    Thanks for watching!
    I appreciate all of the recent support the past few months… it’s been a ton of fun being able to make more of the content I really want to make.
    I am more of a Dying Light fan, but the Dead Island series is what started that all, so I have a deep appreciation for this franchise and it’s been awesome seeing how far it’s come. Hopefully it’s worth the wait…
    While you shouldn’t expect stream highlights often, it is extremely refreshing for me to make videos without a Script so expect more like this!
    Be sure to share your thoughts about the current state of Dead Island 2!

      In the GI rapid fire questions video, when asked about how they make the zombies different than eachothers,
      Khan claimed that the zombie look is influenced by how they act or move so even without icons and stuff you can tell what the zombie is and how much health it had left.
      That was indirect confirmation of adjustable HUD imo.

    the thing to understand about dead island 2,
    is its probably not gonna be focused on the story, as in the trailer,
    the famous quote "think of it as your own zombie killing playground"
    suggests its all for fun, just go in there and kill some zombies,
    and it looks pretty damn fun,

  • @r.kenney9763
    @r.kenney9763 Год назад +13

    I wonder if they will introduce supernatural abilities since zombies originally came from vodoo (west African folklore). The Autophage or Numen section on the skill selection screenshot could explain the purple Ryan cards with the snake/tentacle arms.

    • @backboardfilms
      @backboardfilms  Год назад +5

      That would genuinely be a very cool route they could take. Dead Island 1 deals with some small supernatural elements so I think it’s a possibility

    I don't think it would be a bad thing to have a little bit of fighting other people, a lot of it would just take away from the zombie game, but without a little bit of it, at least it might get boring

    No human combat can be a major flaw, I don’t see dead island 2 as a zombie only kinda game, l4d is a different story, but the way the game flows, I think no human combat is a bad thing. Besides that the game looks great, I loved the first one and I can’t wait for this one

  • @CrowFuu
    @CrowFuu Год назад +2

    If the cards are replacing skills, does that mean levels only increase base stats?
    Also I wonder what the max level will be. I hope its at least 100, because I LOVE grinding levels. Or maybe add a infinite meta level system like in Borderlands with Guardian Ranks and Paragon in Diablo.

    • @backboardfilms
      @backboardfilms  Год назад

      From what I’ve seen, Fury mode isn’t even unlocked until later into the game, around level 15-20 if I had to guess. But that does depend on what you do as you progress. Game Informer was level 20 around 4-5 hours into the game at the Santa Monica Pier mission. While I don’t think we’ll get to level 100, there’s probably a good amount of grinding to do. Endgame grinding though? Not sure how they’ll handle that

      @@backboardfilms Well they need something like Legend Levels to keep people playing. There is a reason loot heavy games like Borderlands and Diablo have a huge fan base, and its because there is so much to do.

      No parkour. You can run on some rooftops and drop kick. But besides a simple jump button it’s not going to get much more complex then that

    • @backboardfilms
      @backboardfilms  Год назад

      Thank you lol. A lot of the time I do go overly enthusiastic though, sometimes too much and I’ve had to change that. When I read scripts I sometimes “act” too much when it should just be a simple voice over.
      I never really thought about the fact that it can be tiring. This video was highlights from a recent stream, but I can see why people think it’s more genuine!
      This video including the stream was a ton of fun, so if people like that I’ll do it more often.

    @kimpembe4454 Год назад +2

    In my opinion having no human enemies is actually for the better because like you said aswell we are focusing on the infected more rather than having to deal with either one or two human enemy factions which tbh has been done before plenty of times. And for me at least seeing humans stick together and fight the undead without having to deal with other rival factions of survivors is better.
