Would You Play a ‘Dead Island’ Remaster?
I’m not complaining, but retailers may actually be worse than children at keeping secrets. Yesterday, I wrote about an Amazon listing that teased us with the totally believable idea that we might soon be hearing about a Game of the Year Edition of The Evil Within, and today we have another.
A second listing — this time from South African online retailer Loot — was spotted this week that mentions a Dead Island Definitive Edition for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. If this is true, the game will join a lengthy list of new-gen remasters that already includes Tomb Raider, God of War III, Saints Row IV, State of Decay, Dark Souls II, GTA V, The Last of Us, Sleeping Dogs, Diablo III and Metro Redux, among a dozen or so others.
It’s worth noting that two of the games I mentioned were published by Deep Silver, so they’re clearly interested in this sort of thing.
I enjoyed Dead Island enough that I would almost consider returning to it, especially now that we have no idea when, or if, we’ll actually see Dead Island 2. The problem is I can’t see myself choosing it over something like, oh I don’t know, Dying Light, for example. How about you?
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
