Dead Island Definitive Edition
Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide have been completely overhauled utilising Techland‘s next gen engine, adding significant visual and performance upgrades, whilst introducing cutting edge current-generation graphical effects:

·        Higher Quality Textures Game textures have been redone in a higher resolution and the level of quality has been improved across the board

·        Photorealistic new lighting system The lighting system in the game has been vastly improved, providing a much more realistic look, enhancing the stunning tropical setting

·        Physically based shading The introduction of new physically based shading techniques due to the latest iteration of the Chrome Engine means a higher quality look to the game models and objects as they react in a more realistic way to various lighting conditions

·        Image quality enhancements via anti-aliasing The addition of more sophisticated anti-aliasing means that console players can now experience Dead Island without unsightly “jaggies“ – meaning a much cleaner look throughout

  •        Improved-quality game models and geometry assets All major geometry assets (for example: NPCs and character models) highlight a marked quality increase
  •        HBAO and motion blur effects The introduction of Horizon-based Ambient Occlusion  adds an extra layer of depth and realism to the world

Through a better implementation of object shadows, while the all-new motion blur effects will provide a much more cinematic feel to the game experience.

  •        Updated game UI Providing a more consistent look between both Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide. Increase to equal quality level for seamless game experience.
  •        The Current-gen Console Experience The Dead Island Redux Collection will also of course take advantage of the latest console features such as Online 4 Player Co-op, PS Vita Remote-Play (PS4), Share-Play (PS4), streaming and recording
  •        Power Fists Power-up And last but not least, The fan favourite unofficial PC mod will also now be added to both products. Punch your way through the mayhem with craziest power-up ever!

Features at a glance:

  •        Retro look meets melee-based combat
