New character, city and screenshots revealed for Dead Island Riptide
Posted on 01:08 by Maria Scott
For the fans of the Dead Island franchise, Techland has revealed four
more screenshots from the upcoming Dead Island Riptide game. Along with
the screenshots, we also get introduced to one new character, John
Morgan.
Morgan is described by Deep Silver, the
game’s distributor, as an ex-navy seal whose career in the US Navy did
not take off as he had envisioned. SO instead, he spends his time as a
cook on a military ship, and is a master of hand-to-hand combat.
Interesting combination of skills and back-story for a character about
to be introduced to a game that’s essentially packed with mayhem and
action.
Along with Morgan Deep Silver also shed
light on a new city called Henderson that will be a part of the game.
The city, once a lay-over for the wealthiest of travelers, has now
turned into a desolate land infested with the undead and ravaged by
unforgiving monsoon.
Lastly, the four screenshots. If the
images are to be believed, we should have some high expectations from
the game as far as visuals go. The dynamic lighting and character
detailing in the screenshots look absolutely amazing, almost next-gen.
However, we’re not sure whether these screenshots came from a PC or a
console. Generally PC screenshots tend to be of a much higher quality,
given a desktop’s increased processing power over the consoles. While
the game Crysis looked incredibly stellar on the PC, its console version
did leave a little more to desire. We hope that that won’t be the case
with dead Island Riptide.
The game is set right after the events of the first Dead Island game,
where our four protagonists have had their escape foiled by a tropical
storm. Now they are trapped on the island of Panalai, where they must
relive the entire Zombie apocalypse nightmare all over again, but only
this time, the Zombies have been affected by an unknown mutation.
