You’ll drive around in his decked out battle van as you make your way through the zombie filled sunny streets of Cali. You are immune to the zombie plague, but Max is not, and he is on a quest to find other people who are immune in order to rebuild society… or just have fun. Yes, Rick Furry is a Nick Fury pun, as the cat iooks battle scarred and is missing an eye. The plot of Dead Island 2 revolves around two new characters, Max and Rick Furry. I honestly hope that they let us run through a zombified E3. You can throw zombies off the Golden Gate bridge, smash them into the Hollywood sign, heck you could even run through swarms of zombies in downtown LA, which Deep Silver was keen to point out considering that’s where E3 is held. The cool part about this new setting is that you get to actually get to visit Californian landmarks. As an east-coast New York/New Jersey resident for life, I have to say their definition of paradise is a bit biased… but I digress. Oh yeah, the game takes place in California now, which the developers said was to further the idea of paradise turned into a hellhole. Heck, all you have to do to see the change in tone is watch the trailer, which shows a sort of pretentious Californian jogger slowly turning into a zombie on a morning run. No, Dead Island 2 is taking a page from the book of Sunset Overdrive and is making zombies fun. This isn’t a game where everyone is somber, sad, and coming to grips with the fact that they probably won’t survive the zombie apocalypse.

Here’s what we thought.įirst of all, the tone of Dead Island 2 is way different from Dead Island 1.

We got a chance to see this game at E3 2014 this year. Zombies! Everyone loves zombies! It’s not like we haven’t played a million and one zombie games in the past few years right? Don’t you want to play another game about zombies!? Deep Silver thinks you do, and that’s why they are making Dead Island 2, the sequel to the questionable hit that made paradise into the apocalypse, Dead Island.
