Who needs Netflix anyway ...
Supercell has released its new squad-building action game Squad Busters in Spain, Mexico, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Canada, and Singapore. This game features characters from different Supercell titles, such as Clash of Clans, Brawl Stars, Hay Day, Clash Royale, and Boom Beach.
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
"We thought the PSP and then the PS Vita would be able to deliver console-quality graphics in a handheld form, ironically, it looks like its the graphically power-shy Nintendo who are going to deliver the first true version of an on-the-go console."
PSP and Vita did deliver on those console quality games on the go promises. There were many games released on those platforms that had some parity with the PS2/Wii and PS3/360 versions respectively. Nintendo just seems to have finally given up on Gunpei Yokoi's time tested successful "Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology" philosophy that has carried their handhelds to success over the past 28 years over the more powerful handhelds of the time and just made a powerful handheld of their own.
Switch is missing out on a lot more than just Netflix to make it most people's primary console of choice.
It could, but only time and games will tell.
Right now, my attention will still be split between it and my Wii U, since that's what I use for web browsing recently due to the game pad. Might also get a new game or two for PS3 soon, since there's lots of RPG's I never got for mine...
It never can be my main, I'm a sony fan first through and through. Though this will be my main 2nd console I have always been a sucker for handheld consoles cause of my life style. Also because nintendo to me always makes better product than Microsoft but that's just an opinion.
I know it will become my primary console.
I own a Wii, PS3, Wii U and PS4, but they're all collecting dust simply because I'm a father of a 2 year old toddler so it's really, really hard to get some gaming time back at home.
Switch solves this issue for me, because I will be able to play it for a minimum of 1 hour daily at work, during lunchtime and right after work while I wait a bit for the traffic jams to clear up.
Sure, I could say the same about a 3DS or Vita, but those consoles are a bit lacking in the kind of games I want to play. They just aren't in the same level as the Switch. Screen size and resolution also play a big part on this.
This is why I'm so excited for the Switch and I'm getting it at launch.
