Hopefully this is good, because it looks awsome!

 

[Maddoxswe]

Sign me up, looks amazing!

I really like their new FLESH engine as they call it, butchering zombies has never looked as good as this

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Please be good, please be good, please be good, please be good, please be good, please be good, please be good, please be good, please be good...

It would be an amazing fate for this game after so much time in development hell.

 

[feynoob]

A more realistic killing zombies.
Hope I have time for this

Man the look at 2:30 is insane, it seems every internal organ is physically rendered and independent from the rest. It clearly is the best gore system we have ever seen.

Yeah, the "FLESH" system they have in the game is amazing. The video with the devs talking about it was a good watch.

Plus the game has some sort of "skill card" system in which you can swap cards (abilities/skills) in and out at any time.

For anyone who wants to watch this with some actual context:

 

[ExcitableBoy]

What platform is this footage from?

 

[Patrick S.]

Holy crap :O

But the Zombies in the German version will probably be robots with oil for blood or something... Guess I'll have to buy an import copy.

 

[Moochi]

That part with the machete fully butchering the guy was sick.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Co op ? Gotta be right?

 

[Shadowstar39]

Hell Yeah...
Finally! Bring it.
Been waiting for this. IT looks amzing and it shows crafted weapons, elemental effects, leveled enemies and health bars. Only thing I want to know is that it's not always online and has proper single player that scales for co-op like first dead island. If so I am so in.
Dying light 2 was such a disapointment. Dl1 was good but it wasn't dead island. I miss the classes and just feel of dead island.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Looks pretty good.

 

[drotahorror]

For anyone who wants to watch this with some actual context:

Pretty much every game should have this system.

And this is a cross gen game. There's no excuse not to have physics and the like when it comes to shooting/attacking people. Clothing should get ripped, flesh torn etc (unless your target audience is the younger crowd obviously).

 

[The Cockatrice]

Kinda janky but thats to be expected.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Meet Carla and learn more about this street-smart motorcycle racer with a flair for zombicide. See Carla in action in this latest trailer for the upcoming FPS action-RPG Dead Island 2.

[systemr123]

I need this in PSVR2

[Well_Of_Souls]

This looks so good. Dead Island was a bit rough around the edges, but fun. I didn't really get on with Dying Light, but this looks like it could be really fun...

 

[Fools idol]

All I want to know is if there is a chainsaw and if I can be leatherface.

 

[lh032]

theres gun, so already a win.

 

[GenericUser]

I'm fucking hyped! March RE4, April Dead Island 2. Zombie action double pack!

edit: I see it has breakable weapons. I wonder if you can repair your weapon. I really don't like breakable weapons in zombie games, it encourages avoiding conflict.

 

[The_Mike]

I think I've heard in an interview that they have watched real life violent gore movies to make it as realistic as possible.

Must have been a mentally challenged product to make. I have seen some on Reddit and sometimes I wish I haven't.

What platform is this footage from?

Controls looks stiff and hanky so probably on a next gen console.

 

[Vaelka]

I think the game looks fun and got it for free ( preoder key ) when I ordered a gpu.
But jesus christ the cringe dialogue and voice acting, save me.

 

[MarkyG]

For anyone who wants to watch this with some actual context:

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the awesome posters behind the devs.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Have they confirmed any resolutions for the console Performance mode??

Dead Island 2 targets 30FPS on last-gen consoles

Dead Island 2 will run at 30FPS (frames-per-second) on last-gen consoles and 60FPS on current-gen, developer Dambuster Studios has confirmed with Stevivor.

[cinnamonandgravy]

yesss appreciate someone pushing more advanced gore.

not sure about the stylized impact effects though, like when this zombie punches the ground:

 

[VeganElduderino]

Ill probably buy for the gore system alone ! but is sure HOPE its good or even great .

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Didn’t play the previous one, but was that a RPG as well?

Also: I would like to see a VR mode for this. Let me smack up my room!

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Meet Bruno and learn more about this smooth-talking, modern day gentleman thief who can play whatever part he's needed for. See Bruno in action in this latest trailer for the upcoming FPS action-RPG Dead Island 2.

Dead Island 2 is releasing for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and on PC via the Epic Games Store on April 21, 2023.

 

[GenericUser]

I'll hope they'll give me a boomer operator. I want to play as a middle aged bald fat guy.

 

[duri8bo]

Have they said something about the analog combat mode/fighting like in the first game?

 

[VeganElduderino]

after reading the Game Informer article about this game , it sounds very positive , they played 5h of the game and they cant wait to jump back in , lookin good.

 

[Irobot82]

Why would a giant zombie smash the ground and not just try and eat you. For gameplay, that's why.

I agree with you , this and Re4 are my most anticipated games, 2023 is the best year in gaming for Horror games.

 

[Fools idol]

I don't even care at this point if the stroy is trash, or the quests I just want that sanbox combat and destruction.

 

[Irobot82]

Sweet, glad I'm getting this for free. Looks fun.

 

[SteadyEvo]

I’m impressed

 

[Kacho]

14 minute extended video just came out.

Looks AMAZING holy fook.

The combat actually looks fun in this one. That was always my main complaint with the Techland games. The combat suuuuucked balls.

Just hope the world and progression are interesting. Couldn't give two fucks about the story.

They've had a lot of time to fine tune the mechanics with this one. I'm here for it.

At 2:55 I heard Dave Grohl cry.

Just watched this and yep it looks incredible.

As long as there aren't any nasty surprises this is a nailed on purchase for me.
