It’s all Valve’s fault. I blame Valve for all of it.
It was five-thirty. I was just about to leave the office when a friend’s Facebook status reminded me that the Steam sale was on, but was due to end that day. That update was to be the casually-thrown cigarette butt that hit the touchpaper that sent the whole firework factory up.
The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.
well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3
Not even this Prey
Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy
The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.
Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.
Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.
Star Wars is coming to Helldivers 2, unofficially that is, as a new mod revamps in-game models and sends players to a galaxy far, far, away.
Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.
Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.
There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life
No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.
I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’
Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.
No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.
I will never understand PC Gamers
Consoles afterall, are designed and created just for games, and because of which can often produce amazing gems (i.e. Uncharted 2) which where made with that specific console in mind, you can't get that with PC gaming.
Because a PC is just adapted to be a gaming platform.
And I'm well aware of some of the advantages PC gaming has, believe me I am, but I'm also well aware of all the disadvantages.
Face it, PC gaming is now a second class citizen. You guys have to contend with DRM and waiting a stupid amount of time for games Xbox 360 & PS3 already have, and often crappy ports, i.e. GTA IV
So, while you happily boast about being able to mess about with mods, and increasing the resolution on your game while gaming on a 22 inch LCD Monitor
(where as console gamers are more akin to be playing on a 42 inch etc.)
We console gamers will be too busy playing and enjoying the next major blockbuster, because you guys have 6 months to wait until you get it ;)

Note, I'm also not just a die hard console fan, I do have a few PC games, and I have a pretty good rig, also study IT, so I know my way in and out of a computer, but I have just never seen it as a proper format for gaming on.
