Well that... sucks. I don't like any of their games, and none of them are even close to Saints Row/Metro.

This is the firm who goes by Deep Silver right? They have some decent stuff like Dead Island and Risen under them. Hard to tell if anything will change or if they will just let the studios continue their work.

Dead Island and Risen arn't that great of games and they have no expirence with games like METRO and Saints Row.

True, but if they are obtaining all of Volition, they could just be letting the studio continue to work on SR4 - no need to change a working formula.

Dead Island is a good game and virtually lies somewhere in between METRO and Saints Row. Besides both games already in production and hopefully the very same people will continue work on them.

I've played Dead Island and personally I don't find it that enjoyable. The only good thing about it is that you can play it with friends. Deep Silver has announced that they will be taking full control of the Metro and Saints Row franchises instead of leaving them with Volition.

I've played Dead Island and found it very enjoyable. Incidentally playing games with friends is not something I care for. I find it mostly annoying feature development of which takes away valuable time from other aspects of the game.
How exactly can they not leave it in Volition's hands? Deep Silver is a publisher and not a developer (in Dead Island case it was Techland).

Aw. There's always some well informed individual on standby to ruin my juvenile pleasure

It's not like they can make a game worse than SR3.

i gues that now Deep silver owns Voliton and Metro that the new games of Deep silver will be better, like animations for the Players in Dead island Riptide

They didn't hire new people to help them develop existing games, they bough entirely new game studio to essentially make more games. Bottom line, Volition won't affect Dead Island: Riptide in any way. At least I don't think so.

Actually I think it's quite good news. Koch Media owns Deep Silver, yes, but they also distribute some games from Square Enix, Paradox, Codemasters, Ascaron etc. All these studios pretty much do what they want - even Deep Silver. Compared to all the realistic choices who might have acquired Volition Inc, this is a rather good one.
At least I think Koch Media is a serious company that won't just buy the brand-name.

I would imagine they would just let the devs continue making Saints Row 4 like normal?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

Not as happy about this one as the Relic purchase, but at least it means that Saints Row and Metro won't be dropped.
