Dead Island: Riptide developer Techland has contested comments made by Deep Silver last week about its decision not to release the game on Wii U, claiming that the reason to skip Nintendo's console has nothing to do with Chrome Engine's capabilities.
Dying Light 2 developer Techland talks about the "secret formula" to their games' success, and comments on how they see live service games.
Dying Light 2 was horrible. I played it at launch and it was a buggy and broken piece of shit. I didn't enjoy the game's locale either. They've released a ton of patches and updates for it though, and I'm somewhat keen to give it another chance. But the game left a horrible impression on me, especially seeing as how the first one was my favourite game last gen.
According to a LinkedIn post, Bethesda and Xbox Game Studio representatives will meet up with Deep Silver Volition employees.
That's pretty cool, but didn't they just lay of 10k as a whole. Reportedly some from the gaming division even.
Confused in pa.
But of course. Just look at the latest Saint's Row....that is exactly the level of quality and writing that Xbox strives for these days.
There u go. This is way more acceptable than buying up studios. Buy individual talent until you strengthen your already owned studios. 👏🏽

"We will retain full ownership of our IPs, maintain creative freedom, and continue to operate the way we believe is right. I'm also going to continue serving as the studio’s CEO."
Unless it angers China and Winnie the Poop. Then I'm out of a job and we'll be fu...Ahem. Anyways. Please clap and be excited!
Thank you!

New open world fantasy action rpg is going well apparently. Been watching some Dying Light 2 endgame as well. We’ll see how it all turns out.
Dead island 2 is a better game than dying light 2. So whatever you do please make more fun games
More consolidation... Not good.
I really hope that the main "asset" with a company like tech land is it's people, and if you jerk around the people, they'll leave and make great games for someone else, maybe start something new.
Maybe tools like unreal will lower the barriers to entry to make this easier?
Dunno, trying to be optimistic that this, too, will pass.
Ultimately if they can't make good games, the investment will fail and the good people will move on.. I hope
It totally makes more sense that the lack of the title showing up has everything to do with the poor hardware sales at this point. If the system picks up over the year as more AAA Nintendo titles are releasing, then obviously some of these developers may wish to port over their games.
They're still using the; ''Nintendo hardware isn't powerful enough to run our games'' excuse?
I'm glad an ''actual developer'' set things straight.
-There is always that moment in a gaming generation where a lie is propagated into fruition.
If you keep saying games won't sell on WiiU
THEN they won't because they won't ever be on WiiU.
If they keep lying about the WiiU's Power,
THEN no one will buy the Wii U to by games because everyone will think it can't run current game engines.
Not saying Nintendo did everything perfect but crap like this is hurting more.
So publishers are basically too scared to put it on a system, fearing it won't sell as well. It's all about money.
