From GameWatcher: "Following the buzz about the Obsidian Microsoft deal that we've been hearing about over the past few weeks, many of us have been wondering what the truth behind the Microsoft Obsidian buyout is, and how the devs themselves are looking at it.
Well, in a recent video, Obsidian staff have come out to officially confirm that it did, indeed, happen, and to try and answer why did Obsidian join Microsoft. We've got some of the details down below.":
Pocketpair, the developer behind Palworld, has said that the studio plans to remain a small independent game developer.
The Hogwarts Legacy video game is on sale for the lowest price yet. You can get the Standard Edition on Steam for $29.99 down from $59.99 (that's $30 off). And, the Digital Deluxe Edition can be picked up for just $59.99, which is $59.99 off its usual price of $119.98.
50% is about as far as I made it through the game too. It started so strong in and around the castle... $30 feels about right though
It's like they are pushing us away from gaming on consoles. The standard edition of this game is currently on sale on Xbox for $41.99, on PlayStation for $69.99 and on steam for $30.00. The PS store usually have sales on Tuesdays so hopefully, we will see the price being matched when the store gets updated.
Palworld is a runaway success for developer Pocketpair, but creator Takuro Mizobe isn't looking to make triple-A Xbox games anytime soon.
I want to welcome everybody from Obsidian to the family.
Stay tuned because we are still not done.
Everyone wants a fallout style game and they are the people to make it happen.
It was a great acquisition for MS as Obsidian made 2 of the geatest western RPGs ever in New Vegas Fallout and KOTOR2. With MS backing, they can once again make a big Western RPG for next generation.
So, uh, how about InXile lend you the rights to Wasteland, and we can get a 1st person Fallout competitor on our hands??
I would love to see an Alpha Protocol 2
