GAMING NEWSDead Island Riptide Could Be Cool. Or NotPosted on Saturday, September 1 @ 08:45:00 Eastern by sara_gunn
![]() Dead Island is a strange little game. Not bad, but something about it was a little… off. I wanted to like it but, in the end, it was just a bit… meh. So next year we’re getting Dead Island Riptide. According to Joystiq, “The game will return the focus to close combat from the latter gunplay found in Dead Island, with a new weather system and upgrades to the engine of the first game. The weather system will now include flooding and lovely trips down zombie infested rivers on little boats. There are also forts that need to be reinforced and barricaded.” Riptide takes place on a neighboring island, and is not a sequel in the truest sense. Think of it as more of an Operation Raccoon City. Hopefully it will be better than that. It’s hard to say how a game like this will turn out; it could be a good chance for Deep Silver to make some improvements to the formula, to prove they’re ready to make a full sequel. Or it could be a god-awful piece of crap. Either way, don’t pay full price for it. Even the first one’s not worth that much. More from the Game Revolution Network Comments

Dead island had potential and was fun in very short bursts but the quests were very lacking. Here is another game that is a lot better with coop I would have preferred the option to add bots even if they just followed right by you. the playing at the enemy campaign was kinda interesting.

the 1st game was really good... it gets far too much hate! it is a really fun coop experience with great graphics... it has great physics & atmosphere! the rpg elements added a lot of depth... the only real down side is the story, it takes to long to get going and when it kicks in its really nothing more than average... but either way its a really fun game, im excited for the sequel!
as far as people being let down because of the phenomenal trailer... you know the trailer that was so good LIONSGATE bought the right to make a movie based on it...
well, i was letdown too... but i still decided to give the game a chance & while it wasnt what i was expecting it was still a really fun game...
best way to describe it is borderlands with condemned combat and amazing graphics & zombies!

that being said, I still managed to enjoy the game, wasn't a triple A for sure, but was alright to kill time
