TGH Writes: "It seems that 1.01 patch was just the beginning so fear not Dead Island addicts! It seems a patch will soon be available on the platform of your choice."

Great to see they're working hard to fix these issues

FanOfGaming5375d ago

Oh it sure does need plenty of them

dangert125375d ago

@ferelinstincts

I disagree with you. This has clearly being rushed out and shouldt of been on sale in this state god knows how it past pc/and console standards every single indie game i have played has been in a better state while its nice to know their fixing it that should't be working this hard after release to fix something the just released its an utter joke buy the time the patches come console owners won't have or not as much

DaCajun5375d ago

Yea but most indie games are less than 500MB and not open world like this. Also did you moan and complain this much about Fallout 3 and New Vegas because I've had just as much of an experience with glitches on those two as I have had so far with Dead Island. But nothing game breaking yet for me. The game is still extremely fun especially in co-op.

"But nothing game breaking yet for me. "

The patch killed many peoples' saves.....You can turn around and look on the official forums.

AndyLunique5375d ago

From what i've been hearing its quite needed.

solar5375d ago (Edited 5375d ago )

patch us an option to turn off always on mics on PC!!! so stupid.

MARKUS_MAX1MUS5375d ago

or they could change it so the bloody voice actually comes through the headset?

solar5375d ago

no my mates and i use ventrilo. we dont want echoes.

MARKUS_MAX1MUS5375d ago

they could just implement a push to talk feature.

Premonition5375d ago

I'll play again when the patch is dispatched because ive been to lvl 10 about 4 times now and it never saves and bumps me down between lvl 7-8

Crazyglues5375d ago (Edited 5375d ago )

you just have to switch the game from multi-player to single player in the options and it will save fine...

I've lost progress either way with the PS3 version

TheXonySbox5375d ago

cuz ps3 always gets the worst ports, always have a 360 on hand to buy your multiplats.

Crazyglues5375d ago

@ MysticStrummer

Well I'm sorry to hear that player, because I have done this and it worked for me... so I don't know what to tell you...

I did do the update when it came out 1.1.0 -but it sucks that people are having this problem because it's a pain in the a-- to have to do the mission all over...

-but since I went to options and changed multi-player to single player, and then when I finish playing I just hit triangle and it saves... worked for me, so I just thought it would help.. sorry if it's not working for you, that sucks..

Thank god they are trying to fix it as it's unplayable at the moment. I have seen zombies flying, cars disappearing, characters freezing in one spot, loss of save data and the voice chat is also broke almost always online, i'm unable to join anyone but one person for some reason and last but not least whenever I do get online it crashes my PS3. Without a doubt one of the buggiest games I played on PS3, great game but it's ruined by the bugs.

Dead Island 2 devs believe a Dead Island remake would be a “mistake”

We might be in the age of remasters, but it doesn't look like the Dead Island 2 devs believe remaking the original game is the right move for the series.

but remakes require far less effort for these companies and they can still charge $70 for them!

Feel like everyone makes fun of Skyrim re-releasing like 18 times yet applaud these remasters elsewhere. Would much prefer NEW games

CrimsonWing691172d ago

Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!

Dead Island's 2011 reveal is still the best game trailer of all time

Josiah Motley of KnowTechie writes: "I love video game trailers. While I don’t believe they are an integral part of a game’s success (especially these days), there’s something about a well-produced trailer that really just reminds me why I like video games."

Also the most misleading of all time

SDuck1583d ago

How so? Because it focused on a family that you see dying? (innocent question, haven't gotten a chance to play any Dead Island game yet)

aconnellan1583d ago

More the tone of it - the tone of the trailer suggested something personal and dramatic, but the game was very much reminiscent of Left 4 Dead in that you were just there to kill zombies and nothing more

Ashby_JC1583d ago

You play as a singular character there is no family involved at all in the game. Still a stand out trailer that I remember clearly from years ago.

Fntastic1583d ago (Edited 1583d ago )

Did you not like the game?

I remember going in expecting a L4D style of game, but the excessive camera swaying honestly made me feel ill, and it's rare for a game to do that to me, still don't understand why the need for anything other than maybe a subtle slight camera movement when doing melee attacks etc. Other than that i didn't really find the game that good. In all honesty i had more enjoyment out of DNF, and i know many people crap on that game.

BioShockGX1583d ago

I still remember this misleading controversy

RickRoland1583d ago

It’s the music. It’s perfect. I agree with this for sure, it is well choreographed….unfortunately the game didn’t live up to the trailer.

brewin1583d ago

Maybe not, but it was still a good game. I liked how they expanded things with Dying Light, but Dead Island was a great first attempt! I really liked all the Easter eggs and homages to other horror franchises sprinkled throughout. Sure it was a little cheesy and over there top, but it was a good happy medium between Far Cry and Fallout with zombies.

EmperorDalek1583d ago

I'm gonna heavily disagree with that.

CrimsonWing691583d ago

Have you ever seen any of the MGS 3 or MGS 4 trailers? Those blow this out of the water for me.

TricksterArrow1583d ago

They require prior knowledge of the franchise, tho. You show this trailer to anyone, and I mean ANYONE, and they can understand what's going on and relate to the family dynamic almost immediately. No need to know who is Snake, or Fox Hound, or Raiden, or Metal Gear...

Top 10 Xbox 360 Games That Need to be Backward Compatible

Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."

Max Payne 3 needs to be on that list.

autobotdan1797d ago

The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago

Vits1797d ago

Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.

MetalProxy1797d ago

Wait everything isn’t BC? You guys act like it is lol

porkChop1797d ago

Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.

ApocalypseShadow1797d ago (Edited 1797d ago )

Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.

And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.

As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.
