Dead Island: Five Mistakes That Destroy The Fame (and Even Make You Laugh)

It goes without saying that 'Dead Island' seems to me one of the games more fun this year, who knows how to exploit its full zombie island offering a festival of cuts, group, mass mutilations attacks and blood-smelling dead. But that doesn't mean to make it a product terribly badly completed and done in patchwork.

In addition to famous bugs able to destroy your life as a player (as requiring you to restart the game when it was already quite advanced; terrible for a game as well), in 'Dead Island' have a few wrong decisions and misconceptions that are really fun and serve to increase the feeling that, although Techland have done wrong that does not kill the fun of Z series who wanted to offer.

The type of kicks that not tired

'Dead Island' there is something essential to the narrative of the game: the concept of exhaustion of the character. It is supposed to be him who should mark the moments of tension, the places that, overwhelmed by the zombie Pack, the player must try to keep calm, disarmed and exhausted by the melee.

But there is a problem: that one can spend the entire game giving kicks while it descends even once the fatigue bar. Try to do it at home: If you are able to provide more than 20 kicks followed by air without tiring you, I leave my phone to be waiting for the world Z Guerra.

'Dead Island' and the incredible shrinking man

The technical problem which more is repeated in the game, small but very annoying, perhaps of how coup distances change at whim of 'Dead Island'. The protagonist, and gives the same what choice because it is equal in all, seems to suffer from a strange mutation: the same kick serves to tear down a zombie away from the melee to not to beat him you that already you smell you the breath fresh brain.

But it is not only the length of the leg: also with the arm is difficult to guess the distance of hit when there are no clear rules and the same knife is sometimes Swiss army knife and other woodsman axe.

The clone porn Convention

In one of those details of homage to horror movies cheap that is born, 'Dead Island' placed in a cabin the recording of a porn film of low-budget, obviously, it is not over well. However, it seems virtually all the female inhabitants of the area of the hotel, the first of the game, pertaining to the filming of that movie: all in bikinis tiny, with porn and cloned face measures.

It is obvious that it is an aesthetic decision of the game, which some considered disastrous or not, but it makes it clear that it was necessary to save on design of the characters that populate the island and decision was to always use the same model. This gives rise to a hilarious atmosphere that accentuates even more the tone trash of the game.

Red Bull gives you alas… But not calm the thirst

If you read 'Great overproduction' of Superlópez (and if you have not done so, I do not know what expect to read that stage of Jan), know that the most repeated phrase in the comic is "what is a script girl?". Something they must think the creators of 'Dead Island', which has some tremendous continuity errors throughout the entire development of the game.

One of those who are repeated is the subject of drinks and meals: there are many side the island residents who claim to be dead of hunger or thirst. And, ok, that would be understandable: after all a legion of dead wanders the island with bad grapes, so go for food is an Odyssey.

But 'Dead Island', in a Pirouette worthy of the best comedy of zombies (AKA 'Shaun of The Dead'), offers to us, in the same rooms in which others are dying of hunger, bars cravings and cans of energy drink to galore!

Banoi, where tied the zombies with sausages

Not only the beverage cans regenerate to quench the thirst of 300 infected Islands, but that whole Banoi is a tax haven in which no one gets your money to the Bank. The concept that the dead loose money once you those loads works very well in the area of the hotel (at the end and all, is a region of paradise Deluxe), but has an absolutely great time when we went to look for the Banoi tribe to the interior of the island.

To foster among them the insulation with the world and having not ever came from the jungle, the Indians are absolutely rotten money (and never better).

There are many smaller details involuntarily comedians 'Dead Island', and that you choose the character you choose the inhabitants of the island always you speak as if you were a man, that you start solo and suddenly you realize that carry throughout the game with three companions (which do not help unless you are in multiplayer mode)...

These are bugs and failures of conception of the game that are fun. Others, like you stuck in an area where the landscapes begin to disappear and there is no possible solution (for example, in the jungle, the starry plane), are not nor much less fun. But the game is: do not need to be perfect to get what you are proposing.

'Dead Island': Its Bloodbath Arena DLC Already Has New Date

Already more than one month has passed since 'Dead Island' went on sale in our country, and its Bloodbath Arena DLC is not always available. We should be able to download it at this point, but it has suffered a delay, by which all that we have the Special Edition of this work of Techland we still be able to use the download code for this game mode in which we will again have to fight to survive, this time attending waves of zombies.

