Question about the update... I've been playing it.. Well not today but I played last night Sunday - Monday 1am ish... and I haven't been prompted to install any update. it never happened for 1.01 either if there was one.. every time I play, the game just loads up, and tells me about the HDD indicator, and autosave, and I press x... I haven't seen anything about updates like the other PS3 games I own...

the only similar game I have that does this would be GOW 1 & 2 disc.. from the beginning I just popped it in and it played.. it never required any mandatory install or update.

ReservoirDog3164618d ago

Well, I don't think there's any updates if you're offline. If you log on though, it asks if you want to update.

That answer any questions?

LtSkittles4618d ago

I had signed into the PSN, and it never prompted me either, so I don't know if it's not for the U.S. or what.

kasasensei4618d ago

Every games are updating, no matter if you're signed in psn or not. As soon as the ps3 sees a network connection, it asks for update when you launch a game, any game.

zeeshan4618d ago (Edited 4618d ago )

Is this game scary? I mean, is it RE5 scary (which was NOT scary) or was it like DEAD SPACE scary (which is cool and reminded me of old RE1 and RE2 days). I am not a big fan of reviews lately so I'd like to go on word of mouth straight from gamers. What do you guys say? Should I get this? Does it get boring? Lots of weapons?

WillGuitarGuy4618d ago

I recommend getting in touch with Playstation here if you have any problems:

Nitrowolf24618d ago

I had the same issue with Dead Island. When the first update came out I was wondering when i could download it, but it never showed up. Don't know about this update, maybe my auto download will get it this time (working again after recent patch).

SwampCroc4617d ago (Edited 4617d ago )

Yeah see some of these people are experiencing the same thing...

It never prompted me for any install of any patch... I am always logged on... this day in age gamers like me don't unhook from the internet...

but yeah....

from what I noticed... after I read articles that the game was patched... I played and never saw any patch update or install... as a matter of fact I don't even see anywhere that tells you what version of the game you are playing... But regardless I have noticed things...

when the game first came out... I was losing story progression and trophy progressions on trophies it said I had already unlocked.... it would never trigger the PSN chime...

but since I've read the articles here on N4G I haven't had any of the problems that I was having when I first bought the game..

so I think they did patch or are patching it... but it is like behind the scenes or something... because I haven't downloaded any updates for this game... and I know the standard for PS3 games is install updates.

Question is...does it fix the save issue?

WillGuitarGuy4618d ago

Yes it does actually. I've had no problems so far. I even froze and the game saved where I left off. :)

BALLARD324618d ago

They need to fix the coop freeze issue on 360. Its a game breaker.

WillGuitarGuy4618d ago

The Playstation 3 version had something similar but not as drastic. Hopefully they'll release a patch soon enough to fix the 360's issues.

WitWolfy4618d ago

I might get it when its ALMOST bug free, still seems like a brilliant game though

kma2k4618d ago

I got my copy from gamefly & they sent me the 360 version, im still concerned that ps3 has two updates & 360 only has one....anyone know why this is?

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

CrimsonWing69430d 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

SDuck841d 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)

aconnellan841d 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_JC841d 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.

Fntastic841d ago (Edited 841d 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.

BioShockGX840d ago

I still remember this misleading controversy

RickRoland841d 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.

brewin840d 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.

CrimsonWing69841d ago

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

TricksterArrow841d 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

Vits1055d ago

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

MetalProxy1055d ago

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

porkChop1055d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1055d ago (Edited 1055d 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.
