Xbox shuts slew of Bethesda studios
Holy shit.
Depressing news.
I'm most surprised about Tango Gameworks. I guess the figured there was little point in keeping the joint open without Shinji Mikami. Then again, in a recent interview he stated he didn't have that much freedom, so maybe he wasn't instrumental to the studio anyway.
Kind of bummed about Tango Gameworks as I did very much enjoy their games. Shinji Makami had left though so not sure how things would have fared though regardless.
Furakawa just said "Switch Next model is the appropriate way to describe it"
When asked if the next gen console was a brand new console or something else.
That's also a reminder that one of these days I'll have to play ghostwire Tokyo. Assuming I have a console to play it on.
The Switch Pro returns!
I'd love if the official name was Switch Next Model.
Hey, I just learned the PS4 doesn't play PS3 games
Can you buy ps3 digital games that will work on ps4?
Only the ones that have been remastered for PS4/PS5.
Meh
I forgot about their streaming service. It was terrible on PS4; never bothered to try it on PS5.
Yeah. Sony should have been held in detention and made to make the PS3 library work on the PS4. It is so shoddy that the best they could come up with was... uh we have a server farm of PS3's you can stream from.... No fuck you. You made the PS3 the technical abomination it was, now FIX IT.
I love the PS3's library, it really is one of my most favorite generations, which is why I'd like to see better PS3 support.
Man. RIP, Steve Albini.
I better buy another PS3!
EDITORIAL:
So given how much video game content makes up a disproportionate amount of the internet do you think our hobby "suffers" from the ridiculous amount of attention is paid to every single fine detail of what goes on in the industry?
I reflected on this when I was thinking, "Jesus, MS is really fucking it all up again, and they have for a long time" when I caught myself and went, "Hey Phil, why the fuck do you care about what Phil Spenc.... Hang on, why the FUCK do you even know the name of the man who runs the division of MS that handles Xbox? I thought you go into this because you like games?"
It's all a bit:
I picture this happening, as I often correlate, in the model trains industry. Imagine some model train enthusiasts knowing the name of the chief engineer in charge of minuture foliage being nailed on the internet for a choice of deciduous tree that doesn't exist in North America being sold with a AMTRAK trainset. It looks like he just took the same tree from the British Rail set and used it again for the north american release! And they used the same puddles from the Swedish Rail Kit!!! This guy is making too many mistakes lately.
