I wonder if they'll do QA this time.

Standalone addon, for $50?!?! Wow.

I wonder whether it will feature an entirely new location.

I presumes there will obviously be four new playable-characters to choose from.

Bethesda & Xbox To Meet Up With Laid-Off Deep Silver Volition Employees

According to a LinkedIn post, Bethesda and Xbox Game Studio representatives will meet up with Deep Silver Volition employees.

shinoff2183654d ago (Edited 654d ago )

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.

Sonyslave3654d ago

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

Circle of life of meh games

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

phoenixwing653d ago

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

Flakegriffin652d ago (Edited 652d ago )

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

Zeref653d ago (Edited 653d ago )

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

Charlieboy333653d ago (Edited 653d 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.

Aloymetal652d 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. 👏🏽

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

CrimsonWing69837d ago

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