We are almost in the middle of October, and unfortunately even a end of it we will be ready for download. We're going to have to go in the middle of November to do so, and that is the new date limit that has been self-imposed by Techland. To see if this time is good, also still another DLC on the way of the campaign of Ryder. Quite interesting also.

By the way, has you skipped already the attainment of the 28 days later? To me yes, a few minutes ago. It is without doubt the easiest of all the accomplishments of 'Dead Island'. We just have to put the game at least 28 days after the first time that we play him. There is no need to comment on the movie buff wink, no?

Dead Island: Fans Present Quirky Film For The Horror Game

In a fan site to the zombie slaughter Dead Island, followers of horror game turned a very funny video, in which the protagonist is the zombies with the hanger to body.

The action-based horror game Dead Island remained an insider's tip in Europe. Who was looking for it on the shelves of the dealer, who looked in vain, because the game not released in these European Countries and could be ordered only on import. The developers simply shy the ESRB and Dead Island would not be brought before the dreaded inspecting authorities.

Elsewhere, the zombie slaughter enjoyed Dead Island of but very popular. So, the title in the English according was even two weeks in the first place. Therefore it is not surprising also those fans of Dead Island have now started a private film project to the game. The video is also great to get an idea of what is involved in the game.

Not without humor have the fans have proven their reference to the horror game here. As protagonists of enthusiasts a comic book they chose Larry. This attempts to avoid the crowds of zombies. After he has strengthened with some energy drinks, he makes the way. Whether the clothes hanger, who is his weapon, it was the right choice, is difficult to assess. As well as in the game also the protagonist of the video must wager are the weapons only. And up to the gun provided in Vista fails Larry unfortunately. The video is also a good example that games cannot become brutalized, but definitely stimulate the imagination of the fans.

'Dead Island' Guide to Getting Most Difficult Accomplishments

I had not hooked me as a video game. After buying it on Monday of last week there has not been a day that has not played 'Dead Island', Adding to date almost 40 hours of gameplay. Too many, but this work has been getting stuck Techland like few others.

Aside from its longevity, is also known for its multiplayer mode. We enjoy the adventure alone, but it is much more rewarding in the company of three other people. Besides we do not seem so complicated, why not say it. But aside from that fact, is characterized as a game likely to be completed to 100% in terms of Achievements / Trophies respect except for a few that maybe we can get a headache. That is why we are going to give some advice as a guide, So you manage the most difficult and you can claim to have completed these challenges.

Before you begin, note that obviously obtained by advancing the adventure or the cumulative rate plan "eliminates 250 enemies with a sharp weapon," because sooner or later succeed. We will focus on those with a greater degree of difficulty and / or hidden.

Achievement: "God of Thunder" (20 G)

"Use a hammer to kill 15 zombies without damage": Input bit complicated if we face zombies our level as we can for any forgetfulness annoy the task (the minimum reset coup achievement). My recommendation is placed above vehicles, or in the area near the hotel from the beginning, right on the first mission Sinamoi when we go for the keys. Here we see palm trees surrounded by stones, creating a sort of strong circular by which hikers can spend. Any of these places we will do, and that the main thing is keep your distance with the enemy for what might happen. Although we can always hit a kick. If not, the best thing, apart from taking into account such areas is to go into a game of someone who has started the adventure, so the zombies almost die of an impact.

Achievement: "Body Heat" (20 G)

"Sets fire to 10 zombies at once": Molotov cocktail will get it very early in the game, but not until the second zone of the city, where we see the best way to get this achievement. In the bottom of the abandoned house on the beach, see a large group of marchers gathered. In order not to miss the shot (must be given to the Molotov cocktail all at once) will launch first major at a "bait of flesh" (need three pieces of meat and a ribbon), and then, with all zombies around him, the Molotov cocktail. We have dinner.

Secret Achievement: "First!" (15 G)

"Kill a suicide with a grenade": When we see the first suicide after a mission near the lighthouse of the first zone of the island can get one of the secrets of the game early achievements. Need not express a grenade, and we also serve a deobomba. This is achieved by combining two deodorants with a ribbon, and its effect is the same as a grenade. Suicide by itself will dictate what your name when we approach them, so for this achievement it is best to throw the grenade or deobomba from a safe distance.

