[@domink666]

I want to see both developers put their differences aside and make what I have dubbed "Dying Island". Imagine the satisfying combat and gore system from dead island 2, and the marvelous parkour in dying light 2 combined. An island setting with the environmental storytelling of dead island, and the verticality of dying light would be a dream come true for me. I would want to see a more serious story about survival, focused on the zombies and infected, rather than big human faction vs. big human faction. On top of that, there are many locations that are rather unexplored in gaming that I would personally set this hypothetical game in. I think a Caribbean location like Haiti, a Mediterranean environment such as Greece/Italy, an African-inspired island like Madagascar, or a setting inspired by Sri-Lanka would be such a unique setting for a zombie game, and that's something I would absolutely dish out money for. I don't know if any of the devs will ever see this, but yea, that's my dream for the future of these two series :)

[@h03b73]

That would be a dream come true, and yeah Haiti setting sounds amazing! Would love to see a mix of areas between the resort of DI1 and the old town of DL1, and some countryside and nature too

[@4biddenflow]

I would want to see it set in New York City in the 80s. Parkour would be great in that game

[@zaccampa4055]

I hope DI2 gets as much post-launch content as DL2 will, both seem like great games overall and even if one had an objectively rockier launch than the other I hope Techland's dedication to fixing their mistakes acts as a signal to other devs in the industry to do the same, though preferably games would just launch without massive bugs :')

[@slipvskorn]

2 teams need to come together and create a perfect Z game

[@MichaelJohnson-uo3ef]

The magic of Dead Island 2 is the gameplay and the environmental interactions the puzzles for locked areas aren't hard enough to need a guide but enough to make you think a bit. The ability to actually use a broken fire hydrant to spread shock damage by throwing a battery you found in a car that you pulled out because you were reckless and now have a horde on you to use said set up on is something a lot of the industry doesn't lean into much at all and it really sucks because these small attentions to detail really add a lot to the gameplay and the sandbox. The maim feature is amazing, how you attack special enemies matter and the difference of using blunt weapons versus cleaving weapons is a nice touch. Like if you use a meat cleaver on a smashers arms you actually break the elbow joint and the fore arms are left dangling vs a machete which will carve straight through. The ability to learn their weakness and see the elemental zombies like the fact the fireman zombies cant be hurt by corrosive and fire makes sense because of their gear but a perfectly timed block or dodge will give you opening to bypass these immunities and rewards your skill in the sandbox. As well this is the first game outside of dead rising 1 and 2 that makes guns feel balanced with ammo in the over world being scarce so you use the limited ammo you have wisely and doesn't just automatically make melee weapons obsolete when you access to them unlike dying light 2 which just removed them all together because they cant figure out the sand box and honestly I feel that dying light 2 is weaker even against dying light 1 and for me personally I enjoy both but the setting of dead island 2 is better in my opinion and edges it out against dying light 1.

[@ahnafmozammel1940]

Both are still different in their respective universes. I wasnt a fan on the first DI games but DI2 is definitely fun. But still props to Techland for continuing to work on DL2 and listening to their fans

[@deadshade442]

Hate huge open world bullshit with unlimited copy pasted contents. How do u even like this? 30+ hours long story with nothing much to show.

It looks fun enough and I haven't tried the first dead island. But I used to live in Venice in a tent on the beach with my wife, 😂 not funny actually was very difficult and sad. But I no longer homeless. But anyways it is awesome that it takes place in LA. I just want a solid gun filled zombie fun game.

Ive played Dying Light 2 on my ps4 a bit when I got in april while on sale, it was fun but it felt like it missed something. I then got a ps5 in june and started playing it again, the combat update came first and then the volatile one, it felt so crazy to see the game change in real time while I was playing it, I didn't even get to central loop, I just got to it tonight and man this game is amazing.

Thank you for the breakdown of both. Both seem fun. Always good to see what others think about strength and weaknesses.

[@hereliestales]

I understand the comparison between both games since they are in the zombie genre, but that's the only thing they have in common. Such far different philosophies were taken for each game and I think both can exist in their own realm which made me happy since Techland and Dambuster were so chill with existing and not trying to compete.

[@canadiangopher4443]

exactly, sort of like how, Need For Speed, Mario Kart and Forza Motorsport are all racing games, but all 3 are so different filling different niches in the racing genre.

[@g0stn0te]

Yall are too "everybody wins". Dying light 2 is ten times better. Combat, movement, map, EVERYTHING. Dead island 2 is if you took dying light 2 and stripped it of most of its features and then patched together a crappy combat and animation system. It's not a competition, because dying light 2 knocks dead island 2 out of the water. His critique of dying light 2 showed he's a fanboy of dead island 2 , and that's it. The things that make dying light 2 great is a tech land thing, and dead island 2 has none of them

[@canadiangopher4443]

@@g0stn0te i like the characters more in dead island and how each character is a little bit different and how they all have their own unique dialog some of which is hilarious. I also like the NPC characters in dead island more, mainly because the game doesn't take itself too seriously. And I like how dead island forces you into combat unlike dying light where you spend more time running on rooftops to avoid combat. They are different games with a different feel.

[@RGBSF]

Having beaten both in the last 3 months, I'd say Dead Island 2 is slightly ahead, not by much. Both solid 8/10 experiences. As you said, both games have positives and negatives. I'd say the coop is better in Dying Light 2 when it works, which isn't often even in 2025. Dying Light 2 still has so many bugs, new ones with the latest Winter update that's been and gone. Parkour really is the saviour. Dead Island 2 doesn't take itself seriously, and you'll enjoy the nonsensical combat because of it.

