Since Ed's play session at Gamescom, Dead Island has been delayed again from an initial February release date until April 28th, 2023. The original Dead Island was not the world's greatest game by any stretch, but it was a pretty fun time in co-op, and I'm fine with simple, violent action games that can be undertaken with pals.

The two new things shown during the showcase were the various pieces of tat to be found in the collector's edition, and a staged demonstration of Dead Island 2's "Alexa Game Control" functionality through which you can perform certain in-game actions with your voice. It does look particularly gory though, with every punch, wallop, slice sloshing blood around like every zombie is a water balloon waiting to be popped. Dead Island 2 is set in an LA of obnoxious characters, many zombies, and much melee combat. That trailer doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know.

Early in tonight's Dead Island 2's showcase, a character in a live action segment makes a self-referential joke that live action trailers set unreasonable expectations for video games. Dead Island 2 is the kind of ride with warning signs saying people at the front will get wet that only makes everyone crowd to the front more. ![]()
