Microsoft showed off just how much depth Kinect has, Sony introduced PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo revealed Wii U. While each of the three companies all had something unique to show and will help their perspective brands in the coming months and years, neither one of them had that sold showing that really made one stand out over the other."
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."
E3 was really boring to me
Couldn't agree more SUCKED hard.
microsoft was uber bad and laughable
sony showed most before E3, PSV i like and OLED screen i love, party system but no ps3 party system...uh WTF
nintendo showed games from last year, the whole zedla was a joke no game, and they join the HD gen with a Sud HD controller????
yeah thats right its sub hd 6.5 inches, port machine, nintendo should have made a tablet
FAIL THEM ALL
Jeez you guys are winers. When you look in the audience you'll notice it's not gamers who are there, but rather business men in suits and ties. This is a multi billion business for them, and to expect them to focus on games and what not is ludicrous. They could care less about that. That's what the press conferences are there for, for the business men.
The show floor is for people like us, getting the chance to play the demos and games.
This e3 wasn't the best, I'll admit, but it wasn't THAT bad. 2012 is looking to be a sharp gaming year, nuff said.
They need to change this site to "N4C"... News for Crybabies... because that is what most of you are... Whaaaaah I didn't get this... I didn't see that...
All three companies showed off some great stuff, yet most of you complain about anything... Try going back to the 80's when I grew up on gaming... Did we whine about E3?.. No, because was no E3... and news about games came from magazines...
Most of you snot-nosed kids are just spoiled babies and you should be lucky to even have 3 game consoles and a boatload of cool games at your disposal... Grow up and stop crying...
If the WiiU isnt coming for a year and a half, I think MS and Sony got a big break (especially MS). Unless the Wii becomes a $99 console (which it may), I dont see skyrocketing sales of a Nintendo console on the horizon for some time. This also allows MS and/or Sony to announce a console sucsessor at next years E3 and still have it ready by the holiday season 12'.
In the short term, the only real battle is going to be the handheld wars.
