Is Dying Light going to be Dead Island 3?
To keep it simple I´d say no, because when I look at Dead Island and then at Dying Light then I can clearly see a lot of improvement and something more intense than Dead Island. Not that Dead Island is a bad game, but when I look at the sequel Dead Island Riptide then I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed with that. Because Dead Island Riptide is more of the same stuff you encountered in Dead Island and it doesn´t really give you anything new. Oh sure a new character, new skills and a new location but so much of it feels like I´ve seen it before. But not with Dying Light, this game looks like something new!
Both Dead Island and Dying Light have zombies in them, how is that new? The action looks more dynamic, you can move around more flexible and use your surroundings to your benefit when dealing with zombies. Of course there is still this desolate place where you have to survive and you can create weapons by combining items, this is nothing new and I don´t mind that to be honest. But then you see what happens when it gets dark, the zombies turn into something so much scarier and now it really turns into survival horror. You see less and if you´re discovered that will make things very hard on you. It´s the opposite of how things go in the light, that´s where you are faster and you can usually handle yourself pretty good as long as you´re smart about it, but when it´s dark then they´re stronger and faster which means that if you go for a direct confrontation that you´ll most likely lose. Maybe some of you don´t like that but I think it brings a new way of playing to the same game.
Isn´t that what happened in Dead Rising as well? That´s true, in Dead Rising the zombies also got more violent and lethal when it got dark. Except they stayed that way for the rest of the game once that happened, while the zombies in Dying Light are only in their highly agressive state when it´s dark. Also I doubt it has this time anything to do with bugs in the brain, so yeah it´s similar but not exactly the same!
But this isn´t Dead Island 3? No, this game has nothing to do with what happened in Dead Island and you play as different characters as well. It´s easy to see the similarities but that doesn´t make this Dead Island 3, also the title of the game should already tell you that this isn´t Dead Island 3. Spoiler!Besides looking at the ending of Dead Island Riptide I doubt that there will be a Dead Island 3.
