The problem was probably on Deep Silver the publisher of Dead Island. You can see that in the fact that Dead Island 2's development has been hell in the sense of the repeated delays and them switching developers.

Glad I waited on picking this one up. This will be a nice game to play next Halloween.
Works for me.

I like this. The DLC was enough but they went the extra mile. I'd like to see more developers take this approach just like Evolution with DriveClub, and CDPR with the Witcher 3.

As stated earlier, that $20 glitch on gamestop for the Game was amazing, and was even more amazing when instead of revoking the game licenses, they just added the season pass too.
Such a bargain, and at launch too. Techland got some brownie points for that.

Remastered are weird.
This is just very good support of a product the audience already bought.

My favorite game of 2015 except Battlefront. I need to play it again.
It's going to be in my top 3 for the year. Gameplay is top notch and I quite like the open world design decisions Techland made. The moment to moment play just flows together, especially once you get the grappling hook and the game turns into first person Spider-Man.
Story and characters are shit, but whatever. I was having too much fun to care.
There was no problem, Dead Island was a great fucking game (and so was Riptide too, though it was more expansion pack material). It wouldn't surprise me if Deep Silver were responsible for them going off to Warner Bros to make Dying Light though.

So just to be clear, if I already own a physical copy of the game on PS4, I just need to buy the season pass to be completely covered? Does the season pass include The Following or is that a separate purchase?

According to the graphic being posted, it includes it.

Yeah, they say as much in the item description for the season pass on the PSN store.
That is an incredible value. You have my money, Techland. I am so there for more DL.
And if you buy the Season Pass right now, it is $10 cheaper. They announced it will go up to $29.99 on December 8.
It's only $24.99 atm right? Maybe I should just snag that now instead.
Thanks for the heads up.

Almost got the game last week, glad I didn't. 
It's $19.99, actually. Today and tomorrow.

Chromatic abberation toggle to turn it off please?
You can disable it pretty easily in the PC version if you have that. Look into "Dying Light Manager". Has a custom toggle for it and a lot of other graphical settings hidden from the main menu.

I really hope they fix the frame-rate cap issue on PS4. Indoor areas bounce between 30 and 60fps constantly making the game feel absolutely awful. You get these quick 1 second bursts of a higher frame-rate while the game tries to maintain 30. It feels almost as bad as actual slowdown. Only happens indoors or when looking at less demanding areas but it feels awful.

I thought that if you mod out CA it also turns off all other post process effects?
Don't count on it, go import the game, you won't regret it I dare say.
The infographic definitely reads as though existing owners need to buy either the Following or the season pass in order to get the other enhancements. Now, that may not actually be the case, but it's certainly what the graphic says.
Absolutely loved Dying Light and really looking forward to the expansion. They learned so much from Dead Island, and really nailed the movement and first person combat.

If it was truly support to those who already bought it - the enhancements would be free
Worked fine for me 6 months ago when I played it, dunno about now.

How the fuck is this bad? They just gave a ton of free stuff..

Goes directly against the chart posted that specifically points out having to buy the DLC to get the improvements to the base game.
So yes. Fuck off for putting a patch behind a DLC paywall.

I played through most of the base content on a rental.
I really want to pick up the season pass and game before the price change but I missed all the Dying Light physical deals and digital is still high. So now I am debating if I want to buy the season pass without the game.. lol
Or wait for GOTY edition.
Now the question is, is there anything different compared to base game+season pass or enhanced edition. DLC included and stuff all seems to be the same. I think all the extra content is coming from "The Following" expansion.

If this was released a few weeks or hell a month after the game you might have a point.
Awesome. o.o I definitely need to grab that.
The original game was fine, bugs at a tolerable level at least after a few psyches. I find it perfectly reasonable for a significant upgrade to be available only for the expansion. They probably improved the engine to be able to run the new content, IMHO they deserve a few warm meals for their effort.
For the original game and season pass they delivered everything promised and then some. Please don't hate them for earning money.

Not really happy to pay for a patch, but I did play DL coop a few weeks ago and had a good time. I may be down for the DLC if my buddies pick it up.
No,you need to buy the season pass which includes The Following or only the Following when it comes out.
