[@backboardfilms]

Thanks for watching! Who’re you going to first play as in Dead Island 2? For me, I’ll likely start off with Jacob but I haven’t fully decided Also, feel free to join my discord! discord.com/invite/B9YXS4A65a

[@MushroomCats112]

Also Jacob probably, but maybe also Bruno

[@user-ul7yd8vs4j]

Jacob -British Stuntman (My Favorite), Amy - One-Legged Asian, Ryan - Stripper in a firefighter costume, Dani - Irish rocker punk, Carla - Mexican motocross champion, Bruno - Hipster with glasses. Jacob is depicted as the main face of the game, as well as his character is more brutal than Logan's, I like these.

[@Reenoo]

A lil Pump look alike is crazy lol

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

An Lenny Kravitz.

[@kingklipo]

Imma be playing as Dani, I think, but Amy is for sure a runner up for my second playthrough. Jacob also seems cool, love his voice lol

[@carltompkins3702]

SAME BRO SAME BC I CANT CHOOSE between the three

[@ayad953]

broo same lol

[@carltompkins3702]

@@ayad953 I choose Amy

[@JJOOKER]

@@carltompkins3702 I think i will choose Dani i love her voice , but Amy looks fun... But i already used Xian Mei in the first game...

[@niypo]

Man I’m so hyped for it 😭

[@bryguy1750]

Will we see the original characters returning like Sam B Xian Mei Logan Carter purna Jackson & John Morgan or perhaps Cliff Calo? Or the surviving supporting characters from Past games?

[@aleexxmartinez7467]

Sam B is coming back but as a non-playable character. But the others we don’t know if they’re coming back or will be mentioned

[@savannahpaige3670]

It looks like Xian with some other survivors in a cut scene in 1 of the trailers.. Same clothing too witch really makes me think its deff her! But DI1 was in New Zealand area, riptide they made it to Hawaii if I recall? On the way to the California mainland at the end if I'm not mistaken..? So it only makes sense we'll see them again..

[@TheHellboy1980]

i wish !!! these new characters make me want to vomit

[@biggyC]

I'mma pick Ryan seems like a good fella. Plus I think he's got that apocalypse build to survive being a firefighter and all.

[@eddiejackson7281]

I like it ima slide with Amy just bc I think she’s the next coolest one besides Jacob tbh gonna be fun asf

[@biggyC]

@@eddiejackson7281 Jacob definitely bad ass and just funny man lol

[@eddiejackson7281]

@@biggyC yeah who else besides Ryan would u pick my three is Amy Jacob and maybe Ryan gotta see

[@biggyC]

@@eddiejackson7281 probably Jacob Ryan and dani. But I feel like Ryan has to be my pick because I feel like he has a reason to be in LA. Probably looking for his brother maybe?

[@superhellboy186]

Ryan isn't actualy a firefighter he's a male stripper with a firefighter routine but you're right he certainly seems to have the build to survive

[@markphimister]

In the original you had a good chance ex football + race car driver/ Chinese special force/ ex cop turned body gard/ ex gangster turned rapper / soldier in the Australian Defence Force

[@TheHellboy1980]

new cast makes me waana vomit with their wok-grossness !!! the original cast was awesome !!!!

[@ericcrowley2492]

Ok the cork girl goes she cuttin was not expecting that ❤

[@user-ul7yd8vs4j]

The character of the characters (purely my opinion): Jacob - real king who feels at home, maybe he has at least some sympathy, but he may not care about everything, Jacob always reaches the goal with the pace to the end. Ryan - guy who may not work at a good job, but he does it for the sake of his younger brother, who is the only member of his family, he will definitely support all the ailments that have happened to other survivors, for example, if they lose someone from relatives, assuring that this will not happen to his brother. Dani - real imbecile who will do anything to watch the next match when just now the zombies have closed with her, she doesn't care, including the lives of ordinary residents of Los Angeles, and even the vaccine. ( 1/2 )

[@uppercutgrandma4425]

Saints Row writing AND dialogue??! What a great way to go about things! 😂😂😂

[@Spalbeert]

Still wish we could make our own characters

[@reddeaddude2187]

Ryan, Bruno or Jacob for sure. Total Chads. I miss being Sam B tho. Who Do You Voodoo better be in this game in some way.

[@deadinheart5699]

"Who do you voodoo,bitch!?"

[@toshmccollum5890]

Borderlands 3 mixed with dead island is what this should be this the type of game to have epic boss fights

[@kokonaharuka2192]

Now they’ll hopefully show us co-op gameplay in the future😅

[@darkking3401]

Ryan looks BADASS!!!

