scarily bad and horrific. are this the ps2 version screenshots ?

TheIneffableBob5891d ago

Yeah... I don't think the PS2 can produce these kinds of graphics.

bluegoblin5892d ago

i didnt know that becoming a zombie had side effects like exess of saturated fat and horrible graphics...

Richdad5891d ago

Dont tell me that every one in your town has 6 pack abs so you are pissed of to see Zombies with some fat.
But if you feel so bad why dont you open a Gym for them. Too bad they dont know how to excercise.

bluegoblin5891d ago (Edited 5891d ago )

I didnt know that you worked for the ZCRI ( Zombies Civil Rights Institution) i was just kidding ok i was just wondering why 99.9 percent of the zombies were fat sorry if i offended you ;D

Rattles5891d ago

cool dont know many games releasing on ps2 this year but i might pick this up, looks alright for a ps2 game

Richdad5891d ago

Sorry PS2 gamer you have play with pissed of graphics techland tried to make this game on PS2 but they only were able to render a single zombie without texture and their PS2 sparked and got burned due to overload.

InMyOpinion5891d ago (Edited 5891d ago )

It looks like the screenshots are'nt shown in their full resolution, hence the jaggies. Techland are the developers of Call of Juarez. If you know anything about graphics, you know that CoJ had some pretty amazing graphics. I'm sure Dead Island will have that also.

Richdad5891d ago (Edited 5891d ago )

Graphics are upgraded from COJ but animaiton in COJ was little stiff for next gen but In Dead Island Techland is pushing the envelope for animation as it plays a important role in gameplay of Dead Island. But anyways this doesnt looks half bad easily better than R6Vegas 2 and Condemmed 2.
The shots make look that texture are a little rough I mean rock like skin of zombies but i have seen a video the zombie skin looks really organic and living in motion.
Also the vehicle looks amazing abd you can drive that. Texture work is really nice even after such huge draw distance.

tony5891d ago (Edited 5891d ago )

the envelope for animation? show me a video then i believe it.

Boldy5891d ago

The multi-layer damage system looks very nice to me.

Dead Island 2 devs believe a Dead Island remake would be a “mistake”

We might be in the age of remasters, but it doesn't look like the Dead Island 2 devs believe remaking the original game is the right move for the series.

but remakes require far less effort for these companies and they can still charge $70 for them!

Feel like everyone makes fun of Skyrim re-releasing like 18 times yet applaud these remasters elsewhere. Would much prefer NEW games

CrimsonWing69420d ago

Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!

Dead Island's 2011 reveal is still the best game trailer of all time

Josiah Motley of KnowTechie writes: "I love video game trailers. While I don’t believe they are an integral part of a game’s success (especially these days), there’s something about a well-produced trailer that really just reminds me why I like video games."

Also the most misleading of all time

SDuck832d ago

How so? Because it focused on a family that you see dying? (innocent question, haven't gotten a chance to play any Dead Island game yet)

aconnellan831d ago

More the tone of it - the tone of the trailer suggested something personal and dramatic, but the game was very much reminiscent of Left 4 Dead in that you were just there to kill zombies and nothing more

Ashby_JC831d ago

You play as a singular character there is no family involved at all in the game. Still a stand out trailer that I remember clearly from years ago.

Fntastic831d ago (Edited 831d ago )

Did you not like the game?

I remember going in expecting a L4D style of game, but the excessive camera swaying honestly made me feel ill, and it's rare for a game to do that to me, still don't understand why the need for anything other than maybe a subtle slight camera movement when doing melee attacks etc. Other than that i didn't really find the game that good. In all honesty i had more enjoyment out of DNF, and i know many people crap on that game.

BioShockGX831d ago

I still remember this misleading controversy

RickRoland832d ago

It’s the music. It’s perfect. I agree with this for sure, it is well choreographed….unfortunately the game didn’t live up to the trailer.

brewin831d ago

Maybe not, but it was still a good game. I liked how they expanded things with Dying Light, but Dead Island was a great first attempt! I really liked all the Easter eggs and homages to other horror franchises sprinkled throughout. Sure it was a little cheesy and over there top, but it was a good happy medium between Far Cry and Fallout with zombies.

I'm gonna heavily disagree with that.

CrimsonWing69832d ago

Have you ever seen any of the MGS 3 or MGS 4 trailers? Those blow this out of the water for me.

TricksterArrow832d ago

They require prior knowledge of the franchise, tho. You show this trailer to anyone, and I mean ANYONE, and they can understand what's going on and relate to the family dynamic almost immediately. No need to know who is Snake, or Fox Hound, or Raiden, or Metal Gear...

Top 10 Xbox 360 Games That Need to be Backward Compatible

Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."

Max Payne 3 needs to be on that list.

The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago

Vits1045d ago

Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.

MetalProxy1045d ago

Wait everything isn’t BC? You guys act like it is lol

porkChop1045d ago

Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.

ApocalypseShadow1045d ago (Edited 1045d ago )

Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.

And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.

As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.
