Had a feeling it would be the case (1080) I think Jedi Survivor will be the same TBH

Dead Island 2 Review: Does It Survive 10 Years Of Zombie Hell? - Lords of Gaming
Our review for Dead Island 2 is here. After all this time how does the game hold up to todays standards? How does it preform on consoles?

It's not ideal for sure, and i really can't understand how giant games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla can run at 60fps and looking very good and some games has to lower their res down to 1080p but if it's 4K 30fps or 1080p 60fps then it will always be the 60fps option to me. A shame they can't bump the res to 1440p that will hit the sweet spot.

Thank you.
Interesting... you say the Series X has no 2 modes and only a 4K 60fps mode...
The other review i just saw said the PS5 had 2 modes and the 60fps mode is at 1080p.
Would be interesting to see farther analysis.

I'm actually surprised at those scores so far considering the storied history of the games development.

We never said it has performance or quality mode. Both PS5/Series X are 60 FPS, at least not in the video review. I just checked the written review as well. Nothing in there about any modes. Maybe you were looking at someone else or a different game and got them confused?

Dambuster is a good studio, Homefront Revolution on PC was the best Far Cry game since FC3, once it was patched. I knew this was gonna be great and so far all local reviews from people I actually trust are at 8/10 and very positive.
Shame about the EGS bullshit though. I am not buying it there.

Looks fun, but I can wait until it hits either Sony or Microsoft services.

Improved combat?!?! That's great! I loved the first one for pure mindless fun, and this sounds like more of the same. Will pick it up when I see a sale.....

I was reading this review:
https://www.gaminginstincts.com/review/dead-island-2-review-a-lackluster-sequel/
It was edited or something as i was clearly saw it said there was 2 modes on PS5, one of them was 4K 30fps and the one they played was on 1080p 60fps.

Average-good, like the first entries and I'm totally fine with that, I wanted more of the same that Dying Light never delivered and Dead Island 2 seems to be exactly that, definitively on my buying list to put it in my infinite backlog.

I saw that,
I checked the menu three times just to be sure. I captured directly from the console and it was reading out at 60fps directly out of the console. I will check again tonight.
EDIT I beat the game last week so it could have been added. Also, maybe the other person was on the XSS. IDK but will check again because my review can't be inaccurate.

Great to see that it isn't getting torpedoed by critics completely just because of the cheeky nature of it. I'll enjoy it once there is a nice sale.

To be clear I only played on the XSX (for cross-play with someone else from my site). I only requested the one code for myself.

Obviously, I haven't played the game, so maybe the zombie killing and story missions aren't good enough for higher praise and scores. but when these reviews say "just zombie killing and story missions", I wonder what else they expect, let alone from a Dead Island game. Wasn't the new hotness to say that games need to stop being bloated with endless fluff and side content?
And we wonder why games take so much longer to make these days. It's not the only reason, but apparently fans and critics alike want every game to be everything and an extra drumstick.

I can see where you might segregate the reviews if there are major performance differences (say between last-gen and current gen). Maybe the last-gen release runs terrible (CP2077) but the next-gen version is fine. I pay zero mind to any of it personally, so I don't care one way or the other.

Reviews are about what I expected, these have never gotten 9s or 10s. Coop with friends will raise the value of the game exponentially which is what I'm excited about.

I can fully support this idea. I think I bought the remastered ones as a bundle for $3.99 (on the Xbox store).
Luckily there are enough FOMO buyers to subsidize all the cheapskates, it would be tragic if there weren't.

As soon as I saw the preview I could guess would be a mid game. Not much to ask since zombie is all over the place.
Just don't like the script at all, hope this can be complety ignored in favor of the gameplay. And the cards already was a silly ideia since CoD Infinity Warfare already gave their zombie modes an use of card system.

It’s impressive that this game will release at all, considering it was first announced at E3 2014 and changed devs like three times.

Seems much like the first one, mindless fun coop game that I'd never touch in single player

A fresh pile of doodoo. I think this game will have far better reception in the long run than DL2.

‘Dead Island 2’ Review – Zombie-Slaying Sequel Fully Satisfies Our Appetite for Destruction
Bloody Disgusting’s Dead Island 2 review is spoiler-free. When the first Dead Island released all the way back in 2011 (yes it’s been that long), publisher Deep Silver and original developer Techland delivered a satisfying take on the zombie genre with an open map to explore, characters to...

How so? With smaller environments and no real parkour or movement options, it seems like it'll just be simplified a version of that game.

I've been waiting for this game for so long. I loved the first dead island. I hated dying light 2. so damn boring. So damn gray and the MC had as much personality as a stale piece of bread. I I would have loved for it to taken place in Florida or something over Cali. Cali has been so overused it's insane. Can't wait for this Friday
