Poli games host Joseph, gives his first impressions of Overwatch. Blizzard's first attempt at a first-person shooter. Blizzard is known for their series like World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Heroes of the Storm, and Hearthstone. Will this game be Blizzard's next big IP?
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
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.
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.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
How is everyone enjoying the Overwatch Beta so far? I'm loving it! Right now my favorite character has to be Junkrat, because i'm a terrible person. Who's you're favorite character, if you have one?
Great beta
The game's a lot more addicting than I thought it would be, I'm hooked.
The beta is pretty awesome so far my favorite characters are phara and tracer but I'm willing to try other characters loving it so far.
I hope it's the next big thing, watching the story of overwatch on the gamespot youtube channel, it's refreshing to see that their inspiration for Overwatch was games like Half Life DM, Action Quake, Team Fortress. For me, the fun element seems to have gone from most FPS games nowadays, it's all about stroking that k/d e-peen, for something like Overwatch to come around where it's literally 100% teamwork based, is such a welcomed change, it'll definitely be in my rotation of games that I frequently play that's for sure.
