id Software shutting down
>>741190718You should have bought Daikatana.
>>741190718hopefully they at least merge it with Bethesda
What a retard. They either filled the positions or are under a hiring freeze.
>poach talented studios>infect them>release them into the wild>the studio will never recover or make another hit again, ensuring microsoft stays on top>gaming landscape changes as well, globohomo spreads
Mass chud extermination
New HQ in Mumbai soon.
>>741190718MOOOOOOOOOOOORE
>>741190718Didn’t they just announce a dlc for dark ages? Or a sequel, it wasn’t clear.
>>741190718StandandSHART
>>741190923Ninja Theory literally announced a new game a week ago at Microsoft's big even and they're getting axed today kek. MS has no idea what they're doing.
>>741190718Get this Chigger off my screen
>>741190769And be Romero's bitch?Unlikely.
>>741190718>complete slaughterHoly shit, at this rate they won't have anything left.
>>741190718>GummyJust another grift for him
>>741190967No. This happens sometimes. The new game announcment was their hail mary and if they had gotten massive public support for it, they might not be shut down. Don't let people disparage the power of shitposting.
ALL ABOARD!
>>741190718All the dominos are falling. What a summer
ONENOTHING WRONG WITH ME
>>741190718Stopping new hires is standard when a division is undergoing a shakeup. I worked at a big tech firm half a decade ago and our chief executive retired, leading to around 6 months where we didn't bring in any new talent and cancelled all pending applications until the executives got their act together. I bet you're going to see them ax all new open positions for all studios under MS shortly. I'd be very surprised if they're actually killing Id, but I suppose the new Doom game kinda just came and went without any big hype or momentum.
>>741190967>Ninja Theory literally announced a new game a week ago at Microsoft's big evenwhat was it
>>741190718>Troons immediately gather when Grummz is mentionedEvery time
>>741190718Girlboss Doom failed? Shocking.
>>741191275Another Senua game.
>>741190718wtf Xbox is committing genocide.
Ninja Theory and this? Will there be a video game crash soon?
>>741190923It was a dlc

>>741191405The new jeeta at Xbox is just on hatchetman duty, cutting all the fat. There is a lot of fat
>>741190718The pajeeta’s master plan is to shut down all of their game development studios?
>we are not hiring at this timeIt's going to SHUT DOWN!
>>741191365dammit Asha you bitch!!!!!
>>741191275kek the Senua 3rd flopstallmentOf course that was going to tank

>>741191405>Will there be a video game crash soonIt's been happening for a while now. Its just now picking up steam
>>741190718would have bought dark ages but they tried selling it for $80never buy a video game for more than $39,99
>>741191714no it didn't
>>741190718>Nah, iD wi-ACK!
TOTALWESTERNGAME INDUSTRYDEATH
>>741190718>sell the new doom at 70 dollars and mandate ray tracing>take 3 months to fix the shield bug, and a whole year for a few new missionsi'm sad but holy fuck they did this to themselves.
I genuinely don't get how he or anyone thinks woke is involved. In like, any direction.The people that have left have all been old white guys. The lady doing the cutting is a brown women. Ninja Theory itself is 95% white dudes from Cambridge
>>741191140White boy summer 2026 is just heating up!
>>741191857>wokeTDA was the most masculine game I've played in years to the point where the witch bitch got fucking raped by Azraak and doomguy had to save the daywhat on earth does he think woke caused this for
Would Asha have killed Tangoworks after they delivered a banger game like that faggot phil did?
>>741190718What does "Let's rry about." mean?
>>741191092>shitpostingYou have no idea how accurate that word is.
>>741191953I don't think so. Asha is approaching this with clinical brutality: you either make an 8/10 at minimum, or they cull you. Lots of pressure but it could pay off, but we're going to see a lot of layoffs of morons who couldn't deliver before that.
>>741191857Here's a picture of Ninja Theory. Where are the green haired DEI hires? Could they be hiding behind one of the 50 chubby bearded white guys?
>>741190718>shut down your entire xbox division and brand >BUT MORE AI DATA CENTERS!! (500 billion+ debt) corpo is so fucking retarded
Doom 2016 was a decent game but the sequels were rancid dogshitgood riddance
>>741191365Thank you, Asha, you brahmin!
>>741190923Dlc coming out in a month
>>741191405We've been working double time on it!OHHHHMMMMMMMMM
>>741190718Meh id died when Doom was downgraded. Whatever the fuck is going on now I don't really want to know about it.Rage 2 was good enough. But was made by avalanche or whoever. The guys behind Mad Max. Wolfenjew is obviously not I'd but some kind of Hebrew abomination alike bethedesa.id should stick around. Unfuck itself. I love megatextures. Rage was awesome except for the crap combat. Need more of that. Need games where you look at everything and are rewarded enough in it being good to look at and unique. Not just some random texture.Re release Doom maybe. As is from the Quakecon version. Make something half decent as opposed to wtf is this crap.Keep the SciFi. Get rid of "heavy metal" crap. No stupid stuff. Everything having function.
>shut down the creators of DOOM>halo studios avoids layoffs 8 years in a rowat this point im convinced Bonnie Ross was banging Phil Spencer and is blackmailing them
>>741191140>>741191898https://youtu.be/YKgEhZHpFeY
>>741190718God let this be real cause it would be so funny
>>741190718OOOOHHH ARGATO GOZAIMASU WATASHI WA GRUMMZ-ARU AND ME NO RIKEY WOKE VIDEO GAMES
>>741190718find a proper articles about it and not some twitter faggot
>>741191601>on hatchetman duty
>>741190718Get woke go broke. Shouldn't have made so many antisemitic FPS games
I wonder if Dark Ages didn't sell well due to how heavy the specs are for it.
>>741192004All FtM males I'm afraid
>>741190718>We have to make games people want to buy to keep our jobs?
>>741192413Certainly a big factorAnd that the game isn't that appealing
>>741192505I will NEVER forgive them.
>>741192413That and it was £70 for a 6 hour campaign and no additional content for half a year after release.
>>741190718So the upcoming DLC might break it or boom it. iD software just got the Slayer back his Dash from Doom Eternal.
>>741190718Good.
>>741190718>>741190769Weren't their last 2 games woke? If so why should I care?
>>741191857>>741192004Woke isn't a skin color it's a set of behaviors. Every single one of those men has green hair just under the skin.
sony killing bungie next hopefully
>>741192413>put in forced ray tracing>more than half your customers cant play itbrilliant!
>>741192413it also looked like ass, introducing bullet hell and parry slop to a first person shooter is bizzare
>>741190718Probably just a hiring freeze. Nu DOOM is one of their few successful games.
>>741192305lets be real you would be soifacing over the right if it came out in 1993
They should make DOOM maker to quickly reuse assets.Snapmap sucks ass, this could be the modern equivalent of DOOM wads.
>>741190718Oh well
>>741192726Forced Ray TracingWorked for Crimson Desert.
>>741190718HAHAHAHA, this is what you fuckers get for trying to pull a fast one on people with Doom the Dark Ages. You should have made QUAKE
>>741192806>lets be real you would be soifacing over the right if it came out in 1993but it didn't you hipotethical hiperbolical false positive connundrum fagt
>>741191405Ninja theory released the flops called Senua games.They refused to listen to feedback and kept releasing walking simulators that nobody wanted.id kept releasing zoom games that nobody wanted.I remember how shilled they were and how btfo are the shills are now.Well I guess they aren't since they already received their wages for their failed shilling.No crash is happening, good games keep being released but not by bloated corporations.
>>741191857surely he can find a way to tie USAID into this
>>741192170Corpos really thought the covid era boom was going to last forever kek
>>741192694it's kinda beautiful that antiwoke doesn't see skin color
>>741192938They did is the fucking insane part, like we'd still be under covid era policies to this day.
>>741190718archive everything. The great video game dark age is incoming (no pun intended)
>>741192783*was
>>741192938>Corpos really thought the covid era boom was going to last forever kekThey're still trying to, with the hantavirus lol
>>741192413It didn't sell well because it was an inferior entry into the franchise
>>741192675>Weren't their last 2 games woke? If so why should I care?explain what was remotely woke in TDAthe one witch bitch gets mogged as soon as she tries to be powerful
>>741190718>Let's rry about.nani?
