...but Volition Inc are still making the game. Deep Silver won't have anything to do with it

Deep Silver are just the publishers....actually isn't Koch Media the publishers...Deep Silver is one of their studios like Volition Inc.

"Deep Silver is Koch Media's video game label"
Go look it up on Wikipedia

Root4103d ago

Oh yeah Techland were the devs

Anyway.....my the other point remains, they won't have anything to do with the game Deep Silver arn't making it Volition are.

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.

Sonyslave3222d 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.

phoenixwing221d ago

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

Flakegriffin221d ago (Edited 221d ago )

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

Zeref221d ago (Edited 221d ago )

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

Charlieboy333221d ago (Edited 221d 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.

Aloymetal220d ago

Nope, like Redfall, Craig infinite

There u go. This is way more acceptable than buying up studios. Buy individual talent until you strengthen your already owned studios. 👏🏽

Dead Island 2 devs believe a Dead Island remake would be a “mistake”

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

CrimsonWing69405d ago

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