Gamers are excited about the new trailer for Dead Island. But what about gamers with children? And is this video reflective of the game, or just a excellent exercise in PR and manipulation? GamerPops' Greg Picken reacts to the Dead Island trailer.
Dying Light 2 developer Techland talks about the "secret formula" to their games' success, and comments on how they see live service games.
Rainbow 6 Siege from December 2015 is not even comparable to whatever that thing is today they call Siege.
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.
This is called good PR. And an opportunity to hire veterans over scrubs.
Not to call them scrubs but yeah some veteran devs are more welcome than others with less experience
You can hire veterans all day long but it’s the talent Microsoft lacks.
It was mostly outside of gaming. Most of the game studios weren't affected besides 343i and Coalition from what I recall
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!

I question this stuff sometimes because it seems too good to be true. Same thing with Bungie. Is it really that they can make those decisions or can the owner, much like a Starbucks that just closes down a branch that attempts to unionize, truly in power and can just replace those with people that will just agree with them?
It's all PR talks. They're trying not to spook the fan base and partners for now. At the end of the day, owning the majority means Tencent has the final say. And they WILL crack down on Techland if they do anger the Overlords.
On the plus side, I'm sure Tencent will pass sweeping internal changes making sure this never happens. So no worries there...
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
I seem to be in a minority here... but... I really like dying light 2. Yeah, they neutered the night time scares but the overall gameplay was way better. And you can block without that shitty riot shield.
Same as you, I enjoyed my time with Dying Light 2, I don't think it was as good as the first one but it was a pretty good game overall.
There's a new update that is either out now or coming very soon that is supposed to reinvigorate the night-time sections of the game among other things. Might be worth playing again with that update as they've also added a lot of other QoL changes as well.
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
whatever, it's just a video.
Goooooood. stop it allready. CHildren can die too! its not like a zombie would stop in front of it and think: "hmm children no good food". COme on people! but i guess not everyone is mature enough to see that this is only a fictional story of a fictional world on a gaming plattform. I mean come on everyone should be strong enough to handle it, and if you cant no one will make you buy it.
all this talking about how evil this is, makes an elephant out of a mise. its like the racism thing on RE5. How shocking it was that there are africans in africa!!! Who would have thought!
"The emotional thread running backwards through this trailer is a young girl, on vacation with her family, who is attacked by zombies, changed into a zombie herself before turning on her father, and casted out of the hotel room window to die on the lawn."
Maybe I'm just weird, but it was the entire family's struggle that was emotional imo. Not just the girl's death.
sigh...won't anyone think of the man that is on fire in the background? I mean...surely that hurts like a bitch. Plus now he's got glass raining down on him. Won't the senseless violence against the AWM cease?!
............................. ....(/s)
Go read Walking Dead and bitch to the creators of that after you're done, because if one dead kid just burns your burgers, oh man you're gonna HATE the Walking Dead.
I don't, I love it I think it's fantastic. I'm not gonna spoil anything but kids die in it, sometimes in ways you wouldn't expect. Very disturbing....effed up ways.
Fuck the Governor.
