I think it's pretty fitting and heartwarming for Sam to decide on the name "Jin". In the novelization of the first game, he acted as a father figure to Jin, so this could be his way of paying tribute. Also, I like how they reference how she was used as a pack mule for all your gear, lol.
That fits so well for his character. He grew up in the ghettos of New Orleans so of course he'd feel protective over someone living in similar conditions.
@@ermanbumaguin8063 That was at the start, when they just met. Jin had a mental breakdown, and they didn't realize it so both Sam and John were sort of rough there. But overall they were good to her.
@@TheCursedCat1927 John was in riptide. Logan actually defended her when Sam B wanted to leave her behind. It's nice to see that Sam B changed and became better
It's genuinely sweet that Sam remembered Jin and said with notable guilt: "I'll get you out next time." 😭 While her death was sad, I honestly don't think Sam could have done anything differently to have prevented it! There's no way he could have known that Jin would set Ryder's zombified wife free and then immediately get shot for it!
He actually is probably more guilty that after the fact of her “use” with the gang that kidnapped her, he tells her to basically suck it up and if she doesn’t she’ll get them all killed. I’m pretty sure that once she died she was pretty much all he could think about as he probably could’ve done much better. Also in the novelization he acts more as a father figure towards her than the others.
@@davec9740 Yeah, how could they like a naïve girl who lost her family and got kidnapped by a gang and subjected to horrible shit just for trying to be helpful? Are you on crack? Did you eat lead paint as a child? Dropped on your head? Are your parents siblings? Did your grandparents have the same last name before marriage?
It's nice to see that they still kept the original survivors in mind. It'd be cool to see a note from or about one of them (like an interview with Logan or something like that)
I can only imagine them ghosting the military, to not be kidnaped and be experimented on... especially what they've done to them. I'm also worried if they got the fever like Sam B. did, or we will encounter them as either a monster/boss fight or a Nueman like Dead Island protagonist.
It's great to see that Sam still cares about and remembers the others, and even if they don't talk anymore, he still seems to regard them as his friends.

@@MegaJace so who's the one voicing him now, ironically actually sounds exactly like the one who did the music which complements better then Phil Lamar although I did prefer Phil Lamar more
A worse thing I could imagine is all 5 immune survives. If you recall the ending of DI Riptide, as the camera slowly zooms in on the boat compartment several loud zombie moans were heard but here's the thing the "door handle was flipped when it opens" 4:23 that something a zombie cannot do. My theory: The immune survivors ate the other survivors and all just calmed a bit from their fury mode (when in fury mode back in DI1 and Riptide your character makes grunting noises, now in DI2 character also roared like zombies) and opened the door. I assume they also killed that woman on the dock who probably in panic after seeing 5 bloody people emerging from a boat. They calmly realized what they've done and vow to never talk about this. Hence Sam B mentioned "We never talked after the boat incident." with a regretful tone and parted ways.
Damn even after they save the survivor and one of the survivor apologizes of losing their faith on them only for them to regret their words in their P.O.V Before meeting their gruesome end😢
Nah in the first game and riptide the fury mode wasn’t the “zombie mode” type of thing we have in 2. It was essentially each character pulling out their strongest weapon and entering “the zone”. They didn’t start getting/using zombie rage until towards the end of 1 and a few times during riptide. And considering Sam B was turning it’s likely non of them are Numen since the autophage must’ve evolved.
I haven't played the new dead island but I kind of drew conclusions that Sam B killed everyone. I hope that isn't true, but the last thing you hear at the ending of riptide IS Sam B. So even when I beat it like 5 years ago I sort of assumed the worse...
In the novelization of the 1st game, he acted a bit more like a father-figure to her, so it honestly makes sense. He also grew up in New Orleans ghettos, so he kinda knew how her life was.

I just think that the zombie sounds are just FX and the heroes just opened the hatch and got out after some sleep, then they all went their seperate ways, assuming different identities, and, in the case of Sam B, faked their deaths.(Because the bad guys geopharm would want them dead.)
