![]() Dead Island 2 doesn’t try to change the gameplay that much. Still, as clunky and bloated as it was, it sold really well, and I can confirm from the entirety of our staff that it has managed to garner lots of fans from all over the world. It tried to aim for as many demographics as possible, and you know this is a recipe for disaster: you end up losing focus, pleasing no one. It was an open world mixture between an action-adventure, an RPG and a survival horror game. It wasn’t the most polished of games, but for its time, it was ambitious. The original Dead Island was released way back in 2011, and for its time, it was quite an impressive showcase. I got to play it way in advance, in a preview build kindly provided by Deep Silver, and couldn’t believe the famed nonexisting game was so close to being released, to the point of being playable. The same can now be said about Dead Island 2. A middling release, but a release nonetheless. But here’s the thing: Chinese Democracy eventually saw a release. In short, a Chinese Democracy of the gaming world. For years, the name Dead Island 2 was used as a moniker for vaporware, something that was never, ever, seeing the light of day. Be warned: lots of gore and naughty words await you.This has been one of the most surreal events ever since I started writing for this website. You can head below to see the new Dead Island trailer, followed by a lengthy demonstration of how the game works, how the gameplay looks, and how you’ll go about slaughtering an endless supply of zombie attackers. ![]() In fact, it was just before E3 that the first extensive look at the gameplay was released, so we’re a little behind the times. ![]() So of course we were going to finally get a good long look at Dead Island and what it’s bringing to the table. If you haven’t noticed yet this has been a pretty gameplay-friendly E3 convention, showing off a lot of the games we’ve known were coming. That trailer alone almost sold most of us on wanting to play the game from Techland, the team behind westerns Call of Juarez and Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, but we would all need to see some solid gameplay to really commit. Not too long ago a game set during a zombie outbreak called Dead Island took the online world by storm when a hauntingly beautiful cinematic trailer arrived online. ![]()
