People moaning about buying a £1.80 game :laughing:

Must be the PC Master Race.

Great deal, voted hot.

Would you give it out for free if you had your own business? I think £1.80 for remastered games is a bargain considering they are £11.99 if you don't own them. I pre purchased them, I didn't even have to think about it.

It also ends at the end of the month so people still have time to grab cheap copies of the originals.

PayPal will cover you if anything is untoward about the transaction. G2A's cover policy is just a sham. As a supposedly reputable outlet they should be ensuring that everything they sell is legitimate anyway.

£6.75 for both and Dead Island Retro Revenge.

Ends May 31st

Why isn't this free for Dead Island owners?

Which? I may have some to claim

The first version was hella fun but also very buggy, I hope they've ironed things out on that end!

Damn that is cheap!
I still haven't started Riptide though I thought the games already looked amazing...hmm lol

Just watched comparison video, some bits are insane on the difference, especially environment! Especially grass foliage haha thought to be fair they where comparing it to the ps3 version...so it's going to be a massive difference.

So now it nearly looks like how it should have been released in the first place?

Funny, I could have sworn it was in HD the first time I played it.

Heat added. Might have to invest in these and pick up where I left off on riptide.

Where can u upgrade Dead Island + Riptide for £1.80 each????
I own both on Steam already but only see 11.99 to buy the new ones??

Does anyone have a spare key for "normal" dead island riptide they might like to trade something for?

i never picked it up in recent bundles as i had the normal dead island, and i still have riptide sealed for my Xbox360.
but then i can get riptide remastered cheaper too as on steam i only own the first one?
if anyone can help out i'd be very apreciative.

Ah, thanks got it. Weird, looking at the Steam app (logged in) showed full price.

Hope my PC can run them!

What a beast. Got a code from g2a for £2.50, making it £4.30 for Riptide definitive edition. Cheers very much OP! :wink:

oh thanks, nearly missed this one - bargain !!

What other games have released new versions that have included both graphical overhauls and all DLC for free? Most games with DLC eventually become available in a GOTY or Complete edition, but they're not given out for free to people who just have the base game - it's buy a season pass or buy the complete version. And games don't usually get graphical overhauls for free - I know some have, but just as many if not more have been released as separate versions where you have to pay again. One thing's for sure - those that make you pay again normally charge more than £1.80 to existing owners, so this is a pretty good deal.

I use G2A a lot, never had tax added and you can just turn G2A shield off, plus there's usually a discount code for at least 3% or 5% off.
But then I'm thinking that those selling cheap copies are probably just people who already own the old games and are able to buy gifts at £1.80 each, so perhaps someone here will be able to buy it for you at that price even if you don't have the originals. I'll take a look...

some truly retarded logic.

why is there an extra 39p that wants to be added whether paying by credit card or paypal then? this is the sort of thing happened before.. (the hidden charges) so why arent they upfront about this before you get to the end of the checkout process?
obviosuly i know i can untick G2A shield, but then there are risks involved if its not legit.

PayPal will cover you if anything is untoward about the transaction. G2A's cover policy is just a sham. As a supposedly reputable outlet they should be ensuring that everything they sell is legitimate anyway.

None of the charges are hidden - plenty of places charge payment fees (I use Just Eat for takeaways and they charge a 50p debit card surcharge, and Parcel2Go charge 2% for paying with Paypal - it's not uncommon), so just choose whatever method is cheapest. You're right about G2A Shield - if you don't pay it, you've got less recourse if something goes wrong, so that's up to you and whether you want the peace of mind or not. Personally I've never used it and I've never had a problem - just stick to sellers with lots of good feedback and you should be okay, although obviously I can't guarantee anything (unless you're buying from me!). I see what you mean about tax - it used to be set to outside EU, so 0%, by default but now it's set to 20% by default. You can just change it though - I don't think you'll get into trouble. I've just had a quick check and discount code FRAGS should get you 3% off if that helps.

But anyway, what I was saying was that, because I own the originals, I can buy gift copies of the Definitive Editions for £1.80, so if you wanted the remastered versions without getting the originals, you could just get someone to buy them for you.


That's a good point - have you had a problem on G2A and had to claim through Paypal? It can't be easy for them to ensure everything they sell is legitimate as they don't actually sell anything themselves - they're a marketplace with lots of individual sellers, like eBay, so problems do inevitably arise for various reasons, but they do have key verification processes in place as well as seller feedback so it wouldn't be that easy to intentionally scam people on there.

Yes twice unfortunately. The first time I bought an xblg 12 month code that had already been used and the second time was for a pre-order for the division which they didn't bother to send. The second occasion was unacceptable as well really since they were selling it themselves, it wasn't a 3rd party seller. On both occasions their support dept didn't reply to any emails so I had to go through PayPal.

