Paradox has been teasing a Vampire: The Masquerade announcement via dating app alternate reality game, Tender, and now some interesting pictures popped up.
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.
OMG!!, Now this is seriously interesting news! :O
Unless they get the creative talent behind Bloodlines (essentially Obsidian) I don't see the big deal here. With Paradox hinting it, and MS owning Obsidian, that isn't happening.
I would kill for an up-to-date remake of Bloodlines, however. Hell, NightDive could do it, even. Just use the updated source engine, add in the cut content that's mostly been restored with community patches, and clean up the lingering glitches. Add a bit of content and, bam, you got $40 from me.
,man this shit is real now, i can't wait!!!!
I can see it now, 30 dlc packs
I want to be excited, but I'm not familiar with the new devs.
