Riptide thankfully started off with a nice recap of the events from the first game from beginning to end. At first I had my doubts about this title given I couldn’t suffer through the first game long enough to beat it. The fastest way to move through this is to side-hop or back-hop through it.Dead Island: Riptide did well on PC, but does that translate to console?ĭead Island Riptide is a sequel to Dead Island released back in 2011. They cannot be upgraded, they can be picked up instantly, and all of their different types from the lowest level to the highest are for sale from the start. There's a weather system which alternates between sunny or suddenly raining.They can be uninstalled and moved, but only to set locations. Minigun emplacements have limited ammo.Defend a location against hordes of zombies with progress measured by horde strength on your HUD. Cancels falling damage, can miss, and sometimes has lots of ending lag. Your character will lunge at them and strike them with their body. From a high enough position against a zombie close enough, a prompt will appear on their head. New special attack: attack from above.Each type is outlined as you progress in Dr. Firearms seem to have new bash options which are activated by the same button as Spot.New types of mods: Area of effect mods.There are now individual weapon proficiency skills to level up which give a unique bonus at each level.Storage is now available early in an NPC named Henry.If zombies latch on, QTEs may have to be performed to defend oneself. Has a boat boost option which is a limited, regenerating resource. Aim at something and spot it to highlight it to others, such as a location to move to, a ladder to climb, an NPC to talk to, or an item to grab. Applies a shock effect, tasing enemies, replacing the debilitating capacity of the discontinued plaguebearing military knife. New firearm: Bolt-action and semi-automatic sniper rifles.Striker fire firearm mods are now called Hooligan.Multiplayer player icons and health bars are colour-coded, instead of everyone being red.Each character seems to get a Charge skill in the Combat tree, a Spring skill in the Survival tree to get up faster, and a group fury skill in the Fury tree which unlocks the ability to optionally activate a team-based fury effect when one furies. The characters' skill trees seem to have changed in terms of their order and additions.It seems that items that were once exclusive in Dead Island are now part of the vanilla content in DIR. Bad netcode may cause a throwable to be thrown at one's feet to other players while otherwise acting normally to the thrower.Desynch causes one of the players involved in the desynch to have their own set of enemies. The desynchee will otherwise play normally, not being able to tell that they have desynched until they must enter a red ring where all players must gather, which becomes impossible. Their body continues to perform some last motion, like running continuously into a wall or idleing. Desynch is when in one person's game, another player character does not move properly. Seems to occur consistently if not-the-host operates a vehicle. There's an option to import characters, but it doesn't seem to import items.There don't seem to be developer's craft weapons anymore.The four original characters return + one new character: John Morgan, the hand-to-hand specialist.There are new types of ammo: harpoon, taser/stun gun, nailgun, and launcher.Medkits and throwables no longer fill inventory slots.
