The Transformation Of Alexey Omelchuk: The Music Of Metro: Last Light

Sumthing writes:
Ten years ago… I got thrown out of a club. It wasn’t something I did habitually… or ever. I hadn’t had a single drink, swallowed any pills, threatened the bartender or leered at any disinterested women in close proximity. No. I was violently heaved from the premises as I casually danced with a plastic tree. It seemed the most obvious choice as I wasn’t about to you know… ask someone to dance (I try to go through my life annoying the fewest amount of street pedestrians as possible). So I chose this immutable, inanimate mock up of a coconut tree. Now, mind you, I was completely isolated from everyone, and there was nobody for a good 100 feet on all sides. Then out of nowhere these two HUGE bouncers grab me one on each arm, dragged me outside and flung me into the street. Not the sidewalk… the street. On my way through the air, I hit one of my co-workers who was on her way to meet up with our group. I never went out in Austin when I lived there. The ONE time my friends invi...

Metro Video Game Series: A Comprehensive History

The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.

Never got into Exodus, but 2033 was excellent.

kevco33232d ago

Yeah, Exodus just didn't grab me either, sadly.

I absolutely loved 2033 and Last Light, however. Played them both on 360 and then again with the remasters!

anast232d ago

I just started it and it is already miles better than the first 2 which are dated.

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.

Sonyslave3377d ago

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

blackblades377d ago

Circle of life of meh games

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

phoenixwing376d ago

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

Flakegriffin375d ago (Edited 375d ago )

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

Zeref376d ago (Edited 376d ago )

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

Charlieboy333376d ago (Edited 376d 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.

Aloymetal375d 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. 👏🏽
