Tweak Dead Island: Riptide’s Visuals, Controls And Performance With This Handy Tool
Dead Island: Riptide has not enjoyed the most glowing of receptions. On top of the issues critics have raised, players were unable to play co-operatively online at launch thanks to a bug that was only recently fixed. Then there are all the quirks the original game suffered from — keyboard-related stuttering, a fixed field of view and poor performance — that Riptide has inherited. Fortunately, there is a solution for the latter gripes.
Dead Island Special Edition Includes The Headless Bikini Statue Anyway
Just because Deep Silver apologised profusely for Dead Island: Riptide‘s rather tasteless “Zombie Bait Edition” premium — a severed, bloodied, big-boobed bikini-clad torso — doesn’t mean they actually pulled it from distribution. The statuette is still included in special editions sold in Europe and Australia.
Dead Island: Riptide: The Kotaku Review
There are so many things so wrong with Dead Island: Riptide that I’m not even sure where to begin. Sometimes you have to dig and climb your way through a game before the payoff hits. If you’ve ever played a lengthy RPG, this might be a familiar feeling to you. In the end, you won’t remember that game by its many tedious moments, you’ll remember it by its better ones. Unfortunately for Riptide, those are at best few and far between.
What If We Considered Dead Island’s Severed Torso As Art?

Dead Island Shouldn’t Be The Only Game With A Severed Torso Statue
By now you’ve probably seen the ridiculous bikini-clad severed torso that publisher Deep Silver is packaging with the European/Australian special edition of zombie action-RPG Dead Island: Riptide.
Deep Silver Sorry About Trying To Sell Game With Severed Torso Statue
Following today’s firestorm of negative reactions, game publisher Deep Silver has apologised for the ridiculously tasteless zombie torso statue that they planned to include in one of the collector’s editions for Dead Island Riptide.
Can People Still Get Dead Island In Countries Where It’s Censored? ‘I Hope So,’ Says Developer
Like the original Dead Island, the sequel, Dead Island: Riptide won’t have a German release, because that country is really weird about depictions of killing video game zombies, who technically are not even human and literally are not real. The game’s creative director was asked if he thinks Germans are still getting their hands on the game.
