Someone even managed to use coop. I bought Dead Island 2 Gold Edition a week before it came out, but I really enjoy the 2015 build because of the open world.
Confused on most of the comments about how they prefer the 2023 version of Dead Island 2 over this because it looks bad and doesn't have gore like in the 2023 version. This version is literally in alpha and incomplete.
The ambience and background Music was So surreal to me, its calm but also really punchy at times, i really love how different areas had Music that's made specifically for them making them stand out. And Even if the 2023 version looks better graphics wise, the nostalgic feeling of the 2015 build makes me hopeful that some Day a dev will leak a more finished version Of it Also The missions in the San Francisco map are pretty simple, the first one makes you collect a blue print that sometimes spawns to craft a modded weapon. Then there's a mission that makes you bring a radio to listen to some broadcast, And the rest are teaching you about the crafting materials like fuel which you get from the gas station, electronics from the electronic store and screws from the hardware store, There is a lot of Little easter eggs or references all around this build
This looks like it had promise, but what I heard was that the Developer working on it (Yager) wanted to make it On-line only, which the Publisher wanted to make it both On-line & Off-line (like the original) but Yager would not budge, so they were replaced. I will never understand the desire by so many Devs to make their games On-line only. Most On-line only games end up failing hard cause it alienates half the gamer base. Keep it optional, why is this so hard to understand?
Sounds made up to me. The developer is a client and they would just bend instead of going bankrupt. There were likely either more core issues with the vision, or issues with the quality/speed of what they were delivering.
i think you are wrong with what you heard. deep silver is a shitty publisher and thats why they cancelled Yager. I bet even with the 1 million+ sold copys of dead island 2 they are still not in "making money/win with the product" :D
Rumor is that Yager was insistent on making the game On-line only, when the Publisher wanted it to be both On-line & Off-line, but Yager wouldn't budge an inch so Deep Silver replaced them. And I don't blame the Publisher. When you are being paid by someone else, you do what they tell you or you quit or you are fired, its that simple. I heard Yager tried to sue them for it, but I doubt they got anywhere with it. If they weren't willing to make the game the way the Publisher (the ones who are paying) want, then they deserve to be replaced.
Some of the crafted weapons look really good but i believe dambuster is not keeping any of it...this version is much more fast paced and the areas are bigger than the current build
Imo Dambuster did a fine job with Dead Island 2. My only problem with it is that I wish they got more out of it instead of rushing it at times. Hopefully if there is a Dead Island 3 it will be a culmination of everything up to this point.
Here we see an alternate timeline where the game actually did come out in 2015 and the game didn’t go through 4 different developers. Jokes aside, I can really see what they were going for here.
It takes a lot to make the videos I make. I sometimes do make longer videos though, but if I were to make just those I wouldn’t ever have time to myself. That’s life, you have to balance priorities
I think the new one will have big areas but you won’t be able to go to different parts of the map like a regular open world game. Think of it like metro Exodus with its individual regions
I'm so fucking hype for this game, I'm like bounceing off the walls that's how hype i am but I found out there's crossbows in the game hell yeah I'm definitely trying to do a daryl dixon loadout
It makes me a little sad not knowing what could’ve been with this game, but even when the official gameplay for it dropped I wasn’t super impressed. And I definitely was not liking them getting rid of the story and just going for side quests and world events. Still sad to know we will never get to play or see what the characters the team had created were gonna be like and what their vision of gameplay and zombies was even if I didn’t like some of it. Overall, it seems we’re gonna be getting a good dead island sequel now with dead island 2 so here’s hoping it’s great!
The old gameplay was on a different map, and it really doesn't look that different. The San Francisco section in the video has that similar cel shaded look the original gameplay trailers had
Itd be cool if we can drive and duel wield guns and swords in the new dead island but the new one still looks good to me. These both wer aiming for the next gen looks so I’m happy. They might save features like that for the 3rd title
All the people saying we got this instead of what we just got now is crazy to me. Now that the game has finally been released, and I've completed the story, I think the best part of the final version is just exploring the highly detailed, and fairly accurate depiction of LA (I found the characters are annoying, and think the story is dumb) Yager's depiction looks like the exact opposite... I know it was 2014, and there was more limitations then there is today, but from what I can see through this gameplay, the world they built was lacking signifigant detail, and the map was highly inaccurate. You might argue the map doesn't matter, but putting a generic American subburb between the Hollywood sign and Santa Monica pier, and then trying to pass it off as "Los Angeles", is incredibly stupid to me. If you're not going to put in the effort to atleast somewhat accurately depict the real world location the game is based in, don't do it at all. Just give us another fictional location, not this cartoony ah depiction of LA, lmao
I Find it funny how this very unfinished build of Dead Island 2 that was worked on by different people is just straight up fucking better then the shit we got Deep Silver is in some Deep Shit if they don't fix that real quick like seriously the map's are so much better then the shit we have in the Retail game basically everything about this is just better and screams DEAD ISLAND then the garbage we got somehow even though they had more then enough time to work on the damn thing Dead Island 2 still came out feeling rushed the character's are awful and forgettable the Map's are so damn tiny and way to you go from point A to point B like there isn't much to explore at all and the game basically has no replayability no playing the game as different character's doesn't count because in Dead Island 2 the different character's don't change much unlike the character's from the original game's with their skill tree's which those were just better overall I am so damn sad that they fucked up so badly they owe us a huge update to the game that makes the map's and shit bigger I don't care if that is asking to much THEY MADE US WAIT FOR SO FUCKING LONG FOR A GAME THAT SOMEHOW FEELS SO DAMN RUSHED! and all I got to say in the end is F U C K D E E P S I L V E R hope that company goes out of business so they can't ruin this franchise anymore and hopefully some other company with an actual brain can buy the rights and make a good fucking game instead
Yeah, that's very pity that this version od Dead Island 2 didn't released. For me it looks much better than this what we've got. R.I.P. Dead Island 2 2014 :(
Nope, I have A LOT to upload actually. More then the past 6 months, it’s overwhelming.

