Deep Silver is finally talking after all this time, and it promises that progress is being made on the game. Speaking with Eurogamer, Deep Silver assured fans that the game was still in development at Sumo Digital. Dead Island 2 is in development at Sumo Digital, and...
While I was checking out Agents of Mayhem from Volition, I got to wondering, why are all of Volitionâs games purple? With Agents of Mayhem, âItâs something we decided quite early on,â said Design Director Anoop Shekar. âOur brand has now become so identified through Saints Row that we thought it was a great way to leverage it for people to be able to recognize it and say âhey, that...
When I checked out Agents of Mayhem at E3 last year, I left intrigued but concerned. The game is solid, but at the time, I didnât really feel like it stood out. Volition has a lot to live up to, both acknowledging the game as part of the Saints Row universe and establishing as a separate, memorable thing, instead of a spin-off of a bigger series. At a recent preview event hosted by...
While the Saints Row series is far from Volitionâs only contribution to gaming (Iâm a big fan of Red Faction: Guerrilla, myself), itâs certainly one of their biggest, and the series has shaped the direction of the studio for a long time. I played Agents of Mayhem for the first time at E3 last year, though my play session back then was far too short to get a strong sense of what I was...
The ever-going drama behind Deep Silverâs upcoming zombie shooter Dead Island 2 continues with the mysterious disappearance of its Steam page. As picked up by NeoGAF, the game simply isnât there anymore and all relevant tags have since been removed as well. Naturally, given the behind-the-scenes circumstances, this led a good many fans to believe that the game has been canceled once...
If you pick up Dead Island Definitive Edition on disc, your experience is going to be slightly different depending on which platform you pick it up on. On the Xbox One, youâll be able to install both games right off the disc â Dead Island and Dead Island Riptideâs remastered editions are both there and ready to enjoy. If you buy it on PlayStation 4, though, youâll get Dead Island on...
Dead Island 2 was all but buried when Spec Ops: The Line developer Yager Entertainment stepped away from the project, thanks to ârespective visionsâ that âfell out of alignment.â However, like the majority population of a zombie apocalypse, Deep Silverâs Dead Island franchise just wonât keel over and die. The publisher has dug up the corpse of its all-but-forgotten sequel and has...
Dead Island 2 has gone silent since it was first announced last year. It failed to turn up at E3 2015, and now we have a pretty clear idea why. The development studio behind it, Yager development, has departed from the project. Deep Silver has released a statement, saying that it will continue to work on Dead Island 2 without the team. With Dead Island 2, Deep Silver has always been...
Yager Development has pushed Dead Island 2 back into 2016. The follow-up to the middling Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide was to be released for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this spring, but Yager believes that more time is needed to take it âto the next level.â The Spec Ops: The Line developer made its case for the delay in a long statement. We have always set ourselves a...
Itâs been a week since we learned the release date of Adventures of Pip, and I already have the confirmation of another game I backed! I am in the good graces of the Kickstarter deities, it would appear. Mega Man co-creator Keiji Inafune and his studio Comceptâs Mighty No. 9 will be released on Sept. 18 for pretty much every platform under the sun: the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4,...
