Ah right. So Shinji Mikami was collaborating with Platinum Games for Vanquish and Platinum games was working with SEGA as publisher?

And isn't Vanquish also the last Platinum Games game with SEGA?


No it isn't. They signed another deal with sega because they're allowed more creative freedom which is great imo instead of your publishers hounding you down to make more fps games.

And you think Zenimax does this? If not, why is it you think this is bad news?



Very, very, awkward acquisition, I just can't imagine an American publisher, and ZeniMax out of all people, buying them.

But as long as they're granted creative freedom, I'm all for it. But still, as disolitude said, I wish Sega could've kept him around.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Before I searched them on wikipedia, I had never heard of Zenimax


This. I thought this was a TV company or something trying to step into the gaming industry.

 This Zenimax / Bethesda family have really been the dark horse of this generation. They seem to give their studios alot of freedom and time to make AAA games, never seemingly rushing Fallout 3 or RAGE, so I'd imagine they'll give Mikami a brilliant canvas to make something awesome.



Shinji Mikami game designer for Fallout 4 confirmed!



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

God no. This is bad news...


How? Have you not played Doom or Fallout 3?



good move.



I would also like to add that slavery is illegal. I hope ZeniMax suffers the consequences for their actions.