Just make a regular ass Doom game that runs well on a budget PC and change $50 for it.
>>741191019>he's le grifting because he's telling you to stay subscribed for more newsLMAO trannies are so buckbroken by this individual
>>741192413For me it was the specs, price and the gameplay reveal.
>>741193073charge*
>>741192004>Here's a picture of their appearance>Still think their ideology could be poisonous?Yeah
>>741191019I can't believe he hacked Id's careers site to hide all the jobs just so he could make a grifter post talking about it!
gaming as we knew it is dead. out with the old...
>>741192004>this many people took 7 years to make a 4 hour walking gameI wonder why they're being shut down
>>741191857>I genuinely don't get how he or anyone thinks woke is involved. In like, any direction.meanwhile microsoft is #1 woke pusher>genuinelyKEKsuffocate
>>741193145in with the jew :)
>>741192004Sam Hyde?
>>741190718They made a lot of very stupid decisions for a very long time (decades)
>>741193074Subscribing is just paying himYou can follow for the same thing, but for free
Ban twitter screenshot threads. Kill all twitterniggers.
>>741190718A shell of its former self anyway.
Ninja Theorys problem is they won't make a real fucking video game for some reason. I get that they have a top jej epic mocap studio that they love to show off with their cutscenes of middle-aged women screaming at the camera, but they really fucked themselves by wasting 10+ years with this shit
>>741191601>cutting all the fat.But fat is what makes meat tasty. No fat and it's not good.This is true for video games too.
>>741192938This chart is saying the opposite of what you think it is. FY2020 is April 2019 to March 2020. FY2021 is the first year to include "COVID numbers" and it's an immediate drop that doesn't recover.
>>741193092yeah and there's ample and obvious evidence of what their uhh "ideology" is, right? yeah, for sure, definitely.
>>741193158sincerity scares the weak-willed man. not surprised.
>>741193280the first hellblade played like a normal game nglit's just that you didn't have any HUD shit on screen making you think it's more cinematic than it actually is
>>741193334I don't really care I was just replying to that retarded question like a picture of them could clear it up Perhaps if even the people who give 0 fucks about the argument at hand call you retarded you just made a really retarded post that's all
>no more fucking DOOMSo where is it going to? The saudis or the chinks? Make your bets.
>>741192413It was a combination of everything for me. However, I probably would have picked it up during a sale if not for the high system requirements.My PC is good enough to run it, but with the forced ray tracing I'd only get 60-70FPS, which is not good enough for a fast paced shooter.
>>741191530No one gives a shit about open source licensing.
>>741193301I was referring to the hiring sprees and acquisitions that went on during COVID. Tech companies massively over-expanded and over-hired during that time and in the gaming industry at least ended up with fuck all to show for it and now they're shuttering entire studios
>>741190854>embrace>extend>extinguishDon't any of you go acting like you didn't know.
>>741190967>Ninja Theory is deadFuck
>>741192413>Make a shit game>Realize it's shit>Force it to have ray tracing on all the time so it limits the amount of people that can play it and discover it's shitBrilliant
>>741193074Please just ignore him and he will go away!
>>741190797>What a retard. They either filled the positions or are under a hiring freeze.Companies regularly keep a few positions open even when they're not looking to fill them, makes the company look like it's growing to potential investors.
i never want to see a grumzz tweet unless it's from his mom announcing that he killed himself
>>741193389Grummz was the one who brought up appearances, anon. He's trying to evoke the stereotypical image of what his followers think a woke person looks like. But these are all middle aged white guys, no green hairs, no DEI-friendly skin.Hopefully you won't make such a silly snap-reply next time ;)
>>741192525>my woke game...LE BOMBED?????
>>741190718>own doom ip>can print money by recreating the OG game for newer hardware>turn it into a different game instead, add a bunch of gimmicks>do the same thing to quake (which wasn't even developed by them btw LOL unproven dev will carry the IP because of its name)>at the same time act like they can't put billions of dollars behind unproven IPs because it is le "risky">but are willing to completely rape existing IPs until they are made worthless no matter how big and established (eg Star Wars)why are triple A companies so so painfully retarded?>>741192413watch OG doom gameplaywatch dark ages gameplaythere. your answer.
>>741193497You just baited me, who fucking hates this retarded grummz faggot and wants him to go offline forever, to defend him because you somehow managed to be more retarded than him, but I'll do it because you're asking for it: he was using colorful language, while you tried to make it an actual argumenthope this helps
>>741190769Romero was right about design being law.His game just sucked.
>>741192806? People have been making fun of steel donuts like that before you were ever alive.
>>741190923I think all the games shown last week are fake but Fable and E-day, MS is just trying to drum up interest in a sale for their studios.
>>741193032>it was an inferior entry into the franchiseThe same didn't affect zoom cringeternal though
>>741193481>>741193074
>>741193086cringe*
>>741191019>oh no he is exposing our antiwhite bile>reeeeedie tranny
>>741193573Then Fable gets cancelled next
Woke disease is dying and the reseteratrooncordpedoskyplebbitquorafacebooktranny suicide rate is at an all time high lol
>>741191451Go back to redd*t
>>741191530>BSD-licensed,>microshart>open sourceAHAHAHAHAHAno
>>741190718>make one Doom game that didn't perform as well because they went more experimental and made it dark fantasy style Doom with a shield, which didn't click with as many people>DEAD FRANCHISE, SHUT IT ALL DOWNwtf is up with westerm game studios? They're always just shutting everything down.
>>741193718Wtf am I reading? What kind of kool-aid are these "people" drinking?
>>741192004They made donte, they deserve it.
>>741191857>how he or anyone thinks antiwhiteism is involved.1. fixed2. because it is>muh old White dudes3. Your exposing your own antiwhiteism by saying this.4. Whites can be antiwhite as well.5. kill yourself.
>>741193824Because the budgets are huge, they are one flop away from shutting down.
>>741193805They could re-license (add a new license, for the record) the already existing open-source releases, tho. They did that for the previously proprietary MS-DOS source code drops.
>>741193824Budgets are out of control. Corpos expect green line to go up. Games take 5 to 10 years to complete development now.
>>741193882>budgets are huge>their biggest games cost next to nothing i.e. oblivion remaster was outsourced for $1.5M to virtuous it's just hollywood accounting.
>>741193678Fable is safe, it's made by the Forza Horizon team, State of Decay 3 is next
>>741190769I stole it from Blockbuster decades ago.
>>741192359whatever happened with this faggot?
>>741192226Id died the moment they were bought by zenimax, IMO.
>>741193950I feel that remakes are side projects, but the zoom games were mainline games that failed to meet expectations.Next time they should not be hiring journalists to write positive reviews and shills who insult potential customers by calling them poor.This tactic bit them in the ass.
western ips like doom, gears, halo etc are the star wars of vidya.only greying millenials dying off from colon cancer give a shit about them
>>741193981I'm telling
>>741191601That's what everyone assumed because she was unqualified for the job.
>>741190718>No romero>No Carmack>Not even Carmack 2 or McGeeWhy should anybody care?
>>741194015turning his country into Israel 2.0
>>741194015He's presiding over a society where 50 oz of bottled water costs 2 fucking bucks.
>>741192004Congratulations, you found out chuds weren't complaining about race or gender.
>>741190718I honestly don't see id costing them all that much even if Doom is starting to go on the way out again. Microcock's got plenty of other game developers they can cut that aren't pulling their weight by comparison.
>>741194150is that supposed to be low or high
>>741194151>race or gender.lol>Congratulations, you found out chuds weren't complainingLMFAOThis is all just so sad
>>741194179Dunno, tell me.
>>741192305yes. and both are badass.
>Acquire studios for billions of dollars>Do nothing with them>Shut them downWhat's this strategy called?