Their support has been pretty good the couple of times I've had to use it, although to be fair that was just for general questions and they were pretty friendly on live chat. If you've got a problem with a key I guess they'll just refer you to the seller and you'll have to try to work it out with them and they'll fight tooth and nail to keep the money (unless they're really honest). As for your Division key, though - if it was a pre-order the key wouldn't have been available until release day or just before (it does say something to that effect on all preorders on G2A).

How did you get it for that price? I've found it at £2.56, removed shield and said I'm outside the EU, but it's still adding 38p at the paypal checkout. How did you set things?

Let's pay some money to play the game i already have.

Must be the moron race.

I just got the original version on sale a few weeks ago. Now in order to play it with the updated engine do I have to pay again?
I don't mind paying for new content anyway but this seems to be Dead Island running on Dying Light engine.

started playing the original a year ago and it was fun but the graphics looked really quite bad. I found some texture packs but installing them was a pain and they didn't fix everything so I have bought these to bring the game back from the dead (see what I did there?). I paid only £5.33 for the franchise pack a year ago so £10 all in is a great deal for these games remastered.

Non-PC gamers don't understand that we don't have to keep paying to play our old games on our fancy new systems.

Just got the 1st one upgraded for £1.80, nice find OP :smile:

Defo picking this up.
The only game I know that upgraded for free was Dying light but didn't include graphic overhauls to my knowledge.
Metro and sleeping dogs charged and was lots more than this.
Cheers for heads up turkey.
Love these games.

Pretty good deal considering Activision do this annually, Charge RRP and a Season pass to play your old maps. :stuck_out_tongue:

No it was after release day came and went and the key didn't arrive that I took objection. At first I emailed them and they said that demand had outstretched supply so they couldn't fulfill all the orders they had. I replied asking for a refund and got a wall of silence so I had to go through PayPal.

They're just a typical Chinese company at the end of the day unfortunately. They're completely unreliable and should be avoided.

Seems smart and fair, let's hope they actually deliver a superior game :sunglasses:


Sneaky, though it looks like they've closed that loophole, I can't buy a gift copy for my brother :disappointed:
Update: Apparently I need to own the collection to do this, not an individual game.

I am pretty sure I ran dead island originally in 'HD' (jank n all) on my PC :wink: games like wasteland 2 just recently gave a free director cut where it has been rebuilt in a new engine version with improved gameplay and graphics. Divinity original sin is another that added substantial improvement to it and was free to owners... Witcher 2 ... Still, heated as this is super cheap and effectively free

Click the name of the game that you own from the link and it will take you to the page for that game to buy separately.

I'm on the fence about whether I want Retro Revenge or not so I've bought one one Definitive Collection at £6.75 and then extra individual copies of Dead Island + Riptide Definitive Editions at £1.80 each and I'll just trade whatever I don't keep. So these are all just sitting in my inventory as gift copies and I should be able to give them to whoever I want and I still have the option to buy more. The trading forums are already flooded with cheap copies so I assume this is how people are getting them. If you're still stuck let me know and I'll see if I can get you a copy for £1.80.




Yeah that gets me as well - it would have run at 720p on the PS3 and 360, which were considered 'HD' consoles at the time, so are they now saying that they weren't really HD and only 1080p, or 'full' HD, is real HD? But it's been playing at 1080p or higher on PC since day one, so are they now saying that it just wasn't made properly for HD? Like the textures were really low resolution or something? The game is 4.5 years old now, so saying it's a remaster is fine because there's a lot of improvements that could be made to a game that old (and it does look a lot better), but putting 'HD' in as a selling point is a bit ridiculous.

It pays for the work involved in remastering! I have spent many happy hours smashing skulls, and I don't begrudge paying a little more to have a more visceral visual experience.

Yeah I bought a copy myself last night but had issues this morning trying to buy a gift copy. Seems to have sorted itself out now though, cheers.

Can't decide about Riptide though, I don't own the original.

Anyone care to explain why I should get this if I already have the originals?

Can I ask a stupid question... Other than DLC and being remastered is there any "other" differences between them? I do have the originals on PC. Also how do I remove the the Retro Revenge, don't want it.

I was actually gonna start playing dead island soon but I'll pick these up cheap now and hold out :wink: cheers.

Explains how to remove games you own but don't want. Though if there's a gift option I'd be up for it :wink:

Bought one for myself and bought a second one as gift! Thanks OP

I figured it out just click on each individual game and add it to your basket, still at £1.80 without any other game.

No such luck here:

Do you own the previous games?

Still working for me.

interesting that if you own the original games, you can seemingly buy guest copies at this price too.
I have already taken advantage of the offer, but going back through the store, I have been able to add gift copies of each to my account to use later. So if you have theses, you can buy gift copies to give to friends and family or for those that can be bothered I am guessing you could ''sell'' them on (though thats probably breaking some rules somewhere with steam)

No. Think I misunderstood, when you said "with no other games" i thought you meant you managed to get the discount without owning the previous Dead Island games.

Sorry I should have said, I do own previous games.
