With a company like Embracer owning that amount of IP, either they’re going to release a lot of games that are going to cover similar ground gameplay wise, or they’re going to be selective. Sensible business strategy suggests they’ll do the latter.
MS couldn't go after CD because of the Activision deal. And it's nice that you guys acknowledge your audience is mainly PlayStation. Some of the deleted tweets recently make sense now.
Time Splitters but im worried how its humor and style would hold up today, especially with how toxic the social politics are these days. hope they keep it as close to the original taste as possible
With all Power that's came with the Latest Generations Hardware.....We Need New Games / iP's and Fresh Ideas that utilise the Full Power and Features of the New Tech that's now available !! We need to Stop Re-Vamping, Re-Making and Re-Releasing old games that have been out for years, while most of them turn out to be great improvements etc. They're still stories and gameplay that have been done and beaten !! We need New Ideas and Gameplay along with Gorgeous Looking Graphics running silky smooth at a minimum 60Fps and higher.....We have the Power and Technology to have both now, so this should be the new Base Standard for all Triple-A Games moving forward imo !!
I've actually never played a Final Fantasy or any of Square's Japanese games, but have played all the recent Tomb Raiders, Deus Exes, Avengers (it's flawed but can be fun) and Guardians of the Galaxy (my GOTY last year). So long as those studios are getting treated well like they should, I'm happy.
The Deus Ex franchise alone is worth more than 3.6 billion. And Tomb Raider even more, around 7 billion. Together that's more than 10 billion but Embracer got them for only 3%, WTF??? What kind of blackmail material do they have on Square?
Embracer Group is totally on point and fully visible in the PC gaming scene - THQ Nordic (now by that name) has been pushing AA+ level acquisitions for a while now. Glad you're doing this explainer, more fans (especially of x360/ps3 era franchises now mostly dormant) should be excited by the possibility that a TON of those may come back thanks to them, and a ton more already have. Cheers for this one! Every gamer should realize the weirdness of the publishing landscape right now. We've got gorilla moves from MS, more choice refunding by Sony to their established studios, TONS of still barely active studios just swimming hoping for an acquisition (of which i'd never realize Square Enix was approaching! Tomb Raider and Deus Ex now under Embracer Group's umbrella?! wtf) and a lot of otherwise dead studios being swallowed up by multi-investor super publishers like this one. Expect more weirdness as the world economy groans back to life, even under growing conflicts between a number of nations. Strange days indeed.
People keep saying it was bought for cheap but didn't they say part of the 300 aquasition they also assumed all of squares debt. Idk how much that ended up being but could be a chunk of money people aren't including.
"No one wants to play Nintendo Switch games" Are you sure about that there's plenty of Nintendo Fans including myself that already play Breath of the Wild,Pokemon Sword and Shield,Mario Kart 8 Deluxe,Super Mario Odyssey,Astral Chain,Bayonetta 1 and 2 not to mention we are getting 3 this year,Advance Wars 1 and 2 Reboot Camp,Octopath Traveler,Triangle Strategy,LiveALive remake,Fire Emblem Three Houses,Pokemon Legends Arceus,Pokemon Scarlett and Violet,Super Smash Bros Ultimate,and Kirby and the forgotten land. There's plenty of games on Switch for people to play.
No offense to desus or kain fans but those franchises are nowhere near as big as you think, heck tomb raider isn't as big as you think, like seriously a huge portion of of all of those games sale were from bargin bin prices
So the Poll: "What would be the best selling console of the year?" Despite: - (PS5) still not being available in store shelves - news of chip shortages continuing for years - Nintendo clearly selling more than both system - despite the fact that Nintendo expect to sell 20M units VS Sony's 15M ... people still voted PS5 to be the best selling (facepalm) .... even if Nintendo cuts its outlook by 20%, it is still ahead of Sony... Or was it just the internet trolling? Nah, these Sony fans are really delusional.
Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver REMAKE is a must. We need it!!!
Maybe that's they they sold it.
Touch pressure to make it and they didn't want to, so yea hopefully it happens now.
We do need it
Why no love for the game that started the franchise: Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain? 😔
Amen brother
Im glad Im not the only one who wishes for that, coz those series is a masterpiece.
Legacy of Kain series are to gaming what Shakespeare plays are to theatre.
Embracer Group literally sounds like an organization out of Deus Ex.
They sound evil as hell
A Tenchu Remake & Parappa The Rapper 3 would be fire
timesplitters 2 was one of my most treasured memories on my ps2,, honestly cannot wait for what they have in store next
TimeSplitters Perfect Future was so much better it’s masterpiece
Maybe remake the whole trilogy
Square Enix doesn't deserve Tomb Raider or Deus Ex.
Praise that they no longer have them.
Soulreaver will looks so amazing nowadays aand if that day never comes ill die with a black hole in my heart. =(
I’d kill for a continuation of soul reaver, but I’m truly hoping for a conclusion to adams story in Deus ex.
U speak the truthhhhhhh
But than you wouldn’t be able to play it 🤦♂️
We need a new Soul Reaver or Legacy of Kain game. They would look so damn amazing this day and age, hell, I'd even take a remaster.
Us Kain fans have been anxiously waiting, will this finally be our time?
Agree with Ryan that Tales from the Borderlands was great. It's got some of the best and funniest content. Highly underrated.
With a company like Embracer owning that amount of IP, either they’re going to release a lot of games that are going to cover similar ground gameplay wise, or they’re going to be selective. Sensible business strategy suggests they’ll do the latter.
Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver blood omen let's go💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Learned something new today, didn’t know embracer was actually a thing
It's a new name for an old company. Likely you've heard of THQ.
Is everything alright with Jonathan?
can we PLEASE have a new soul reaver/legacy of kain game, we are LONG overdue !
MS couldn't go after CD because of the Activision deal. And it's nice that you guys acknowledge your audience is mainly PlayStation. Some of the deleted tweets recently make sense now.
It's pretty obvious from comments, and even the way they lean on certain topics
SOUL REAVER!!!
Loved soul reaver one of the games I’ve played
Dont leave it to the reader to interpret the sentence. Its either best or worst
Well, thank you
Kingdoms of Amalur 2 would be sweet.
Time Splitters but im worried how its humor and style would hold up today, especially with how toxic the social politics are these days. hope they keep it as close to the original taste as possible
Soul reaver?!?!?!???!?? Yessssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With all Power that's came with the Latest Generations Hardware.....We Need New Games / iP's and Fresh Ideas that utilise the Full Power and Features of the New Tech that's now available !!