>>741191530>people didn't use my source code in the slopmachine because it's licensed under GPL!>it didn't actually do anything for ME directly nor did it improve our code!>the industry didn't use it because it was licensed under GPL! (after it was already obsolete)Free software is software that respects the user's freedom, if you don't write software with that goal in mind, you're a faggot and you shouldn't be writing software.>but whatabout-No excuses, go be a faggot somewhere else, if you don't do it for the love of the game, I'm not running your faggoty-ass jeetcode on my machine.
>>741194343Acquiring IP, the one thing that matters to them.
>>741194343Holding the bag
>>741192004Nig, they're always outsourcedWhat you should be looking for is the amount of women working at these studios. The order of priority for the jewery is Women > Mental illness types > Niggers > Jeets > White hetero guys. DEI was made to benefit women.
>>741194363It's impossible to make a living out of free software in video games, at the massive scale id Software did.
>>741194150Bong here, ours is about £1.60 now. We're not far off.
>>741194230i think he's confused as to whether it's 3k dollars or 3 dollars
>>741194390Sorry, I've already been told by your fellow #EpicChudGamers that skin color doesn't matter, woke is a state of mind. Namaste.
>>741190718It has been fun reading the fallout of this shitshow getting worse and potentially even worse than now. A cherry on top would be some closures on Playstation's side. Let this shitty AAA industry finally burn itself alive.
>>741193334>there's ample and obvious evidence of what their uhh "ideology" is, right?Yuh.Antiwhiteism.The deliberate, active, intentional attack on Whites, on Western kind.This can be anything from having emasculated White male characters. Or 'muh stronk can do anything wahmen'. Companies that intentionally refuse to promote or hire White men or try to force them out of the company; diversity exclusions/firings.Could be turning long cherished White heros, leaders, or legends, historic or fictional, into non-whites. Like killing off Peter Parker for myles morales. Or netflix/bbc trying to make achillies, Washioning, Beethoven, etc as non-white.Among many other things.Microsoft is disgustingly antiwhite, and constantly push White erasure. Ninja Theory aided them in such endeavors.Antiwhiteism is why every fucking Western studio is shit now. It needs to be purged and White positivity take its place so the quality of games improve.
>>741194451Well it kind of has advanced that far. Even school teachers have to go through DEI training. We call it Bridge now.
>>741194508oh for sure, definitely.
>>741194476scooped up by tencent for pennies on the dollar
>>741193273Damn FIDLAR used to be so good
>>741194476it's looking like the japs are the only ones who will survive this mass killing
Amazon will acquire Fallout and finish the job (raping it)
>>741194443Here's the thing: Argentina has a fraction of the productivity of the United Kingdom.Productivity is the result of two things: Infrastructure, and human capital.The former is deliberately detonated by the government in order to save money, and the latter is being cannibalised by moonlighting.>>741194446The dollar here is aproximately 1,5K ARS. 3000 ARS = 2 USD.
It could also be possible that they're branching off very soon.
>>741190769That was Ionstorm, not Id
>>741194628At least the show is good.
>>741193980I would not be surprised at SOD 3 and the devs being next, from what we've seen there's no reason it took this long to come out after 2
I blame Tim Willits
>>741190769I rented it. Once.
>>741194416>It's impossible to make a living out of free software in video games, at the massive scale id Software did.Maybe that's the whole point, Anon.Maybe it should be the games built on the engine that make the money.There's a reason people started slowly writing off id's works for a while as just being tech demos, and that's because they started hyperfixating on technology to the degree that they made a doom game with a garbage tier shotgun to try and sell their lighting engine as able to create spooky environments.Hell, thanks to said FOSS licensing, you can FIX that broken shotgun and it makes the game infinitely more fun to play through.
>Id...sofwaer?>But....Id company? Id not sofwaer.....>Meekrosof....shut down bideo gaems?>Meekro, no liek gaems....?
>>741190718but how about grummz studio though? its been 8 or 9 years without a game is it getting shut down by microshart or something? or massive layoff? should everyone subscribe to him more?
>>741194476Playstation has already done a good few closures anon.But more are coming yes.
>>741193074Grummz is objectively a massive faggot.
>>741190718RIP, although they're nothing like how they used to be.
Kinda sucks because this is the only studio that knows how to make games properly but Doom wads are eternal and you can run them in raspberry pis, we'll survive the blowout
>>741194808nvm its 10 years apparently, since 2016. No game since 2016, is this 'massive layoff' affecting grummz studio as well?
>>741194705S2 was mid
>>741194801>Maybe it should be the games built on the engine that make the money.Gamedevs really need to sell money on consoles and use Steamwork tech, all of which require NDAs, you massive mongoloid.
>>741191951>>741192004Do 'ya think, maybe, just for a moment, he's referring to Microsoft in a collective sense and -- work with me here for just a moment -- doesn't literally mean literally every fucking person in literally every fucking position in literally every fucking company working on literally every fucking project in the entirety under Microsoft's umbrella is, at all times, woke in all things?I swear it's like that meme "most discussions involving [group of utterly stupid fucktard moron faggots (e.g. (you))] comprises them deliberately pretending not to understand absurdly simple things."It's like you fail to comprehend even the simplest, most basic concepts of human speech, like "generalizations" and "broad strokes" and such.
>>741194705kill yourself goylem
>>741194527acting like a bitch nigga won't change reality fag.
>>741194907>it's just like [Twitter post]lmao kill yourself
>>741193406It is time for Doom to be license to a Sony-style movie game developer
>>741193158>meanwhile microsoft is #1 woke pusheryou mean Sony
>>741194907All those words and you still can't quantify what about TDA is woke lol
>>741192004Like a 1/4 of the people in that picture are women, which are the biggest beneficiaries of DEI hiring
>>741190718They died when they fired Mick Gordon.
>>741194937*acting like I'm listening, nodding etc., but it's obvious my mind is elsewhere* absolutely agreed.
>>741194642>5 fucking thousand to ride the bus at best, if not 45 grandBruhThere's no way.Did they fucking forget to exchange the currency value?
>>741191137definitely a bigger failure than doom why does he think he's some sort of authority to talk about games when he's never put out anything successful in his life

>>741190854They might be the plan, they didn't count on Korea, China and Taiwan to speedrun 30 years of video game evolution in less than 10, plus a development pace that western studios just can't compete with. When (not if, when) Stellar Blade 2 releases and starts breaking records the shift will happen where the main industry and revenue will come from the west.Except for Japan, Nintendo is struggling the hardware is not selling as fast as ir should, so the software revenue suffers too, and this isn't the same economy of the 1980s or the 2010s, a hardware crash is not something they can withstand I think, the movies did well, and Japanese economy depends on Nintendo, so they might get bailed in worst case scenario, but their development budget would get very tight, less games and longer waiting time between them. Japan at least will still have good game development companies, so there's that.Playstation really fucked up this generation too, while the issues with the PS3 were due to too much ambition, with the PS5 their sin has been hubris, delivering subpar hardware and subpar games, and expecting people to hail them as high art, disgusting. And xbox...What can I say after today's massacre? All the good will Sharma had gathered has gone down the toilet, there is not getting trust back into that brand.There's blood in the water, if Tencent can reveal a truly next gen console this year at TGS and deliver it by 2027, they won't just be winning the next generation before it even starts, they wouls be gutting video game hardware development in the east for the next decade at least.

>>741195419>>741195427The entire video game industry runs on keeping the game code proprietary, and if they did flop, it wasn't because they didn't stick to some retarded brand of free software puritanism, it was because their games had bloated budgets, and/or simply sucked.
>>741190718Oh for fuck's sake, now this is just becoming EA-tier.
>>741195513>The entire video game industry runs on keeping the game code proprietaryIt changes nothing.Right now, it looks like they could use any customers they could get.Sure would be a bad business move to be turning away potential customers over thinking your special secret sauce is move valuable than potential sales.
>>741195356Oops I confused east and west, apologies I'm a little drunk. :3
>>741195575Even Linux goycattle is more than happy playing proprietary games on Linux thanks to Valve and want Epic Games to make their live-service goyslop with spyware available on Linux, get off your high horse, faggot. You're an absolute zero to the left.