@@KendoGunSop ay, i remember some sort of yellow press topic about Logan in DI2. They said he went somewhere in Canada, stays low, prefer a dull clothes style and has a cute dog.
seeing how they planned the outbreak in la to sift out immune people since the og immunes arent immune to this new one i doubt theyre actively looking for them anymore \
I think on the boat they turned and killed the non immune that's why they don't talk. And they have no reason to stay together because sam b has a career to revive, and Xian mei was spec ops, John was an x ADF soldier and purna was Australian and there's a note in the game saying one of the survivors (logan) is in America too
At the end of Riptide they probaly went bloodlust because of the injection they took in the boss fight and murdered everyone that wasn't immune. The experience must be traumatized to them so they don't mention about that much
and I also believe that mutagen they took in Riptide is also the reason why Sam got sick in Dead Island 2 story mode and if I am right, I think the others are going through he same thing Sam is.
@@Jayy_em Call me a sap but you would think after surviving everything with a tight group in an apocalypse with said group; you would end up becoming a family after everything that happened.
@@JasonToddEatsCrowbarsI agree, you'd think they'd at least hang out, have parties, run a support group for survivors of zombie invasions. They'd do something together
@@Jayy_em Who says they would expressly had to have stayed together? You don't think there's a possibility that a group of people who have personal investment in what is going on with geopharm wouldn't investigate a situation like this that is...way too big for a cover up this time....maybe not Logan but Purna, Xian Mei, John....they'd all have a personal reason for wanting to find out
We know Logan is in the US at least, there's a chance we could meet up with him in DLC. Purna and John likely went back to Australia and Xian Mei to China so i don't think we'll see them
I know a lot of people disliked Jin but I can never help but feel sorry for her. First she's forced to leave her father because he got bit. Then there's was the... thing that happened at the police station which the novel was a bit more specific on. Then when they revisited the workshop, she puts a bullet into her own zombified father's head. And finally, just when they're so close to getting off the island, she gets shot and killed. To me, she'll always be one of the most tragic characters in gaming history.
I think the thing that happened on the boat was the original survivors killing the some other survivors. It was mentioned they had random bouts of fury and (Spoilers) in dead island 2, you can see sometimes where your chosen character loses control and even a time where they ate some of Noah and jumped Tisha. I think that’s why the original crew doesn’t talk, I think they ate some people.
I don’t think we’ll ever get anything beyond ‘we don’t talk after the boat’ bit about what happened to the OG cast and John after Riptide. Although if we consider Escape Dead Island as canon then we do know Xien was still a spy 6 months after. Still would be nice to know about the others.
I just found this comment in "Dead Island Riptide Ending" video a person named "Bernard S." commented this: " Sadly they made another kinda bad game which is a mobile game "Dead Island Survivors" but it is cannon, and all we know so far is that Sam B talks about how after they took the boat in Riptide they ran into the block-aid of Naval Ships and they forced them to return to the islands and Sam B and Xian teamed up with other survivors to * try * to clear out an entire island to make it their new home but the others * other two main survivors * wanted to find a way off, so they split ways... so im guessing at the end of Riptide we see the boat hitting some random island that's close to Bonoi but hasn't been infected yet (I spent freaking days researching this)"
I never played the first game of Dead Island & Riptide, but my bf is a huge fan of it. Once he saw Sam B while I was playin Dead Island 2, dude was so excited that he wanted me to always interact with Sam B. Now that I see this, I wish that I saw this interaction myself, but that’s okay. Thanks for the video
I'm an old dead island gamer and still play the regular and riptide ( well mostly the first one) and I still think about what happened after the ending on riptide but the "boat incident" that sam said already grew me suspicion that when they took the mutagen on the labs at the docks on palanai to stop harlow it changed then at the point of losing control of themselves after leaving the island and killing the people that left with them on the boat but i expect of seeing then back on future dlc for the old nostalgia
Well, that at least confirms the originals survived. ^^ I checked the wiki last night, it was all insanely vague about if they do or don't, seems they all have. Good to see they didn't get tossed aside plotwise. Though calling a gun Jin, especially after she was shot and... Well, there was that police station situation which likely involved guns when she was er... Mishandled, shall we say, by three of the Punks... But yeah, calling a gun Jin feels kinda dark, even if Sam does try add some sentiment to it by saying he'll get her out.
