@ZuneTattooGuy Arkane is two studios under one banner. The Blade game is being handled by Arkane Lyon, which is the one that made the Dishonored games and Deathloop, whereas Redfall was made by Arkane Austin, which also made Prey.
I'm pretty sure that the guys that made Dishonored are well-positioned to make a street-level superhero game with supernatural elements.
Hm, the Devs for this one are owned by Embracer, who are absolutely up ***** creek when it comes to finances.
Wonder if it's just the Remnant games, or whether there's going to be a big push of older THQ/Nordic/Koch/Deep Silver/Embracer titles over the next few months as Embracer tries to recoup some of their overspend.
Massive corporations getting gobbled up by even bigger corporations is a good thing, says person with personal financial interest in having his massive corporation be gobbled up by an even bigger corporation.
@StonyKL Brazil wouldn't make for a good test market as thanks to a history of tariffs and import taxes aimed at foreign electronics, it has a completely unique gaming ecosystem.
Some more games in the Battletech universe would be nice, yeah. Microsoft still has the gaming rights to a whole bunch of the old FASA RPG universes, right?
It's a Bethesda game, in space. It's got some nice QOL iterations over previous Bethesda games, but it's still very much what you'd expect. Which is good, because that's pretty much exactly what I was looking forward to.
@Lightning720 The industry is still obsessed with Christmas. You have to get everything out in the last four months of the year so that they'll still be nice and crisp and new for when Christmas comes around and people need presents to hand out and games for their shiny new consoles.

Re: Talking Point: As December Draws Near, How Are Excited Are You For The GTA 6 Trailer?
I wouldn't say I'm excited. More, morbidly interested.

Bring back 'The Movies' you cowards.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Like A Detachable Disc Drive For Xbox Series S?
Discs are basically just physical licence keys these days, so maybe? I have a few disc based games that would be very comfy to play in bed.
Re: Activision Says Xbox Can 'Take Games In The Library And Remake Them' Post-Acquisition
Activision own the Infocom back catalogue. Let's farm out some preservation work on those to Digital Eclipse!