>>741195356>Nintendo is struggling the hardware is not selling as fast as ir shouldDon't mean to sound like that guy, but the Switch 2 blew well past Nintendo's sales expectations from their financial reports in May. Add on to the fact most of their games don't even have a fraction of a budget compared to competitors and thus make most of their money back on investment even with lower end million sellers. They can weather the industry shitting themselves for awhile.
>>741191857>usaid stopped>suddenly woke became broke2+2=4
>>741195641>You're an absolute zero to the left.I'm not the one who's going under and has to burn half the studios they own to stay afloat.No GPL, no money.

>>741195767They're only doing well because they own the market for selling other people's games.MS and Sony are barreling down a cliff right now to see who can die faster.
>>741195642I think that's just corporate speech bs, with corporations just like women I see what they do, not hear what they say. Seeing how Nintendo has slashed down the main hardware price around 40%, and reduced price for digital and even physical software, that doesn't seem like moves you would do if your hardware was selling that well.
>>741191019I am anti-woke. But faggots like Grimmz, Yorch, and other fags are making us look bad. Fuck this guy and their orbiting losers.
>>741195878>selling other people's gamesThe vast majority of them being proprietary.>inb4 they're flops tooSo, how does Valve manages to stay on business then?You can't really get that much money if the market's dead.Anyway, Counter-Strike 2 is one of their best money makers.Also, what about Nintendo? The mobile market that gives lots of money to Apple and Google is also fully proprietary, you disingenuous faggot.
>>741195435It will be like Epic.Once you let pajeets run the place it quickly becomes a shitting street.All the original developers and artists who worked on Fortnite were fired a few weeks ago and replaced by HB1 who proceed to use budget to finance brainrot games made by other hindus who stole the content from youtubers.Hindus are perhaps a greater threat to the western world than even China and I would dare to say even Israel.
>>741195824>New Blood troon
>>741190718What will they do when they've closed all of their first party studios that aren't 343i and people would rather play third party games on PlayStation and Steam? What's the play here? Rename Xbox to Halobox?

>>741190718Not going to lie, I was expecting a new Quake game. This is a genuinely massive loss if true, especially since their engine is incredible and should be the industry standard instead of dogshit Unreal.
>>741195876those laid off don't lie tho
This is such a dark day for Xbox bros. Like this is legit sad. You can make fun of Xbox for all their bullshit in the past but it's still incredibly sad.
>>741190718Honestly surprised they'd even think of shutting down id Software while John Carmack is still alive
>>741195991They publish other stuff that Ultrabuttplug and all of them are great, they even co-operated with the re-release of ROTT you faggit.Name a better publisher for DOOM or your mother will die in her sleep tonight
>>741196205Kill yourself.
>>741196195It was sad the day Microsoft bought all these studios like id, Bethesda, Obsidian, Activision, etc because those of us who remember the 00's already knew that it meant the death of every single one. Microsoft has shut down so many great devs in the past and this was inevitable.
>>741191405None of these studios have made anything good in 20 years. Nobody cares.
>>741190718There's no way they'll shut down Doom, it's a pillar of Microsoft games. It's more profitable than Halo these days.
>>741195949You remind me of someone I knew who went into penny stocks and was confused that people were not willing to buy his penny stocks for higher then the amount he paid for it.

>>741192413It's just a shitty doom derivation which flanderizes doomguy.
>>741196268Lmao Raped and Gaped.Also your mom is dead.
There are so many of these studios that just feel like they were so misused and/or lacked proper guidance. Doom 2016 was amazing but we didn't really need two sequels. Who the fuck greenlit not one but two Senua sequels? Outer Worlds 2 after the tepid response to the first? And the new Gears basically just looks like they are doing Judgement again. Also what the fuck is Bethesda doing?
>>741190967>Ninja Theory literally announced a new game a week ago at Microsoft's big even and they're getting axed today kek. MS has no idea what they're doing."IF WE ANNOUNCE A NEW GAME THEY CAN'T GET RID OF US!"Turns out all announcing a new game did was remind Microsoft that these studios exist.
>>741190718The only decent studio under Bethesda, Arkane and Ninja Theory should be the one got shutdown. I hope Id goes independent and stop all of that feminist bullshit storyline like the princess in Dark Age
>>741196054i mean proper sequels with new levels and updated graphics but keeping the original essence. not remakes/ports. my lizard brain doesn't even operate under that logic. there are only so many times you can rerelease the literal same game.
>>741196318Fair enough.https://www.dia.es/agua-y-refrescos/agua/p/566840,89 EUR for 50 oz of bottled water.
>company isn't currently hiring and isn't posting fake positions they won't actually hire for>OMG DA COMPANY IS BEING DELETED CUMMZ SED ZO!!!!!For the love of all that is holy, stop getting your news and worldview from blue checkmarks on twitter and think it's ok just because melon husk is currently in charge.
I seriously doubt they shut Id down, they are at the very least productive.
>>741190967Ninja Theory made one (1) game in 8 years and it was a colossal flop. If anything it's amazing M$ didn't axe them sooner.A far cry from ID who're actually consistent.
>>741196457>Doom 2016 was amazing but we didn't really need two sequels.Eternal was great, hell the reception of Doom 2016 on /v/ was worse than that of Eternal on launch.The issue is that Dark ages should had been a new IP but Bethesda would not allow them.In fact, Id got very close to getting Bethesda to finance a new Quake game.
>>741196457doom 2016 was considered a semi-flop for a game that was supposed to reboot the entire franchise. the writing was on the wall even back then
>>741190769You should never have cut your hair, John.
>>741195949>Seeing how Nintendo has slashed down the main hardware price around 40%LMAO! Okay buddy. You obviously either don't keep up on these things, get your info from bad faith sources (/v/), or pulling my leg. Either way. I'll let you have it because I know regardless what I say or show, you seem pretty set on that line of thinking.
>>741196595>Ninja Theory made one (1) game in 8 yearsForgetting someone, sweetie?

>>741195356>All the good will Sharma had gathered has gone down the toilet????????I actually like her more now. I want devs making wokeslop out of industry Things need to decline in order to improve

>>741193565>who fucking hates this retarded grummz faggotI know that domestic lolcow Airbagged has a hate boner against Grummz.
So how much longer til gaming in the west goes back to normal?>Games are fun and aren't movies>Politically correct shit altogether in western games is fucking dead>Budgets aren't wasted on tons of useless crapI assume 2031? Unless we're lucky and we see it change in 2028 or 2029?
>>741196609>doom 2016 was considered a semi-flop for a game that was supposed to reboot the entire franchiseIt is a good thing /v/ opinion doesn't matter for shit since all that is popular right now on this here mongolian basket waving forum are f2p chink fap games, even total shit like Marvel Rivals.Doom 2016 is what kick started the Boomer Shooter genre and alongside Wolfenstein, they were exceptionally profitable games.Eternal was massively popular too, even getting representation in Smash Bros.Dark Ages underperformed because unlike the previous two games that were exceptionally optimized, DA was meant to showcase RTX gimmicks. That was counter productive to the game.That alone reduces significantly the amount of potential buyers.Not to mention $80 for a game with no MP or replayability at the time.The reason you are seeing the entire opinion on doom 2016 flip around is mostly because it is playable on ewaste computers, with Eternal following in a few years.Meanwhile DA will be severely hindered by Nvidia's interference for a good while.Fuck I got a 2025 RTX card and the fucking thing still struggles to run DA while I can mod the fuck out of Eternal.To make matters worse Gamepass is total cancer for videogames.In order to make games profitable, new releases should not be released on Gamepass first, that is as retarded as Sony gambling all on Marathon.I got what I wanted with Id Studio so it is not like a total loss, also I am sure this is bullshit with Quakecon coming up and the new DLC, then again Sarah Bond shut down Hi-fi Rush despite critical acclaim, a game also sabotaged by the Gaypass.
>>741190718PC Cucks in shambles LMAO
>>741190769My father did..
