From VG247: "Resogun and Nex Machina developer Housemarque has admitted Stormdivers – its multiplayer battle royale game currently in beta testing – isn’t likely to be a hit.
Speaking to VG247 at Reboot Develop this weekend, CEO Ilari Kuittinen said competition from games like Apex Legends, as well as being slower to market than rival titles and a lack of funding means Stormdivers isn’t in a strong position to succeed."
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
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
Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo
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."
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
Housemarque why did you leave Sony? Your fanbase is on PlayStation, we will wait for your return.
Sometimes you just have to take the risk, hope it pays off for them.
Everyone already said that when they released the first trailer... I give them credit for the risk, but risky is better if you try something different...
Apex Legends has this genre on lock.
here’s an advice for the developers:
START WORKING ON DEAD NATION 2!!!!!
