Hardcore Gamer: When you walk in to a store to buy a video game, you’ve probably already checked out reviews online. If it’s scored low, that doesn’t mean it’ll be bad game to all who play which is why some might buy it anyway. That’s not the case with Escape Dead Island.
Fatshark CEO Martin Wahlund states that a strict release dates can hinder a game's release if it doesn't allow developers to polish the game.
Well the developers need to be at a set point in development before they can put a garuntee on the date. Its up to them to know if they can get it done and polished in a realistic time frame. IMO, the game should be playable from start to finish before a date is set. Then from there they have time to polish,bug test,and any other sort of fixes before the release date. All we get now are ship now fix later type of mentality.
GameWatcher - Warhammer Vermintide 2 developer Fatshark explains why their last game Escape Dead Island disappointed, and how they learned their lesson for the first Vermintide: "the key thing as a developer is to control your release date".
“Dead Space Ignition and Escape Dead Island are coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility today."
They should just put them in every bag at Walmart, because that's the only way they'll ever get rid of them.
why doesnt n4g filter these garbage articles?
I personally kind of enjoyed the game..sure, it had some glaring issues, but I had fun with it...even played through it twice for ng+
I'll buy it eventually. I actually enjoyed Dead Island to some extent. It's very well a cult franchise, but that's not necessarily bad for the fans.
I'll pick it up when it gets dirt cheap, like the others.