I honestly love both games. They’re unique in their own way with Dying light being more about movement and parkour and Dead Island being all about brutality and killing zombies.

[@lostlegend951]

If you look at the changes they have been adding they are highly focused on brutality and killing now night time has gotten such a major difference as well cleaving zombies in half until you have 20 volatiles all at once behind you lol

[@christbenitez8797]

I enjoy both games during their first release in the 2010s I like dead island 1 on how grounded the game with a limited movement. And there's dying light 1 where the parkour mechanics and horrors of the night was mix up and it's fun and scary at the same time. When their sequels came D.I 2 and DL2. I expect too much that DL2 will be good and had more good gore physics, but its a disappointment on how they rush things up with a tons of bugs and failed rendering of graphics that even the night time is not even scary like the first one, but when D.i 2 came out in ps5 the emptiness that I felt in DL2 has been filled with thrill on how good the physics and gore was and I feel that the devs really take their time developing the game for 12 long years and they deliver a solid and enjoyable game. Dying light can try again but DEAD ISLAND 2 win this generation.

[@Jake-nt3tg]

Something I don't see when these games are being compared is what dead island 2 does right other than the gore. It's world building is near unmatched in fps videogames other than maybe something like the metro series. There's so many small stories strown around the "open world areas" that anyone can miss if they don't explore properly and take their time. There's loads of small details aswell in terms of environmental interactivity, literally everything you see you can either destroy, move around or do something interesting with that makes the environments feel more alive than 90% of games too (minus the lack of working mirrors lol). Also why does no one seem to mention that it is literally top 5 best looking games ever made? You could take a screenshot on Max settings inside a house, and it'd be hard or near impossible to tell the difference between the house interiors in-game and in real life. And the main thing that it did so well (which dying light 2 failed horribly at, and alot of games seem to fail at these day) was being an overall polished and near glitch-free experience at release. There was no need for a huge day 1 patch like most games need these days. The game didn't crash or even glitch once for me, it was so polished and near flawless in those aspects that they deserve their praise simply for that. On the other hand dying light 2 was glitchy, had bad framerate drops, had loads of weapons buffed and nerfed not long after release. It just wasn't polished like a AAA game should be. All of these reasons and more (after finishing both games) is why I think dead island 2 is head and shoulders above dying light 2 in terms of quality of game and quality of content.

in my opinion, dying light 1 blows both of these out of the water, best gore and combat physics i have ever seen from a game, better atmosphere and ambience, amazing but also scary soundtracks, more horrifying than both of these combined, night time (need i say more?), alot more memorable moments (final segment running from volatiles in the tunnel, blowing up the building, climbing the radio tower), a really detailed and well thought out skill tree, and by far the best paid dlc with the addition of a map more than triple the size of the original, the addition of the buggy (running over zombies wioth the buggy was the best experience i have ever had in a zombie game, as well as whole new skill tree. the maion story is lacking quite a bit but the main story set in place in the dlc is great (the faceless). dying light 1, in my opinion, in its current state is the best zombie game ever released to date

Dead island 2 is a great game but it's unbalanced when you play new game plus the bosses they hit harder they have More health More defense regardless of your level. Ex it reminds Me Too much of division 2 and current Destiny 2 where everything's a Bullet sponge and you have to constantly Switch your builds as if your Life depends on it which it does. A lot of these companies don't understand that if you want something to be hard that should be on the player it should not be forced on the player; if you want something to be harder take your modes off. Most importantly if you're gonna make the game harder because streamers tell you to improve the rewards.. It's just like destiny 2 they make the game harder but they don't improve the rewards they just make better micro transactions and they expect you to play on harder content for nothing..😂. This is why you see destiny 2 have active 27 million players and because they made the game harder 35% harder according to a streamer who went to bungie studios for early access final shape. Once they did this the player numbers went from 27 million to 300k under 6 months. Logically to make your game harder to lose damage players it is not worth it you're gonna lose players which means you're gonna lose money when it actually matters when you make another expansion they're not gonna buy it let alone buy another dungeon key if you're gonna make the game harder and harder for garbage rewards.

You never want to get in a heated debate on what place is better with this guy.

another great vid from Oni!

[@Pixxie337]

Wait what parkour update? Are you talking about the physical thing they added

[@Partyarsonist]

I think techland could pull off making some sort of small stories based around characters like viscenzo and waltz, similar to resident evils short stories. It would allow for more connection to these characters we almost never saw

[@gundamdude8351]

Or the way they tell stories but then important characters and origins or rare stuff like infected and survivors how they see things like they did the I am legend comics style shorts stories but very awesome

[@ZekQc]

I love your editing!

[@blackshuck8311]

Imagine if Dying Light 2 added an Infection Mode DLC thing, where you can use the infection mode whenever you want and there's an infection skill tree

[@chrisgoforth1817]

Thanks for breaking I all down. I played the demo for dying light 2 and I like it so far but I am in a tug of war between the two games I hope this video helps

[@akray1153]

My guy went to a different COUNTRY to give us content. Much respect brother

[@ficklebud3507]

Watching this video now after the latest Dying Light 2 update is great. Seeing some of the things that just weren't available before now is kinda crazy. All the updates DL2 has received has actually turned it into my favorite zombie game of all time!
