Excited to play Dead Island? Then forget all about that cool trailer.
The creator behind Hunter x Hunter is dipping his toes into the world of video game horror with artwork of one of the best-selling PlayStation titles.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
I didn't think it was going to be anything at all like the trailer. I've learned through years of media consumption that trailers mean absolutely nothing in the long run.
What a disappointment.
Even though the two are totally different, it sounds like might still be fun to play.
Hey! At least we can look back and enjoy the trailer, right.... right? Great article
I'll judge for myself when I see some gameplay
joystiq gave the game praise in there article
