Believe me, I can understand if you would think that due to its 15+ hour campaign and fifty dollar price tag. And even if the absence of a number after 'Island' didn't convince you, then the availability of a fully fledged collectors edition might lead you astray. But using the delicate verbal dance one must when releasing what is essentially an expansion pack the size of a fully fledged game, producer Sebastian Reichert described Riptide as the 'next installment' of the Dead Island story. Steering clear of any talk that this should be considered a full fledged sequel. This puts Riptide in an awkward position. To like Dead Island: Riptide, you would've had to love Dead Island. I mean really, really, really, love Dead Island."
