Is Dead Island 2 'Dead World'?

not sure if happy the horrid fake aussie accent won't be present, or saddened by the fact it won't take place here

Filed a US trademark? There's a US comic called Dead World that's been around for years, and still occasionally publishes under that name.

I don't understand how 1 million sales is that much really. If a game is sold for £40 then sales 1 million copies = £40 million (as we all know) but then that money has to be divided up amongst development, publishing and platform owners (Microsoft and Sony) take a percentage for the rights to publish on the platform. So how is 1 million copies a good number of copies to sell????

The game was quite hard for me to find over here (Northern Ireland) in stores, so i had to revert to Ebay. Cost me 335, but got a strategy guide with it, so was a good buy. Enjoying the game, haven't played it in a while, and wont play it for a while longer with the behemoth that is Skyrim due next week. But its a good game, once my friends get it we will be on it kicking some zombie ass. I'd like to see a dead island 2, but not for 2 years or so

Dead Island has been my game of the year. I absolutely loved it from start to finish. It didn't compromise on difficulty and felt properly like you'd expect a zombie outbreak to feel. And slicing those bastards up just never got old. I'd like a sequel by the end of the day please.

The one million is the first week sales in America, worldwide it did at very least 2 million sales in it's first week, demand was very high for Dead Island in it's first fortnight on sale, it was sold out almost everywhere (online anyway), looks like it's gonna be a Borderlands type sleeper hit.

Anyone watch Zero Punctuation this week. Looks like it's Dead Galaxy next.

oh christ don't do it. The resident evil film franchise went down this route and those films are worse than watching pigeons eat sick

I just hope they sort out the characters roles in the next one... was pointless being a gun specialist when 99% of the time you had no ammo

apart from that it was a good game

I thought it was going to be Dead Sea.

Floating in the middle of the ocean, fighting off zombie sharks, jellyfish, submarines and Willy's (the whale and it's spawn).

"Go Willy go! Become a zombie!"

Brings a tear to my eye.

I enjoyed the game a lot, got bored after about 6 weeks but it was good while it lasted, sold it the other day.

what are you babbling about? This article is about a sequel to Dead Island. A game. a sequel to a game, which would also be a game. Its not about making Dead Island into a film and then slaughtering it a little bit more with each successive incarnation.

Emm I live in Belfast and it was pretty easy to get a copy.

Excellent! I'm very happy to see this. I enjoyed Dead Island FAR more than I thought I would. I'm actually hoping they come out with some DLC to continue the story soon.

Good point. I remember ready that comic when I was a kid. Maybe they'll have to buy out the trademark or something.
