As a big Bioware fan, Rossco looks at what happens if Bioware's Anthem fails to deliver and what it needs to work. Plus, the question if EA and Bioware are actually best for each other now.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick doesn't think AI will reduce employment or lower development costs, and calls it "stupidest thing" he's ever heard.
They already have AI trained to do coding.......
How he thinks it's stupid is beyond me, Especially since we see it happening in real time.
I think maybe sometimes we give people in these positions too much credit when it comes to intelligence.
As long as it doesn't effect his inflated executive salary or his ridiculous bonuses I'm sure he's fine with it.
Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.
According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."
My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
Best quote from the article - "With EA having their own take on what gamers want going forward. I do wonder if what makes Bioware historically so good, is exactly what EA don’t want anymore... When Bioware hear EA walk around saying things like “gamers don’t like single-player, story-driven games anymore” and other such quotes (as the imperial march music plays in the background), they must be shuddering."
It's so true. Bioware and EA are just not good bedfellows anymore. I'm not hopeful for the future of Bioware if they stay with EA.
For the love of God EA, why haven't you let Bioware develop a proper story driven singleplayer Star Wars game? Have you forgotten that they made the best sci-fi game franchise in history - Mass Effect? It should have been the perfect storm. But oh no... rinse repeat loot/grind mtx shooter ftw /s
It would be great if Bioware could separate from EA but I don't know if that's going to happen. Would like to see what they could do if they weren't tied to EA.
Bioware is just a shell with a face that EA wears.
You would think the studio that delivered Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect would be the go to for a new story driven Star Wars game. It boggles my mind with how out of touch EA is!
They are a cancer but it's not just them. I can think if s few who would probably fumble just as bad!
Split up? you do know what EA does to their studios right?
