In a late night surprise, it appears that some users are reporting that Dead Island 2 has been stealth dropped on Xbox Game Pass.
Instead of helping the developers and publishers recuperate development and marketing costs by buying the games you are interested in so that they can keep creating new games in the future, you place the burden on PS and PC gamers (who actually buy games) to fund the game development.
That is Game Pass in a nutshell.
Valve gave this game away for free last week. You need to go after them?
You realize MS pays the devs to get the game on GP right?
Sony is offering a service where games that are past their self life can generate more income. That's not Sony's main strategy for games and gamers.
Game Pass is for many developers/publishers the only CHANCE to even make SOME money on Xbox platform. Xbox's main strategy is Game Pass, and Xbox gamers don't buy games the same way PS and PC players do, and that is not sustainable.
Yeh, I checked that (sad face). Only option for PC gamers with Ultimate is to cloud stream.
It's on torent sites though so if you want it free like most xbox users just get it there
Free? Pretty sure I pay a monthly subscription to access the games.
Nah, I'm good on that man. I used to torrent games when I was younger, not anymore though. Not trying to get my $2000 PC infected with malware. Plus, I've got a decent job so I can afford to buy my games/subscriptions.
LIcensing to include PC is much more expensive than just console. Especially for a non-GaaS game.
But they want to grow gamepass on PC so really they should still try and license both it's not uncommon however e.g. red dead redemption 2, GTA v both came to console gamepass and xcloud but not PC.
I wanna know about co-op, to me these kind of games are always more fun to play with friends. As a big zombie fan myself, I'm really hoping this game delivers. In my opinion games like Back 4 Blood and Dying Light 2 haven't quite lived up to the hype, so hopefully this game finally breaks that trend. We're in need of a badass zombie game.
OK I was trying to stay pessimistic on this game with all the development trouble it has been through, but this looks phenomenal. the visuals, sound, atmosphere, and especially the FLESH system look like they come together to make the perfect pulpy zombie game. I'm officially hyped damnit.
This video and some recent previews have pretty much removed any concerns I had about this game. The skill cards thing seemed weird at first, but it really seems like it will allow us to play the way we want. I also just read a preview that pointed out that the nights are sufficiently dark and very creepy in spots. I was hoping the game would still have at least a hint of fear to it and it seems that is the case.
Fingers crossed you can remove the health bars and damage numbers. Huge immersion killer and honestly the gore should tell the story how close to death the enemies are. Get rid of those and it looks almost perfect to me.. looks like a serious sleeper hit is coming.
Dead Island released when I graduated high school. The groundbreaking trailer released when I was a junior. The development of this game is hilarious
I love being surprised in a good way!