>>741196205Ultrakill and FAITH are my favorites from them, but their other stuff is great.

>>741193981zased... so fvarking zased...........
>>741197205lol filtered skill issue git gud you erratic newfag
>>741191137After all these years I still don't understand why retards collectively decided that having a marketing truck for your game is such an outrageous and unique thing.
>>741190718Bethesda next pls
>>741196105Nope, dude is like almost 60 and unemployed, he canceled his game and now he's probably making money off of grifting.Content creation is niche, It's just like Onlyfans if 100k people follow you on Twitter you are bound to have some crazy lunatics who donate you a fuckton of money.
>>741195045>when he's never put out anything successful in his lifeHe worked on WoW, Starcraft 1 and Diablo 2 and had a high position in all of them. The fuck are you talking about?
>>741190718Was latest DOOM that bad? Like I thought it was good I zipped around shielding bashing all shits and shooting me shotgun I never thought wow I am playing a ass game totally buns. Just disappointed in the lack of glory kills is all. Not like wow I better boycott this to the point they all lose their jobs like Jesus Christ what the hell.
>>741194642Is it really? What does britain produce that cost so much? All they have is colonies making business through their legal and banking system.

>>741197202But... you can choose "other". It's exactly the same as all the totally not obnoxious shit they do now
>>741197569>What does britain produce that cost so much?surveillance and immigrants
>>741192413None of the replies mentioning the Poz'd cutscenes doesn't surprise me, none of them played it.
>>741193946But they released 3 Doom games in the span of 9 years, and 2 expansions.
>>741197625True but they weren't yapping about it and being like, "look!! see!!! we love everybody!! please follow our ideology!! CHUDDIE!!"That's the difference.
>>741196268He was persian and zoroastrian, lol. Mega-goyim.
>>741197457Id Software is a Bethesda's subsidiary reason I believe this to be fake and gay.Arkane doesn't come as a surprise, even though it is ALSO Bethesda's property there were talks to shut it down during the Zenimax's era as well.Most likely what is being talked with Id right now is the direction of the company since Shattir Pajeetya most likely embezzled funds through DEI and now the gravy train has made its last stop, so Xbox needs to be profitable, which means Id needs to push a Battle Royale which is also something that is on the table and hinted by Xbox as well.Will Asha Nutella be stupid enough to start chasing the Live Service Dragon like Sony? I would not put it past her.But Id is definitively not getting axed.In fact it would be monumentally stupid and even Todd would have a saying on that.Losing Id Tech would be fucking retarded.Unlike every other studio, Id has the capability to land on its feet by its technology alone and Bethesda would not let them go as easily.
Both Ninja Theory and Id are tech support studios first and game studios second, why would they axe them? It's more likely that they're being merged into a MS digital tech group.
>>741193981holy based
>>741197539>Was latest DOOM that bad?Goypass killed all momentum and the game on launch was incredibly easy.Since then it has received waves of updates pretty much every month with the DLC possibly making the game better than it ever was but honestly, much like Marathon, is there a reason a simple honest to God 4vs4 PVP mode is frowned upon in the industry now?Just a simple MP that works by P2P connection would had given the game an easy longevity boost.
>>741197757Tech support goes to india
>>741197202guarantee if a game did this same thing these days youd call it woke garbage. you give Ultima 3 a pass because its old. hell some would probably even give Caper in the Castro a pass if it came out these days, and it follows a lesbian detective named Tracker McDyke.
>>741193273What does he know?
>>741196294Doom will live on, probably change hands to preserve it. But a studio under the name of id may not. To be fair, it's not like present day id contained anyone from the old days, it was just a name.I guess this is a lesson to always make Doom first person shooters and not parryslop.
>>741190967KEK really??
>>741198013Doom lives on through the countless passion project boomer shooters doing more for the genre than ID ever did
>>741192525Dark Ages sold like shit first month because of the 70-80 dollar pricetag.
>>741196595>If anything it's amazing M$ didn't axe them sooner.It's not "amazing", it's the whole reason that Phil got ousted. You could cull 90% of Microsoft's gaming staff and lose no productivity or potential for profit. They're all dead weight, either making trash that no one wants or just not doing anything at all. That's not counting people like the retards at Obsidian that seem dead set on being active problems for Microsoft.
>>741198085Well, more than MODERN id. I'd say making the base game is pretty crucial.
>>741198013question. would you consider any character action game "parryslop"? metal gear rising, for example. parrying is an important mechanic in that game.
I refuse to believe the dark ages flopped hard enough to outweigh the massive successes 2016 and eternal were.
>>741198093Previews also didn't look promising. It wasn't Doom as we knew it. It wasn't even Doom Eternal.
>>741190854>hire mick gordon >he gives you a certified banger sound track>tiny dick middle manager starts shit with mick gordon>he leaves>game flops and is instantly forgotten Deserved.
>>741190967Technically if an investor hears the news they could be bought out and remain alive, but that's only if and I don't know what can of retard with money to burn would do that, but it's possible that's what Microshart is hoping for. Basically "I'm throwing this away if no one wants it"
>>741198154Look.All I know is parrying should not exist in an FPS. Waiting for counter opportunities is for other genres. Putting it in FPS is hackneyed as fuck. Just amateurish genre blending done by hacks.
>>741198173and Doom Eternal wasnt Doom 2016. after Doom 2 and its expansions, Id started making each Doom game more of its own thing gameplay wise. 3 was more of a horror game, 2016 was a bit more back to basics with a modern twist, eternal was hyped up on crack and speed, dark ages is slower and weightier, with more of a focus on making you feel like a walking tank.
>>741198248It should just be a perfect block/dodge mechanic to give you a boost and help to break up the action.
>>741197075Kind of. They were so ridiculous and so bad they were really fun to laugh at.
>>741198248it worked well in Ultrakill. very well, actually.
>>741198278>dark ages is slower and weightier, with more of a focus on making you feel like a walking tankYou're repeating marketing taglines. Eternal introduced simon says gameplay into the 2016 formula and Dark Ages made simon says the whole game
>>741198278I appreciate innovation, and attempts to make every single entry an experience in its own right. But Dark Ages just didn't look like a game I wanted to play.
>>741193718>Anita told us how to make an inoffensive, lame and gay product.
>>741194896Clown
>>741198354If I had to list things that worked in Ultrakill, "parry" would not be near the top of the list.
>>741197997>would read papers published in mathematics journals to optimize early raytracing on 90s computersName me any other game dev this based.
I understand what the pajeeta is doing nowAt the peak of 360 popularity Xbox focused only on Halo/Forza/Gears so the pajeeta is trying to get rid of everything else no realizing than focusing on only three IPs was what killed Xbox

Korea and even fucking China now) just make games that people like for the most part.>Japanese economy depends on Nintendo, so they might get bailed in worst case scenario, but their development budget would get very tight, less games and longer waiting time between them. Japan at least will still have good game development companies, so there's that.Mostly true, but Nintendo is doing fine along with Japan as a whole. Japanese game dev is pretty cheap all things considered and most Japanese games end up being fine at the worst and don't try to be live service slop or move games, but actual games.The rest of your post is pretty spot on though.

>>741198716>no mindscape was memorabledid you not do the 60s acid trip level or the cooking show one? those 2 were standouts to me. hell, the gambling one stood out because of its concept alone, as did cruller's correspondance with the mail room stuff. i havent played the game in a few years and i still remember these lmao.also the first game really wasnt grimdark or edgy. it was very tim burton in terms of its humor and tone. the only thing ill say that 2 was a bit of a step back on was the art style. the characters lacked the more angular designs i appreciated in the first game.
>>741199419>Every game will be online required with a built in store, thank god for capitalismwarframe made it work but amazing everyone else who tries to copy it always fail like destiny etc. need devs who really care about their own product
>>741190718actual games journalism
good, we might get some chud dev leak the doom 2016/eternal source code now
>>741190718>doom got pozzed>studio closingPottery
>>741190718Oh no, should have listened more to the faggots who are actively opposed to everything that made the other games decent.
