Metroid Prime 4? A Pokemon Switch RPG? Nintendo spoiled us at E3 2017.
Former Deviation Games developers have formed a new studio at Sony Interactive Entertainment in order to work on a brand new PlayStation IP.
Well that's an awesome and very surprising turnaround. Cheers to the new studio and what they'll build!
That's..... confusing, so shut down but just reformed and same employer 🤔 sounds like pretty much what happened to Japan Studio basically just being rebranded as Asobi
Good for them that they were able to work it out. Hopefully they're developing something interesting.
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
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.”
1 hour later.
“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
Metroid Prime 4 developed without Retro, but by the guy behind garbage games like Federation Force, Sticker Star, and Chibi-Robo Ziplash. And they didn't even have a title for Pokemon, much less a screenshot for either game. The only exciting things they announced don't have any (good) information behind them. I expect to see them at at least two more E3s before they finally release.
Sony Fan - "Sony had the best E3 presentation"
Microsoft Fan - "No, Xbox had the best showing".
Nintendo Fan - " Nintendo wins just because".
If you have the mental capacity of a cup of mud, I'm sure you were impressed by Nintendo's presentation.
Nintendo had the most to lose in this presentation, glad that they showed game coming this year, plus new games like Metroid Prime4 and some 3rd parties games.
For the moment, the Switch seems to be heading for a great future.
They showed a logo and verbally announced the Pokemon game. Neither has a release date. Neither has so much as a screenshot. I dunno what your definition of exciting is, but it doesn't match mine.
