I don't have Dead Island and Space Marine but I'm jumping between threads since they both released simultaneously, looking for impressions before buying them :p

I feel for you Salsa, I guess no dice with either game huh? I've been there and it really sucks, gonna be 4 long days of waiting =(

I was pretty much doing the same but I just went with Space Marine as I'm still fairly unsure about this game... I will be checking back on this thread for PC impressions often though.

I hope the patch fixes the whole zombie turn around thing and cars not being able to run over/throw tables and chairs. Pretty ridiculous when your truck gets stuck between a wall and table.

Alright, I think I fixed my problem....did you guys manipulate the gamma settings at *all*?

Try moving the gamma down so you can't see the dead island logo (even though it says to set it so you just barely can). it seems to have fixed it for me.

The patch:

Fixed map synchronization when player joins during map load.
Fixed saving player re-spawn position when playing in co-op mode.
Fixed occasional inability to complete sidequests in Laboratory.
Improved enemy awareness (zombies).
Fixed occasional bug with NPC's hands bend (IK)
Fixed spawning enemies in some quests after joining co-op game.
Fixed showing locations on invisible NPCs.
Fixed potential path blocker when quest "Knockin' on heaven's door" was completed before talking to Dominik during the "On the air" quest.
Fixed displaying gather rings near some doors.
Fixed enemy reaction to fire.
Fixed enemies' health and stamina bars in co-op.
Fixed filtering of games in lobby.
Volume of pickup's engine has been increased.
Fixed a number of issues causing game instability.
Fixed the switching of maps upon player death.
Fixed enemies unable to reach the player on some arenas.
Thrown items cannot be picked up by co-op players for five minutes.
Items from freshly opened containers cannot be picked up by other players for five seconds to prevent theft.
Fixed animation glitch when trading with team members.
More than one player can use a ladder at the same time.
Fixed stomping execution animation when target's attacked by a second player.
Fixed the infinite respawning of shooting enemies.

Added information about players requesting pause in co-op.
Fixed A.I. animation glitch after fast-traveling or using a map portal.
Added distinction between quest checkpoints and other types of saves.
Fixed bug causing all inventory to disappear.
Fixed reloading and kicking. After the clip goes in, the reload is a success.
Purna can gain bonus rage from both "Grim Inspiration" and "Inspiring Kick".
Only "Walker" type enemies increase the extra XP of the "Combo" skill from Xian's Survival skill tree.
Health regeneration is disabled during grabs.
Focus on items in shops not changing after selling or buying.
More HP for NPCs in escort missions.
Butcher enemies won't spawn at all during escort missions (hooray!)
Fixed tracking after loading checkpoint.
Increased minimum vertical distance to count a waypoint as passed for NPCs (they no longer wander back-and-forth).

yep fuck these guys.

jesus i'll never understand how gaf is this fucking harsh sometimes

game has been released for less than an hour and some people arent getting that issue. You guys should be thankful they're not doing a console port ffs
 
Some PC shots. Everything on high with 16x AF. I can't seem to force AA from the Nvidia panel so I'll have to play with inspector later. Smooth 60fps using D3DOverrider though for vsync and triple buffering (i5 2500k @4.2ghz, GTX580). Looks nice too though the sparsity of options in the video area is disappointing. Human Revolution spoiled me.:(

Yeah this game is a technical mess so far. Pixelated shadows, tons of chopping that makes Deus Ex look 100% smooth, and ridiculous pop in. The foilage keeps popping in every time I turn around and I even saw a bird pop in while it was flying.

And to top it off I couldn't change any settings while I was playing. Plus, some changes required a restart. Are we in 2002? I don't think I can play this game in its current state, it's giving me more issues than any Bethesda game has at launch.

PC gamers, press Y while you're playing. You all of a sudden turn into a ghost and you can no clip anywhere around the world. Press Y again and you plop back into existence wherever you ghost flew to. I can't believe this made it into the game. PATCH THIS SHIT ASAP BEFORE I ABUSE IT TO DEATH!

Well, I fucking knew better and bought it anyway. I'm getting sound crackling all the time and of course I was right, the fucking FOV is narrow as fuck. How the fuck do you screw this up after fucking it up so badly in Bound In Blood.

Just tried it and you've got to be kidding me. How the hell did they leave this in...

I guess I'm lucky I'm running it fine so far. The only issue I have is that shift-tabbing makes my cursor persist through gameplay. I've found I can make it disappear by alt-tabbing while I'm shift-tabbed.

Anyways, a few shots from the prologue:

I'm getting about 160fps on a GTX 570. Around 220fps with SLI on.
 
I like it so far, it seems like the PC version might be a bit rough around the edges but the actual gameplay part seems interesting. I will dive deeper in tomorrow.

When I got outside on the beach I was getting 60 fps, but when they let me finally run around I couldn't walk 10 feet without it chopping like crazy. Seems like every turn drops me down 20 fps for a few seconds while half the landscape pops in.

Hahahahaha. The game may be good, and it may be running great on my rig, but god, what terrible QA.
