You do realize they've released great games in the past, right? Crackdown 3 had a really troubled development, and that wasn't solely Sumo Digital's fault.
No. Its IP is owned by Deep Silver, as far as I'm aware, which is now owned by THQ Nordic. They are always Multiplatform games - it's probably even coming to the Switch (albeit at a later date)
@conqnlifts - yeah, ThQ are practically SEGA, maybe bigger. They have something silly like 80 games in development. They’ve been buying defunct studios and IPs for years. The catalogue that THQ now owns is massive. They wouldn’t give in to MS for a bit of cash, they own too many money printing IPs they can use themselves.
MS needs to stop buying third party devs tbh. They need to make more original studios and stop buying out companies to restrict games from other platforms.
I really like the first game, the only problem was it had a lot of bugs. I never got to finish it, I got to the last stages trying to get 100% completion about 80hrs in and it crashed, corrupting my saved game lol and I didn't want to start over. But I did enjoy playing it.
Nope. THQ Nordic bought Deep Silver a while ago - they are most likely the ones who have re-funded it and brought it back to like (ironically). It'll be one of the THQ surprises they have to show at E3
Isn't Dying Light 2 more of a city building game than a zombie game ? That's the the vibe I got at the reveal but to be honest I haven't read a word about it since then. Dying Light 1 i still great thou, so even if Dying Light 2 bombs or so (unlikely) I can keep on playing Dying Light 1.
The only updates since the 2014 announcement were that Sumo Digital was taking over development (and they mentioned it was "still in development" in 2017 and 2018 despite no announcements or screenshots/trailers), and that THQ Nordic bought Deep Silver so it's now one of their franchises.
It's been in development hell and has been vaporware until just this month when the preorders went live.
I remember seeing a commercial for it while watching TWD. Crazy to think that was 5 years ago though.
That's defo gonna be at the Xbox conference
That would be awesome
It's by Sumo Digital, so not having any hope for this after Crackdown 3
The premises of a Zombie game taking place in California is exciting. Maybe there could even be versions of the GTA 5 crew in the game at some point
