Deep Silver pledge 'never again' over Dead Island's "grotesque" statuette
Deep Silver is in deep doodie as they reel from the backlash of having a "grotesque take on an iconic Roman marble torso sculpture," which features breasts and a bikini, as a promotional item.
As part of the Dead Island: Riptide 'Zombie Bait Edition', a 31cm by 18.5cm statuette of grisly remains is/was included in the box. The publisher now says it "sincerely regrets" the decision.

Zombies + Island = Tourist Trap. Techland has revealed more details about their upcoming sequel Dead Island: Riptide, which will be adding a "classic zombie trope" of barricading against the horde.
It makes "complete sense" to add areas that need defending by survivors with fortifications. Water is to play a larger role as monsoons "have now come to the archipelago." Dynamic weather FTW!

Producer Sebastian Reichert for Techland's Dead Island: Riptide is trying to understand why their game is banhammered in Germany, when other violent action titles sail on through to retail.
Under Germany law if enemies are "human-like then you have a problem," said Reichert. Zombies are of course former humans, and hacking at them post-death is "mutilation of corpses." Big no-no.
