This move makes life much more difficult for game studios. It’s tough enough developing a game for the Xbox One without having a second version that supports HDR graphics and a third version whose buyers not only expect native 4K graphics, but also other benefits of the monster CPU, such as smarter artificial intelligence. That’s more design work, more code and much more testing.
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
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
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
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."
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.
Then the same will happen with the PS4,right?
Remembering Xbox S is only XO Slim that makes upscaling for 4k e have bluray UHD. That is in no way changes the development of the game.
This doesn't make sense because diverging hardware hasn't stopped PC gaming from being a thing. People who expect the Neo/Scorpio/High End PC version of a game to play fundamentally different from PS4/Xbox One aren't being reasonable.
Today we have something called scalability. Its why most multiplats play the same on PS4/Xbox One/PC today.
Scorpio wont change this. There are PC rigs today far more powerful than the consoles of tomorrow and you don see devs scrambling to make 30 different versions of their game.
Another nonsense article about Xbox One getting spin-off, I don't know why some think of that? Because they hate Xbox maybe?
And how does N4G accepts these kinds of articles, Oh My God!!
DOOM I TELL YOU ......DOOM! I do so love the drama we see on N4G.
