‘Riptide’ Not Included On ‘Dead Island Definitive Collection’ PS4 Disc

Published

on

Quick heads up to those of you who are planning on getting the Dead Island Definitive Edition when it hits PC, PS4 and Xbox One next week — for PS4 owners, only the original game is included on the disc, so you’ll need to download Riptide.

Deep Silver confirmed the news on Twitter, saying “On XB1 it is on the same disc. PS4 discs don’t support multiple games, so there Riptide comes as a download code.”

When their followers pointed out the problem with that statement — Uncharted, Borderlands and Metro have all had shared disc bundles — the publisher clarified their wording, adding “We could’ve worded that better,” and “You need a separate menu, you can’t just put two games on disc the same way as on XB1.”

This isn’t a huge deal, more of a small annoyance really. It’s just unusual. When GameSpot pushed further, all they got was “There are limitations where you are unable to have multiple multiplayer experiences on the same disc, unfortunately we can’t comment further.”

Oh well. At least I was able to learn some more neat bits from their Twitter page, like how all three games will come with 1,000 GS points, or whatever the trophy equivalent of that is. It makes sense for the first two games to be treated like the full retail releases they were originally, but it’s mildly surprising that Retro Revenge is getting the same treatment.

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.
