    Some useful information here for those that play Dead Island to make the game look better on PC than it does on consoles and also fix that console based FOV and make it wider.

    It's a slow paced step by step guide so its easy to follow but perhaps not the most entertaining :D

    I upped my fov to 82 and disabled motion blur + SSAO (Useless?).
    So much better. :D

    Pretty stupid of the devs not to include stuff like this in the options menu but we PC gamers are masters of tweaking. hehe

    The game already looks good IMO, but I wouldn't mind some enhanced graphics. Really informative video.