7 DAYS UNTIL DEAD ISLAND 2 RELEASES!
Can't wait anymore 😂
BIG HYPED
Can't wait 😊
BackBoardFilms Their Video Game Play that Someone playing dead island 2 early today it 30 minutes
7 days to die
I really feel like this would’ve been a ton of fun but I also really am excited for what is coming with the Dambuster version.
Might sound a bit off, but I’m glad this game didn’t release when it did. Now we get to have this beautiful gorey masterpiece.
Yes, there was certainly a downside to never getting to see this full game’s release. But I do think the new one will be better in most ways
I really wish we had gotten this dead Island 2 in a finished state.
Then maybe we’d be getting Dead Island 3 now. 😂
Maybe dead island 3 might be closer to this. In terms of gameplay I mean. Like dual wielding whatever weapon you like
This version looks fun, but I much prefer the version we’re getting now in 2023
Eh fair, I do wouldn’t mind having cars (but not going to loose sleep over) plus crossbows would have been cool in the new game

Even though it took a long time I'm happy that we had to wait for the version we have now in 2023 :) that gore system is just top notch man lol.
They could’ve definitely fixed this version up and release it. I think this version could be better if they fixed it.
It’s crazy how much progress that got done on it
The one good thing about this builds is that they went for an open world map
All games don't need to be open world OMG
Being open world is not always good
@@erso_returned2530 true facts there's too many open world games
I hope they didn't make the areas too linear.
Also having some drivable vehicles would be good too.

This is still better and more finished than Redfall somehow

Surely if modders tried, they could complete the game right?
Alot of us are on it ;)
Gore system FLESH coming.
We would probably be sued though ..
Are people actually attempting to finish the game?
@@backboardfilms I don't know but modders have done some pretty big things before, and there's already a chunk of the game there.
I got a dead island 2 ad while watching this video
Where can I get my hands on this version the only one I can found is a really early build :(
Some of the crafted weapons look really good but i believe dambuster is not keeping any of it...this version is much more fast paced and the areas are bigger than the current build
Don't like how tiny the areas are in official release, least the combat is badass

Is there cars in dead island 2023
Here we see an alternate timeline where the game actually did come out in 2015 and the game didn’t go through 4 different developers. Jokes aside, I can really see what they were going for here.
I wonder if the story was basically the same or what differences the three versions
I love the sublime music in the car I wonder if the music will appear in another way since there’s no cars ?
Actually looks fun

It takes a lot to make the videos I make. I sometimes do make longer videos though, but if I were to make just those I wouldn’t ever have time to myself. That’s life, you have to balance priorities
I'm really hoping it's somewhat open world! If there is walls up so you can't explore anything or drive around I'm gonna be disappointed!
OMG you can't drive in the new version they Already said you can't
I think the new one will have big areas but you won’t be able to go to different parts of the map like a regular open world game. Think of it like metro Exodus with its individual regions

Played it earlier and while it has issues (obviously) the core Gameplay is a lot of mindless fun
This would have been a lot of fun for sure. Great video!! Can't wait to smash some zombie brains! 💯💯
I hope they add cars in the next 2 expansions i miss going running over zombies with the homies
I’m happy with what we’re getting but I wouldn’t be opposed if this same concept was made into its own thing.
Some of the weapons are really cool
I wish they put cars in DI2, running over zombies is good!
I want this verson of dead island 2..
I see there's a crossbow at the beginning of the video. Will there be crossbows in dead island 2?
There sure will be, I got confirmation this morning

nah what? the 2023 version is miles better
I have the game files and can start it up but when I try to load into malibu_ci or malibu_ow the game hangs on an infinite loading screen.
Have characters from this version all been replaced in the 2023 version?
Nope, they’ve all evolved. Ryan is still Ryan, but a stripper. Ashlee is kinda Dani. Dani from 2015 is now Carla. John is Jacob
Wait does the current version not have cars at all? I just realized I've seen zero vehicle gameplay since it came back
Nope you can't drive in the new version sadly
It's unfortunate max met the axe for the rebooted dead island
Why did they even take out the stomper?😢

How are you playing this?
i mean i wouldnt mind is they made the 2015 dead island 2 a canon title like riptide
Could u share a link with a save download?
I wonder if the cars can still explode in the 2023 version
It would be a nice environmental hazard if so
So we cant drive anymore ?
Deep Silver should have kept Yager.
how do you get to the san Francisco area?

too bad that vehiles didn't make it to the final version.
no this is bad, i'm happy they didn't release this one. Also, that first stage, not malibu, that's Venice and Santa Monica
