Freed from Activision's control, Bungie is changing things up with Destiny 2. Back in March, I made the case that the big publishers were squandering money and wasting opportunities because their leadership teams doesn’t understand the business they’re trying to run. Specifically, EA, Activision, and Ubisoft seem to be led by people who don’t understand games or gamers. I’ve been trying to make this case for years, but it’s an argument that’s easy to articulate but hard to prove. Until now.
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.
Insider Gaming sat down with MADFINGER games to talk about Gray Zone Warfare's about the state of the game, its early success, and its future.
It could also prove the opposite.
I thought this was proved a long time ago ?
go make Halo on PS4 and take my Money
It appears that the people who prevented the D1 style of nerfing exotics in D2 were from High Moon Studios or Vicarious Visions because the first thing Bungie did while on their own was to once again nerf any good exotic in an effort to make you use something else.