>>741192413RT GPUs are nowhere near as commonplace as they should be for forced raytracing to be a thing. They need to be (used) RX 580/GTX 1060/[insert cheap used GPU here] cheap for them to become common enough. That and lack of Mick Gordon or anyone who composed for the Eternal's DLC expansion packs really hurt the game.
>>741199168and the new dev is sure to outdo previous successes with their fanfics and reimaginings because....? oh yeah, do it to SCAM the old fans. they know their game will suck and will be compared against the old thing, so they try something completely different which in turn resets any momentum the IP has and eventually kills it.
>>741190718Big if true, we didn't have a huge studio like that collapse in a long time. Not like it would be a big loss though, they're just a nu-Doom factory these days.>>741193981Man, I wanna play Mischief Makers, but the emulation is so ass, the game was unplayable last I checked.
>>741193981I have several blockbuster labeled carts from my childhood. I'm pretty sure when they sold games they just never took them off, you didn't steal them at all!
>>741192413In this case Gamepass is Microsoft's own undoing, if you felt like playing the game you just sub for a month, beat it, and there is no real reason to go back through it in the future so you're done.Also, deserved to not sell well with all the fucking parry-shit you must do in an FPS.
>>741190718>make one good Doom game/reboot>shoehorn in the most obnoxious game mechanics into the every subsequent title
>>741199817That's exactly what I did. Now the new suits are coming in and seeing no sales and declining subs. Gamepass was the real final nail.
>>741190718>not hiring new people for 5 minutes>OMG THEY DOOMED THEY DEADwhy is /v/ full of so many retards?
>>741190718id hasn't been id since Carmack left. Just another zombie corpse.
>>741199714even my rg35xxh runs it perfectly, the issue is the game was designed for the n64 controller and thus requires an n64 controller in order to play it properly
>>741199817I think the bigger problem is that they didn't have enough of those games that people would sub for. I think I did for Starfield and nothing else
>>741193074>I spout opinions you like!>give me money!>this is not a grift according to /vpol/lmao you faggots are worse than twitchniggers
>>741197997
To play devils advocate, hiring freezes and restructuring aren't the same as shut down and they would also manifest as no job listings.
>>741199451I played all three gameYes even that shitty point and click vr oneThe first games levels and humor are betterBulls, cia, milk man, circus, ww2All better levelsThe jokes were better the characters were weird and grossThe only thing in the sequel i remember is that hippy level had a five minute fag song at the end that and erm actually water isnt bad, it wants to save him because his granny was a super powerful psychic warrior that apparently no one else knew
>>741193981>wizardry 5 snes cart amazing
>>741200293How so?
>>741191740>YOU KILLED THE WESTERN GAMING INDUSTRY FUCKING CHUD
>>741190769
>>741192525during the normal days of the videogame industry, so pretty much the ENTIRE latest 40 years since after the crash of 1983, a main developer making a game that doesn't sell as expected just meant they can learn from that mistake and avoid the same moves for the next project.we're not talking about a new studio or a new IP, many extremely successful IPs have their bad apples among their releases, yet they kept going on and making better gamesthe idea that an entire game studio needs to be closed cause ONE game they made wasnt the blockbuster they expected is an extremely recent one
>>741191530this
>>741190718"You control the games you make.""You do not control the sells they make."
>>741192413looked like ass, ran like ass, sounded like ass, played like ass, story was assliterally nothing good about it, it was an objective downgrade from eternal (which also had a gay and lame story, but nonetheless)
>>741200578because the c buttons are the directional boost buttons and a is grab and b is jump, r is look-ahead iirc and z/l i forget what it does anymore, if anything
>>741196051they will bomb entire cities with nerve gas before they give taxpayers back their money
>>741195435microsoft is already dead, there's 0 way for them to get rid of indians now with one at the top and she's going to be making sure they prioritise hiring indians from now on
>>741193063>>741191957There is an internet culture trend (originally stemming from localized text boards and gaming communities like League of Legends or Twitch) where "-ry" is appended to a thought to mean "abbreviated text / filling in the blank."It effectively translates to: "Let's fuss over" or "Let's stress about" whatever topic follows, usually with a layer of sarcasm (e.g., "Let's rry about the details when we get there").
>Made one failed game>It was enough to get yourself downsized and laid offThe Dark Ages is an embarrasment
>>741190718>YOU CHOOSE THE BUTTONS YOU PRESS, CHUD!>Chooses not to press 'buy'>WTF ECONOMIC TERRORISTS!? HELP HELP! ADL THERE'S TEXTBOOK ANTISEMITISM ON DISPLAY!
>>741193273Good. The faster the (((industry))) kills itself the better.>>741198093Are you sure it wasn't because the game was absolute fucking dogshit and anyone could tell just by looking at it?
>>741200994They could have just made a Shadow Warrior game. This gameplay looks like it.
>>741199165who do you think paid for those reviews retard???
>>741200329He spouts opinions you dont like thats why you try to label him as le grifter.
you know what Im glad all these studios are getting shut downEidos Montreal got axed and sidelined for way less and they actually made decent games and Im still not over it
>>741200280You phony motherfucker.
>>741192413I'm not paying 80€ for a fucking videogame. I waited until it was on sale to get it.
>>741190718and all I had to do was... nothing
>>741201179Chuddha is too powerful. Nerf please.
>>741201179But Chuddha, so many corporate slaves who want us dead will lose their jobs.
>>741201105Eidos Monstreal kept trimming away Lara Croft's sex appeal and made 2 forgettable, subpar Deus Ex games. They had it comming.
>>741195641>taking Linuxfags as an example of anything
>>741201423we get it you love supporting jeets
>>741192004The all white devs didn't stop them from making dogshit, woke femoid simulator. Westoids are incapable of making good games
Regardless of what you thought of TDA, we can all agree the engine is good right? That needs to survive
>>741194343denying your enemy ips
>>741193293why are you eating game companies vro
Id shutting down would be absolutely insane kek
>>741201483Most loonixfags ARE jeets slopping out shit though. Have you SEEN most commits these days? You can't escape.
>>741201491meanwhile niggers and jeets still haven't even made a functioning city
>>741190718That's what they get for not making any good games in 27 years.
>>741200975More of a statement on the industry. From the 80s going into the early 2000s, even selling half that many copies would have been a huge achievement. But budgets have grown massive and extreme greed and desire for constant growth are spiraling out of control.
>>741201317Im not arguing about whether you like the games or notThe TR games were made mainly by Crystal Dynamics, while Eidos was a side studio to help with development. Those games sold tens of millions of copies.The DE series with only 2 gamss sold at minimum 12 million copies by 2022, even through Squares best efforts to sell DLC, cut the game in half and the horrible marketing campaignAll the while they did a bunch of support development in the meantime.The only bad sales performance they ever had was when Square forced them into making GotG and even that reviewed wellSo I dont feel bad at all that these shit studios that dont make money and sell no games are getting shut down when other much more successful studios got sidelined and relegated for way less
>>741191137Just scrub off the logo and this thing could easily be rented to fit into any sci-fi movie/TV show from the past decade. Why are people so dumb with saving money?
>>741197486He propably lives off of stock dividends
>>7412017091 million copies is only good when you are an indie dev living under the basement. This kind of sale is considered a failure way back in the early 2000s.
>>741201732Mark Kern is an ex Blizzard producer and Blizzard's generic scifi games i.e Starcraft worked, so he thought he could achieve the same.
>>741199658>and the new dev is sure to outdo previous successes with their fanfics and reimaginings because....?Doom 2016 and Eternal, as much as I hate them, had WAY more profit than the originals.
>>741190718Doom fans will only be able to rip and tear holes in their underwear now, sad!
>>741192004>leftoids are so racist and hateful that they think ideology has to be reflected in appearance and skin colorWe must be better women.
>>741200994I fucking hate this kind of game design, it's so lazy. >I have a mechanical idea and I'm going to put it in the game no matter how stupid it looks, feels or plays because I'm too lazy to work within constraintsThis is pure brute force with no sophistication or finesse and results in a retarded glowing simon says mobile game instead of what is supposed to be an atmospheric FPS. This would be like sekiro having a scrolling neon guitar hero track taking up a third of the screen with giant blinking lazer swords so you get the game is about rhythm.
