Video gives first look at Dead Island: Riptide gameplay

A gameplay video of Dead Island: Riptide has popped, courtesy of IGN. The video gives us our first look at the gameplay of the sequel to the tropical island-based zombie-themed FPS.The video shows a mission featuring hub-defence. The player can scavenge around places, like a crashed helicopter as shown in the video, for some weapons, which can then be brought back to their base to defend against incoming waves of zombies.Going by the video, though, turrets found by scavenging can only be placed on specific places. This could feel limiting when your face is being chewed off by zombies. Players also have the option to use mines as a defence against the onslaught of zombies.Another new addition the game will be boats. Boats seem to be the only method of traversal in some parts of the island, following a monsoon. The boats can be boarded by more than one player at a time and can consist of one player manning the motor while the other uses a turret.Earlier this month, it was revealed that the game is getting a collector's edition, which has been dubbed as the Dead Island: Riptide Rigor Mortis Edition. It is available for pre-order for $79.99, which translates to approximately Rs 4,300.Click here for full story
