Dead island 1 had so much replayability, that beginning where you always started at the hotel and went to the beach just to find all the crazy zombies

[@AntagonistVR]

I like this a lot, I just pray the goofyness stays in this game and hopefully dying light 3 is even more dreadful and dark than dl2

[@psychofroggy8062]

Idk DL2 didn’t even FEEL that fake it felt like it wanted to be bright and colorful and at times like with its menus felt like a mobile game… let’s just hope Dying light 3 whenever that happens cause techland is working on a fantasy game let’s hope Dying light 3 goes more gritty.

[@Spalbeert]

What do you want with dl3 when the same developers make this?

[@AntagonistVR]

@@Spalbeert Those same developers also make dying light 2 which is endlessly more gritty than this, So I said, that hopefully they keep the goofyness on dead island 2, and dying light 3 turns out to be more dreadful than 2 which was more dreadful than 1

How this game was in production for a long time

[@ghouldude2]

@@bryanthernandez9769 Incorrect, this game was in development limbo for a long time, there were licensing issues for quite some time, which is why Deep Silver made Dying Light, they weren't sure they could get the Dead Island IP back.

Since Deep Silver released the new rebooted Saints Row and seems to get a lot of negative reviews, i'm kind of skeptical about it, loved Dead Island 1 and 2 but the developer went to work on Dying Light, which I loved, havent played the second one though. Hope Dambuster Studios is doing this game a justice it deserves.

Where are the characters from original Dead Island? No Sam B, Purna, Logan or Xian? Are they going to cameo at least? How did the zombies wind up in L.A.? They were only on the islands from previous games before.

We will find out when the game comes out, but I’m as curious as you. I do think I heard something about Sam B and all the others having a cameo, don’t think any of the og characters will be playable though.