@@josedanielvelasquezmartine1325 they probably went berserk from the mutagen and accidentally killed some innocents, that's the thing that makes the most logical sense
I like how the dead island who ever you choose you can meet the others but in dead island 2 who you choose the other playable characters dies in the plane crash Edit:2 days ago my brother bought DI2 so Ima go on ahead play it and maybe let y’all know how I like it Edit:I loved it
I don't think they died because if you enter Emma's house after the plane crash one of the Npcs say "Are they bitten?" So it's just like Dead island 1 and Riptide Npcs talking like all the characters are present.
All characters survived, they either landed away from each other or just minding their own business. It's just the player decided to get which character for that scenario.
The theory i have is that at the end of dead island riptide the survivors were fine but due to them not being immune like sam B and the others they turned and thats the zombie sounds we heard at the end of the cutscene, after the fight and due to everyone knowing that if they remained together the consortium might catch them more easily they went their different ways, years later due to the outbreak in L.A. Sam knew he had to save his ex girlfriend emma and thats how he got to dead island 2
Good Job on having a Totally Original Idea that DEFINITELY hasn't been Said around 10 Times as soon as you Get to this Comment. Not only That, Info is Wrong. Ever Been on a boat? Or a Small boat? Imagine trying to Sleep or do ANYTHING on that WITHOUT hitting something.
I mean, there was also "No room in hell", which came out with Riptide and even has a full live action music video on YT, but never took off like the og song did.
At one part of the game when Emma,Sam and you enter pattons bunker Sam B says “voodoo b!tch” as saying hello/hi which is a from dead island 1 when starting the game your at the concert and the singer says that word Becouse it’s part of the song.
Half zombie and Half Human. Just like that girl from All Of Us Are Dead! Really great Korean zombie show. She was bitten and she wanted to attack her friends she was half zombie and human. So it’s possible they all survived! Immune
Sam B looked entirely different in this game than from his first appearance. I don’t understand why they changed literally everything about him besides his clothes looking similar.
Based on Dead Island 2, what happen on the boat is they found booze and drugs in the haul. They had a party and a wild orgy. After what they did with each other, they could no longer look each other in the eyes and went their separate ways. Ok that's what I like to think happen. The characters deserved to have some moment of happiness. I guess someone turned and they had to put them down. As Sam B said in Riptide, its always harder when its someone you know.
i thought of a dlc idea where somehow sinamoi survived the island and got everyone else we met off, and he met up with sam right before we meet sam in di2 and sinamoi split off to go find his family he might have had somewhere in hell-A
I’m glad to know that the 5 immune survivors all lived after the events of Riptide, just a shame that they decided to go their separate ways and not contact each other again. But there were a few non immune survivors with them at the end, makes me wonder what happened to them, and if they are dead is that the reason they broke up the team.
I think I know what happened. John went full on zombie mode. So because he was their friend they couldn't kill him. So they had no choice but to lock him up. Even tho they knew he could escape and fck everything up. That's why they don't like to talk about it. Cause they know how badly they fckd up. Sam B knows is their fault the zombies are back. Maybe we'll see what really happened in a DLC.
See I didn't stand around long enough for everybody to tell their story or haven't gotten that far in the game to hear the story. But it is great to see that the developers added a reference to both games in this one. Although my question to the developers is where's that ending to the continuation of this beginning and where are the rest of those characters. And another question to the developers didn't they land on Hawaii or another Island in the last game. I also did not know in the original games they killed off jin.
Kinda sad when out of the four survivors of the first game, I can only remember Sam B and no one else. Although it has been years since I've seen the first game on PS3.
So taking into the fact Sam mentions the other four are alive that would mean the others who escaped on the boat: Dr. Jane Hanson Chimamanda Zoey Henry Trevor Marvin & Slyvia Wonder what happened to them after the boat docked..
Let’s be fr the only 2 zombies that gave us PTSD was the zombified tarzan and Ryder a big zombie that doesn’t walk but runs straight at u just makes u shit urself
I haven't gotten the chance to play DI2 but this made me want to play. Right now, I'm actually playing Riptide and I'm almost done with the side quests, that game brings to so much nostalgia. Can't believe it's been 11 years already wow!
Purna was my choice for my Dead Island and Riptide playthrough, as she tied everything together between both games. That said, I always had a 'soft spot' for Xian Mei. Glad she made an appearance in Epidemic and Escape Dead Island at least...
