Ships Ahoy - Dead Island; Patch Coming; Steam has an Xbox Build?

[Sep 06, 2011, 10:12 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Windows edition of Dead Island is now available in North America, offering Techland's zombie-themed action/RPG. The game is available in stores and also via digital distribution on GamersGate, Impulse, and Steam. Apparently a day-on patch is on the way, Destructoid has word on that along with a lengthy list of changes the patch will include. There's also a thread on the Steam Users' Forums stating the version available on Steam is actually an Xbox 360 build of the game based on header information calling this an "Xbox Live Submission Project Version." Eurogamer has word from Techland that they are looking into this: "Techland is currently investigating this information and we'll do everything we can to make sure everyone can enjoy playing their copy of Dead Island," a spokesperson told them. "Deep Silver is a part of every release process and any further updates will come from the game's publisher."

Dead Island is L4D3 (?)

A guy I know swears up and down that he went to PAX Dev 2011 convention and that one of the devs for Dead Island said that Techland contracted out/bought out the rights for Left 4 Dead 3. Dead Island was going to be Left 4 Dead 3 but throughout the development it changed so much that they renamed it Dead Island. I realize this is kind of a dubious statement to make but I can't give out the name of this guy out of fear of reprisal inside the industry (for him).
