![]() To be slightly reductive, it feels like Borderlands meets Left 4 Dead, with the many NPC interactions being a basic quest run-down then a repetitive one-liner until you have completed them. The fellow island residents serve as non-playable characters (NPCs) for you to carry out missions like finding their medication, food supplies, ammunition, delivering messages to family or clearing out areas of infected from potential safe havens. Once you are on the resort the game truly opens up and reveals itself to be a loot-driven, quest-based role-playing game with horror packaging. The story is structured over a further eighteen chapters split between four main acts and each of these sees you spend more time in a different location on the island. You begin in the Prologue set in the hotel – which acts as a basic tutorial – and then escape to the main resort area, whilst taking instructions from a mysterious voice over the emergency intercom system. As a group of survivors they are referred to as ‘the Immune’ as they seem to not be affected by the disease and their/your goal is to eventually find a way off the dreaded island. Of the four, which include the aforementioned rap star, Chinese undercover agent and a former cop, I chose Logan, the disgraced football player whose back-story suggests he inadvertently murdered someone in the past and his specialty is throwing weapons. “Got the time, mate? Don’t mind the rotting flesh – allergies.“ Choose your character wisely – ex cop or tough guy rapper, perhaps? It’s a terrific opening and fully sets the scene as well as gives little moments for the playable characters to appear. Not for long though as we see the infection quickly spread amongst the holiday-makers as pandemonium erupts and the living dead nightmare begins. The cinematic cut-scene that plays before you have even chosen a character is a first-person perspective of a guest at the luxury hotel on the fictional Island of Banoi (apparently located off the east coast of Papua, New Guinea), during the midst of a rap gig and full blown party. It certainly makes an impression early on. Unfortunately, I have had to make do as a solo survivor so I can’t comment on the experience playing this with friends although I can imagine it would be tremendous fun sharing the zombie-killin’ between chums. Having now signed on for Playstation Now before its discontinuation and mergence with Sony’s Playstation Plus tiers, it seems the perfect time to delve into this series (of which I admittedly missed out previously).ĭeveloped by Polish studio, Techland and published by Deep Silver, the game is a first-person open-world survival/action horror with a focus on melee combat and can be played with up to four players cooperatively online. Released in May 2016, I am still considering this as a retro review on the basis that the original game is from two generations ago and even this remaster is nearly six years old. So, in this particular section, I will take the time to play a game of the past which could range from the NES era all the way to the Xbox 360/PS3 generation and share my thoughts with a rating out of five.ĭead Island: Definitive Edition is a remaster of the original 2011 multi-platform game bundled together with the downloadable content and is a much cleaner, improved version of the game – making it the ideal way to experience bludgeoning the undead in a tropical paradise. In fact, I am definitely guilty of spending many hours playing the old timers as much as the shiny new stuff. And, sometimes you simply want to delve into an old favourite or a series you have heard great things about but never played. There are so many games to choose from these days and different platforms that it can be overwhelming deciding where to start. ![]() ![]() If it does not help then please try a different USB drive.Gorgeous remaster and tech issues fixed – welcome back to Banoi, folks! If there are other USB drives connected then you can also try to disconnect them. If you get this message when attempting to load your saved game from USB, make sure that you have copied your saved game onto the USB drive. Using the Saved Data Utility on a PlayStation 3, the saved game can be copied to and from a USB drive and accessed in DISE from the main menu. DISE supports saves for PlayStation 3 out of the box. ![]()
