Det betyder ifølge Techland, at spillet er genopbygget på deres "next gen"-motor, og at de samtidig har lavet væsentlige forbedringer på både det grafiske indtryk og spillets performance generelt.
Nogle af forbedringerne er:
Higher Quality Textures
Game textures have been redone in a higher resolution and the level of quality has been improved across the board
Photorealistic new lighting system
The lighting system in the game has been vastly improved, providing a much more realistic look to the beautiful sunny tropical setting
Physically based shading
The introduction of new physically based shading techniques due to the latest iteration of the Chrome Engine means a higher quality look to the game models and objects as they react in a more realistic way to various lighting conditions
Image quality enhancements via anti-aliasing
The addition of more sophisticated anti-aliasing means that console players can now experience
Dead Island without unsightly “jaggies“ – meaning a much cleaner look throughout
Improved-quality game models and geometry assets
All major geometry assets (for example: NPCs and character models) highlight a marked quality increase
HBAO and motion blur effects
The introduction of Horizon-based Ambient Occlusion adds a extra layer of depth and realism to the world.
Som en ekstra ting, så indeholder pakken også et helt nyt spil, nemlig Dead Island Retro Revenge, som bliver beskrevet som et klassisk side-scrolling/endless runner action spil.
Dead Island Definitive Collection udkommer den 31. maj i år, se den officielle annonceringstrailer herunder.
