fool: "In the latest generation of video game consoles, Microsoft and Sony let Nintendo get a year's head start. If the ghost of Nintendo's past is anything like the ghost of Xbox One's or PS4's future, this is shaping up to be a real horror show."
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."
The name of this website is ridiculously apt after you read the article, which I suggest you don't bother.
Let me save you the trouble. Because the Wii U sold only 160,000 units, Sony and Microsoft should be worried that the console market is on life support.
Utterly ridiculous claim. People who don't game and don't understand gaming should not attempt to talk about gaming because they end up grouping consoles together as though they are all the same thing, and offer all the same things, when they aren't and don't.
nintendo's wiiu issues won't effect sony or ms in the least. people know what the wiiu has to offer and decided to skip on it this time around. the real next gen consoles will out-sell the wiiu in no time.
I do feel consoles have reasons to worry but not due to this. This is why I preach unity among console gamers. We NEED to support the medium we enjoy. I rad an article that said the Oculus Rift will support mobile devices before consoles due to the fact that phones/tablets get stronger and stronger year after year but consoles update hardware once every 8 years now. I am concerned because I love consoles...
