Of course the final game was a far cry from this carefully orchestrated cinematic, containing virtually no emotional spark whatsoever, and instead shifting the focus entirely on brutal zombie hack-n-slash combat and open-world island exploration. I still remember watching the jaw-dropping, slow-motion debut trailer, which quite provocatively presented a zombie survival game full of dramatic moments with strong emotional overtones, and practically salivating in my seat. To this day, the original Dead Island stands as one of the industry’s most vivid cases of what can happen when a game’s development and its marketing are fundamentally misaligned. Genre: Action role-playing, Survival horror If you’ve never experienced these immersive, horrifying action RPG games before-or want to revisit them in stunning HD-then this compilation is simply to die for. This “ultimate” collection contains the original Dead Island and its undead successor Dead Island: Riptide, both fully remastered in 1080p resolution and containing all previously released DLC and patches. Techland and Deep Silver’s open-world zombie survival franchise Dead Island is shambling its way onto PS4 and Xbox One in glorious, grisly high-definition with the Dead Island: Definitive Collection.
