4Player asks if the great aspects of Duke 3D are being forgotten and replaced with the more womanizing tendencies of the series. And if these tendencies will be accepted in an older, more female, gaming population.
Gearbox Entertainment has confirmed layoffs at the company, following the announcement of its sale by Embracer.
I’m glad Embracer is selling them. I hope someone other than MS buys them and frees them up to make great games.
Less than a day after the news that Take-Two Interactive would acquire Borderlands developer Gearbox Entertainment from the embattled Embracer Group, layoffs have already begun. In the hours since former Gearbox employees were made redundant, they've taken to Twitter, and while the total number of staff impacted remains hard to determine, it sounds significant.
I am glad to see Gearbox under Take Two. But lay offs I am not surprised they aren't the only company cutting staff and they won't be the last. And I have a feeling the Borderlands movie honestly will tank when it comes out. The cast is just wow a complete mess Lilith is too old Roland is to small and scrawny. They are missing Brick and Mordecai and I don't think Tiny Tina will be as bat shit nuts as she is in the games.
Pfft, literally said yesterday how it must be nerve wracking for the devs and then this shite. People aren't looking to get fired, and these companies don't care in the slightest.
Inflation post 1/20/2020 is really causing pain to everyone. The cherry on top was companies waiting post 11/8/2022 to start doing layoffs. Hmm, I wonder why they waited past that date... Staring with Google in January 2023 and everyone following suit there after.
Companies that over-hire should be fined heavily and the CEO loses his/her bonus during layoffs, and that money can go to the workers that they laid off.
I hope Pitchford got let go for the sake of employee safty. The man is a walking grease fire waiting to happen.
The game developer is best known for Borderlands, which has generated more than $1 billion in revenue
Hey n4g, can we maybe not allow articles where you can only read 3% of it before hitting the pay wall?
They just bought them not long ago. This is absurd. Embracer owns so many gaming studios and IP’s. They just don’t know to manage them right TBH
Give us saints row 1-2 proper HD remaster (3-5 million in sales confirmed as long as no major bugs)
Focus on AA games that cost less than 40 million go develop while funding 2-3 major AAA titles. Those smaller titles should aim for 8/10 type games with focus on fun and be released within 2 years while bigger games are given 3-5 years
If they would have bought Bethesda their stock would have crashed and sunk the company a couple days ago.
Of course he can, it's Duke Nukem ffs.
ohhh god more stupid duke nukem post!!!!!!
The question is: can the world survive with a modern Duke?
awnser: probably not that´s why he makes his own world instead.
Duke Nukem is just a terminator tipoff that may have been cool in the 90's when overly manly men with buzzcuts were all the rage but we need more today than just micheal bay theatrics. Duke Nukem should throw in the towl before it embarasses itself
The Duke is like a 1980s action star, hes an asshole, a sexiest, stupid and thinks the answer to every problem is to shoot at it with progressively bigger guns.....
...I cant wait, this game is going to be f**king awsome.
