don't think it has split screen on any version.

The game is preloading on Steam now, ~6650MB.

Erebus · Sep 1, 2011

If anyone is interested in buying Dead Island from GMG, please PM me for a referral link.

LProtag · Sep 1, 2011

I wonder if there will be a decent amount of people playing on PS3. My laptop handles games like trash.

bubnbob · Sep 1, 2011

KMart is giving out $20 coupon with this game. Can't wait

e_i · Sep 1, 2011

Will there be a preload for this on Steam?

I wonder if Space Marine will too?

derFeef · Sep 1, 2011

Preloading? Send me my key, GMG!

Speculator · Sep 1, 2011

Just bought it on GMG..so pumped. Next week is going to be crazy with gaming for me with this, Space Marine, finishing Deus Ex, and continuing the Red Orchestra beta...if I only had the time.

cleveridea · Sep 1, 2011

this game is sponge worthy

well my equivalent, which = take a day off work for release

Prodigal · Sep 1, 2011

Just bought off GMG, hope it doesn't suck!

Good news, everyone!

Dead Island PC Is Not A Port
http://ps3.mmgn.com/News/Dead-Island-PC-Is-Not-A-Port

When commenting on the graphics engine one member of the team said "you should see this on the PC, it looks amazing".

That tidbit of information wasn't enough so I asked the team member if the PC version was a port or a standalone release. He stated that the team started two versions right alongside each other - the PC and the console version.

Oh, Goody! These are great news. This entire week, the topic always was on the first page or the second one.

Always a shame in co-op games. Would be an instant buy if it did.

If it gets modded into PC version I'll buy it then.

I've heard that before. Let's watch and see. I'm still hoping that's the case

Another tidbit

-Game contains a NewGame+ after you complete the main story.

-You keep your levels, items, money and the enemies are tougher.

Is the coop instant drop in drop out, and how does it handle campaign and mission progress between players?

Does anyone have any info about this?

GotchaForce · Sep 1, 2011

Nice about newgame+!

The co-op since the beginning has said to be drop in and out. How it handles progression though I dunno.

The M.O.B · Sep 1, 2011

Ledsen said:

It is Drop in/Drop out, and you go through the campaign together whenever you want.

Not sure about anything else.

bluedeviltron · Sep 1, 2011

darkressurection · Sep 2, 2011

So, I uhhhh..... kinda just blind bought this because that GMG sale was gonna end and I have a passing interest in it. Soooooooo, hopefully it turns out good, gonna watch that 20min gameplay video later because I actually have NO idea what the game looks like.

_woLf · Sep 2, 2011

It's probably been answered before, but will the Arena DLC that comes with gamestop's version ever be added to the normal versions, like the one from GMG?

Stitch · Sep 2, 2011

When I've ordered from GMG it did say that it comes with the bloodbath arena DLC. I can't check if thats still the case because they decided to regionlock the Dead Island site...

wilflare · Sep 2, 2011

on GMG, it does say the Bloodbath Arena DLC will be given out once it comes out a week after the game's release

Zozobra · Sep 2, 2011

I've never done the whole Steamworks thing before. From what I gather, I get the serial number from GMG but will that be on the day of release or beforehand? I'm just wondering for purposes of preloading and whatnot.

G_Berry · Sep 2, 2011

I hope the Aussie version doesn't end up being some shit "low violence" version

Nah, we would have found out by now

Yerolo · Sep 2, 2011

Just bought this via GMG for $34 as the 20% code runs out today. I have been interested in this game since seeing that haunting debut trailer.

L4D series never interested me tbh, but I do like zombie games and I love open world games, and this ticks both of those checkboxes

Weenerz · Sep 2, 2011

No PC port and New Game+ make this game so much better in my eyes, developers that actually get it.

GhostRidah · Sep 2, 2011

New game+ sweet, now all I need is people to play co-op with, if anyone on pc needs another let me know.

PhoenixSFT · Sep 2, 2011

I pre-ordered it but was still a little wary, but when I saw it had new game+....I swear, every developer should incorporated NG+.

Teknoman · Sep 2, 2011

Man...if I wait on reviews i'll probably miss out on the sale. Blind bought Deus EX due to hype and GMG sale (turned out awesome of course)...but i'm still on edge about Dead Island.

NEW GAME PLUS=AWESOMENESS

Resistance 3 has it too. It made replaying Dead Space 2 a joy. Developers take note....

If anyone needs a referral link, let weenerz know, he likes money.

That video sold me on it, gorgeous and fun.

CaLe · Sep 2, 2011

Just purchased it off GMG, don't disappoint me Zombie Head Bashing game.

PS: What's the 20% code everyone is talking about ?

NervousXtian · Sep 2, 2011

So, I really want this game on console... but that $34 GMG price is tempting me something crazy.

It screams console to me, and I primarily game these types of games on console.. someone tell me what to do!

wilflare · Sep 2, 2011

guess we have enough GAFfers to play co-op together

at Xtian, get it on PC, join the master race

EDIT:
20SUM-MERSA-VINGS 20% off any game
