whats the difference with riptide edition?

[Frostblunt]

I couldn't figure out what is the difference. Riptide seem to have negative review more than this one.

[νέήόм_şήάķέ_01]

Graphics and bugs, thats all I can say atm!! Graphics in Definitive Edition is definitely is something you should be well welcomed but a lot of bugs got hammered in this game a lot so idk, I won't expect if anyone has got extreme game breaking bugs like me buts thats just my opinion!!

[Frostblunt]

the difference? is it that riptide is supposed to have better graphic but has more bugs?

[DvorNYAk]

Better graphics, not got any of extremely bugs. And Riptide is the continue of DI, like a "first" chapter of book. Deffinitive edition is way cooler. Like Console effects, but on PC with way better graphics. I dont know, its way cooler to me than the original edition.

Riptide doesn't have better graphics...

And do you mean the stand alone "Dead Island: Riptide" or the "Definitive Edition"? Because "Riptide Edition" is not a game.

yeah thats what I meant. So both are the same game but with additional feature in Riptide? or Riptide is what happen in the story after the first one end?

[Overseer]

Riptide continues the story and you can import your characters from Dead Island. But it is a stand alone game and you can skip Dead Island completly to play Riptide.
After you have played Dead Island you will notice that Riptide is mostly reused assets from Dead Island with a new character, new maps and a couple changes like new skills and more firearms to use. Generally a fun experience if you liked Dead Island but nothing groundbreaking new.

[Frostblunt]

ok so if riptide continues the story I guess It's worth it to play both at the price they are selling at the moment.

I'm not sure why people simply aren't answering your question but instead just confusing you. People are making it sound like Riptide is some enhanced version of the original. Riptide is the sequel. It's part 2.

Riptide is like Dead Island 1.5

Yeah , most comments in this thread raise more questions than giving any answer. I know I don't contribute anything either. But I came here to get information and got even more confused. People these days can't even answer a simple question.

Same here, I came to know a little more about Riptide since I have only played the regular game and people are stupid and confusing.

riptide is another game graphic is pretty good get both definitive edition i like first game more... riptide have lot islands and they are very all over the place witch means u will spend lot time running all over the map and with constant ecounters

[Welcome to Idiocracy 2023]

Riptide is continuing the story of the first Dead island game. It is like Dead Island 1.5. A few new features, same engine. Think of it as a stand alone expansion. You can also import your Dead Island character into Riptide but NOT vice versa.
Always play Riptide AFTER finishing the main game. The beginning of Riptide will be a spoiler without playing the main game first.
