Plus: A brief chat with legendary Nintendo composer Koji Kondo
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.
OK give us Kingdoms of Amalur 2 with AAA budget and we will accept your excuse
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
Anyone see Respawn devs comments left at Phil's recent Helldivers should be on Xbox tweet? "not exactly sure who it helps in the industry to acquire a company and then layoff 1900 of their developers Mr. Spencer"
Phil and MS, you suck
love how he justifies the lay offs with "we need the right people".
its the usual talking-out-of-his-arse interview.
its also very odd that he never really acknowledges that xbox is tanking this hen again and only that "we found ways to get money from people" haha
my god haha
Whats with this buzzword "growth" ???
His comments on physical games don't inspire much confidence.
Also, he says Microsoft ships games physically and digitally, but both Hi-Fi Rush and Hellblade II are digital only.
“ But I will say our strategy does not hinge on people moving all-digital,” he said. “And getting rid of physical, that's not a strategic thing for us.”
Again, absolutely lying through his teeth.
