Dead Island Definitive Collection on PS4 Only Includes Original Game on Disc [UPDATE]

I bought this game few months ago and just sat down to play riptide and very annoyed to find it not on disc.

I have been ripped off as it clearly states all three games.

Lazy developers.

Playstation also has an issue with Retro Revenge. It's not showing up in people's libraries or in the PS Store. We were supposed to get it on May 31st. I've also seen people on Steam claim they didn't get it either.

So is it a code (most likely) or a patch?

I think I see what they're trying to say now.

Bascially what they want is to combine both games into one package. So as soon as you finish Dead Island, it then goes into Dead Island Riptide without having to change the game. So essentially both games are merged into one.

Where as a Limitation on the PS4 means that they'd have to have menus to select which game you want to play.

In the case of Borderlands each game was treated as seprate therefore they could actually get away with having multiple MP experiences on the same disc. Becuase each game was its own game if that makes any sense.

My issue with the PS4 version is that they'll use this as a means of DRM to prevent players from trading in second hand copies. Similar to how online passes worked. If they include a code to download Riptide then that's an idiotc thing to do. They should instead have Riptide download as a patch.

This collection screams bargain bin and I'll pick up the XBone version in a couple of months for around $15-$20. Buying Day One just doesn't appeal to me when games drop so fast in price these days.

Pure freaking laziness.

Well buy this and will just keep dlc game on my PS3 since deep silver too lazy put two discs in case. Really hate ps4 don't they . Game won't sell know.

My question is who exactly asked for a remastered version of Dead Island? The game was fun when it came out but Dying Light overshadows it in every single way.

Sounds like bad lazy developers. If there's a will, there's a way!

That response still says "We are just lazy"

Pfft after you play Dying Light you won't even bat an eye to dead island.

It's at least 10x better.

Well, seems like they just prefer to make a separate app rather than having multiple games in one app, like GTAIV.

They did with SRIV before with GOoH, and it's fine. Having a separate trophies list and application are better.

@7tizz: Not the exclusives, I can tell you that.

@7tizz: how did Sony miss anything? This is a deep silver issue and their excuse doesn't hold water, because as mentioned the Handsome Collection had both games on 1 disc and guess what? They both have multiplayer. So clearly it can be done

Deepsilver talking BS. They should have just said, thats how weve done it, so suck it up.

Weird. The mysteries of coding I guess.

Laziness is a side effect of hunger. Deep Silver should have had some Snickers lying around.

What happened Deep Silver? Did you master the discs without both games on and you're too cheap to fix it or something? Half the reason I like to buy disc versions is so I don't have to download games again if I deleted them and want to go back to them, so I'd skip this disc if I, um, wasn't already. Borderlands had two games on a disc, they both had the same drop in, drop out style of multiplayer.

Another reason why i stay with the XOne when i see things like this just a all around better console more proof right here

Wait, people actually want to buy these games? How many times do they have to try to release this crap before they cover their losses?
