Featuring fully remastered and greatly improved versions of the series’ first two instalments, get ready for the ultimate Dead Island experience. The Austrian release has been confirmed to be a two disc set but for Australian purchasers the only option is to digitally download Riptide.ĭue to release in Australia on 31/05, Dead Island: Definitive Edition boasts updated visuals and a complete overhaul of the lighting system for both of the last gen Zombie slaying titles.Deep Silver revisits the iconic bone-crunching terror of the original zombie-slaying smash hit as Dead Island and Dead: Island Riptide shuffle onto a whole new generation of consoles. Deep Silver’s justification behind this decision is more than a little dubious as well, considering evidence to the contrary has been clearly seen in other remastered collection releases. This means that, feasibly, you could buy a second hand edition of the game on PlayStation 4 and only gain access to one-third of the advertised content.

You need a separate menu, you can’t just put two games on disc the same way as on XB1.” When it was pointed out that many games for the PS4, including Deep Silver’s own Metro: Redux, have contained multiple games on one disc, the publisher replied “”We could’ve worded that better. “PS4 discs don’t support multiple games, so there Riptide comes as a download code.”

“On XB1 it is on the same disc,” The publisher stated in response to a tweet from a fan. It should be noted that Retro Rampage won’t come included on either physical release the Xbox One version will, however, include both of the main games. Dead Island: Riptide and the new endless runner Retro Rampage will require a separate download for PS4 owners. The upcoming Dead Island: Definitive Edition physical release for PlayStation 4 will only actually contain the first game, publisher Deep Silver recently revealed on Twitter.
