Monster Hunter World is the next mainline game in Capcom’s long-running Monster Hunter series, and it’ll be the first entry to be made available around the world at the same time. Capcom really wants this game to crack the West.
Embracer CEO demonstrates a masterclass in mental gymnastics in latest interview.
"I'm sure I deserve a lot of criticism, but I don't think my team or companies deserve all the criticism. I could take a lot of that blame myself. But ultimately I need to believe in the mission," he said.
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.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.
Great write-up; thanks for sharing.
MHW is currently my most anticipated title. As a western fan, I've played every iteration since the original PS2 release, although I've always struggled to enjoy co-operative experiences on PSP, Wii(U) and 3DS. I've never managed to convert any of my friends.
Hopefully the PS4 crowd will warm to it this time around and it'll finally achieve the global recognition it deserves.
Seems like a great title to welcome newcomers
Never been so excited for a game from a series I've never played, and know nothing about. The gameplay footage has me absolutely sold.
Why does it sound like the person who wrote the article never really played the game but instead watched the demo presentation which was played and is on YouTube, that is exactly what happens in the video despite the article being a good rite up lol..
That is the problem with the west, unless you played MH on ps2 or any Nintendo consoles or handhelds then you don't know what monster Hunter is. Players who have not played one before, my advice is take the gamble, I don't usually say it but I do with MHW, it will be truly epic..
The franchise from where it was first born, has come so far, I've had the easier of experienceing it all the way and I've never been dissapointed..
Stoked on this game!