>>741198516>>741198580>sell your studio to company >do nothing >studio is forced to keep paying you or give you back the studioGood job, retard. You couldn't think 10 minutes into the future and came up with a system that wouldn't work at all.It's people like you that create 90% of the issues facing modern society with your "I have good intentions therefore everything I do is good" horseshit.
>>741191740It's fucking bizarre how they slit their own throats thinking they were destroying chuddies, whom they perceived as preventing them from making more money. The only audience for video games that ever existed was men. Once they started making games for anybody but men, they started failing. They were warned that only the male audience existed but they were too full of hubris to listen. They actually thought they were discovering the americas in terms of expanding and finding new audiences, they thought they were the Christopher Columbus of video games discovering women, trannies and otherwise normie audiences which didn't play video games.
>>741202025Companies shouldn't be allowed to merge to begin with, antitrust laws are there for a reason.
Hey Marty. Was it worth it?
>>741199419How do you think this would work in communism? Would you tell your miners and truckers that they have to work longer hours so we can gloriously fund more video games nobody wants to play? The money those studios are burning is real money that has real value which needs to be generated by real people doing real things. You can just wave a magic wand and have that not be true. Even if you get rid of money, the value remains.
>>741199656I don't think the market of people on 10-year-old hardware who are really dedicated about buying full price titles is as big as poor people pretend they are.
>>741192735I love both bullethell and parry-slop but it didn't look appealing to me at all, seemed completely shoehorned took away from what was already a really solid gameplay loop they just spend 2 games refining
good less slop
>>741199817Always great how the gamepass cope is only ever used for bad games while good ones still sell.
>>741190718Nice! Every game they made since doom 20016 has been getting worse and worseWe need to stop clinging to brands, new companies need to replace old ones that become shit.
*kills id software*
>>741202198>Good less slop>posts Nomuraslop
>>741201757Greed greed is that what it all is greed? I find it to be the worst sin above all others. Greed is the way by which the worst type of corruption seeps into the body, destroying both mind and spirit, rotting away all values and morals, breeding hypocrisy. A parasite slowly killing the host organism, a cancer. I'm not sure why Dante only put it on the fourth circle of Hell. I'll ask him in the afterlife if I ever get a chance to meet him.
>>741202042The wokies within the game industry are an inversion of the autistic gamers you find here, they have the same blindspots. Autistic people struggle to imagine other ways of thinking so they assume their own likes and dislikes are universal, this is why furries think their awful character designs will appeal to everyone or why there's an endless parade of nostalgic jrpg fans who won't let go of turn based combat and who seek any mangled justification that everyone else shares their opinion. They keep going even when the market is giving them the same negative signals. >people actually love turn based combat look at E33! >people actually love woke shit, look at baldurs gate 3!nostalgic boomers reccomend crusty, ancient games to zoomers and expect them to have as much fun as they did as a 12 year old in the 90s. It's exactly the same pattern of thought but with gay shit because they weren't the target for the way games used to be.
Id are owned by Zenimax. They're not in danger right now this minute. Maybe if the DLC flops. Plus the name itself, Doom, carries so much significance that throwing that away is insanity.Now Ninja Theory? They're done.
If you deliver a SHIT game you deserve to have your studio shutdown. Dark Ages has to easily be one of the biggest misses in the industry. Doom 2016 was a dunk. Eternal was a slamdunk. The DLCs were OK. All you had to do was hop on eternal dick and ride it out for 2 more sequels but they sat down and thought "what if we made it slower LOL give him a shield because thats what people love about doom" fucking morons.
>>741202290Some of his thoughts on game design were smart and can be found in FROM or capcoms games but he took it way too far and fucked up every other part of the game to accommodate his simon says mechanics.
>>741195130>Be Kallie Plagge>Work for IGN>Review Pokemon ORAS>Give it a 7.8 because it had too much water
>>741202387>Plus the name itself, Doom, carries so much significance that throwing that away is insanity.Yeah, Doom is important. But ID Software isn't, they made Rage and no one gives a fuck about it. Zenimax can easily kill this studio and give the IP to someone else.
>>741202441A shield could honestly be a neat mechanic in DOOM to lower the skill floor for casuals and raise the ceiling for vets through perfect blocking but they fumbled it so hard by making it slow and lame.
>>741202441>The DLCs were OKTAG2 was a complete downgrade across the board and was a sign that they were losing their touch.
>>741200415Hiring freezes wouldn't warrant removing them from the filter dropdown. A single select option doesn't affect website performance at all so they could've just left it there but they chose to remove it instead which is definietly suspicious.
>>741202487They were right.
>>741202529Literally the entire history of the franchise, defense and parry were never a thing. You are supposed to be get hit, that's the point. This shield thingy is more appropriate for something like Shadow Warrior or Ghost Runner.
>people are actually preying on the downfall of Idabsolutely derangedliterally one of the last few western developers that consistently creates good games that are well optimizedbut their newest simon says simulator didn't use the exact mechanics you wanted so you want the studio to shut down? baby tantrum behavior
>>741202042You are on the right track but ultimately ignorant of the big picture.>men like violent games>women like non-violent games>studios making violent games try to appeal to women>men drop out>women dont care because violent>studios shut downI don't doubt the statistic that 50% of gamers are women. But 50% of Gears of War, Halo, CoD, etc, gamers aren't women, it's men, from little boys to grandpas.There are exceptions like Skyrim hit quite hard with female gamers, maybe The Witcher 3 did too, but even for those, it's nowhere near the 50% mark.
>>741190718I still have zero desire to play Dark Ages despite loving 2016 and Eternal.
>>741193981post hand
>>741194343pyrrhic loss
>>741202678why? it's pretty goodnot as good as 2016 and eternal, but by far the best shooter of this console generation
>>741192305Dark ages is cool, the ideas are cool.The execution was only 80% of the way there imo.Which aint good, cuz eternal and 2016 were 100%.
>>741202624>that are well optimizedFirst of all making "well optimized games" is NOT differentiator when looking at the industry as a whole. It's shouldn't even be considered when discussing companies at all. If every game you make is dogshit is well optimized games really going to be the thing that bumps it up a notch from a waste of money to a great company? Also id was notorious for years for making horrifically optimized games. Only recently hit their stride with the updated idtech
>>741202624Do they pay you per hour or per post.Or per reply.
>>741202739A game being only good instead of very good means it is actually completely worthless dogshit.The real problem is how long game development takes now due to graphicsslop so any game being less successful than the last just isn't sustainable.
>>741202760or maybe i just want a developer that doesn't make UE5slop to survive? you're cheering for a future in which publishers only approve cost efficient projects and that's only UE5 games because they can outsource work to pajeet mercenaries
They should've remade Hexen instead. Lots of stuff to explore there without the cultural weight of Doom to deal with.
>>741202624No one is praying for ID to get shutdown, it is the modern sentiment of the hobby to never get atatched to a specific company just because they make good games in the past. We are way passed the point when game devs were talented people with a big vision but a limited budget.
>>741202803>A game being only good instead of very good means it is actually completely worthless dogshit.not him but reread what you just wrote and have a good long think about it
>>741202821No more remakes, just make a sequel.Which is also bad but not as bad as a remake.
>>741202821nice cock Leon
>>741202487>Game had too much waterYes
>>741202551Are there other studios with no jobs that have a drop down option?
>>741202848You might be genuinely retarded
>>741202624Id is not a holy cow to be worshipped so it can be slaughtered, cut to pieces and sold.
Don't you all get tired of arguing all day about pointless things?Video games is still good in some areas. Grasp that and let go of everything else.
>>741202624I dont want them to shut down but their last game was dogshit and if that's the direction they want to move in they will be shut down regardless of what I want.
>>741202957if you think not being very good automatically equates to worthless dogshit, then your brain is worthless dogshit
>>741203023>but their last game was dogshitDoes /v/ really think that Dark Ages was dogshit? And by dogshit I mean actually dogshit, not "good but not good in a specific way I wanted so I hate it"? I played it and while I don't like it as much as Eternal, I still thought it was 8/10.
