Bethesda & Xbox To Meet Up With Laid-Off 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.

Sonyslave3250d ago

Yes they did , it the circle of life in the tech bizz.

Circle of life of meh games

This is called good PR. And an opportunity to hire veterans over scrubs.

phoenixwing249d ago

Not to call them scrubs but yeah some veteran devs are more welcome than others with less experience

Flakegriffin249d ago (Edited 249d ago )

You can hire veterans all day long but it’s the talent Microsoft lacks.

Zeref249d ago (Edited 249d ago )

It was mostly outside of gaming. Most of the game studios weren't affected besides 343i and Coalition from what I recall

Charlieboy333249d ago (Edited 249d ago )

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.

Aloymetal249d ago

Nope, like Redfall, Craig infinite

We might be in the age of remasters, but it doesn't look like the Dead Island 2 devs believe remaking the original game is the right move for the series.

but remakes require far less effort for these companies and they can still charge $70 for them!

Feel like everyone makes fun of Skyrim re-releasing like 18 times yet applaud these remasters elsewhere. Would much prefer NEW games

CrimsonWing69434d ago

Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!
