Cover Reveal – Dead Island 2

After nearly a decade in development, Dead Island 2 finally saw the light of day earlier this year. Since its initial reveal in 2014 (just a few years after the original franchise was founded), many have been eagerly awaiting this much-anticipated sequel. That’s why I went to Nottingham, England, to go hands-on with the game for more than seven hours. Soon, I will share everything that I have learned. Dead Island 2 takes over this month’s cover. Game Informer. 

Game Informer Alex Van Aken, video editor, visited Dambuster Studios, Nottingham, to play Dead Island 2 and talk to the director. We also learned from the lead narrative about the reasons that a title with “island”, in it’s name, is set in Los Angeles. Some of the team’s audio engineers used BBQ shredder claws on watermelons to make the sickening sounds that drive each kick, punch, and thunk within the unique F.L.E.S.H. system. system. We talked about pop culture inspirations, and why Dambuster Studios is aiming to – above all else – make zombies fun to kill and be killed by. 

This is just a small sample of the contents that Issue 352 offers this month.

Brian Shea went to Japan’s Super Nintendo World. You can read his thoughts as well as see his photos. This video gives a good overview of Mortal Kombat 9 as it relates to NetherRealm’s history. It also shows how Google Stadia went wrong. We chatted with the lead of Venba about the importance of South Asian cuisine within that game. We also spoke with Witchfire developers about their shift towards a more open world style.

Blake Hester and two Tango Gameworks lead dancers walked through Tokyo to discuss how this famous city was transformed, warped, as well as Ghostwire: Tokyo.  Forspoken was a chapter I played in New York City and San Diego.
