The Xbox 360 has yet to receive that patch but that may be a good thing as the patch has seemed to do more harm than good for PS3 users. Was this game rushed to retail to grab cash before the likes of Gears of War 3, Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3?"
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
Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!

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

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."
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
Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.
Bought my copy at the weekend but i have yet to open it (finishing off God of War 2 first)...hopefully another patch will sort out the issues.
Fortunatly I downloaded the patch before playing so it hasn't affected me. However, from what I've played so far this game is really unpolished, and I expected better. That said though I am enjoying the game.
Reviewers should not hand out scores based on some promised Day #1 patch (not saying this site did, but it sounds like it did influence the score)
Games should never have Day 1 patches - that just suggests a rushed product.
IMHO this gen has taken a huge backwards step (more than one actually).... The speed of getting in to play games. I miss the days of popping in a cartridge and having the game start quickly. Whether it be mandatory installs, transferring games to hard drive, or Day 1 patches - it's annoying and definitely not what I would consider 'next gen'. I realise games are more complex now - but just because games can be patched, doesn't mean developers should be cutting back on QA.
Dead Island is a catastrophe full stop. Can't believe I spent £35 on that pony game.
Maybe me and my buddies are in the small minority but they have it on 360 and i have it on PC and other than the first day which all I had to do was redownload it I haven't had any problems except for some graphical issues (screen tearing/framerate drops). Same as them, they love it on 360 and haven't had any problems with the game as well (outside of my points). Either way this game is pretty massive so i expect there to be some issues for a bit. Game is fucking awesome and with everything maxed in 1080p on a 52 inch looks pretty amazing.
:DD
