TOKYO, Jan. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba is quite surprised by Warner Bros.' decision to abandon HD DVD in favor of Blu-ray, despite the fact that there are various contracts in place between our companies concerning the support of HD DVD. As central members of the DVD Forum, we have long maintained a close partnership with Warner Bros. We worked closely together to help standardize the first-generation DVD format as well as to define and shape HD DVD as its next-generation successor.
While many gaming layoffs are cruel, Tango Gameworks being culled after Hi-Fi Rush doesn't even make sense.
Good read. I think the point is important. Cuz the message it sends is, make a bad game? Well shut you down. Make a good game? We still might shut you down. How the fuck are you supposed to feel any sense of job security under those conditions. The level of core incompetence at play in the upper levels of this industry is staggering. This is common sense shit. You can’t chase trends on a 2 year cycle when games take fucking 6-8 years to make. Just let artists fucking art for gods sake. They don’t understand the basic principle that they’re all haggling for the same slice of fucking pie and the market will not bear it. Find a different fucking pie.

This looks like a great way to play.

Did Toshiba just imply that the only reason they have support is down to contracts alone? when they said this
'despite the fact that there are various contracts in place between our companies concerning the support of HD DVD'
Their contract is going to end and WB has no reason to turn back on what they just did. Sure WB is still with Toshiba but once May hits, they have no control over them.
I wonder what Toshiba will do. Give out more money? or let microsoft handle this one? I said earlier, WB goes blu, that just means money will be thrown again to another studio. Let's see how this will turn out.
The only partner that i know that toshiba has is microsoft, what other partner are they talking about?
I think we can expect to see Toshiba continue some aggressive HD-DVD incentive deals and put pressure on Paramount to step up the number of titles released so far. I wasnt aware of the 2007 numbers but I am pretty darn sure those are just "pure" player numbers and dont include the PS3.
Either way..Toshiba is going to be scrambling.
It's over lol
