We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Some shit went down when he went to oculus, bethesda sued him or oculus because they said he made stuff for them on bethesdas time/dime.
Microsoft has so many studios now I almost think it makes sense to buy some smaller support studios like a Saber or Raven (not those studios specifically, but something like those) to act as a support studios for all their main studios.
Its considered one of the best RPGs in the 2010s
I'm not sure what else can be said why people love New Vegas
Hmm so I dont know if this is common knowledge or not, but everyone I know who has worked for a Zenimax studio at one point has told me that "normally" you are blacklisted if you leave any of their studios at any point for any reason even if they let you go.
Depends on who you are, but none of us can know for sure at this point in time.
This really sucks as a consumer. I love DOOM and but have no interest in buying an Xbox whenever the next entry come out. Mega Corporations buying out major game developers only hurts the consumer.
I've been so sick the last few days, and then I see this? Crazy news. This is unexpected, I thought someone was trolling because this mostly a fantasy players from all sides come up with. Wake up early tomorrow for those preorders. Insane.
Imagine the Fallout series being bi yearly games now; one with a Todd Howard shitterpiece and then the more refined Obsidian take 2 years later.
So a new Fallout game every 4 years basically.
Assuming Sony will react to today's news by doing an acquisition of a big publisher, but at the same time wants to spend less considering they obviously have less capital than MS.
I don't see any option other than one of the following:
Capcom
Square-Enix
Sega

If you have a XBOX/PC you will get bethesda games way cheaper and there is not much changes.
Otherwise, you won't be able to play Bethesda games anymore :P
Btw can you imagine how big of a boost gamepass will get with starfield or even elder scrolls coming to it day 1.
But still, i wish ms invested more money into their games, instead of endless acquisitions

Depends on which console you were going to buy and what IP's you love.
For me this is the fucking worst. YMMV.
Are people still clinging to the false hope that Microsoft will let Bethesda release games on playstation? Again, what would be the point in buying the whole company out if all they want is guaranteed releases on gamepass. I'm pretty sure MS could cut deal with Bethesda to make that happen without buying the whole company out.
Friendly reminder that you don't need to buy an Xbox. With xCloud you can get all those games in your phone/tablet.
to many people "Xbox has no exclusives! I'm not buying an Xbox!" still holds true.
Let's not get silly here. Apple, Facebook, Google, Amazon, Disney, Tencent, Alibaba...there are a ton of companies that could have made this deal if they saw the benefit in it. It's big money for the games industry but it's not like its an unheard of figure. Facebook paid more than double this for WhatsApp. Microsoft paid like four times this for LinkedIn.
They were also petty enough to not allow Carmack's liner notes in the Quake soundtrack vinyl release.
Last I checked Sony didn't buy the entirety of SE and their entire catalogue.
If Insomniac was say Ubisoft, this comparison wouldn't be ridiculous. But it's not.
And if it was Ubisoft, that shit'd suck ass as well.
That's a false equivalency if there ever was one, heh.
Sony and Insomniac were publishing partners for decades... Ratchet, Spider-Man, Resistance... Sony owned a bunch of the IP Insomniac developed. Microsoft didn't own Fallout or Doom.
Sony/Insomniac acquisition was only $229 million... 1/32 the size of the Bethesda purchase.
There's a bit of a difference there.
Like on one hand it really would have been better for the industry had MS to have used that 7.5 billion to create some new studios and maybe have them work on the tons of ips they already own and aren't doing anything with
but I guess I can see MS being frustrated with how their investments on their studios has gone so far and some of the issues they've had. I can see why they maybe felt the need to go yolo and acquire a massive studio that puts out games they know will be good and massive sellers that can compete with the hype and acclaim Sony's first party output is achieving

This is how it's always been.
If it benefits me = yes
If it doesnt = no
But theres more to it than simply this with this sale.
Huge for GamePass! Might have to subscribe sooner than expected again.
Playing Bethesda games day one as a Gamepass subscriber... HOW does this Gamepass thing keep getting more and more and more
Ban this gif. Traumamfw Skyrim hits the Switch 2 but not the PS5
I would love a re-release of Fallout: NV just to have it play nice with modern computers and maybe a slight touchup. Maybe not as exciting as a followup, but I would still be on that day 1.
I can't. My mind hurts from reading such insanities...Good for you, I guess...I am off to do something productive with my time.
Wow, I didn't know about this.