As someone who beat the first game and Riptide countless times, I really want to know what happened on that boat in the end of Riptide. I always thought they all died until the second game came out and Sam B talked about this.
What I think what happened in the boat is that the Heroes hid themselves underneath the dock to keep them from hurting anyone else, bc I think the mutagen DID get to them and they killed and ate the other survivors on the boat since Sam B sounds like he deeply regrets it and he's disgusted by himself to even remember it
Question who was the faceless person during the Opening credits too dead island the one who enters a hotel room takes pills and passes out what happened too them
Hm, the way he talked about the other survivors from Banoi, implies that the others are still alive, except Purna. Purna is the only one he talked about in the past tense. I mean we all know Jin didn't make it out but Sam B is the only one of the original survivors we get to see after the Islands.
Yeah, i forgot about this easter egg, when sam said his song "Hoo-Doo you Voo-Doo" i remember what aiden said and saw in Dying light 2 in the beginning of the game with spike.
It has been a long time. I don't expect Sam to stay the hardass he was back in Banoi. He may not be the same, but a little positivity never hurt anyone. Just glad we got one of the OGs back in the game and fighting alongside us.
Purna said she had a headache after taking the mutagen. Given that Harloweveas immune and seeing what it did to her, I think that the whole “we stopped talking after the boat incident” meant that the others were forced to kill Purna after she mutated.
@@squidsmove there not dead there's notes in the game saying there are survivors of banoi and palanai they probably just killed the non immune and then stopped talking because of it
I love seeing Sam again, best og character, but im iffy on the new voice. I miss his old accent, imo it does even sound like the voice from his songs, but the OG voice did. RIP Naw'lins.
From what he said after what happens es on the boat they didn’t talk anymore I just assumed they went full blown fury and ate the normies. Or for some reason had to kill them.
I'm so glad know they are still alive . I know they all went there own ways. I wonder what happened to them where they went after they separated . What they been up to we already know sam B stayed a singer.
So far, people are saying that there is a note/ article mentioning Logan. It says that apparently he's in Canada, got a dog and is living a humble life.
@@gojirabh9383 that understanding and yes I did find the blade. Also they did confirm might be another one dead island. Also got think about even if they quarantine California don't mean the infected reach other cities & states so it be apocalypse for all of us. It be awsome if the immune work together in the next one trying create the cure.
Considering that Sam was turning or something I’m sure the samething happened to the rest of the OG crew so I highly doubt they survived well xian did but hell who’s knows it would be cool if they did make a return in the dlcs
What do you think about what happened to them after Dead Island Riptide?

Some people said they found a journal talk about the other Dead Island 1/riptide survivors but I still looking for that
@@KendoGunSop ay, i remember some sort of yellow press topic about Logan in DI2. They said he went somewhere in Canada, stays low, prefer a dull clothes style and has a cute dog.
seeing how they planned the outbreak in la to sift out immune people since the og immunes arent immune to this new one i doubt theyre actively looking for them anymore \
@@unknown_apostate I've heard this too where is the not located
I mean I wouldn't be surprised if originally Techland wanted to kill them off but these new devs decided to retcon them.
I think on the boat they turned and killed the non immune that's why they don't talk. And they have no reason to stay together because sam b has a career to revive, and Xian mei was spec ops, John was an x ADF soldier and purna was Australian and there's a note in the game saying one of the survivors (logan) is in America too
And they also have no reason to stay together for 15 years plus the government covered the events on banoi up
@@Jayy_emnice theory bro
"and Purna was a Australian" bros saying that like it's a crime 💀
That's it for Purna, just an Australian
@@HighOnIce Not like its a crime but like they are more likely to you know stay in australia since its their home.
i'm glad to hear that he is indirectly saying that the others are still alive
At the end of Riptide they probaly went bloodlust because of the injection they took in the boss fight and murdered everyone that wasn't immune. The experience must be traumatized to them so they don't mention about that much
Year that makes the most sense and plus it's been 15 years so they have no reason to stay together
@@Jayy_em why I mean is it their.the lady in riptide warn them about how dangerous they are before fighting them about being immune.
and I also believe that mutagen they took in Riptide is also the reason why Sam got sick in Dead Island 2 story mode and if I am right, I think the others are going through he same thing Sam is.
