Leviathyn.com | This morning Stéphane D’Astous, the General Manager of Eidos Montreal, told Gamasutra “Games are more and more sophisticated; it’s less based on one or two mechanics. I think this replaces the necessity of having new IPs.”
Inisder Gaming has learned of a few details regarding a canceled Legacy of Kain Reboot at Eidos Montreal, which happened in 2022.
During MCM Comic Con London X EGX, CGM got the chance to be part of a press group interview with the stars of the Uncharted titles, namely the legendary Nolan North, who played protagonist Nathan Drake, Emily Rose, who portrayed Elena Fisher and Richard McGonagle, who took on the role of Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan,
Yeah, they should be renamed to Embarrassment Group at this point. Bought every studio they could lay their hands on just to fire people from them, close them or cancel their games.
100 % The CEO is a PIG and it showcases how Embarrassment Group has always been a sham of a company
within the game industry !
Seems like the most turnover is being generated by companies making acquisitions and cuts.
It's like they don't know their behinds from their elbows.
UPS just signed all their drivers to a huge contract.
In order to afford the contract, UPS is laying off management.
That's how all of this should work. Lay off management. That's how a business can be more "efficient."
I know, but they laid off 97 employees and canceled my most anticipated release from their studio.
Bro f$&k Embracer. How do companies not even understand basic concepts like “don’t count your chickens before they hatch”? And now all these peoples lives are upended because of it.
Fkn trash. They had no business buying up all those studios with house money. I been waiting so long for the next Deus Ex. All these large scale consolidations are bleeding out the industry one at a time.
They were banking on Saudi money. When the Saudi Government backed down everything fell apart.
I totally agree.
Many press say that innovation is the key but I would like to add to that that execution is even more critical.
How many games have had great ideas but were poorly executed? Sometimes letting a title cook for a little longer will have a much larger positive result.
Are we seriously having this discussion?
We need new ips, now more than ever with the game industry on the verge of complete collapse............
No more valkyria? no more the world ends with you? no more last story? no more uncharted? no more anything new?
How unbearable
