The hype for this sure died down quickly... Sad too, because the game is awesome.

Just goes to show how fickle the internet community is.

decimalator4912d ago

What is this Dead Island you speak of?

BigPete79784912d ago

I definitely plan on picking this up when it is finally released. The game looks like a lot of fun.

BigWoopMagazine4911d ago

looks like it'll have a decent length, something we need to see more in campaigns this day and age...

so sick of zombies though... it's beyond me how the rest of the world hasn't gotten "zombie fatigue" yet.

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.

Sonyslave3373d 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.

phoenixwing372d ago

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

Flakegriffin372d ago (Edited 372d ago )

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

Zeref372d ago (Edited 372d ago )

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

Charlieboy333372d ago (Edited 372d 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.

Aloymetal372d 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. 👏🏽

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

CrimsonWing69557d ago

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