It does not, they just hired famous Gundam fanboy Karl Urban for a live-action commercial. All the in-game cutscenes are like, radio conversations. You don't even see anyone's face in the entire game, just their badge/logo.

Sounds like a cold and distancing experience, much like the robots themselves

Yeah Karl Urban just loves himself some giant robots, there's a bunch of photos of him and Viggo Mortensen looking around a Gunpla shop.


robin williams (RIP) was another famous robot enjoyer

that scene in one hour photo where he's talking to the kid playing with the toys? those're mass production evas that he brought from home

Yeah some other Volition people are straight up saying the studio's being shut down. Seems like Embracer's slow collapse is still going.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

Embracer also had EA ridiculous level sales expectations for the SR reboot as well which certainly didn't help.

At least Saints Row could do lip sync and actual facial animations, as opposed to whatever this is

All 3 points of articulation!
Eyes brows! (Up and down)
Lips! (Up and down)

Starfield definitely seems like another one of Those and I hope fans of Those have a good time with it. yup.


this sucks for the obvious reasons but I can't say I'm shocked, given the Saints Row reboot's underperformance and Embracer's recent financial troubles

Even though that one scene looks kind of bizarre, most of the other scenes of dialogue in that video actually look a lot better than I expected they would honestly

Sic Parvis Magna and all that
What's funny is that the Saints Row reboot didn't do horrible numbers or anything. It didn't light the world on fire but it had a long tail in sales so it would have been decently profitable after a while. But Embracer had to do a corporate restructuring because their deal with Saudi Arabia fell through earlier in the year and they needed to cut their losses. So due to their mistakes me and like 200 coworkers all get to lose their jobs.
