During last year’s Tokyo Game Show, Hideo Kojima commented on Metal Gear Survive. Respected Japanese news outlet Nikkei now has some of the alleged drama that surrounds that.
A gray cloud loomed over this year's big summer game showcases: Over 16,000 game developers have lost their jobs since 2023, many of whom were casualties of success at companies that reported huge profits this year. One of the largest cost cutters has been Xbox, which in January cut 1,900 jobs at Activision Blizzard and in May shut down four studios: Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, Alpha Dog Games, and Roundhouse Games. The closure of Tango was taken especially hard, as the studio was still basking in the light of Hi-Fi Rush, a critical and commercial success by all of Microsoft's metrics.
I mean, you should be. Because we now know and understand that even if Avowed is a hit it doesn't mean the studio is safe.
I hope that they're able to buy out their own Studio, like Toys for Bob's did, maybe some of their IPs as well, and go the Larian Studios route instead. We still need a sequel to Alpha Protocol after all. So here's hoping for the best.
Listen to your leaders, rather, good luck!
Of course they're gonna feign confidence. They're about to release a game so they wanna look strong as possible. I know for a fact they're deathly afraid, I would be to and they absolutely should be.
I'm afraid for them right now. MS can't be trusted.
Keep supporting MS people and Xbox, they clearly do not care as you can see with all these closures. You want to hurt Xbox and MS just boycott their next console.
I'm not worried at all. Obsidian are are awesome devs and I'm looking foward to Avowed.
Creative director Nicolas Doucet discusses the droid every PlayStation fan is looking for.
Oh man... this looks so fun. I really hope Sony makes a special edition controller to coincide with this.
Astro Bot looks great. Returnal has awesome gameplay and this looks like it will be right up there with it in that regard.
TechRaptor: "This week we got to talk with Cyrus Nemanti about his upcoming Vampire Therapist game where you'll identify cognitive disorders, learn a lot about yourself, and meet vampires from history."
FUUUUUUUU KONAMI!
So hard, just f'em
“You are unfairly sullying the reputation of our company.”
No you did that to yourself Konami. Kojima made the effin Metal Gear franchise, I'm sure he has a right to say if zombies don't belong in it. It's not like fans are blind and needed Kojima to tell them that.
I love it. Let the hate fester.
