Well people, the E3 2012 is coming in less than 1 month.
Let’s warm up for it, with the announcements people want to expect, as well as announcements people don’t want to expect.
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much
Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region
that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.
Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.
I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games
It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.
Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo
I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers
The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
I hope DOOM 4 confirmed trailer/release date etc,and i want new info next-gen xbox.
i want a new timesplitters, a new turok, a new warriors game, the last guardian, agent, and the new god of war.
What I want:
Mafia 3 Announcement

From Sony:
Last of Us - gameplay (possible multiplayer/co-op details)
God of War: Ascension - SP gameplay
PSALBR - More gameplay and characters announced

From Microsoft:
Halo 4 - SP campaign gameplay/more MP details
Possible Next Xbox official announcement (coming fall 2013 maybe?)
From Nintendo:

Honestly, Microsoft doesn't seem to have too much up their sleeve other then an announcement of a new console and perhaps tech demos showcasing next-gen hardware. Nintendo is going to push the Wii U and try and show why us hardcore gamers want it. And Sony seems to have a lot up their sleeve and just a lot of anticipated games coming our way. We will see what happens but I am most excited to see Sonys showcase.
