This is the new trailer for Dead Island: Riptide, and the publishers have clearly tried to come up with something that could match the original (backwards) CGI trailer for the first game.
It’s nice, but it doesn’t work nearly as well.
We previewed Riptide a little while back and came away quite impressed. Let us know what you think of this new video, and whether you’re interested in the game.

it was ok, it was never going to be better than the 1st trailer. we’ve played the game and we know it isn’t that serious or emotional because WHO DO YOU VOODOO BITCH!

Doesnt really come close to the emotion of the first one, as you piece together the story as its played backwards and suddenly realize what is happening. The game is great for what it is, but i really wish it did turn out to be as emotional and story focused as that first trailer.

Not as good as the first trailer for the first game but it does give an idea of what DI2 will be going for. As the first one gave most people the wrong impression so when DI was released they were disappointed by it as they were expecting an emotional game.

I thought this trailer was pretty good. The problem is we’re remembering the excellent trailer for Dead Island 1 knowing that the resulting game was pants, and now, no matter how good their trailers are we’ll expect the worst.

I liked it. Yeah, it wasnt as good as the first trailer, but thats a pretty high bar to reach anyway. As for the game, I loved the first one (even tho, the city section got a bit bogged down with all the sewer runs), so looking forward to this one too.
