Has the zombie video game bubble burst yet? Well, Deep Silver and Techland certainly hope not with their upcoming release of Dead Island, so get ready to pick up any number of weapons that are each capable of tearing apart the hordes of undead zombies that swarm all over the island piece by piece. Even though the plot and game is unbelievable, they go to great lengths to make this game as realistic as possible with a dramatic combat system, rich RPG elements and a story that is said to grab the attention of players and refuse to let them go. With all the other zombies in video games, will Dead Island be dead in the water or stand above the crowd as the zombie game that fans must play?
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
I have it pre-orderd for PS3 and I hope its good. -crosses fingers-
Im going to trade some games in for it and from what I've seen it at least haas the look of a good game. I'm going to get rise of nightmares too. So its going to be a zombie fest for me
My PSN is Cupcake_0wnage thats with a zero if anyone wants to add me for co-op runs.
I certainly would but I'm currently on xbox as flipmop4 if anyone wants to add me
