The Married Gamers staff writer, Addam Kearney, writes why he feels Dead Island and Deep Silver's way of doing business has made it a "better" company than EA, Activision and Ubisoft.
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.
This is called good PR. And an opportunity to hire veterans over scrubs.
Not to call them scrubs but yeah some veteran devs are more welcome than others with less experience
You can hire veterans all day long but it’s the talent Microsoft lacks.
It was mostly outside of gaming. Most of the game studios weren't affected besides 343i and Coalition from what I recall
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. 👏🏽
Publisher formerly known as Koch Media will merge Deep Silver, Prime Matter and Ravenscourt under single brand.
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
Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!
While I can agree with the sentiment of the article in regards to B grade games, I don't feel Dead Island was the polished game it's made out to be. It was released as a pretty buggy game, with one major issue in a cut scene that cropped up on every system.
Better then EA, maybe. But the others? I wouldn't push it.
good fun solid game after they fixed the save character issue, loved the mods PC version had also
this game was buggy as all hell, generic character models, horrible animations, terrible audio design, etc, etc...
