Deep Silver has denied a story that it is working with Yager Development on a sequel to Dead Island.
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.
Deep Silver has revealed that several of its major franchises would not be at E3 2021 or the Summer Game Fest.
Kind of expected TS4 not to be there since they just got a team together for it
Their parent (Embracer) owns close to 70 studios now and they have ~150 games in development.. but those three are certainly amongst the largest IP they hold so not an unfair point..
Dead Island 2 is such a weird one - it reminds me of Homefront in that its a sequel to a fairly ordinary game and going through multiple developers and concepts.. unless it is shaping up to be properly amazing, at some point somebody needs to just say this game isn't worth the time and money.
Some truth in advertising here, as they must really know something(y) that I don't know.

I just hope that the next Saint's Row is a bit more grounded. SR2 was great because in terms of gameplay and story it had just enough wackiness. SR3 was good, and fun, but got a bit too crazy adding zombies and all that. Just go back to what made SR2 so great.
i would not mind that, dead island was fun for me. game could use alot of upgrades but still very fun. if so cant wait to play it. just dont take like 7 years to make it. lol
