Thank you :) Direct visual and gameplay comparison of the newly released "Dead Island 2" and the original entry to the series, "Dead Island." This video covers a ton of content for Dead Island 2 - all spoiler free, including various gameplay features, UI elements, and other aspects of the game that have been modified. Dead Island Definitive Edition was used due to it being the only official version of the game available on digital storefronts - though footage of the original release is included. Both games are being played on the PC at their highest graphical settings, with post processing effects like motion blur, film grain, and chromatic aberration disabled.