"i'll get you out this time jin" well damn this is kinda sad to hear especially when u know what happened to her
I really hope we get to see the rest of the OG survivors in a future DLC for Dead Island 2
Yeah but why would they stay together for 15 years when they have there own lives
@@Jayy_em Call me a sap but you would think after surviving everything with a tight group in an apocalypse with said group; you would end up becoming a family after everything that happened.
@@JasonToddEatsCrowbarsI agree, you'd think they'd at least hang out, have parties, run a support group for survivors of zombie invasions. They'd do something together
@@rockycuro7737 Definitely, I hope that happens in a future DLC
@@Jayy_em Who says they would expressly had to have stayed together?
You don't think there's a possibility that a group of people who have personal investment in what is going on with geopharm wouldn't investigate a situation like this that is...way too big for a cover up this time....maybe not Logan but Purna, Xian Mei, John....they'd all have a personal reason for wanting to find out
......So Sam named his pistol "Jin".
Its a nice continuity nod but also really fucked up thing to naming a gun "Jin" considering what happened to her.
this was actually a well put video, thank you!
You're welcome, I made this video for nostalgia when playing Dead Island when I was in high school and college with my friends.
Good to see Sam Bro never forgets his homies who went through fire and blood with him in Banoi
We know Logan is in the US at least, there's a chance we could meet up with him in DLC. Purna and John likely went back to Australia and Xian Mei to China so i don't think we'll see them
Shes from hong kong
nah not a chance, unlike Sam B logan has no incentive to return to LA.
@@nullnull4010which is in China.
and I hope they don't get the same thing Sam has at the end of the Story mode in Dead Island 2, cause if they do, they are in big trouble.
we need the og crew back i miss xian mei
Yeah since the whole world isn't infected they have no reason to stay together after 15 years they all got their own lives
dude, she was my main back then
Still my main every time I play.
i would love it if they were dlc
Xian is legit OP and fun if you have the right tools. So I'm hoping there'll be a DLC that adds the OG crew, as slim of a chance as it is
Really shows how much the Devs really cared about the game, feels good to play a modern game that's actually good! 👍
I know a lot of people disliked Jin but I can never help but feel sorry for her. First she's forced to leave her father because he got bit. Then there's was the... thing that happened at the police station which the novel was a bit more specific on. Then when they revisited the workshop, she puts a bullet into her own zombified father's head. And finally, just when they're so close to getting off the island, she gets shot and killed. To me, she'll always be one of the most tragic characters in gaming history.
I think the thing that happened on the boat was the original survivors killing the some other survivors. It was mentioned they had random bouts of fury and (Spoilers) in dead island 2, you can see sometimes where your chosen character loses control and even a time where they ate some of Noah and jumped Tisha. I think that’s why the original crew doesn’t talk, I think they ate some people.
Thats bc the virus was different in dead island 2, sam says the same
I don’t think we’ll ever get anything beyond ‘we don’t talk after the boat’ bit about what happened to the OG cast and John after Riptide. Although if we consider Escape Dead Island as canon then we do know Xien was still a spy 6 months after. Still would be nice to know about the others.
I just found this comment in "Dead Island Riptide Ending" video a person named "Bernard S." commented this: " Sadly they made another kinda bad game which is a mobile game "Dead Island Survivors" but it is cannon, and all we know so far is that Sam B talks about how after they took the boat in Riptide they ran into the block-aid of Naval Ships and they forced them to return to the islands and Sam B and Xian teamed up with other survivors to * try * to clear out an entire island to make it their new home but the others * other two main survivors * wanted to find a way off, so they split ways... so im guessing at the end of Riptide we see the boat hitting some random island that's close to Bonoi but hasn't been infected yet (I spent freaking days researching this)"
Nope dev said they don't count it
Not cannon it was not made by techland the original creators of the og crew
Nothing is canon except dead island 1 and riptide.
Confirmed in multiple dev interviews and by deep silver the publisher
Blockade. Not like a Band-Aid lol!
