Gaming Angels Present - PAX Preview: Dead Island

Dead Island… Zombies, buckets of blood, use everything you see on your path to kill the zombies, and a story to go with it. What else do you want? If you aren’t convinced already to get the game when it releases on September 6th, nothing I say will convince you. What I can tell you is that I got a chance to play with the game at PAX Prime this year and my hunger for killing zombies grew instead of being sedated...

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.

Sonyslave3253d ago

Circle of life of meh games

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

phoenixwing252d ago

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

Flakegriffin252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

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

Zeref252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

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

Charlieboy333252d ago (Edited 252d 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.

Aloymetal252d 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

CrimsonWing69437d ago

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