When there’s no extra room in improvement hell

We’re a few month away from Useless Island 2’s escape from improvement hell, so Deep Silver is getting us primed with a peek on the sport’s intro cinematic.

Within the fashionable intro, we’re proven numerous eerie scenes from “HELL-A,” the zombie-fied model of Los Angeles. Whereas it’s no zombie-child being defenestrated in reverse, the intro is a lot moody, with a sluggish, reverb-laced music taking part in over prime of acquainted locations in numerous states of dereliction. Whereas it’s clearly making an attempt to disturb you with its depiction of a vacant society, it does so in a fairly fashionable method. The cinematic was performed by ELASTIC, who has additionally had a hand in loads of cool stuff, and their work for Useless Island 2 shouldn’t be exception.

Whereas I wouldn’t say I’m burnt out on zombies, the unique Useless Island left me lower than enthused a few sequel. I performed it with a good friend plenty of years in the past, and the standout moments for me had been when a man stored pestering us for empty bottles and once we needed to go to a zombie manufacturing facility. I don’t keep in mind if it was truly a zombie manufacturing facility or if it was simply the place the zombies got here from, however I turned to my good friend and puzzled allowed what had occurred to our plan of escape.

Possibly there was a superb purpose why we had been going to the zombie manufacturing facility; I don’t know. It simply appeared like an odd detour for a bunch of rubes simply making an attempt to outlive. Possibly I’ll play Useless Island 2. I don’t know. Nonetheless, it’s going to take greater than a cinematic trailer to persuade me to place my cash down.

Useless Island 2 is lurching towards an April 21 launch date on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