Secret Achievement: "Everybody lies" (20 G)

"Use a large kit to cure an injury of 5% or less": Another secret achievement, and quite atypical. The easiest way to get after buying or getting the first aid kit will be great duels against the bypass zombies as we remove more than 5%. My advice is to get close to areas where fire or toxic substances, making our life down a bit. If we've been through, it will be advisable to eat fruit because it is the least life recovers, and when we believe we have our life to 95% or higher, use the large kit. Worthy of Dr. House.

Secret Achievement: "Do not you dare" (10 G)

"Kill a Attacker with the ability to attack": in the field of battle Sam B.On the third row, we see the ability to "Onslaught". With it an achievement to get a attacker kill this way. Something we can do to reach the city, shortly before entering the church (the first mission of this area). Will not get any complications, and that in itself is the enemy attacker unwise. Charged to us to see ourselves and our tactics will quickly move to either side, for immediately afterwards hit him back. After removing enough life, will the onslaught with Sam B., and ready. Piece of cake.

Achievement: "Ten heads are better than one" (15 G)

"Kill 10 zombies in a row with headshots": another achievement that we can get more easily reach the city this is. When we get a pistol, rifle and / or shotgun, and ammunition enough, it will be recommended in a high (a vehicle, for example), to beat him zombies with knives, and then finish them off with guns a shot directly in the head. It seems to me achieving more affordable than "God of Thunder".

Secret Achievement: "Ah! Spoiled meat "(10 G)

"Kill a butcher with an axe": another secret achievement, and in this case on one of the toughest enemies in the game. The butcher we will see for the first time in the jungle, repeating in more areas thereafter. If we have no ax powerful, we can use other weapons to weaken it before, and then to top it the axe. But be careful, because if it takes too can regenerate your health ... or end up with it in a blink of an eye.

Achievement: "With one good enough for me" (20 G)

"Kill 5 infected followed by a single blow", And reached the ultimate achievement of which we can give a headache. It was one of those who, at first, it seemed more difficult, but fortunately, thanks to a little trick, you will see how not so bad. Assuming that an "infected" is not a "walker" (those infected are characterized by their battle cry, and after that come running towards us like crazy), I recommend will be removed from a well-aimed blow to the head. But it's something we do not always guarantee his death from a single blow. So I recommend waiting for the jungle area in the camp of the bottom of the map, as nearby (in the northwest, right where there is a bunker with a small, ridiculous mission) will see an infected impregnated toxic substance near a van unusable. The trick will be hit with a weapon imbued with fire, because after the coup and subsequent burns will die within a few seconds and we counted as "death with one blow." After that return to base camp, travel to other side and back, generating all the enemies again. We return to this area, kill the same way, repeating the process three more times. You'll never proved so difficult?

Note: on PS3 every one of these trophies will bring us a bronze.

'Dead Island' - Launch Trailer

Day after tomorrow, we saw how Deep Silver offered a digital comic official 'Dead Island', by way of advancement to know more details prior to the disaster and also to know more about the four main protagonists of this zombie invasion in the Banoi island Holiday gentle nothing, if not the opposite. Here you will have to try to survive.

Much time has passed since the project began Techland, topped and attracts our interest with the famous trailer for the hotel. Since then, information was flowing only after obtaining all you need to know so that nothing catches us by surprise. It will not be so crazy as other titles about zombies, nor so simple. The weapons will wear, we few firearms, and the enemies will have different difficulty levels based on their level. Because yes, here's a little touch of RPG and we too can level up and improve according to what parameters of our characters. And if we share the adventure with three others, the better.

'Dead Island' is about to come to light. As noted in its latest, the next September 6 it is available in stores for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Apart of that comic, Deep Silver also shows us the launch trailer for Techland's work. At this point there are not many surprises, and I think that pretty much everyone will know if you care or not to approach the island paradise Banoi, huh? I have it clear: I will take one ticket ... and back.