They were sold for 300 million and to wipe out all of the swears debt. And we don’t know how much debt they had
The Deus Ex franchise alone is worth more than 3.6 billion.
And Tomb Raider even more, around 7 billion.
Together that's more than 10 billion but Embracer got them for only 3%, WTF???
What kind of blackmail material do they have on Square?
They're not worth it if they aren't making the money back they are putting into those producing those games.

Strange days indeed.
Maybe we will see a new Deux Ex game in the future.
Please release a remastered Soul Reaver 😔🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
A Remake would be even better!!!
Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver Remake. In Souls game tipe
we need soul reaver 😊
Cmon guys let’s go can’t wait for the Xbox Showcase! Hope you guys are there!
People keep saying it was bought for cheap but didn't they say part of the 300 aquasition they also assumed all of squares debt. Idk how much that ended up being but could be a chunk of money people aren't including.
for Square Enix NFT's hahahaha
That gigan shirt is amazing
Glad Xbox is doing well. We need competition to keep things in check.
Yahtzee Croshaw proposed the idea of a Duke game, where he has to wrestle with outdated sensibilities, 8 year ago. Cliffy B the trailblazer.
Embrecor is like Focus home interectiv.
not so much they have only five studios duh? are you dumb or what?
Yeah it seems like that deal is missing like one or two 0s
Soul Reaver!!!
Ian has to get into ridiculous semantic arguments
The switch is such a potato. Gimme more deus ex. But finish it properly. Mankind Divided ended so abruptly and felt like it had loose plot threads
WHAT They’re umbrella?!
Not surprised Nintendo Switch was last and PS5 was first no one who plays games wants a Nintendo Switch
Careful. You’re spitting facts everywhere
"No one wants to play Nintendo Switch games"
Are you sure about that there's plenty of Nintendo Fans including myself that already play Breath of the Wild,Pokemon Sword and Shield,Mario Kart 8 Deluxe,Super Mario Odyssey,Astral Chain,Bayonetta 1 and 2 not to mention we are getting 3 this year,Advance Wars 1 and 2 Reboot Camp,Octopath Traveler,Triangle Strategy,LiveALive remake,Fire Emblem Three Houses,Pokemon Legends Arceus,Pokemon Scarlett and Violet,Super Smash Bros Ultimate,and Kirby and the forgotten land.

Sure... Clearly objective 🙃
@@FTChomp9980 botw was 5 years ago homie
@@FTChomp9980 Some of these are wii u games are similar to the wii u version
Was this just a secret to IGN? Embracer has been buying studios for the past few years.
WE Cannot let another 2 years of this go on its time for the American ppl. to drag every corrupt politician out of the offic
DEUS EX perfect candidate for a next gen REMAKE, into the future we go!
Can someone in embracer plz give sleeping dogs another chance ..wake dem dogs up!
No offense to desus or kain fans but those franchises are nowhere near as big as you think, heck tomb raider isn't as big as you think, like seriously a huge portion of of all of those games sale were from bargin bin prices
MS couldnt buy them while the Actv is still going on...
Umbrella corporation implies Embracer has more than a few skeletons in their closet
If Embracer being onwed by a wealthy Swedish family then-
@@xdjrunner dude its owned by a swedish person duh???? hahaha
Oh chit mang
Nice
So the Poll: "What would be the best selling console of the year?"
Despite:
- (PS5) still not being available in store shelves
- news of chip shortages continuing for years
- Nintendo clearly selling more than both system
- despite the fact that Nintendo expect to sell 20M units VS Sony's 15M
... people still voted PS5 to be the best selling (facepalm) .... even if Nintendo cuts its outlook by 20%, it is still ahead of Sony... Or was it just the internet trolling? Nah, these Sony fans are really delusional.
Where do you get your numbers from?
Hi Ryan - you have really nice teeth.
Cliff is washed up! And all he does is chase trends and fail horribly.
🤘🏻😎👍🏻
