If it's like the game it will be incredibly buggy. Possibly the wrong month, or with the wrong number of days, or even the wrong year.

I hope they pin this calendar to a secure place. Because if it drop on the ground it will sure vanish like a dozen of my purple weapons.

Bethesda & Xbox To Meet Up With Laid-Off Deep Silver Volition Employees

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.

Sonyslave3650d 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.

phoenixwing649d ago

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

Flakegriffin649d ago (Edited 649d ago )

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

Zeref649d ago (Edited 649d ago )

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

Charlieboy333649d ago (Edited 649d 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.

Aloymetal649d 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. 👏🏽

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

CrimsonWing69834d ago

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