Dead Island sequel hitting consoles and PC

This better not be DLC if it's a full game thats great.

Dead Island 1 was pretty damn amazing, I just hated the chapter near the shitty church, but the Island parts were so great..

Can't wait. 1 of my top favs from last year.

Oh god please spare us another crappy Techland game :(

If they sharpen the graphics, improve the shooting mechanics and  polish it enough, this could be awesome. Hopefully it will have good easter eggs like the last one did. Did anyone else find Jason and his chainsaw? I would also like some better side quests. Either way, I think they're taking the zombie genre in the right direction.

Finally, perhaps I can get an answer of that charming Sam B fellow's brilliant inquiry as to "who does my voodoo, 'female dog'?"

If they take the proof of concept that was Dead Island, combine it with some of what people were expecting to get from that backwards trailer, and take the time to make a finished polished game then they might could have a decent sequel.

Wait the 1st one had an uprising? I thought it was a wimper. The amount of bugs and glitches were appalling and the Story was god awful.

i just loved the first one, i hope this is a full game, as i want a new dead island, or if this is a sequel they better make it a full game

i hope this is a full sequal and not a mere "expansion pack" as the title suggests.  i would expect dead island 2, not dead island riptide...

First one was terrible.

loved the first one and ready for second

I didn't enjoy this game because of the excessive cursing.  The game mechanics weren't that refined either as driving wasn't good and it was very repetitive.  It was full of fetch quests that really didn't make it feel like you were accomplishing anything.  The story broke any immersion you had in the story with humorous cutscenese (humorous in a bad way) in that if you were playing by yourself suddenly all the characters were there with you.  I understand the need to develop games quickly from a financial standpoint but that's just bad, and people are holding the game up as if it's fabulous. 

Quick travel, less repetition and better VA's... Title looks rather tacky to me.

I really don't like the title.

This is great news. I love Dead Island. I cant w8 for Riptide.

I thought they were investing in a movie? Oh well....only angst is the quests are a chore like in skyrim...T__T

Here's hoping this one has more content, longevity and less repetition.

good game i hope sequel its better

Dead Island SUCKED. Wasn't worth the wait at all.

And I have the PC version and I don't have the game crash when playing co-op.

I personally hated the game,glad I got the game cheap.

I'm glad there's a sequel. I loved this game since I saw the first trailer. That's why I bought it on steam recently. The bad thing is whenever I play co-op the game crashes. I read it in lots of forums and a lot of people is getting the same problem. I even wrote a letter to Deep Silver, and they said that they're still working on the problem. But since September 2011? I hope someone take the time to read this and if he/she knows how to fix this, please write me a private message. I'll be forever in thanks.

.....hope, just take it all.

Yay. A few minor fixes and the original could have been truly great. Hopefully they've figured that out for the sequel.

Cool. I loved Dead Island and I'm looking forward to this.

Excellent.  I'll play that game.

Here's hoping that this time around they ship a properly finished, appropriately polished product instead of a horribly buggy mess that randomly deletes your saved game.

Did they ever even finish patching all the issues with the PS3 version?  If not, they should probably do that before working on a sequel.

YES! I loved Dead Island and i hope this doesn't disappoint.

i will buy. I feel so much disdain for the first with the poor lvl of polish. Felt like a beta build and still crashes (mainly while driving) to this day...

but im just to much of a sucker for a good zombie survival horror and the beating of zombies keeps me playing it.

I'm surpried that that there will be a sequel. Played the first game liked it. But the studio didn't feel that it  sold enough. glad that a second installment is on its way.

This is great news.  The first game was very fun and the potential for a bigger and better, and more polished, sequel is huge. 

Didn't they just say not too long ago that there would be no Dead Island sequel?
