Hit-boxes are inconsistent, sound effects will just cut abruptly, and there are visual glitches galore.

It also doesn’t help that there are still dozens of technical problems. That being said, the characters still have a strange, dead-eyed glare in cutscenes, giving them that creepy mannequin look and feature mostly awful voice acting. In addition, characters don’t look as blocky as they did in their original versions. The lush environments are varied and fairly impressive, from the exotic resort of the first game to the flooded shantytowns featured in Riptide. None of it is ever particularly engaging, and all the characters are just vague tropes and stereotypes you’ve seen done better a million times in better games.īoth games received some much-needed visual upgrades for this collection. The plot elements are just loosely stitched together between bouts of zombie killing. You’re on an island during a zombie outbreak and you meet up with survivors and try to escape said island. The plots of both games are nearly identical: You play as one of four (or in Riptide’s case, five) characters whose backstories are completely arbitrary to the story (barring weapon preference). But does it have enough to make it a vacation worth revisiting?ĭead Island: Definitive Collection features the two main games in the franchise: Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide.

The final product was decidedly not that. He would be really good.Like everyone else, I was initially sold on Dead Island through its now-infamous trailer giving off the vibe that it would be a more emotional take on the zombie game. In the same interview, Pratt also mentioned another character he'd like included in a potential sequel: "Wario, that'd be interesting to see."Ĭharlie Day, speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, even has an idea of who could play Wario: "Maybe DeVito would be a great Wario. In an interview with The Gamer, Pratt commented that he would be down for a movie featuring Bowsette, but only if one specific actor voiced her.

She was created by a fan named Ayyk92 (and so isn't an official Mario character) and appears when Bowser steals the Super Crown crown and puts it on, turning him into a cross between Bowser and Princess Peach. One character that many fans hope could also make an appearance in a sequel is Bowsette. It's unclear who will voice the beloved dinosaur yet, but we do get a little "yoshi" in the credit scene as he hatches. Of course, we can also expect one major newcomer for the potential sequel, as the post-credit scene teased the arrival of Yoshi.
