Player-Character is a Vampire (no Reclection in Mirrors)

[Blue]

So.. i have played it now for a while and seen lots of different Mirrors.

What i have realized is, that none of these Mirrors is reflecting the Player-Characters.

So..... time to spin a Story around them;
They are Vimparies... and thats why they are immune to Zombie-Bites.




But seriously; where are the working Mirrors?
And its not just that the Characters are invisible for those Mirrors, the reflected Objects themselfs are destorted in weird Ways, like melting into other Objects, Walls and Floors and what not.
Far older Games have very good working Mirrors, so how did *Dead Island 2* end up with these "..broken.." Mirrors?

I guess they just didn't consider this little detail important or they forgot about it, idk.

Well.. its not that ' little ' by the amount of Mirrors that they have in the Game.
If they would be just somewhere far in the Background it would not be that noticeable, but there are multiple Mirrors in just one house alone.

But i have to say, its kinda funny to compare the actual Room with how the nearest Mirror displays the "..Reflection..".

In one Room there was a Bed, with a little Blood on it. In the Mirror tho, instead of the Bed, there was a huuuuge puddle of Blood and no Bed, like someone had some sort of Party, spilling Blood all over the Place.
What happened is basicly, that in the Mirror Furniture and Textures of the Wall and Floor had merged with the Blood Texture.

Ah that Bed scene with the Blood fountain.

Good old classic Horror-Movies.

In the walk in wardrobe of Emma Jaunt's house, I think, there is a counter, but in the mirror it isn't there.

Games from 20 years ago had working mirrors. Anyone remember Doom 3?

That Video,.. XD ... can it be that the Developers of *Dead Island 2* where simply still haunted by that Scene and this is the reason why they gave their Characters no reflection?
:P

Robocop also has no mirror reflections.

as i already mentioned,.. if they would be far away or very dusty or visually broken... it wouldnt be a problem from a design-perspective.

But in *Dead Islands 2* case, they are "..broken.." in 2 weird ways:
- Not showing Character Reflections
- They do Reflect; Destortion of reflected Furnitures, Walls, Floors and Ceilings

Do the Mirror's in RoboCop reflect and Deform the Furniture too? XD

Modern devs are pretty lazy when it comes to attention to detail nowadays compared to back then so it's no surprise they miss a detail like that.

Nah, there are too many daytime moments where you'd burst into flames if you were a vampire.

Except if you take a specific Version.
"We dont burn, we are sparkling!"
:P

Even the Lord of Vampires, Dracula himself, didn't burst into flames.

No reflection, nothing but a lie. It feels like I'm actually playing a game with all sort of artifacts.
