Embracer Group has begun closing studios, including developer Campfire Cabal, which was formed in September of last year.
That's great news. Hopefully the Coalition can smooth some of those edges from the last Avowed reveal.
Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you. I was ok with it and hoping to actually play it sometime soon. Now it's like 99% chance it's delayed.
Edit: effing graphics whores
Apparently the latest build looks way better graphically. This rumor from Jez Cordin (who's credible) pretty much confirms it.
Interested in seeing more on Avowed in a few weeks.
I liked the games unique artstyle when It was revealed. I hope they're not making the migration based on criticism. It's only a rumor anyways
This was the only game I was jealous of, but It's a wait and see game now. Plus, I can wait until they release it on PSN.
In case you were curious, a Steam account transfer via will is not permitted according to an official response from Valve.
Would be nice if the article's writer looked into and reported whether other digital game libraries could be transferred over via will (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, EGS, EA app, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher etc) instead of this half-baked piece but it's probably the same for all of them anyway
This seems like a way bigger issue than mandatory PSN account linking for PlayStation games.
So where is the outcry?
The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.
Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.
Didn’t take long.
While I don't like people losing jobs, I do like seeing that the Embracer model isn't working. I could do without the market consolidation. Hope the staff get sucked into some companies actually trying to make good games
Good good. Sony will buy up the talent.
And they will go to Sony, because I bet they'd like the prospect of working on a highly rated game instead of average scoring ones
For as big as Embracer Group the company doesn’t seem to generate a lot of revenue. Embracer purchased so many smaller companies, while not releasing particularly high selling games. Seems the company is relying on investments to keep itself a float and together.
Bit off more than they could chew. Probably couldn't secure more Saudi money.
