The next level is Press Factory Zone, but Game Informer's time was up before they played it.Sand Sanctuary Zone, which is similar to Sandopolis Zone.Boss battles are some of Game Informer's favorite, some of them get difficult.You carry Trip throughout the level, unable to use Amy's hammer.

Like Speed Jungle, there's an Amy-specific 'Episode Amy' zone where first you break through fruits and robots before finding Trip.

Lagoon City, an underwater ruins zone.

Act 2 is a haunted, ghost theme, with a boss similar to Metropolis Zone's boss. The zone transistions to a dark and stormy atmosphere. The zone took nine minutes to beat but there is only one Act.

Sky Temple Zone, a new zone inspired by Sky Sanctuary.

There is also LEGO Sonic and Eggman skins. Iizuka is coy about if there's customization. There's a shop where you trade medals for custom parts for head, body, arms, legs, accessories, colo, pattern, and an undisclosed 'prototype' option. More challenging than the regular Speed Jungle levels.

Speed Jungle Zone has an 'Act Sonic', where Fang harasses you throughout the level.

Exploration is a big part of the level design.

Games feels just like the classics, more so than Sonic 4 and even Classic Generations and Forces.

Game Informer didn't get to play the co-op or other multiplayer.

It really is about what you’re equipping, and what you’re doing with it.” Hopefully, this is able to m ake Dead Island 2‘s character progression a bit more unique.

While news about the upcoming sequel has been either non-existent or worrisome, the studio over at Deep Silver has confirmed that the zombie-driven game is still in development with one simple tweet. Khan says that this makes the “game different for each player. Despite numerous cancellation rumors and changing of hands, Dead Island 2 may not be as dead in the water as many originally thought. But Dead Island 2 seems to be changing this with its new take on the skill tree. This made the characters interesting, but didn’t give players much freedom. But even with what they’ve said, it seems to be a pretty big jump from the first game.ĭead Island starred four distinct characters who each had their own play style and skill tree. And Worrall even says that “it sometimes pays off, it sometimes goes horribly wrong.” Unfortunately, the pair don’t go into too much detail about these skill cards. This new skill system seemingly allows you to be pretty creative with your skill set. Worrall explains that the skill deck is a “collection of slots that represent all kinds of different abilities.” The cards are easy to swap “on the fly,” he adds. Both Worrall and Khan agree that Dead Island 2‘s skill deck is its most “exciting” addition.
