The holding company has been cutting jobs across its companies.

Egil Strunke shared the news on Monday and claimed he’d left the holding company – which owns many game developers such as Gearbox and Crystal Dynamics – last week.

Never liked this company, I knew all those acquisitions would blow up in their faces.

Man, I really hope all this doesn't affect the supposed return of Soul Reaver... They asked fans if they wanted to see a return and said they were working on something if I'm not mistaken.

Sony is taking to long to take a proper action on this.

They´re too busy making sh!t acquisitions to even bother with a nearly bankrupt Embracer. Then later, they´ll go out crying and complaining that MS wants to buy everything. Smdh.

MS is taking too long to make a good game.

They're too busy making shit acquisitions to even bother with managing their existing studios. Then later, they'll go out crying that they are the underdog in the industry and continue to pays billions like it is nothing to buy up the rest of the industry.

RAFTECH26207d ago

No good news is coming from Sony.

I don’t think they can aquire anything…..
They messed up with bungie, and laying off people.

This is reality

They own ALOT of studios. More than anyone else except for maybe Tencent. A lot of this is probably clutter. Sony would probably be better server purchasing individual studios or IP from Embracer then simply buying the whole thing. Plus all of their games should be coming to PlayStation anyway. So why buy the publisher?

Everytime I get to a new part in Rebirth it’s “mini game time”

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's Scope Was Impacted by Xbox Series S Limitations

Wccf tech writes: "Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's scope was impacted by the Xbox Series S hardware limitations, as developers could only make a game that was 25% bigger than its predecessor."

This is the issue with things like this

Xbox Series X is apparently to MS the worlds most powerful console

However the Series S is obviously a limitation because it’s underpowered and developers have to go for parity.

So what’s the point of the world’s most powerful console if you are holding third party developers back? They aren’t going to push themselves if they have to think about the weakest console.

The issue wouldn’t be as bad if it was just Xbox but you are also affecting the PS version aswell

I think developers need to start just taking advantage of a console and if one of them can’t do X Y and Z then f*** them…why should the others suffer. What’s MS going to do? The bigger the franchise the least chance MS are going to tell them to f*** off. Baulders Gate 3 seemed to have stood their ground and suddenly their “strict” parity rule didn’t really matter. We suddenly got super optimisation efforts for the Series S that got things sorted.

I agree, and the sad part is use normal folk saw it the second they announced their plans.

More info from the author of the article, I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/ki...

Quote:
"1) I was told this info from the producer of the game Martin Klíma.
2) He specifically said the game will have only one mode.
3) And this mode is 4K 30 on PS5/XSX and 1440p 30 on XSS.
4) He said that the game is already running north of the 30 FPS cap so the performance should be stable on launch, much better than KCD1.
5) The limitation was XSS because of the 10GB memory. He said that's why they wanted to make the game 25% larger.
6) Speculation on my part: the output resolution is probably upscaled and the reason why there won't be a 60 FPS mode is because it'll most likely be very CPU heavy, like Dragon's Dogma 2 for example."

Doesn't seem like they're adding a 40fps mode on PS5/Series X for launch even if they can handle it.

Sgt_Slaughter29m ago

I'd much rather have 1440p/60fps or even 45fps. Having just one, even with the Series S in mind, is disappointing.
