E3 2012 is fast approaching and the big 3 all seem to be lining up their ducks and getting ready for the big show. Gaming’s “superbowl” will no doubt deliver on many occasions and yours truly couldn’t be more excited. I feel like a kid on Christmas getting ready to tear into my presents and cannot wait for the conferences to start. Next week will be big for Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo and myvideogamenews has outlined the strengths and weaknesses of the big 3 for E3 2012
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
"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."
i...can't....wait
I dunno about Sony or Nintendo's weakness but MS weakness is not enough Hardcore none Kinect games thats pretty much all I can think of.
E3 Team Xbox.
Sony- s=massive media and content for ps3/Vita
W= A lot of pressure to deliver surprises might leave people expecting more. (not me though)
Ms S-They are building a media hub and have halo 4
W- that it will be to heavily kinect focussed which will be boring and they are predictable.
Nintendo- S- new console always brings hype
W- price and games might get scrutinised if not up to par with expectations.
IMO
