Dead Island Riptide Preview

G4 has put together a preview for Deep Silver's Dead Island Riptide, a quasi-sequel to the original zombie-filled hack'n'slash Dead Island, based on a presentation they witnessed. Here's a little something to get you started:
Back to the church, we find out team getting through the swamp with little effort as they deliver the chain gun to the second level of the crumbling building. As one member goes to put gas in the water pump, our main character fortifies the church from the coming zombie attack. Chain-link fence located around the parameter waits to be installed in each of the openings. The developers suggest laying the roll of fence right in front of the doorway for the zombie to trip over.

To help you and the survivors in this small but now fortified church, you need to pump out the water to reach lower parts of the church. Unfortunately, the only thing standing between you and the undead just happens to be the water. Think of it like Jell-O salad with undead bodies instead of bit of pineapple. As our guy runs around hacking away on the ground, our friend takes to the second story chain gun to make short work of those zombies.

To help with a little ground control, you now get mines to toss on the ground as a booby trap or as a way to get rid of a bad situation quickly. The crafting table returns with more items to create and modifications for the items you already know and love.
