Since the Wii U Press Conference wrapped up last Thursday, I have heard some complaints across the internet by gamers and journalists that the Wii U is too expensive. We here at Playeressence.com could not disagree more. We actually think the price is just right for what you get.
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
They can form a company if they want, they are just as jobless as if "Microsoft had left them as 3rd party".
"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....
(Citation from a week old article)
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."
"Not expensive"?
There's a $150 Wii U controller that says otherwise.
I think the wii U will flourish. I already pre-ordered and i hope that many gamers will follow. It is a shame that the wii U is doing so well and another device which is love is struggeling ( the vita)
I agree the wiiu is a DX11/opengl 4.1 capable console with a GPGPU has EDRAM shared across the gpu/cpu and supports compute shader 11 enough said i think.
And a tablet controller that is just amazing for off screen web browsing or gaming wow.
U can use 1 of 3 storage mediums all 3rd party so no need to worry about getting cheap high performance storage as thats all their i'm very pleased with wiiu its a next gen console with the best of everything.
So much damage control. Yes, for a "next-gen" that has 2005-2006 tech in it, $300 is expensive.
i actualli want a wii u its first time i ever wanted a nintendo console from launch.
