Hope Guerilla is dropping em soon.. It’s just unreal level of performance right now…..to get a taste:- Average of shutter less 50fps@Native 4k with RT. If all games implement this level of VRR compatibility then performance & Fidelity will never have to be a choice. I’m sure HorizonFW,Returnal & Even GoW~R will do something magical.

This is apparently the company behind "Nordic Games", aka the one studio that bought old THQ assets and games like dark siders never knew they so rich.

Also remember MS paid $100M for 1 year exclusivity of one Tomb Raider game, and Embracer got the whole shebang for $300M 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After TR 2013 Reboot, interest was at an all time high for TR. Unfortunately, SOTR killed majority of hype for TR Reboot franchises, SE was unsatisfied with Deus EX after Mankind Divided, Last Thief game flopped and Legacy of Kain is dead. In short, SE seems to not know how to use it's Western Studios, hence the small price. It's for the best. This gives SE the chance to focus on it's Japanese Games - which is it's core strength and get the quality back up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnackChap Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 300 million for 3 studios and the IP's is a crazy deal. 32 minutes ago, PhantomShade said: This is apparently the company behind "Nordic Games", aka the one studio that bought old THQ assets and games like dark siders never knew they so rich. They have like 75+ studios but no games. Spencer is the perfect candidate to be their next ceo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, tested Quality mode and it's great. No noticeable issues. Ultra performance is a bit of an overkill coz it drops to 1080p. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer is the perfect candidate to be their next ceo. They have alot of games... Mostly AA, Indies and such and some AAA. If you consider only AAA movie-ish blockblaster to be counted as "games" then yes, they have no games. Thankfully, gamers are more broader than that when it comes to games. Thus Embracer Group is quite a profitable holder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M$ is unlucky as f**k in gaming. Crystal Dynamics along with Tomb Raider IP alone must have been worth much more than $300m. Sadly as soon as it went exclusive to Xbox it was the downhill trend for the entire SquareEnix western division let alone TR & CD. Square Enix is affectively making only PS exclusives now. PS lucky Xbox unlucky for studios & IPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they make a new DX and just not sit on the IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