I actually love how your character interactions with most npcs. It actually makes it fun to just walk around and talk
I never played the first game of Dead Island & Riptide, but my bf is a huge fan of it. Once he saw Sam B while I was playin Dead Island 2, dude was so excited that he wanted me to always interact with Sam B. Now that I see this, I wish that I saw this interaction myself, but that’s okay. Thanks for the video
Share this to your BF he will be excited :)
@@KendoGunSop How far into the game do you have to get for Sam B to talk about the og characters?
I love Sam in this game, I genuinely hope we get to see at least one or two of the other original survivors.
Looks like Dead Island 2 will get DLC, so I hope we can see the other survivor
I'm an old dead island gamer and still play the regular and riptide ( well mostly the first one) and I still think about what happened after the ending on riptide but the "boat incident" that sam said already grew me suspicion that when they took the mutagen on the labs at the docks on palanai to stop harlow it changed then at the point of losing control of themselves after leaving the island and killing the people that left with them on the boat but i expect of seeing then back on future dlc for the old nostalgia
I would love to see a dlc where you help John expose the truth of Banoi and Palanai because that was a major part of his character in Riptide.
I chuckled when he referred to Xian as a knife... since she was the blade/sharp specialist lol
Well, that at least confirms the originals survived. ^^ I checked the wiki last night, it was all insanely vague about if they do or don't, seems they all have. Good to see they didn't get tossed aside plotwise. Though calling a gun Jin, especially after she was shot and... Well, there was that police station situation which likely involved guns when she was er... Mishandled, shall we say, by three of the Punks... But yeah, calling a gun Jin feels kinda dark, even if Sam does try add some sentiment to it by saying he'll get her out.
So they survived then Sam B said they haven’t spoken to each other since the boat ?
exactly
@@josedanielvelasquezmartine1325 they probably went berserk from the mutagen and accidentally killed some innocents, that's the thing that makes the most logical sense
What's a mutagen
@@javidjohn8060 play riptide it's what they take at the end
@@javidjohn8060 It's a injection that could turn you into mutan.
I like how the dead island who ever you choose you can meet the others but in dead island 2 who you choose the other playable characters dies in the plane crash
Edit:2 days ago my brother bought DI2 so Ima go on ahead play it and maybe let y’all know how I like it
Edit:I loved it
I’m not sure that’s how it works cause later in the game you see photos of the other survivors doing a task that you literally just finished
What about co-op mode
I don't think they died because if you enter Emma's house after the plane crash one of the Npcs say "Are they bitten?" So it's just like Dead island 1 and Riptide Npcs talking like all the characters are present.
All characters survived, they either landed away from each other or just minding their own business. It's just the player decided to get which character for that scenario.
@@jocelantonettetenoc5996 well I never played so I hope your right
2:09 did they ever explain what happened on the boat
The theory i have is that at the end of dead island riptide the survivors were fine but due to them not being immune like sam B and the others they turned and thats the zombie sounds we heard at the end of the cutscene, after the fight and due to everyone knowing that if they remained together the consortium might catch them more easily they went their different ways, years later due to the outbreak in L.A. Sam knew he had to save his ex girlfriend emma and thats how he got to dead island 2
Good Job on having a Totally Original Idea that DEFINITELY hasn't been Said around 10 Times as soon as you Get to this Comment.
Not only That,
Info is Wrong.
Ever Been on a boat?
Or a Small boat?
Imagine trying to Sleep or do ANYTHING on that WITHOUT hitting something.
@@frank-2martialoffrankoslav151 i thought it and its my opinion so suck it
Real talk though. Who Do You Voodoo is such a banger it’s completely unrealistic that Sam B was a one hitter.
I mean, there was also "No room in hell", which came out with Riptide and even has a full live action music video on YT, but never took off like the og song did.
2:58 RIP Jin now she's with her dad and watching him in heaven fix cars 😭😭😭😭
At one part of the game when Emma,Sam and you enter pattons bunker
Sam B says “voodoo b!tch” as saying hello/hi which is a from dead island 1 when starting the game
your at the concert and the singer says that word Becouse it’s part of the song.
Details like this tell that they cared about the game, even all these years and the game still kicked ass, never had so much fun killing zombies
Love hearing my boy Logan survived he was always my favorite the whole throwing weapons and them coming back like Thors hammer was really fun.