>>741203030Wow it's almost like my post is making fun of people who are saying the game is bad.
>>741193858You retards are so clueless it's painful. Literally no one in this picture ever called shots, they are just monkeys. Tameem who actually created Donte (and not by himself, he was pushed into it be Capcom) is chilling on yachts snorting coke after selling Ninja Theory to Microsoft.
>>741193718>Anita showed us how to make a worse game than the original!Yeah, everyone noticed
>>741203081Dogshit as in "I would not play this game if I got it for free".
>>741203217>Made a ragebait podcast>Took donations to fund said podcast>Shut it down and spent the moneyHow did she get away with it?
>>741203081It's dogshit in the same way diablo or any shallow blizzard game is, it's mcdonalds trash for people who want easy dopamine. Objectively these aren't the worst games ever made but based on their levels of funding and acess to talent they are underperforming.
>>741194343>The EA specialThey probably only bought them to force them into the CoD mines and to get rid of potential competition
>>741203303This somehow looks even more cartoony than Doom 1 and 2
>>741203303This is the only enemy projectile I thought was way too arcadey and immersion breaking. That, and the dragonflight parts. But that's a fairly small part of the game.
>>741203330>it's mcdonalds trash for people who want easy dopamine. >BlizzardYeah the easy dopamine Diablo 2 where you walk for 30 minutes with nothing happens.
>>741203303dozens of depressed late 20s to late 30s sat down and played this shit on the gamepass for an hour before going to bed for workso fucking sad
>>741203303How did nobody in a descision making role look at this shit and think "man our game looks lame as fuck"
>>741203303So gay
>>741203330>it's mcdonalds trash for people who want easy dopamineSo was Eternal then.
>>741203432Are you being intentionally retarded? How fucking long ago did blizzard make diablo 2. Why the fuck would I be talking about a blizzard that no longer exists and not diablo 3 and 4 which is what blizzard actually is right now.
>>741193718>enjoyed by more peopleAnd in the end Psychonauts 2 ended up being enjoyed by less people because it fucking BOMBED. Bet that bitch laughed all the way to the bank when you payed her that six figure consultant fee to basically tell you "Her tits are too big get rid of them".
>>741191740Now that you have "succeeded" can you go be successful somewhere else as well? Maybe go do the same thing to banks, god knows we need those to fail as well and in the meantime maybe people can get to enjoy video games again while you bitch and shit yourself about something else. I am pissed off because retards like this smug pepe poster are everywhere in every domain where they smugly proclaim victory over destroying things but they never remain in the space enough time to actually help the space they destroy because they "already did their part". Bunch of stupid monkeys, no better than "fans" on stadiums after the match end and they start chimping out in public
>>741194179Usually with countries that have shit currencies with a weak exchange rate, at least base essentials are comparatively cheap. Like in the US we dont balk at something like 8$ for a breakfast sandwich but in somewhere like indonesia or south america we would more likely be paying something like 2$ for an identical sandwich, but at the same time that 2$ is also their hourly wage. Argentina is absolutely fucked because their currency is weak AND everything is crazy expensive, so what would be a 2$ water bottle for us is actually like 30$ for them.
>>741203525Yeah, I didn't like Eternal much either. Doom the dark ages is everything I disliked in Eternal cranked to 11. This is a monster hunter situation where I fucking hated world and everyone else loved it, they carried on down the same path and then everyone suddenly shares my disdain.
>>741193980You sure? That's being made by a different team at the studio. Fable has strong red flags at it possibly turning players off from buying their game. If it does, that team is being layoff and only the Forza Horizon team will remain.
>>741203607Skill issue unironically
>>741203584I am. I have fifty thousand dollars and no credit score. I have never taken a loan.
id software literally invented FPS games and the nuDoom games are arguably the only recent FPS trilogy in which every game was goodthey also have an insanely optimized custom engineshutting them down would be absolute insanitynow Ninja theory? all they've been releasing for the past decade are flops. Quantic Dream? their last succesful game was in 2018, and their latest release had 800 concurrent players before shutting down. those are much more likely to close down
>>741203446Welcome to modern art direction. We only accept the lame here.
>>741203584It's a method of coping with everything falling apart. It's like the super negative retard on your sports team who starts sabotaging the game when you're losing.
>>741203640Eternal wasn't hard, it was stupid and lame, they then jumped the shark and transformed into a mobile game
>>741203648It went completely over your head but i didn't expect any better. >>741203669It is what it is i guess. I wasn't expecting anything better,i just hope they find something else to shit on soon. Maybe the ole discord server will redirect them somewhere else.
>>741203724Sounds exactly what someone who got filtered would say
>>741203303>3 orbs>only green ones can be reflected because they is green, and red ones can't be reflected because they is red>only 1 is reflected>doesn't collide with incoming orbs>the other 2 are sucked out of existancehe put the other 2 inside the anal cavity?
>>741203432>surely he was talking about this 25-year-old gameKill yousrelf.
>>741203750You sound like a fat retard telling a skinny person he was filtered by mcdonalds. I guess you're right in a sense but not for the reason you think.
>>741200694They also used to make 5 games in the same span of time with a fraction of the financial investment.
>>741203724Can you imagine putting this specific enemy in game, that no one likes or askes for more of them and then proceeding to make an entire prequel game that forces you to roleplay as one.
>>741203894>Only thing americans can think about is junk foodYeah that sounds about right
>>741203081Dark Ages was my favorite of the three nuDooms when you tune the settings correctly, but it had faults and I can see why people who loved Eternal ended up feeling bitter about Dark Ages.
>>741204023Next Doom game should feature a party made of a healer, a wizard and a thief with Doomguy as the warrior/party leader. Call it Heroes of Doom and Magic or something, we already had cyborg angels and alien demons.
>>741202387Doom has gone dormant before and probably will again after the DLC comes out. The IP can be made by another team even if ID goes away.
>>741202124>anything not full capitalist is full communist coal mineOkay buddy, let's just not encourage trillion dollar companies buying everything up and then try to squeeze everything dry
>>741192004almost none of these people look like they played and enjoyed the original doom, half of them should be boomers/gen X
>>741194390>>741192004i wanna see the publisher and marketing team who actually decide what the game is going to be
>>741192305So they made him a 40k space marine.
>>741203651>company did some good things 30 years ago so we should forgive its failures and keep it around foreverSame reason Blizzard and Bioware can't disappear despite constant failures to deliver the same quality that made them popular in the first place. This industry is a fucking joke.
>>741192004>Where are the green haired DEI hires?are you retarded? their publisher, which decide what games they are making is literally the pride flag meme
>>741193718WHY does PSYCHONAUTS need advice from Anita? Wtf am I reading?
>>741192004>Where are the green haired DEI hires?
>>741204457>company did some good things 30 years ago so we should forgive its failureswhat failures? in the last decade they've released 3 AAA games, one of which sold medicore and two of which sold greathow is that constant failure?
>>741204504>>741204605Lmao having to find bits and pieces because your narrative didn't follow through is crazy. You can just take this L my dude...its fine. There are plenty of shitty studios who do have danger hairs.
>>741204605I member when they tweeted this the day Kirk was murdered.
>>741204670bits? it's their publisher, you're so mad you got cooked kek

>>741204670which flag is yours?
>>741204647Failure to make games as good as the ones they've made before. They're just using the well known brand to sell slop now. This behavior should not be rewarded.
>>741204923The Videogames one. I'm sorry but i won't back down because your retarded group is screeching that they are in power right now. They said DEI and danger hairs, there is none in that image so the retards go down the ladder until they find the smallest find just to justify their crusade. I didn't like the latest Doom game but i am not here celebrating more studios closing because i actually care about games. I'm playing Stellar Blade right now... got some indies to go through. Life is actually good for games enjoyers. I know what you are and you can't get every person to shut up just because you are a lazy doomer who posts every few minutes about how there are no games no play anymore.
