Eurogamer: What if Microsoft bought Nintendo in the run up to the original Xbox? The last 20 years of video games would look pretty different, I imagine. Well, it turns out Microsoft actually tried to make it happen.
Embracer Group plans to release 70 game projects before March 31, 2025, with three "important unannounced titles" included in the release.
By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.
Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!
Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one
Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.
They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.
Druckmann claims the tech could 'push the boundaries of storytelling in games.'
I’m more interested in what else he said.
“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’
He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.
I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
If this is true, damn Microsoft have been trying to buy up the market for a very long time now. Nintendo just laughed at them for what seemed like an hour straight, that is funny. They also tried to by EA, Capcom and others, but never made an attempt for Sony, I wonder why. Or is it they just wanted to simply crush Sony.
If that would have happened, we would be reading an article called "Nintendo, In remembrance".
And not because of Microsoft. Because it was Steve Ballmer's Microsoft.
Wasn’t this already known since 2002
Lol!
Well thank god that never actually happened.
