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

@Warlord_Irochi: pretty sure both consoles run on the same basic architecture which makes coding on them similar.

Time e constraints I could accept, but they blame technical issues with multiple multilayer experiences o a single disc, something that has been proven can be done. So whatever the reason is they are giving a bullshit update about it and not giving a legit reason, therefore deserving to be called out for bs at the least.

@pspearman: If they're bundled as a single game then you wouldn't have to download the second one, surely?

@pspearman: I have the Handsome collection on my PS4. You select which game you want to play when you boot it up from the opening menu. Unless I'm not understanding what you're saying, it's built into the one package as far as I can tell.

I did download it from the PSN, if that makes a difference, I don't know.

@pspearman:

But that's the point. It's the devs fault. A lazy port. They are bringing a game to PS4 and it's not designed for it. It sounds half baked to me so it doesn't inspire confidence about the remaster. My interest has just had a bucket of water thrown over it.

They should have spent some time building a nice polished UI menu and then reconfigured the multiplayer for each game so they are united as different modes within the same game, like pvp and coop are. But the dev considered that too much work because they just wanted to do a quick cash grab from the PS4 cash cow without too much effort.

The gamers will have something to say about that, seeing as it is us handing over the money.

@pspearman: So really they should have followed Gearbox's lead and have a main main menu where you choose which game to play and that way they could both be on the same disc.

Too late now I guess. And not that I would get this remaster anyway but still.

@flames325: yes, clearly that was all naughty dog, who did not even develop the remaster....

@attitude2000

Im guessing this has nothing to do with bluepoint games not including multi in the Nathan Drake collection. That is likely due to just laziness or figuring people didn't want the multiplayer(ie laziness).

@flames325: ...and that made no sense at all.

@plerpy: The only explanation I can think of is that PSN *thinks* the Handsome Collection are actually PS3 games and is tapping into the old network or something whereas Sony wanted to ensure Uncharted was absolutely a PS4 game. That works since Uncharted is often bundled.

@inebriantia: But Borderlands: The Handsome Collection had multiplayer in both of the included games.

@_Silent_Jay_: Gat doesn't count. Horribly unpolished and unfinished.

@sladakrobot: I have never even heard of that game.

@i_am_kesmonkey: there are games that do what they say cant on the PS4, im sure if you browes the net you could see those, this isn't a limitation on the PS4, just a quick none thinking response from them

@i_am_kesmonkey: Well there was bound to be at least one, took 3 years to find it.

@i_am_kesmonkey: That's an excuse. They could find a way if they really wanted to. They made a choice to not try.
