Dead Island 2 - DF Tech Review - PS5 vs Xbox Series X/S vs ALL Last-Gen Consoles

[@Moravia90s]

The single fact that you get such a stable framerate for a game that launches on current and last gen consoles, day 1, no patches and with competent graphics is something that this dev team needs to be praised for. Also, it says a lot about the state of gaming these days...

[@banuner_]

Yeah i mean being completely realistic this is a pretty meh game overall ya know but its so tightly designed and polished so it definitely gets a better score than it otherwise would have. I would much rather have something like this than a disaster like cyberpunk 2077, fallout 76 etc.

[@Moravia90s]

@@banuner_ I totally agree with you. To be honest, I'm a fan of the first one despite a loooot of technical issues but it had something that this one seems to have too: the feeling that you are playing a game. No ultra realistic physics or lootboxes, no forced celebrity cameos, no "trends driven" gameplay. Just a good old fun AA game.

Something to keep in mind, it's most likely that the version that launched wasn't worked on during the whole 9 years it was in development.

[@phantasticmrphasma9874]

Honestly, i thought this game was perfect. Visually it’s really good looking (although i only played it on my 1440p 120hz monitor and not my 4k 120hz OLED which makes things look even prettier). The game mechanics, whilst simple, take a bit of mastering and good timing, allowing a fun learning curve and reward motor mastery. The zombies personalities are nicely varied and they feel believable, especially with the fresh engine having so many different effects on them like melting, being charred by fire and being smashed apart by physical trauma. I uploaded a clip using an acid weapon, but the kill on the screamer felt so visceral, like the effect of stun that the dash attack had on her and her gradual destruction. The story may be basic (possibly intentionally so, a bit satirical and tongue in cheek) but in terms of the PvZ combat, i don’t think i’ve played a game this engaging for a while. Really enjoyed my play-through over the weekend 4.2/5*

[@ToadyEN]

Going from 30 to 60fps is beautiful. Kudos to Dambusters for getting this shipped, and playing great on so many machines.

[@8bitmalfunction242]

the flesh engine is cool as heck, it does one of those things that when you are a kid you imagine a game where it has granularity. It also brings back the physics tech that has been feeling missing especially last gen, where the game worlds are mostly static, it is very nice to see some physicalised systems in games again. Also would love to see fleshengine be adapted to work on armour in a medieval/high fantasy set game where every hit does actaul damage against the armour which can create weak points

I’m finding it to be a bit boring. Enemies are spongy especially bosses. Once you telegraph their move set it’s just a battle of attrition. If your decent at that you’ll rarely take enough damage to use a medkit. Thing that start off as fun are quickly played out. Drop kick zombies into caustic pool, drop kick zombies off roof, drop kick zombies into fire. It’s fun to do it, it gets old real fast when you are forced to do it to meet a quota. Controls have that first person Unreal Engine 4 walking simulator feel like “what remains of Edith Finch”. No where near as bad as Ghostwire Tokyo though. It like Dying Light 2 except everything is slightly downgraded and only includes the worst elements (except voice acting). If you got the money burning a hole in your pocket it’s not a bad buy but I definitely wouldn’t fault someone who waited for a sale.

Their FLESH engine is basically the holy grail for gory zombie games. Nice.. Looks good, runs good. Well done.

FOV slider on current gen consoles? Hell yeah! Will pick this up on PS5 next week!

[@johnwest6977]

I know I was surprised to see that.

[@MetroidFREAK21]

@@johnwest6977 That's a massive bonus. Love me some FOV slider

When u hear Tom it's going to be a serious no bs video.i love it

[@ClellBiggs]

This is how a game should release. I hope other publishers are taking notes.

[@Zack_Mee_Nhatz]

Holy shit. Thats 2 miracles for the studio. 1st, they resurrected Dead Island and did not suck, 2 they even managed to that while being so optimized that DF has the approvql of "optimized". A seal so valuable and quite rare in todays state of launches.

Looks better than Redfall

“Like a bloody onion” was so British but also so relevant in context

Finally! Need to know before I buy.

Awesome vid. Glad that they got it to 60fps on the SeriesX & PS5.

[@paracuja]

Greatly polished 😊 kudos to the devs! ❤

[@coopermiller557]

Awesome video as always guys!

[@mleolv426]

Being nit picky here but also looks like series s treats hair differently. 9.59 in the vid the hair looks like their are less strands.

I can't believe a new AAA game got released with no issues at launch and all around stable performance, especially on last gen!

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

The biggest take away from this was that the xbox series s runs this game at 1080 60fps. If UE5 never showed up, performance on these new consoles would be immaculate. Ray tracing and nanite caused new games to be upscaled from 720p to 4k and difficult to run.
