Push Square: "Sony Online Entertainment is no more. As part of a shock announcement yesterday, the MMO developer confirmed that it had been acquired by a New York investment group named Columbus Nova, and would be rebranding itself as the Adrian Chiles-inspired Daybreak Game Company. This obviously came as a surprise to many, with the company's immediate insistence on multiformat development seeming a touch odd – but we reckon that it may be good news for all involved."
Daybreak Games announces its strategic investment to acquire Cold Iron Studios, developer of PC and console game based in the Alien universe.
It could be good if done right. I would think this should be easy as there is a ton of source material.
Sony wouldn't have let Daybreak go if they felt the studio was going in the right direction and supplying games that would sell.
Also, I have never seen a game taken over by another studio mid-way through development become successful.
I am dubious as to the quality this game will deliver!
So, lemme get this straight: you know what the fans want, you've heard the outcries, and you decide to do this?
Alien Isolation worked so well, because it fits the alien horror theme on the other hand when you have group of marines, the real alien atmosphere disapears. Shooter will be a lot harder to make it right, after last try (colonial marines) i dont give it much chance... But if the game would be something like multiplayer only: humanVsAlienVsPredator teams asymetrical, gear/gene progression, procedural map generation - this could work for me.
Robert Mueller’s investigation of U.S. President Donald Trump has taken all sorts of strange turns over the past year and a half, but this might be one of the strangest: It turns out that Trump’s lawyer has a circuitous connection to the video game company behind games like H1Z1 and Everquest.
H1Z1 is Russian propaganda that tipped the scales in the 2016 election? Oh it didn’t? Who cares.
Trumpers will continue to scream no collusion, while new tides between trump and Russia keep being uncovered.
Oh I forgot Russia gooood, Fbi baaad /s.
Lmao the leftist keep on spreading the propaganda to any and every media component owned by them...I look to kotaku or any video game website for accurate unbiased “news”
Everquest players getting banned for using severely discounted CD Keys.
It definitely makes sense, I already thought about it before the PS4 launch because they didn't commit themselves to the console even though they were a part of Sony. It's just a strange timing right now.
