Jacob S. from Link Cable Gaming Writes: "The year 2021 is shaping up to be one of gaming’s biggest and hopeful years in quite some time and for good measure. With the new generation of consoles recently introduced, many blockbuster titles that are expected to release, as well as, games that are speculated to be revealed throughout the year, video game enthusiasts around the globe are anticipating this to be one of the most fruitful years in the medium’s history. No matter what you play on, 2021 will surely be a year to remember by many and in the case of Nintendo, this might very well be their biggest year to date and there is quite a bit that we would love to see from the gaming giant from now to next December."
Embracer CEO demonstrates a masterclass in mental gymnastics in latest interview.
"I'm sure I deserve a lot of criticism, but I don't think my team or companies deserve all the criticism. I could take a lot of that blame myself. But ultimately I need to believe in the mission," he said.
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
They can form a company if they want, they are just as jobless as if "Microsoft had left them as 3rd party".
"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....
(Citation from a week old article)
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.
Unless it's xenoblade x I don't want anymore wii u ports/remaster
Power
Folders!
And for their focus to be more on "big" experiences like BotW or Mario Odyssey. Released right at the start, these are their largest, most ambitious & interesting games on the system. To me, all other Nintendo games have felt small and, in some instances, outdated in comparison.
And finally show off those games you teased with title cards over 3 years ago. It's getting a little ridiculous.
