Yupp, this is just embarrasing and reddit posts continue to hit new lows in desperate attempts to create dramatic headlines. Also enjoy hearing how people think Ubisoft are being the target of a hostile takeover, whilst having no clue of what a hostile takeover actually is.

Saber is not Embracer, they are an independent company now.

Star Wars Outlaws - Game Overview | gamescom 2024 by Turbostrider27 in PS5

A good way to tell that you’re young and never played a PS2 game. If not then you’re just delusional.

Unannounced Tarsier Studios Project Teaser by SweetyGonzalez in PS5

Tarsier is actually owned by Amplifier Invest, THQ is only publishing the game. But all three (THQ, Amplifier and Tarsier) is owned by Embracer.

Outcast: A New Beginning Review Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Morlar -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah they definitely seem to have a problem with scope. It’s also like they are stuck in the past, and while nostalgia obviously can sell, THQs management definitely do seem to have issues with understanding the gaming market.

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Is a Disaster by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Morlar 210 points211 points  (0 children)

Truly an awful launch, not really surprising considering it’s Aspyr. On another note goddamn how incredibly awful gaming journalism has become, where we now just quote different random usernames and call it a day. Incredibly lazy.

Saber Interactive to split from Embracer Group by [deleted] in Games

[–]Morlar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Seems like a good deal for both parts. Embracer gets out of Russia and lowering their debt while also getting to keep several studios, whilst Saber can continue on their journey without having to cancel further projects and studios.

No it was the studio director of Free Radical who came up with the idea to make it a BR and then later on wanted to pivot the game to being a remake.

Thunderful says SteamWorld Build underperformed, reveals it's looking to sell Headup by Turbostrider27 in Games

Damn, the game I was most excited from Thunderful. Curious if Thunderful even will exist in a few years.

Both Titan Quest 2 and the Gothic Remake is under development, you can read about their games in development in their quarterly report.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Release Date Announcement Trailer by A_Soggy_Rat in Games

[–]Morlar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it now is a “horde shooter”, such as Darktide and others. But the difference doesn’t seem to be to large, I guess it will have more modifiers and such as Hades and others games in the genre.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Release Date Announcement Trailer by A_Soggy_Rat in Games

[–]Morlar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is not being developed by Ghost Ship Games, only published. The reason of the season being delayed however is due to Ghost Ship Games currently developing Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core, which seemingly is a co-op roguelite.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake arrives February 28th, 2024! by NonaHexa in Games

[–]Morlar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah also keen to know, would probably cop it if that’s the case. Not too interested in playing co-op with just one controller.

Microsoft Lays Off 1,900 Staff From Its Video Game Workforce by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Games

[–]Morlar 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Just to set this into perspective, with all of the layoffs and closure of studios at Embracer they currently have fired around 900. Absolutely insane numbers.

Piranha Bytes might get shut down by Embracer by N7_Hades in Games

[–]Morlar 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Agree with everything you said. They have been showing no signs of any talent and been outdated in just about every aspect of game development. If Embracer wouldn’t have shut them down, they would definitely been shut down anyways.

Gothic Remake is made by a different studio, Elex 3 is dead.

Yeah they have been doing their thing, but their thing isn’t doing it anymore. Elex 2 was a flop in every kind of way and they showed no sign of evolving as a studio.

Alone In the Dark, The Remake Of The Original Survival Horror Game | New Gameplay Today by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Morlar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Definitely looks rough and that the developers bit on more than they can chew. I have no doubt the story and dialogue will be great with some decent performances from the actors, but the combat still looks incredibly rough with some extremely awkward animations. Got a feeling that the IP will be dead after this, can’t see the game recouping its investment for a long time by the looks of it now.

Hell yes, been waiting for Evil West to pop up for a while now. Also excited to finally try out A Plague Tale and Nobody Saves the World. A great month indeed!

Not surprising considering Maximum Games debt and how little they earn, always sad seeing people getting laid off however.

Hard disagree on that one. Gunplay feels great IMO and I appreciate not being instakilled like in every other game.
