Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN25d ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos25d ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

GamerRN24d ago

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)

I think Microsoft and other game publishers are letting people go because they think ai will replace them. Doesn’t matter how much profit they make. They were always going to be let go.

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

blacktiger25d ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Mr Logic24d ago

What a stupid thing to say. The elites give 0 fucks what we say on an obscure website in the comments section.

Crows9024d ago

You can always reach out and give them jobs at your company man. Don't wait

blacktiger23d ago

You own nothing snd be happy. I'm sure you heard that

Profchaos25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

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

Tacoboto25d ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos25d ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long25d ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel25d ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator25d ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.

Crossplay Will Be In College Football 25 But Not In Online Dynasty Mode

EA Sports dropped their first gameplay trailer for College Football 25 today and the game looks truly amazing. Buried in the details of the game hype, however, is a significant letdown for those who play online dynasty (a significant portion of the userbase).

Resident Evil 1 Remake To Have Slower Pace; Will Further Expand On The Game's Lore

Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.

XiNatsuDragnel21h ago

Sounds interesting I'll be interested in the second remake of re1

Cacabunga21h ago

They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first

-Foxtrot20h ago

If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story

RE1, CV and then RE5

Terry_B19h ago

Their REmake is still one of the best 3 video game remakes ever made.

Cacabunga18h ago

Terry

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game

maelstromb14h ago

The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.

Yui_Suzumiya57m ago

Code Veronica definitely needs it the most!

Cant wait until they cut the basement section and replace it with something worse.

Becuzisaid21h ago

While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.

Scissorman21h ago

As long as the Crimson Heads are back.

Nerdmaster8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.
