BLG writes that after a year of trying to play Elden Ring based on the advice of others, we finally decide to forge our own path. From there, it all makes sense; Elden Ring is great because of its ability to let you play however you want to play it.
Behaviour Interactive is facing redundancies, with almost 100 people affected, mostly affected in Montreal.

Stuff like this looks like alot of work was done but so few sales this is what no doubt is causing all the layoffs.
January this year they laid off 45 people

Just back to back waves of layoffs.
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.
I think that's the key for this game being the masterpiece that it is; choose how you want to play.
Twas thinking of the Soulsborne series just the other night. They're very intimidating, and confusing but confusing in the sense that you go into them with the expectation of it being just like every other game. Once it clicks however you'll get an experience unlike any game in the AAA market.
I'm doing a seamless co-op randomized enemies/items run right now with my brother
Wow, this is genuinely the first article that has nail how I felt about it. In Sekiro the guardian ape was challenging but I agree, The Owl was my first real barrier...then Isshin, for four long hours.
After Sekiro I finally went back and took down Demon's Souls. It's taken me a year to get back around to Elden Ring and just last night I had my own epiphany moment when a random player helped me take down an erdtree avatar, after wandering off the beaten path and thinking "I wonder what's over there in the mist." At this point I still feel BB is the magnum opus for From, but that's purely because everything about that game nailed it for me. Elden Ring is already a very close third, just behind Sekiro at this point.
Great article!
I knew nothing about this game. Literally nothing. I played Demon Souls, Dark Souls 1, and BloodBorne. Never played any on release, just after the hype.
This one’s hype built so fast before release, when I got it I had no idea what I was getting into. Now I don’t even watch reviews, videos, or anything on games I know I want. RE4, Hogwarts, Final Fantasy, and others going in blind.
