Trademark confirms Zombie Bait Edition for Dead Island: Riptide

Yesterday Deep Silver announced Dead Island: Riptide's Rigor Mortis Edition for the US. They said they would have more info on the European Collector's Edition's release 'soon'. But we from PSX-Sense don't like to wait for soon (whatever soon is!), we want it now! So we started digging ourselves and found some bait...

Good. Live Services are trash for the most part.

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

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.

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.

Sonyslave3221d ago

Yes they did , it the circle of life in the tech bizz.

blackblades221d ago

Circle of life of meh games

mkis007221d ago (Edited 221d ago )

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

phoenixwing220d ago

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

Flakegriffin220d ago (Edited 220d ago )

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

Zeref220d ago (Edited 220d ago )

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

Charlieboy333220d ago (Edited 220d 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

ravens52220d ago

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!

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

Christopher274d ago

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?

SimpleSlave274d ago (Edited 274d 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_Bomb274d 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.

neutralgamer1992274d ago

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

got_dam274d 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.

CoNn3rB274d 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_thegoat274d ago

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

crazyCoconuts274d 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
