saying, "where did I put dat.."😂😂 😂😂😂😂

@nomercy8989 2 года назад

Funny. I finally played the original Dead Island after failing to get into it in 2012 and 2013. Finished it literally an hour before this video was posted. And I have to say. Everything in this game after the Act 1 resort part is more or less the unfinished early alpha of the far superior Dying Light.

I remember seeing the trailer with the family i was like "this is gonna be the best game ever" once i played it i was like "wtf is this?", but then again it was my fault for seeing a game trailer instead of actual gameplay , i was expecting a good and dark story but it was mhhhh not even scary also voice acting wasn't that great whole game just felt like a side mission even the main story felt a little flat

Riptide was the part II of Dead Island it was sort of a standalone game, but not really, kinda like a giant DLC. I really like that one too...the story was good, plus it threw in some new environments like larger city areas, sewers, etc.

Main things I want when combating zombies -Ability to throw melee qeapons or items like the first game(pretty basic) -When you swing it has impact and you bring the weapon back to swing again. Not swing theough the head from the right, and then swing from left. I want it to feel like i hit something and i retract my arm back to hit again. Not swing through the head left to right aimlessly

Even though I didn't play much Dead Island One, it did give me one of my favourite gaming moments of all time. I kept seeing something strange happening at the corner of the screen, then I kept hearing something weird, then a character ran towards me and scared the shit out of me. Turned out it was another real person in my single player game and I had no idea other players could join my game. It scared the crap out of me but in the best possible way
