Oh fuck, really? Damn that is very sad. What the fuck.
The mention from Phil about layoff did hit home. The fact theyāre not the only one is a sad situation to be placed in.
Elex 2 was a major flop. Released in the same timeframe when Elden Ring released. Even after that and going on sale, basically the second wave, was a flop. Game is not fun and a step down to Elex 1.

Was it a case of rough development or something because how could they fall further down with a sequel?
The game was too big and empty. Basically go bigger or go home. And they got send home lmao.

Damn, they were that stupid to drop it near ER? Brehhhhhh!
Still, itās sad. I remember Gothic 1 and 2 on PC, loving those games, I really appreciated that studio even though they kinda refused to get better.
I still find it crazy that they bought the Gothic rights back from JoWood and let it rot. PB was always a weird company.

In his defense, he didnāt have his division. Now he does, so do it or not. Time will tell for real this time.

Yeah, this stuff is exciting. It sounds very promising and weāll have to wait and see how it pans out. I mean XSX is no slouch either, but I hope the new one will not have the early issues XSX did have.
One thing sounds for certain, they are not going to Nintendo it, as in not focusing on power. And I am very happy.
Wonder if we truly could see their next gen in 2026.
The next one will supossedly use AI and a mix of native and cloud compute so who knows how that looks like.

I donāt know if I should expect some new nontraditional hardware, like when Nintendo started doing their own stuff since the Wii, or just more power, speed and all that in the console, probably with a lot of AI stuff in there.
If they really do mean what they say in terms of making the next console the biggest leap, I donāt know how they do that without things like AI or Cloud
Going the old route of hereās a bunch of teraflops can only do so much before it becomes way too expensive and itās bringing diminishing returns every gen

I expect AI Upscaling and Frame Generation at minimum.
