Afterwords: Dead Island

GameInformer: It's been several months since Dead Island bloodied game consoles with harrowing first-person survival. Since then, developer Techland has been busy updating the game and crafting the upcoming DLC, which follows the tale of newcomer Ryder White. While the makers of the genre-blending undead thrill ride are still hard at work, Sebastian Reichert, producer at Deep Silver, took the time to answer some of our post-mortem questions about the implementation of melee combat, the trailer's reception, and standing out from the hordes of other zombie games.

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.

Sonyslave3976d 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.

phoenixwing975d ago

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

Flakegriffin975d ago (Edited 975d ago )

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

Zeref976d ago (Edited 976d ago )

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

Charlieboy333975d ago (Edited 975d 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.

Aloymetal975d 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

CrimsonWing691160d ago

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