What about the entire cast of friends without benefits at the trailer for one of the cast members. Also the poster gives off major The Community vibes.
Also when you come back to Emma jaunts at one point Jacob will say alright wheres the last of us and laugh.
I just find it crazy Emma was about to shoot us for killing Michael just for her to bury him next to the dog ☕️
Damn the Tmartn diss feels a little like foul play its been a long time i dont eatch him anymore but just let things pass but great video.
The slogan on the side of the City Buses is “we’ll get you to your Final Destination”
There’s a graffiti in the sewer with a teeth and open door meaning a nice nod to Trevor Hendersons Smile Room
They do indeed speak which is creepy cuz I didn't think that was a thing. When I was in the first part of the game and I was in one of the mansions with my flashlight going room to room I heard someone say helppp meee. And I turned around and it was a female zombie and my hair stood up on my arm.
1:45 But he’s changed now. He won't do that anymore.
They need to add new game plus and the countryside stuff we seen in the demo Also i wanna see more of my fav character other then sam B and that was john i wanna see him again in the games
The table in the house while you make your way to emmas is almost identical to the Baker family's in resident evil 7.
Is the song Lena del Rey?
What about the I got a zombie army and you can't harm me trophy referencing Sam B's song
In my travels on dead island I've heard the bursters say things like
Let's be friends (found this to be rare dialogue)
Help me(common)
Sorry(common)
I'm lonely(rare)
Hi(also common)
These are just some I've yet to hear them say anything else
The badge show is an Easter egg as well. There was a show in 2002 called “the shield” starring Michael chiklis.
The last “easter egg” was literally just a random key to an average weapon
That Romero tribute could also be a nod to John Romero. It would help solidify it, if there was a Carmack, one.
It's sad to see, that a game have 8 years to do some shi*Easter eggs. Where is such kind of Jason machete or like the skulls you can find to be a developer666 craft. It's really sad. More than 8 years for a piece of boring shi*…. Where is the sad moments like DI 1. In this game you feel bad sometimes, good storyline. Where is it in this game. Just boring zombie killing.
The into to the loading screen reminds me of the zombie land move intro
Bursters are the new form of Suiciders that appeared in the first game
Back in Banoi the special infected also spoke but they would say
Help me
Get away
I'm sorry
You were wrong about Emma not caring for Micheal. She realy liked him and cared for him. We can see that in Emmas house after we save Micheal but he returns bitten and almost killed Emma after turning. She almost kills us while we were trying to shoot him. She burried Micheal next to the dog because she wanted to have the 2 living beings she loved the most in her live next to each other.
THANKU❤ I HAVE BEEN TELLING EVERYONE I ALREADY PLAYED A DEAD ISLAND 2 LIKE 5 YEARS AGO ! I KNEW I HAD .. OF SOME TYPE – YOU ARE THE ONLY CHANNEL TO CORRECT AND REMIND ME OF – DEAD ISLAND RIPTIDE – BASICALLY.. DEAD ISLAND 2 😂😂😂 OMFG THANKS HEAPS YOU DONT REALISE HOW MUCH THIS CONFUSION HAS DONE MY HEAD IN.. I REFUSED TO BELIEVE IT WAS SOME MANDELA BALLSHEET
The bursters have been doing that since they were suiciders in the first game
He missed a borderlands 2 reference by Amy she said a line from Mordecai
Jacob's quotes "Silence of the Lamb" during the first visit out to W.O. Rodriguez in the lifeguard tower in Venice Beach.
With the bursters if you have two next to eachother about to explode they actually say hello to eachother
Am i tripping or when you go through one of the studios the zombies that are painted blue is kind of a tribute to apocalypto
In the dead letters side quest where you help the chief warrant officer, there's a reference to Hal 9000
The opening music is perfect for both dead island and California lol
After clearing the yard and closing the gates of the first mansion when inside the player controlled character says "where are the Last of us" when talking to Andrea Salazar. Also Salazar is a boss in Resident Evil 4.
Anyone find the whale song bein played
I heard a burster say "let's be friends!"
The fact that we cant find the beach jogger from the original 2014 E3 trailer on Venice Beach as an Easter Egg really triggers me and I find it insulting. How dare they not pay homage to an absolute icon!
Idk if this counts as an easter egg or not but the lyric "who do you voodoo" is one of my all time favourite musical puns. Because "who do" sounds like "Hoodoo" which is a similar type of magic to "Voodoo" so it's almost like he's saying "Hoodoo you Voodoo" which I always thought was pretty cool lol.
7:06 I disagree with that statement. The only people that actually bury their dead pets are people that care enough about them to do so. I would bury all my pets if I was financially able to, unfortunately I can't but it pains me every single day. But we've buried our fair share. It's like a family graveyard type of situation.
Also they weren't exactly going to make a trip to the cemetery, the alternative was to just throw his body away.
