Ravens204621d ago

FInally! lol Hopefully we see more reviews soon so I can make a decision!

Miiikeyyy4621d ago

I need to Pre-order this soon, So I'm waiting for a few more reviews! 8.5 sounds good so far!

Lavalamp4621d ago

8,5? Did they award it two scores? Sh*t just got real.

Ares904621d ago

maybe the user who submitted this article is not from America, I know in other countries they use "," instead of "." for decimals.

KorekSAN4621d ago

sorry for that, I live in Europe where we use "," :)

Skate-AK4621d ago

Hopefully reviews like this keep coming out since I have it payed it off already. This also makes me happy since it's a PS3 magazine and barely any PS3 footage has been shown so at least I know it runs well.

KorekSAN4621d ago

this guy must be a reviewer cause he got lots of material on his youtube channel - and it is from PS3 - http://www.youtube.com/user...

Well,on my trip on Italy I bought the OPM Italy and they had the first Homefront Review.It was a 9!Not sure if I can trust these guys when it comes to scores...as for the review,I don't speak or read Italian,therefore I can't read it :/

Huffman4621d ago

That doesn't bode well...

Silentmerc3nary4618d ago (Edited 4618d ago )

Some people thought Homefront was worthy of a 9. Myself included. Still playing multiplayer right now. Just comes down to what you think, I guess.

8.5 is a really good score. Much better than I anticipated.

Techland Talks Dying Light 2 "Secret Formula" for Success, No Intention of Going Full Live Service

Dying Light 2 developer Techland talks about the "secret formula" to their games' success, and comments on how they see live service games.

UltimateOwnage37d ago

Good. Live Services are trash for the most part.

AuraAbjure36d ago

Rainbow 6 Siege from December 2015 is not even comparable to whatever that thing is today they call Siege.

banger8836d ago

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.

"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!

o( _ _ )o All Hail our Megacorp Overlord! Hail Hydra!!

I question this stuff sometimes because it seems too good to be true. Same thing with Bungie. Is it really that they can make those decisions or can the owner, much like a Starbucks that just closes down a branch that attempts to unionize, truly in power and can just replace those with people that will just agree with them?

SimpleSlave276d ago (Edited 276d ago )

It's all PR talks. They're trying not to spook the fan base and partners for now. At the end of the day, owning the majority means Tencent has the final say. And they WILL crack down on Techland if they do anger the Overlords.

On the plus side, I'm sure Tencent will pass sweeping internal changes making sure this never happens. So no worries there...

P_Bomb276d ago

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.

neutralgamer1992276d ago

Dead island 2 is a better game than dying light 2. So whatever you do please make more fun games

got_dam276d ago

I seem to be in a minority here... but... I really like dying light 2. Yeah, they neutered the night time scares but the overall gameplay was way better. And you can block without that shitty riot shield.

CoNn3rB276d ago

Same as you, I enjoyed my time with Dying Light 2, I don't think it was as good as the first one but it was a pretty good game overall.

There's a new update that is either out now or coming very soon that is supposed to reinvigorate the night-time sections of the game among other things. Might be worth playing again with that update as they've also added a lot of other QoL changes as well.

Masterchief_thegoat276d ago

china and winnie the pooh getting majority shareholder is not a great.

crazyCoconuts276d ago

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

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

CrimsonWing69406d ago

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