Why do i get the feeling the original characters will make a retuen in a dlc for the game
Low key when he was mentioning his friends back at Banoi, it sorta reminded me of my friends when we used to full stack Dead Island. 😢
Half zombie and Half Human. Just like that girl from All Of Us Are Dead! Really great Korean zombie show. She was bitten and she wanted to attack her friends she was half zombie and human. So it’s possible they all survived! Immune
Sam B looked entirely different in this game than from his first appearance. I don’t understand why they changed literally everything about him besides his clothes looking similar.
Based on Dead Island 2, what happen on the boat is they found booze and drugs in the haul. They had a party and a wild orgy. After what they did with each other, they could no longer look each other in the eyes and went their separate ways. Ok that's what I like to think happen. The characters deserved to have some moment of happiness. I guess someone turned and they had to put them down. As Sam B said in Riptide, its always harder when its someone you know.
i thought of a dlc idea where somehow sinamoi survived the island and got everyone else we met off, and he met up with sam right before we meet sam in di2 and sinamoi split off to go find his family he might have had somewhere in hell-A
I’m glad to know that the 5 immune survivors all lived after the events of Riptide, just a shame that they decided to go their separate ways and not contact each other again. But there were a few non immune survivors with them at the end, makes me wonder what happened to them, and if they are dead is that the reason they broke up the team.
I think I know what happened. John went full on zombie mode. So because he was their friend they couldn't kill him. So they had no choice but to lock him up. Even tho they knew he could escape and fck everything up. That's why they don't like to talk about it. Cause they know how badly they fckd up. Sam B knows is their fault the zombies are back. Maybe we'll see what really happened in a DLC.
Listening to “who do you voo doo” had me feeling like a demon on the island 😂
I want the OG crew back in a dlc😢
I hope for Dead Island 3 they are back
We might see Logan again, Purna was a cop in Australia and John a soldier so they're probably in Australia, and Xian was a spec-ops from China
That’s is a greatest flashback from previous dead island games.
See I didn't stand around long enough for everybody to tell their story or haven't gotten that far in the game to hear the story.
But it is great to see that the developers added a reference to both games in this one.
Although my question to the developers is where's that ending to the continuation of this beginning and where are the rest of those characters.
And another question to the developers didn't they land on Hawaii or another Island in the last game.
I also did not know in the original games they killed off jin.
that's nice of him to about his friends well almost all of them.
Kinda sad when out of the four survivors of the first game, I can only remember Sam B and no one else. Although it has been years since I've seen the first game on PS3.
So taking into the fact Sam mentions the other four are alive that would mean the others who escaped on the boat:
Dr. Jane Hanson
Chimamanda
Zoey
Henry
Trevor
Marvin & Slyvia
Wonder what happened to them after the boat docked..
Your video was really amazing. You even went back to the old dead island as well that’s that’s good.
Let’s be fr the only 2 zombies that gave us PTSD was the zombified tarzan and Ryder a big zombie that doesn’t walk but runs straight at u just makes u shit urself
I hope Xian Mei returns in a dlc. But then again what would she be doing in LA? She said she wanted to get home to Hong Kong.
Next question what happen on the boat? Did they actually lose it when that lady got too close and they eater and that’s what made them split up?
I haven't gotten the chance to play DI2 but this made me want to play. Right now, I'm actually playing Riptide and I'm almost done with the side quests, that game brings to so much nostalgia. Can't believe it's been 11 years already wow!
I wish they added Purna she pretty much narrated Dead island riptide and the first game… she felt more as a start to the show
Purna was my choice for my Dead Island and Riptide playthrough, as she tied everything together between both games. That said, I always had a 'soft spot' for Xian Mei. Glad she made an appearance in Epidemic and Escape Dead Island at least...
I wanna know what happened on that boat at the end. It’s been a constant mystery
would love to be able to play as Sam or the others, they're so nostalgic to me
Xian was op in DI, give her a wakazashi and she’s unstoppable
I just want to know where and how my other surv’s are doing, it was a pleasure to work alongside Sam again
We needed a third Sam B song, it's a shame we didn't get one lol
Wish sam b looked and sounded like the original. Built and tough
I wonder what happened to the life guard in the first game tho? What happened to Sinamoi he was a cool character
With yet another open ending in DI2 I hope we encounter one or two in a DLC to 2, and the rest in Game and DLC for DI3
I totally forgotten about Jin, that was a heartbreaking death
As someone who beat the first game and Riptide countless times, I really want to know what happened on that boat in the end of Riptide. I always thought they all died until the second game came out and Sam B talked about this.
