Dead Island: Trailer Family to Appear In Game

SPOnG: "Deep Silver's brand manager Vincent Kummer has defended the publisher's controversial teaser trailer for Dead Island, telling SPOnG that it was a good representation of the final product - but added that the game will not be as emotional as the trailer suggested."

wait I though they weren't in it?

"Kummer added that the family in the CG trailer will appear in some capacity in the final game - whether as bit-part characters you meet or as playable entities remains to be seen."

oh well it's good to keep them linked, now for some gameplay?

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.

Sonyslave3213d ago

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

phoenixwing212d ago

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

Flakegriffin212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

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

Zeref212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

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

Charlieboy333212d ago (Edited 212d 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.

Aloymetal212d 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. 👏🏽

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

CrimsonWing69397d ago

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