An existing community manager for Helldivers 2 has acknowledged the 'unfortunate' departure of Spitz following the whole PSN fiasco.
From what I see on Reddit, a lot of fans also hate him... it is just a guy that like the stir shits up, it is not good for both the Arrowheads and the fans.
I think he just got fed up by people's complaining and accidentally spilled the beans
Ya, but unfortunately that's the nature of the job, you can't get emotional, he represents the company.
Wccftech discussed the recent Xbox news with MIDiA Research analyst Rhys Elliott, who pointed out that a strong upcoming Games Showcase could help a lot with fans.
I was hoping for something different from Coalition, not Gears 6 so soon.
Their expertise in UE development could've propelled them to try out other IPs using the new UE5.
But guess, given recent MS' state, Gears 6 was the 'safer' call for the studio. But still hope they venture other IPs or even other genres ... at least FPSs in future?
Microsoft seems only interested in maximizing profits through its biggest IPs at this point.
So soon? Its been 5 years since Gears 5, longest gap between games in the franchise.
Why would people be less angry? If MS made it's own games instead of buying up what was already available then we wouldn't be in the situation that everyone is angry at.
MS is the problem.
Everybody pays for or uses MS in some form personally or professionally. If that’s considered supporting, it hasn’t been helping Xbox.
Fuck MS and Phil. I already told that shit bag off on Twitter, if the dumb ass responds I highly doubt it, I will go off much worse. What a fucking disgrace MS and Phil are to the gaming community.
Akimbot is an upcoming sci-fi action-platformer that shows its inspiration from games of the past.
Same. I am a big fan of the series and feel it is criminally underappreciated by the community at large.
Do anyone else think that Devil May Cry 4 would have sold better on the ps3 if it wasn't for they fact that the ps3 version was more expensive?
Edit: I know that the xbox 360 have a larger install base in the UK. But the UK doesn't not represent the entire PAL region.
Oh! Yes! I am recalling! Nintendo has so high requirements to translate texts and speeches in the game! That it may be done only during six month after sales start in Japan. And European gamers must buy Nintendo games on double price, of course. Unbelievable.
Good luck DMC4, although.
I import almost all of my games from www.videogamesplus.ca 60 dollar is a bargain when i have to pay a hundred here at retailers "giving the finger to all swedish stores"
Hope Burnout Paradise sales increase. At least DMC4 is doing great.
The title is a bit incorrect, its just the UK & Ireland Charts, Not the PAL region all together.
Given the Ps3s dominance in areas such as France, spain and italy, i suspect the Ps3 version of DMC4 will come out on top overal
