New Trailer for Dead Island Riptide

Now with 100% less dead children!

Deep Silver is at it again. The publishers of Dead Island have released a new trailer for the latest installment of the survival horror franchise, Dead Island Riptide. The original Dead Island announcement trailer was one of the best game trailers ever made. It was so good that many gamers were left disappointed with the actual game, which is a shame. It's a great co-op title. 

I'll let you form your own impressions of the new Dead Island Riptide trailer:

There you have it. It's not nearly as powerful as the original, but it still captures a lovely feeling of dread and hopelessness. We saw Dead Island Riptide at PAX, and Deep Silver was really pushing their new water effects. The storm that threatened through most of the first game has finally landed, flooding the tropical archipelago. The four original survivors will have to use boats for transportation. They'll also be joined by a new playable character. Co-op survival missions will be integrated into the gameplay, as well. It looks promising, if you were a fan of the original Dead Island. (I was.)

Dead Island Riptide supports four player online co-op. It will launch some time next year on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

I remember when the first trailer came out, people were like 'WOAH IT'S LIKE HEAVY RAIN!!!', then when the game was released, they were disappointed.
Come on people! A LOT of information has been given that how you can kill the undead, how you can chop off their limbs and whatnot, and you waited for a Heavy Rain ripoff? Pffft...
BTW both games are awesome

Dead Island was a killer game and was an absolute blast in co-op looking forward to the sequel.

As expected, they went with the same idea for this trailer (slow movement, piano music, emotional expressions), trying to get the same feeling to it as they did with the trailer of the first game. Though pretty good on its own, it doesn't come close to the emotional impact of the other.
The characters don't look nearly as good as the previous ones so the emotions are harder to read.
Trailer aside, I'll keep an eye out for some gameplay movies. Wasn't too impressed with the first game, so I hope they managed to polish a lot of things.

Dunno if anyone else saw but this is coming out at 49.99 so its a pretty good price point IMO.

Zombie coop never seems to get old especially when it's done as well as the first Dead Island (obviously, there were some flaws, but the game is still good).
This trailer is pretty cool. The 'Mad World' Gears of War trailer is still by far my favorite for this kind of video, but this one is pretty good. However, they must have a small nuke under one of those propane tanks somewhere because that explosion is HUGE haha..