'Dead Island' Gets Official Digital Comics

Techland's work is little more than a week to come to light in the tents of our territory. 'Dead Island' promise many hours mixing different styles of play: sandbox, FPS, RPG brushstrokes ... All the zombies involved. Something that some of us still love and that others were getting tired all the time. But that there are tastes.

Anyway, to accompany their early release on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, Deep Silver has released an official digital comics, free of charge, which presents the story of journalist Roger Howard, who arrived on the island of Banoi to investigate the illegal exploitation of natural resources of that place. The trouble comes later, to discover something terrible at the hotel ...

There, at the Royal Palms Resort, you will see how the four main characters (Purna, Logan Carter, Sam B. and Mei Xian) in 'Dead Island' does not apparently have nothing in common, although you will find it all very suspicious. The problem is that the comic is ending too soon, because after all is a taster for what lies ahead on 9 September for the three platforms mentioned above. Luck is near.

The official digital comics from six pages has been created by Marvel Custom Solutions, a team of writer William Dailey and artists Jorge Lucas, Juan Santacruz, Diego Olmos, Carlos Rodriguez and Sergio Arino. As for the cover, run by Christian Nauck. You can see the work of the team then but I tell you, is very short, but at least this way we will know a little more to the four main protagonists of the 'Dead Island'.

Dead Island - List of Achievements

'Dead Island' is closer to us. Less than a month of its release in Europe and North America, one of the few things that we had to know was its list of accomplishments, something that not only bring us more points to our profile Xbox Live (or more trophies to our profile Playstation Network), but also for us to see a few more details about the game itself. One of those who had more desire to know was whether he would choose Techland fashion zombie to eliminate more than 53,590, and as discussed below have completely ruled out. Achievements / trophies to eliminate zombies are much more affordable.

On the other hand, we are rewarded for exploring the island, just be savored on foot or by car (we automatically transported to a safe area to another, although this does not count towards achievement, of course.)  'Dead Island' will not miss, though, the fashion of collecting collectibles, having a total of 120. Otherwise, there will be reaching a certain level with your character (up 50), complete "X" missions, or try your co-op. They do not seem very complicated, really.

From the list of achievements is 10 Secrets for a total of 205 G. Moreover, it said, a priori quite affordable, but always better to have them in company than alone.

'Dead Island' and Its Cooperative Trailer - Unity Is Strength

We're just a month's departure 'Dead Island' on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Since I had the chance to prove I've been waiting a few months will be looking forward to the time, but luckily it was about to be put up for sale. Deep Silver has announced that this work Techland, we will see in North America and Europe, thanks to our co-Koch Media, has entered the production phase, and from the team have decided to celebrate by offering a cooperative trailer.

Although it may seem at times, 'Dead Island' is not like the 'Left 4 Dead. There are zombies and survivors themselves, or even share the first-person view, but here we can explore the island freely, and your character will progress in the adventure learning new skills that will make you stronger. And while we can play the adventure alone, grace will do so in company with three other companions.

This new video for 'Dead Island' shows that part, with four players (Xian Mei, Logan, Sam B and Purna) wandering around the island, facing all your fears to try to survive and save as many lives as possible. It will not be plain sailing, but who said life was easy? If the challenge appeals to you, next September 9th we will have in our country.

Dead Island: What If We Go To The Beach? [SDCCI 2011]

Sounds like a plan. We have a tropical island, a beach with clear water, bright sunshine ... But it is a mirage. If Banoi Island is now considered the 'Dead Island' for nothing. Yes, there are unwelcome visitors. People vacationing or business was the area that has been infected losing the use of reason and awakened a desire uncontrollable eating even kill anyone who comes along. Come on, the plan is not as good as it looked.

In this new video for 'Dead Island' see exactly how this part coastline, and somewhat quieter part of the island. Because that is the beginning, because after we go into other areas such as the urban, multi-burning cars and new types of zombies, as they are prone to sacrifice when we approached him.

These eight minutes of actual game serve as the perfect complement to what we discussed last week at our section on "Dead Island: all you need to know" : the way we attacked, our bar strength, the various missions, experience, and of course zombies . Fortunately, the September 9th is getting closer ... guaranteed purchase for me.

