Sean Knight isn't sold on the idea that the next-gen consoles are ready for launch. Read on to find out why.
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
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
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.
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
and here we go with the second stage after the hype articles: The Doom & Gloom.
It launched and it wasn`t a disaster.
Microsoft and Sony both made the same decision: start production when the hardware was ready because the software can always be updated. The result is that while a day one patch will be required, at least you'll have a console on day one. The alternative would mean hardware shortages across the board and nobody would have gotten one at launch.
Personally I'm more than fine with having to download a patch at launch than having the consoles in short supply that I'd never get one.
Mine worked fine. I'm downloading the plus stuff now even though it says psn is undergoing maintenance. I played shadow fall first and it didn't sound "like a jet engine". I had a extra rubber circle thing that came from a tv I no longer have and fit perfectly and discreetly under the "wobble" corner. I'm happy as hell the ps store is quick and I got better connection speeds in the test them I ever did with my ps3. This wasn't a disaster in the least and I hope mass panic and trolls die down soon. I don't want to have to read the same things when xbox one launches. Electronics fail my friends and if you buy either console at the minimum you have a year to get a new one, let's try and be adults here.
Let's just say the review s haven't been that great now and the console problems software or hardware has not helped..
If your ps4 is 'A' okay then you'll be having a grand of weekend but those that purchased online that have issues are out of luck this weekend.
To make things worst, just like when the hottest phones come out and yours is defective, you have to wait for more shipments to get replacements. ..or wait for repairs from manufacturers.
I'll be praying next week for my xbox one. Xbox owners sure know the feeling.
