PSU takes a look at why the spin-off movies to Capcom's horror franchise are hated by those who watch them.
The new rules set by Japanese gaming giant, Nintendo, might threaten future content, directly impacting the profitability of many community-driven events.
"The profit of these tournaments is directly impacted by these new rules, as sponsorships are being forbidden, maximum prize money is limited to $5,000, and food/drinks can’t be sold at the tournaments."
Why even bother.
1 thing I've realized over the years is that Nintendo likes bragging about "fun", but it's "fun" how they see fit, and they often go against their consumers for the dumbest reasons. Just gonna do this stuff underground style, who are Nintendo to stop anyone from organizing community based tournaments anyway? How does this actually hurt em?
They've always wanted smash to be seen as a fun, casual game and nothing remotely competitive, which is in stark contrast with how Sakurai develops smash. He puts in so many little things to master for high level competitors. It's just sad, especially for the melee community. They kept the community going for 2 decades now even while all the time nintendo was trying to sabotage them.
This week on the Game Deflators Podcast John and Ryan discuss the PlayStation Portal, Nintendo’s adults only application in Japan, Starfield player base figures and video game genre fatigue.
TimeSplitters studio Free Radical Design faces closure before Christmas, Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors has privately acknowledged.
What does this even mean lol, this very studio was formed out of a acquisition (purchase of the IP)
How does that in any way serve towards your comment
Not to mention the layoffs from Embracer
"How does that in any way serve towards your comment"
Had Xbox acquired that studio from Embracer before gone, you know N4G would gone riot.
????
So you're making up scenarios for a studio that was created for the sole purpose of this IP, for console warring?? Where has Xbox ever said they were interested in buying them, and vice versa?
Where's this assumption that they would want to even save them? If that was the case, we would never have any studio closure.
@obscure
Wow...cant even begin to imagine the lengths you take to be so inaccurate.
This studio has barely released anything in the last decade. You think people would've rioted? The contrary. It wouldve been an investment into elevating the studio to be able to bring back timesplitters. I wouldve been grateful.

Obscure’s mouth flaps, and a whole lot of stupid comes out every freak’n time.
@Nitrowolf2
Don't even try, Obscure_Observer has the special power to make every single news into a "XBox good, PS bad" story, powered by infinite amount of delusion, you can't win.
Dude Obscure_Observer is a complete idiot. He always and I mean ALWAYS make comments and responses that make no absolutely NO sense. Trying to get that moron to learn anything is like trying to teach calculus to a drywall.
Jesus
People lose their jobs before Christmas
Obscure_Observer: "BETTER USE THIS TO CALL OUT THOSE PESKY MS HATERS AND BIG MS UP"
I hope those (selectively) who wonder why you get disagreed to oblivion are now satisfied.
Xbox dont want studios they want publishers and all the studios that come with it and this isn't even about them not everything is a Xbox slander piece
I'm pretty sure Obscure_Observer gets a kick after each comment he reads that bashes him (Some people are like that). He would stop eventually if people simply stopped replying to him altogether lol. But then, maybe everyone who fuels his behavior also gets a kick out of it too
The ultimate satirical troll of N4G strikes again.
But... but... but.... if xbox.
Behave yourself.
@obscured:”I hope those (selectively) against acquisition of studios are now satisfied.”
Translation by google translate from Xbox fanboy to reality
“I hope those (selectively) in favor acquisition of studios are now satisfied.”

Check your facts and tell that to Sony which fired hundreds of people while shutting down studios and canceling games in the last few years.
@shinoff2183
1Victor was talking about "eating more than you can chew" and all Sony has been doing lately is layoff hundreds of people at *Playstation* including Bungie which under Playstation is 8% smaller after just one year despite the fact that Sony paid 1.2 Billion dollar for talent retention.
The layoffs at MS you mentioned only hit a small fraction at 343i at the time. No other Xbox first studio was affected!
SIE is getting people fired left and right, not to mention cancelling games and shutting down first party studios.
Talk about "eat more than you can chew".
I just can't take you seriously.
You're either a troll or you have some serious mental health problems.
well i dont.
i like the games and movies.
games are better, but the movies are really worth a watch.