'Dead Island', All You Need To Know

'Dead Island' has for many years in development, but has managed to interest people exponentially with its famous trailer, we saw that in the slow motion and backward as a child had fallen from a high floor of a hotel infested by zombies and the few survivors trying to survive, seasoning all with quiet music in contrast to all this agonizing situation. An impeccable job, in short, has many generate renewed interest in this work Techland.

'Dead Island' has planned his departure in our country next September 9 in PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, and that is why, in the absence of a couple of months to put it on sale, we dedicate our section "All you need to know" to collect all the information you know about it so far, and in order to upgrade in the future as new data arrive.

Struggling to survive on an island infested with zombies

No one knows exactly what caused the outbreak of infection (that we will investigate when the game is released to light), but the rate at which it has spread has left the tropical island with few survivors wandering Banoi for it. Some have become stronger in several settlements, but not until we either alone, or accompanied by three fellow humans, we can break all the evil that plagues this paradise now stained red.

Although there will be very clear that entry. This is not a party. He who sees in 'Dead Island' a game where zombies and company (because there are other more powerful mutant) are a mere formality, it is very wrong. 'Dead Island' is not 'Dead Rising' life . At the Capcom franchise we could have fun with the undead, and not posed a big problem, but in this work Techland until a simple zombie we can ruin lives , and never better. We feel helpless.

However, it does has certain similarities with the aforementioned series. Here all the weapons have a level of stamina (and with different characteristics, obviously), getting to deteriorate over time to the point of being completely useless. Luckily we can fix them. Not only that, but we can update or customize by combining different weapons to create a more powerful. All this from any shop of the many that we will find the island. It looks like this:

But even if these guns will continue to facilitate survival without a breeze. After all, to make us feel more vulnerable, we will have a lower bar resistance as hit with any weapon or when running. It will not do either attack or flee like crazy nonsense. Anyway, sometimes if we catch a zombie will have a QTE (Quick-Time Event) to break out of them. But we better not risk and monitor where we stand to avoid unnecessary shocks. Better to eliminate from a distance (we throw our weapons and pick it up again), especially if we see something prone to explode. This will kill more than two birds with one stone.

Dead Island - development sandbox with zombies through

In 'Dead Island' can wander almost complete freedom throughout the tropical island of Banoi. Throughout the adventure we will meet various NPCs (NPCs) that will give us missions that make money and experience. In each tell us, moreover, its level of difficulty, if we do not feel fully prepared to face it. We have several missions active at all times we can see information about them, seeing where we go to meet them. Also, for certain NPCs can trade, so all we can always sell it on or get new weapons for us to make it easier to tackle a mission. And yes, although few, there will be guns.

Although entry may seem a tropical island cannot offer much variety of sites, it is not. Without going further into one of the latest videos we saw the game in question saw a paradisiacal area, and an entirely urban. A contrast that also affect us. For example, in an urban area will have more vehicles on to climb to eliminate the zombies from above, and with little risk of injury.

'Dead Island' is a sandbox, yes, but also has small touches of RPG , the evolution of our characters for the three possible branches of each, with passive and active skills that will make us a little easier to survive. Also the enemies also have different levels, having significant differences between a zombie level 6 on a level 20, for example. If you are level 10, best deal we forget that last. Similarly, other features typical of the genre will also be present here, as the theme of the critics. The time I tried the 'Dead Island' actually scrapped a zombie special one touch in the back thanks to a very critical, very lucky. Although obviously also affects the gun here. Not all are as likely critical character can also improve their own passive ability to increase that probability, and so on.

The tropical island of Banoi is great, but 'Dead Island' will have a detailed map to avoid getting lost and always see the sights. Also we will travel quickly, what 'Fallout' , for the safe zones that we have discovered, and if not we'll always have at our disposal the odd vehicle that go from side to side in a way also safe and can run over zombies of at medium, which always motivates.

As for the players, there will be four, and each will have special skills, identifying in some way with the typical kinds of RPG. So we have to Xian Mei , rather shower with the handling of weapons lightweight, Logan , former football star, Sam B , rapper of the moment with great resistance, and Purna , a character who has not yet been presented officially and not much is known.

Dead Island trailer and Cannes award

And we see it was hype as possible, especially considering that we had a considerable time without knowing of this creation of Techland. This video regained our confidence and we saw about the arrival of 'Dead Island' . Today we can say that less than two months remaining to get their hands on the final version.
