C'mon, baby. Make it awesome! Dead Island could've been so amazing.
I doubt we'll see a huge improvement, but I'm sure we'll see at least some form(s) of improvement.
I'm somewhat hyped.

Hmm. We'll it's nice to see that old price point return. I miss the first year of this generation when everything Microsoft first party was only $50. Then again, none of it was actually worth buying (ie: PDZ).
So yea...
So yea...
Dead Island had a lot going for it...the glitches are what really killed it though. Im excited to see this as I'm wrapping up getting all the trophies on Dead Island. My biggest hope is they throw a little more "horror" aspect to it, like more internal buildings with dim lights and such...but keep the fun tropic feeling too. A day/night cycle would be cool.
$50 is a sane price, $60 was always pushing it for all but a few titles.
No doubt we'll continue to see a large number of $60 games, but, until inflation actually justifies that price, many would-be gamers will simply find other hobbies.

Still need to play the first game. Has it been patched up to the point that it's worth it? I'll probably snag it on sale for $10 on Steam or something.
It's a shame that 50 dollars gets us excited. I miss the days of the budget title. Last gen some of my favorite games were 20amazing bucks at launch. Titles like phantom dust, future tactics, and katamari damacy.
Dead Island surprised me by being on of my favorite games I played last year. It was far from perfect, but I had tons of fun.

Yeah it kind of sucks, but it's definitely better than nothing, and all it takes is someone to set a successful precedent before it can get better. Just like some game companies are trying to slowly and slowly push prices higher so we are weened onto them, it's nice that the dead island team is taking the first step in the opposite direction. If this game is more successful than the previous title and is 10 dollars cheaper, maybe other developers will take notice (probably not Capcom or EA, but some smaller devs)

so expensive.
"blah blah new games are $60 though"
this is the same engine and just new missions/areas/etc..
shouldn't be this high at all.

@Slappy: You just described a shit ton of other games too. My question: If its fun and you enjoy it, who gives a fuck? Also, if you don't like it, don't buy it.
@Slappy
Got any screenshots? I mean you can see into the future and already played it apparently.
@Jinx
It was on sale 3 weeks ago at 11.99 on steam.

"We're at the end of a console cycle and that price point makes the most sense given that."
Tell that to Sony in regards to how expensive all their past-gen shit is. Like PSP titles. When they gunna mark that shit down?

I hated dead island, but the only reason i say that is because all i saw of it before buying it was the cinematic teaser trailer that depicted a heavy focus on a strong, emotional story.
In my opinion, the story was crap. And the characters might as well have been mannequins with to-do lists taped on their faces.

Have to agree than Dead Island could have been so much more and all it ended up being was a bad Left 4 Dead clone in a tropical locale. I doubt I'll be looking into this new game.
@jetset
I think you played a different game dude. In terms of game play machnics dead island was a far deeper experience, flawed? Yes but still really really rewarding worth picking up for like $10

"this is the same engine and just new missions/areas/etc.."
this could be said of most games made in the last 10 years, the biggest and most popular especially.

While I agree that they mishandled the campaign and promised an emotional experience that they did not deliver, I can't say the game is completely without merit. I think it's worth playing, even with the overburdened backlog of games I have these days.

I'm hyped, I loved DE. Yeah it had flaws, but the open world and zombie survival simulator feel to it was pretty great. I hope they sort out the guns this time. They were too many and poorly implemented last time.
Its interesting that they feel like, given its the "end" of the console cycle (which.. doesn't seem to be ending so soon..) They feel like $50 is a good asking price, when so many others would say "fuck'em, $60 bucks and a $100 collectors set!!!".. Specially after the fact that DI1 went so well for them.
Either way, happy to hear this is actually a sequel, instead of some odd, backwards, expansionary thing.. I'll be looking forward to it, I just hope the game doesn't get bogged down (or as buggy...) late in the game, like the first one did.. Game just dragged on, and then the glitches made it a pain in the ass to finish.

I loved Dead Island but there were definitely some things that needed some work. For example the textures took awhile to load, same with the glitches like Zombies being able to go through stairs (especially in the prison stage). They should improve that, work on some of the voice acting and add more cutscenes. Also try to make it more dramatic and add more plot twists.
So evidently the article was just to tell us you can't read? Riptide IS a sequel. You just said that and she just said that. It's just not CALLED dead island 2 because they know better than to number their games - every franchise with numbered games ends up screwing up the numbering, pretending one of them isn't canonical, then goes and makes games that don't fit the numerical order. Derp. Good job.
All you toolbags bitching about the price of games, get a god damn job. The one guy up top says "until game prices drop gamers will find other hobbies." ummm, no we will spend the $60 bucks because we arent broke trolls. Maybe if you spent as much time working as you guys probably spend bitching about games maybe you could buy a few.
Hell yes. Love me some Dead Island. I just hope that they keep it in more fun areas. The resort was the best part of the entire game. Even the city could have been okay if it were more bright, colourful and something I could identify with instead of a mud brown 3rd world country town.
I also hope they make it more mod friendly. That is one of the main things holding the original back.
