Dead Island PS3 Review - GamePron

GamePron - Having played what was a fun, yet clunky preview of Dead Island, I was interested to see how a final/updated copy would have changed. After hearing about the dev build fiasco on Steam, I wasn’t expecting too much, but was pleasantly surprised by the PS3 edition. The Dead Islanders handle a lot more smoothly and their movements are very forgiving for players. You turn quickly and accurately enough to see what’s biting you when you need, and the characters now felt like they could actually outmanoeuvre their pursuers.

I like your review, and granted it can get a little boring at times, but to me it's still fun as hell putting tons of weapons together to smash some heads, arms, and legs. It was a little repetitive, but at the same time, I was enjoying myself enough that I didn't really care.

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.

Sonyslave3590d ago

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

phoenixwing589d ago

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

Flakegriffin588d ago (Edited 588d ago )

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

Zeref589d ago (Edited 589d ago )

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

Charlieboy333589d ago (Edited 589d 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.

Aloymetal588d 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

CrimsonWing69773d ago

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