Damn that picture is creepy!

It will be interesting to see if Nintendo can manage to strike gold two times in a row. If they just release nothing more than a Wii in HD it is going to be a major letdown.

Sony's E3 looks like it is going to be yet another epic show with hours of massive exclusives thanks to their total graphical dominance and massive 21 first party studios.

Not sure why Microsoft is even showing up this year. The 360 is in last place and has nothing but downgraded PC ports being dumped on it.

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.

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos37m ago(Edited 37m ago)

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.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

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.

Profchaos4h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

I think if used correctly it could work well