What I think what happened in the boat is that the Heroes hid themselves underneath the dock to keep them from hurting anyone else, bc I think the mutagen DID get to them and they killed and ate the other survivors on the boat since Sam B sounds like he deeply regrets it and he's disgusted by himself to even remember it
Hoo-doo you voo-doo is still a song i blast while i drive
His voice was better on the 1st.
I know that's sam d
@@Jayy_em Lmao
Thats because he was voiced by the legendary Phil Lamarr.
Here he is voiced by Cavin Cornwall.
Since were talking about old character from Dead Island i wonder what happened to terema and that hacker guy
My favorite character survived like a cockroach from nuclear bomb...
0:39 THATS MY SONG WHILE KILLING ZOMBIES IN LOS ANGELES
It would've been nice to see John again he had so much potential considering he was in the military
Question who was the faceless person during the Opening credits too dead island the one who enters a hotel room takes pills and passes out what happened too them
That’s exactly what we want to know
Hm, the way he talked about the other survivors from Banoi, implies that the others are still alive, except Purna. Purna is the only one he talked about in the past tense. I mean we all know Jin didn't make it out but Sam B is the only one of the original survivors we get to see after the Islands.
I litterally got an ad while watching an ad 💀
"She looked after everything we couldn't carry on Banoi."
Heh.. She was the storage function of that game.
Yeah, i forgot about this easter egg, when sam said his song "Hoo-Doo you Voo-Doo" i remember what aiden said and saw in Dying light 2 in the beginning of the game with spike.
So this means that they didn't turn into zombies at the end of Riptide? They survived?
Yeah
Yes but no
@@theninja2k14 So.... what they're dead?
@@BamBam-3886 they survived, but probably killed the non infected people in their rage mode.
They didnt turn but probably went berserk for a while and turned back only to realize they killed everyone.
Logan is always be my favorite character because I think alike what he says
It has been a long time. I don't expect Sam to stay the hardass he was back in Banoi. He may not be the same, but a little positivity never hurt anyone. Just glad we got one of the OGs back in the game and fighting alongside us.
If there is a campaign DLC for this game, I hope to see at least One of the protags from the first game.
I'm curious if the others are dead or alive
Pretty sure they survived as well, though the end of Riptide made it all questionable for some reason. But if Sam is alive the rest should be too
@@faasnuhind8578 the end insinuated that they turned and spread it to the rest of the world with the banging in the boat
@@squidsmove Apparently not, what with Sam still kicking around...pretty sure if they were dead, he would have said it.
Purna said she had a headache after taking the mutagen. Given that Harloweveas immune and seeing what it did to her, I think that the whole “we stopped talking after the boat incident” meant that the others were forced to kill Purna after she mutated.
@@squidsmove there not dead there's notes in the game saying there are survivors of banoi and palanai they probably just killed the non immune and then stopped talking because of it
I love seeing Sam again, best og character, but im iffy on the new voice. I miss his old accent, imo it does even sound like the voice from his songs, but the OG voice did. RIP Naw'lins.
Not only his voice, but his personality changed aswell
I listen to most of the conversations in the game how did I miss this one this one
i always wondered what happened after the boat scene at 4:21
1:23 Sam B's initials on the back of his coat are mirrored.
Sam b haven't seen the other Dead Island characters from Banoi and Palanai since the events of dead island riptide
From what he said after what happens es on the boat they didn’t talk anymore I just assumed they went full blown fury and ate the normies. Or for some reason had to kill them.
I'm so glad know they are still alive . I know they all went there own ways. I wonder what happened to them where they went after they separated . What they been up to we already know sam B stayed a singer.
So far, people are saying that there is a note/ article mentioning Logan. It says that apparently he's in Canada, got a dog and is living a humble life.

Considering that Sam was turning or something I’m sure the samething happened to the rest of the OG crew so I highly doubt they survived well xian did but hell who’s knows it would be cool if they did make a return in the dlcs