[@user-ul7yd8vs4j]

Amy - young girl who never likes to be a loser, maybe she's not a sociopath, but still the zombie invasion first opened up to her in the blink of an eye, she hasn't been in such a situation yet. Carla - If you need a master, then call her, a national girl in another country has always felt poor, but pride has always supported her, to be honest, she carries herself with manic pleasure, she also likes it. Bruno - hipster in only shorts and glasses, a part-time thief, he is always proud of himself, even if he finds a vaccine, he will be guaranteed to sell it at an insane price (Frank Serpo supports). ( 2/2 )

[@Oceanworker]

Jacob amy and my girl carla might be my mains due to there voice actors and actresses!

[@osramain]

Skye Bennett, my beloved ❤

[@marlingames112]

Can you did a video about what the trophy list could be on playstaion?

[@killrblue]

Not out yet

[@backboardfilms]

Maybe once it releases unless it contains huge spoilers

[@freeman1014]

when i get the game I'm gonna play as Jacob

[@M1ckyCFC]

Fs couldn’t we get a cop, soldier etc instead of exotic dancers….

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Maybe 3.

[@Ezdine_G8261]

this game is supposed to have really goofy characters and not some gritty flawed grounded shit

[@Dcode117]

Jacob all day for me he is a badass love his style and voice cant wait

[@shepe7718]

Here are my assumptions for every characters skills Jacob: gun expert Amy: staff expert or speed Dani: brass knuckle expert Ryan: 2 handed expert Carla: crafter?? Bruno: throwing expert

[@Ezdine_G8261]

ryan seems like he'd basically be the white sam b of this game

[@brianthomas2858]

​@@Ezdine_G8261RIGHT !

[@djaveryjr4155]

I love the first 2

[@ComeHonor6]

I’m going with Jacob

[@poultry-lover6665]

I’m playing Ryan Trailer he’s seem like a standup guy

[@7Adamus]

They added sombra from overwatch

[@captiankirkgames4385]

Sad Ashley got removed from the original

[@kokonaharuka2192]

Amy is my favorite

[@Nomad958]

i miss the characters from the first game

[@jimfox6943]

imma play as carla.......for reasons

[@carltompkins3702]

I thinking Dani, but I also like Jacob and Amy ( any advice )📍

[@killrblue]

Bruno is a weird one..

[@dansonitr4832]

But still, we like him.

[@ghostlegit]

Lil pump lmfao

[@505PRE]

Nah u weird, it’s literally LA what u expect from there. He’s basically Lil Pump

[@Therealsmoke447]

He’s a AirPod shotty mF

[@bjarkiagnarsson]

​@@ghostlegit Never make that comparison again in your life...

[@hugovonpayns9291]

Who doesnt wann to play Ryan in his working outfit

[@xxxharleyxxx6131]

Love how the new dead island has a Jimi Hendrix character in the game. Does anyone know if the original characters are going to brought back into dead island 3?? By the looks of the trailer on Xbox. Dead island 3 appears to be a huge open world map like Far Cry/dying light finally. Hopefully the ammo capacity isn't similar to original dead island an the zombies count is more on the days gone/world war z side for those who played it....

[@xxxharleyxxx6131]

@@gutsxr0ses sorry I don't care what the makers say lol.. it's dead island 3 not to be rude.. Dead island 1, dead island riptide (also know by dead island 2). And now 2023 will have a dead island 3.. either way it doesn't matter what it's called. I just hope it's not so comic book cartoonish like some parts of the trailer shows. Can't wait to give it a try.. Too bad Xian isn't making a return.. actually if you count the cartoon dead island I believe that would make#4🤣😂

[@TheHellboy1980]

you mean they straight up ripped off lenny kravitz !!!!

[@youdidntseeanything9515]

Karla sounds like raze from valorant

[@youngblood5434]

probably voiced by same va

[@alicevibrant3729]

Omg Lenny Kravitz in Dead Island 2 lol

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

An lil pump.

[@juniormii]

6 playable characters put only 3 players in co op

[@xinquisiterx]

Ima play as bruno bro looks like lil pump so ima be drinking that wock while killing zombies awesome😤😤😤😤😤

[@Sc-rl6lz]

jacob gang

[@OOOo24o577]

Yessir! Jacob is 100-percent my main character.

[@IsaiahGuerrieri]

the ONLY problem I have is the way they chose to make the characters look aside from the firefighters. I really don’t want to be running around, looking like a Lil pump in a zombie filled world. I hope they let us customize our outfits by going into stores and putting on clothes.

