FFXV director talks Nvidia GameWorks, the death of consoles, and playing games on robots.
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 👍🏾”
Sega has released its financial statement for the 2023-24 fiscal year, and profits may be up, but it's mostly not down to video games.
The headline reads like a Final Fantasy on PC is the atrocity of all atrocities.
Furthermore the article doesn't really make any point to support the headline. It's well written but it's just a lift of facts and interviews but remains pointless in the end.
Also, why does one exclude the other. Are bad graphics needed for SE to keep it's way? Are good graphics a sign that a game will be bad? Square's problem is that the teams of the previous few games were badly put together. For XIII they had an interesting story but chose a bad type of gameplay, for XV they had good gameplay but lacked in storytelling. But looking at the past with VII, VIII on PSx then X and XII on PS2, XIII on PS3 and XV on PS4, Final Fantasy was always known for being in the front line when it comes to graphics, even "before SE lost it's way". One could even say that top notch graphics are one of the series' key parts.
PC will have both the best graphics this game can offer and the frames to match
graphics don't matter (ask any switch user) but square enix lost its way a looooong time ago. ff15 looked good but played way too stiff and generic.
I'll take 13 over 15 anyday
GFX is about the only thing this game has going for it.
