Remedy Entertainment's Sam Lake discusses the upcoming game Control, its main character Jesse Fayden, and how weird things get.
In a bold move to revamp its operations and reputation, Embracer Group has announced plans to divide into three distinct entities.
Splits into 3, so 3 times as many middle managers, never a good thing isn’t that what ruined them in the first place ?
Well people complain when they consolidate and there's redundancies. This is the opposite so apparently you can't win.
Honestly huge companies being less huge is a good thing. I think ABK should have done the same thing, then they could have had more than one possible buyer to purchase them. It was really Microsoft or no one how they stood.
Breaking News: "In a Blockbuster move, Asmodee to buy Coffee Stain & Friends and Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends. After merger, new entity to be called Embracer Group. A 1,000 job cuts to be expected after merger."

Secondly, I want to ensure we actively look at the sentiment and create a holistic view of WHY feedback is given. And my working theory is that TTK is too high."
They need to give us weapons that are fun to use. Right now you will have over 30 enemy patrols that randomly appear around you in a near never ending horde. Most of the weapons we are getting are either semi automatic guns that can take out 1 light armored mob if you hit the weak point or low damage automatic rifles with high recoil.
To make the game more fun, we need some fun futuristic weapons. I would love to see a gun that can fire elemental rounds except for incendiary and a proper thermite grenade.
Embracer Group plans to release 70 game projects before March 31, 2025, with three "important unannounced titles" included in the release.
They may not have a plan to exit gaming. But give it time they will eventually sell off everything and fade away into nothing.
really worried about this game, the visual effects of course looks great, but the setting and the story seems like it will fall flat. Guess I'll just keep waiting for Alan Wake 2.
This game looks weird so far and looks like a tech demo for some upcoming game