[@rileybauman7980]

He's a stripper

[@IsaiahGuerrieri]

@@rileybauman7980 still hope we can put on clothing or choose different outfits that would be cool.

[@JJOOKER]

@@IsaiahGuerrieri Yeah i would like to put some fancy clothes on Dani just for fun...

[@IsaiahGuerrieri]

@@JJOOKER 😂😂😂 by fancy u mean lingerie

[@genevandenham7999]

I don't think he is a firefighter. Lmfao.

[@profoundclarity8497]

Jacob all the way...

[@samb9540]

It looks like Bruno is supposed to be kinda like Purna from the first game , an expert with Firearms .

[@aleexxmartinez7467]

Bruno was giving me Logan vibes

[@DeZHDSocial]

Photomode?

[@backboardfilms]

It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but I sure hope it does

[@DeZHDSocial]

That’s the only way I’m pre-ordering . No point in giving me cool looking characters if I can’t see them .

[@JayRitualz]

Is that lil pump

[@ihaveasmallpp]

Bruno looks like lil pump so I’m choosing him first

[@wolverine4800]

Ryan, Amy ou Dani.

[@ThatOneToucan]

What is your accent?

[@dabatman7054]

They should've made Bruno a Shaggy/Stoner type of character instead of another cookie cutter hipster.

[@ubatzstronz6414]

I love these Games and this looks fantastic!! The only negative for me is I just wish that the characters were a little more inconspicuous. Not so whacky and " out there" with tattoos and colorful clothing etc.. why do they all have to be Rockstar's & rappers with pink & green hair. What happened to laying in the shadows ? Not attracting attention.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

So we got Lenny Kravitz,lil pump Don't know who the rest are.

[@toddhorton2882]

Bruno-a failed mumble rapper Carla-a mechanic with car in her name Dani-got tired of working with dead service Ryan-his hose sprays the hoes for money Amy-Tā zhǐshì tǎoyàn shīqù Jacob- he most definitely chose that team

[@void7837]

I feel like Jacob Amy Ryan and carla fit this franchise the most, the rest looks kinda meh imo

[@backboardfilms]

It really seems like Dambuster wanted the most distinctive characters possible 💀

[@void7837]

​@@backboardfilms for real ☠️

[@furyrust]

Consider them as anime characters and it would be okay.

[@furyrust]

@@void7837 I like Dani the most though.

[@Ezdine_G8261]

apparently they're pretty much all awesome characters according to playtesters

[@JackieBOYoBOY]

These characters look lame asf. Except for Jacob I'm pretty excited regardless tho

[@washi2916]

i woulda picked amy but she sound a lil annoying tbh so imma pick ryan

[@theanalqueen]

I'm not excited for any of them, I was hoping for a blonde Bimbo type I mean it's LA.

[@mattcordoza2293]

Fresno 😂

[@8minato]

I hate the change to Jacobs hairstyle he looks wayyyy better in the cinematic trailer.

[@void7837]

It looks kinda scuffed

Ill go with jacob, the rest are weird and feel like back 4 blood characters

I’m a good boi……swear on me mums Graves 😁

[@arieson7715]

@:55 why would someone be excited about a zombie apocalypse and a plane crashing?

[@MadMantis13]

They all look and sound very cringe imo... Guess I'll pick Jacob, he looks kinda cool.

so lenny kravitz, tashi 69, a couple tough man hater ladies and gay stripper.....bring back the old characters please !

[@realitsjoe6828]

Disappointed none of the original dead island characters are coming back

[@backboardfilms]

Well, with Sam B being an NPC you can talk to in the story, I have a feeling we’ll come across the others as well. If not, we’ll likely at the very least learn what happened to them

[@gaymohammed3137]

Hard pass for me, it's obvious who they try to impress with the character selection, or in other words. Go woke, go broke!

You have your straight white male character in the cast I'm not sure why you're complaining.

[@gaymohammed3137]

@@antistraightmen you mean that stripper? They maybe say straight but dude, as a bi guy I can tell you that they story/character writer is as gay as it gets lol I saw the original character design. Bruno wasn't supposed to be a dindunuffin wannabe rapper but he appeals more to generation Twitter.

I heard the people who made Saint woke reboot had some help with this. That a red flag on it own.

[@ramO-jp8tp]

so just one normal character?

[@DarthScorpion]

would prefer a blank character so i can decide all attributes but this looks interesting
