Embracer failing to secure more Saudi money really hurt them. Kinda ironic that earlier in the year, they were boasting about goals of acquiring even more studios and not stopping from there.
Embracer were wise to move the family friendly, "Teen" rated Alone in the Dark reboot out of AW2's beastly path.
Correction. Both Blue Dragon & Lost Odyssey (as well as Infinite Undiscovery) started off as in-house developed projects that went third party after MS killed off their Japanese development studios.
Yet, the previous entries still carried "M" ratings.
Hold on. This game is rated "T" for Teen?!
He's saying this because Netflix acquired the film rights to the franchise awhile back. Factoring in his current relationship with them along with a Dave Bautista casting, seems like a no-brainer.
LC sold exceptionally well. Game is still GM's highest selling release to date. Have to take into consideration that it was released around the time that your Anita Sarkeesian's and such were gaining popularity in the public eye. Hence, no sequel.
Lol. So we're port begging for mobile games now?
You either die a THQ or live long enough to become Rockstar.
Bit off more than they could chew. Probably couldn't secure more Saudi money.
A four year old overpriced port of a mobile game? How far gaming has fallen..
The initial claims of lost source code didn't make much sense anyhow. The Cybertron titles were re-released for PS4 and XB1 digitally back in 2016. So Activision/High Moon lost the source codes after just seven years?
Why are you surprised? Most companies couldn't care less about power or specs (higher dev cost), that's just an excuse for them to raise current game prices. Especially with Switch titles like TotK and MK 1 retailing for $69.99.
All they care about is your money.
Truth be told. Fighting games for the past decade have essentially been treated as Early access.
Spencer was only required for righting the ship for the XB1 launch in terms of Always online and Backward compatibility. Since then, his watch has been a complete flounder whose long overstayed his welcome.
Matt Booty is a stooge who gets told by Phil that "These are not the droids you're looking for."
Then play MK Onslaught when it launches instead. It uses the MK11 character iterations and is based on the previous timelines.
Don't expect any flash sales for Alan Wake 2 (outside of Epic Store). Epic Games is notorious for reserving sales specials exclusive to the Epic Store as a means to drive up traffic to the site.
This was Epic's call. With the game being published by Epic Games, don't expect to see it hit sales on any other digital storefronts other than Epic's own store.
That's why we wait a year for the Komplete Edition.
This is like the third studio that Schofield's left prematurely that he's founded.
