Dan Neuburger is The Initiative's second major design departure in a year.
Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.
According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."
My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.

It goes to my kids because I gave them the passwords.
To Steam: Missio has a song that conveys my feelings about you stealing my purchase after I die. It's called "Middle Fingers"
I suppose if I have kids, I'd just give em my account details by retirement age. If I die young then...idk lol.
Yea, I mean just give someone the password to your account. Is that difficult to do or something? Like, I’m legit asking because I don’t know.
The reality is this is extremely common in this industry. People jump around all the time, because it’s such a small industry with a limited pool of talent you’re almost always guaranteed a promo or pay rise by jumping around.
The thing that is weird here is that he appears to have departed without having a new role elsewhere, so perhaps his departure wasn’t his own choice.
Managing 40 studios is easier said than done. Especially when Microsoft had such a difficult time managing 5 not so long ago.
It was supposed to be AAAA and now it doesn’t have a director . Overhyping a studio and especially a game before it even in production is a really bad idea . But that’s what MS does . I was at Target today and saw an Xbox display today . It says fastest most powerful console , but it’s definitely not the fastest and theoretical power is nice and all but it’s losing in fps for most games . That doesn’t make it a bad machine but if anyone is informed it will make them think twice before buying it because they aren’t marketing games and they aren’t marketing the truth . PS5 went for speed Xbox went for raw power so it can’t be both but they claim they win in everything which is sad really . It’s the reason why Xbox is so off putting to me , BS makes it stink.
And their fans pump out the same stuff like , game directors leaving before a game is released is common and normal but it isn’t unless the game is having a rough production .
If you can't take the heat, don't climb inside the oven.
Imagine Cory Barlog left during the development of God of war or Neil Druckmann during the development of The last of us or Kojima during the development of Death Stranding.
This is nothing to downplay and not that common.
