Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
“LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is one of my favourite family-friendly games of all time and it's awesome that it's on Game Pass.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Live from YouTube Theater in Los Angeles, see what's next in video games at #SUMMERGAMEFEST.
I dismiss all trailers without actual gameplay. Any trailer can be made now with AI.
This was better than Sony state of play. With Phantom Blade Zero closing the show
This was arse. Indie copy/paste, more MP games, Batman with yet another CG trailer lol, a lot of CG trailers, game trailers that try to sell their games as a big blockbuster media are cringe. This was 2 hours yo, where's the excitement? No really, I used to get so excited around E3 and now I tune into these events expecting disappointment and that's what they give. Doritos Pope has casualfy these gaming events. In an effort to make the industry look more mature they've killed its nerdy essence.
PlayStation legend Mark Cerny discusses PS5, the challenges of making consoles, and his 42-year games industry career
Well... they used to design their own chips. Emotion Engine, Cell, RSX... when they switched to using X86 based chips is now more akin to low-mid cost PCs than before. It may not look like a PC but it pretty much is one. I'd bet it could do productivity stuff just fine if they allowed it to.
Yah, hence the majority of the PS5’s hardware investment going towards an SSD instead of a GPU.
There are countless custom pc gaming rigs out there, and I bet none of them took an SSD-centric approach to their design, like the ps5 did.
I can see where he’s coming from re ps5 not just being a box with parts like a pc. They must also spend an awful lot on r & d just to design the thing so it has aesthetic appeal and typical Japanese with some sort of Philosopy behind the design. Would also think other factors around the custom airflow and the like would cost a lot given that it’s not a standard box shape
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
Acquisitions always come with cuts
Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”
