It's an upper class port island where the rich peddle their yachts and life the high life. The new setting is Palanai, another island on the Banoi Archipelago. Visually, this is looking like a step up over the original.
We changed the setting partially, built in new features fitting to this different environment and now we make sure the experience rocks again." "So the question shifted to, 'Do we have enough ideas in the same setting to offer another great experience, or do we have to shift the setting to deliver a full experience?' Dead Island Riptide is the answer to that. However, creating a whole new setting will take a lot of time. "Of course this is a very important question that we also asked ourselves," Reichert explained, "But the request from the fans after the success of Dead Island was very clear - they want more and they want it ”now”. VG247 asked Sebastian Reichert, creative producer at Dead Island: Riptide publisher Deep Silver why his company and Technland opted to stay in the tropics for now. Some theorised that 'Dead City' could see the action go inland, or that 'Dead World' would place an MMO spin on the formula.

Of course the final game bore none of the trailer's sentiment and devolved the tone down into more of a brash swagger, but when experienced in four player co-op mode, it was a blast. Whatever one thinks of the subject matter, the clip got people talking and propelled expectations higher. The game's debut trailer courted controversy for its grandiose depiction of a hotel resort under siege by zombies, culminating in the slow-motion, reversed death of a young girl. It's not the most polished game of the generation, nor could anyone state that its bug-free, but it was refreshing to see gamers overlook things like visuals and stability in the name of a fun co-op experience and their love of the undead. Techland's Dead Island is an oddity of sorts. Interest in the game began when its first teaser trailer surfaced. Electrified Katana? No problem, as long as you have the ingredients and cash to make it happen. Weapons were a big focus, giving you wide crafting options. The original game is set on the resort island of Banoi. VG247's Dave Cook speaks with Deep Silver about the flooded paradise of Palanai, the game's plot, co-op play and much more. Dead Island: Riptide will take you back to tropical zombie hell next year.
