Salaries in Poland are significantly cheaper. Also, The Witcher 2 has no motion-capped animations whatsoever- conversations play out as a bunch of present poses, which also (I imagine) significantly reduces animation cost. Furthermore, there are only a small number of tilesets in the game, given that it takes place…

But half of those aren't even Playstation characters.

Microsoft gave him $40,000,000 to make Vanguard with almost absolute creative control and he still released an unfinished, buggy, POS of a game after 5 YEARS in development.

*Those bosses are rich

It's not a proper office if it doesn't have a slide.

Release Zelda, Mariokart and SSB, then kill it.

Mainly because it will release on a system with 6 million units sold, rather than one with 80 million units.

Can't wait for Fable Anniversary.

Why does the narrator sound like a slightly more epic Microsoft Sam.

Presently EA's doing significantly better than Activision. Battlefield continues to do pretty great, the ME3 backlash is over, Battlefront 3 will sell shitloads, they've got new Mass Effect and Dragon Age on the way, the second of which looks very promising from what we've seen.

On the other hand, he did list the pos that was The Last of Us, which lowers him like 4 points.

Hardly. Digital downloads in general, which happened to take off in popularity after broadband speeds massively increased circa 2005 (around the same time as Steam started) saved PC gaming.

Skyrim sold 2m on PC, 10m on console. Their audience is on console.

It is. Just because they renamed it, doesn't mean it is different. Just like EA renamed the Frostbite 2 to the Frostbite 3, and Crytek renamed the Cryengine 3 to just the "New Cryengine", it is the SAME.

They most definitely do. They may have renamed it or retitled it or released a press release saying they've 'rebuilt the engine' or whatever, but it is absolutely, certainly, the same engine used for Oblivion back in 2006, just with a couple more bells and whistles.

These mods are certainly impressive, but the fact is that the core Gamebryo engine is just *so* outdated that I really really hope they build a new engine for their next gen games.

If you speak properly, it works every time.

The review read 90% well, then he complains that the difficulty gets too high and gives it a 'No'.

I've really enjoyed it so far, but each to their own.
