Sony has definitely taken some odd turns when advertising their hardware in the past. The PS4 isn’t even out of the bag yet and we’re already seeing the gloves come off. Below are some mobile ads found by @Nintex_nl that seem to be targeting Nintendo and Microsoft. The above ad is thought to be hitting Nintendo, more specifically Wii Fit.
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."
how?
as far as i know it was microsoft who stated something along the lines of
"ps4 will not go noticed by most in the uk"
talk about them taking the gloves off.
anyways ps4 day 1.
LOL
They are both hilarious
Strongly doubt these are real. I'd like to think Sony PR isn't that immature/petty.
PS4 or not, one little piece of low budget teaser is enough to do that big job and it worked marvelously!
Sony's new PR people.
Great job.
ooh, sony going hard, kind of reminds me a little of what sega was once known for, TRASH TALKING, but funny trash talking, nontheless, i hope sony brings their A game next week.
