Dead Island 2 arrived in a big way this E3. Not only did we not see its release coming, but it debuted with one of the most clever trailers in recent memory. During the show, we were presented with an exclusive presentation of the game (preview forthcoming) and while there was plenty to draw our attention, nothing quite did like this little fact. Dead Island 2 is the first video game to motion capture live cats. Yes, Onimusha did it with horses, Call of Duty: Ghosts did it with dogs and now Dead Island 2 will give the same treatment to felines.

The decision to go through the trouble of stuffing a cat into a motion capture suit is the result of one having a major role in the game. Players will be guided by a man named Max, a former loser who decided to get off the couch after the zombie outbreak and cruise around California in a van supporting the immune and killing zombies. He’s joined by his very grumpy cat, Rick Furry, every step of the way.

So now we have horses, dogs and cats in video games. Logically, we need fishes. Seaman 3, we’re looking at you.
