Embracer Group has announced the Embracer Games Archive, which a new web page describes as wanting to “preserve and tribute the games culture for a long period of time.”
A new page on Embracer Group’s website has detailed the company’s new effort in preserving a wide range of games. Heading up the initiative of the archive is David Boström, who is taking on the role of CEO at the company. “Imagine a place where all physical video games, consoles and accessories are gathered at the same place,” writes Boström. “And think about how much that could mean for games’ culture and enabling video games research.”
The archive is located in Karlstad, Sweden, and even though it’s still at an early stage, the archive currently has 50,000 games, consoles, a…
Mario Gotze could remain a bit-part player at Bayern Munich if he wishes to be a part of the squad under Carlo Ancelotti, club CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has warned.
Gotze committed his immediate future to Bayern this week, in the face of intense speculation that Jurgen Klopp is hoping to reunite with the former Borussia Dortmund star at Liverpool.
The Germany playmaker has linked up with his international team-mates as the World Cup champions look to repeat the trick at Euro 2016.
However, Gotze, who made just 14 Bundesliga appearances under Pep Guardiola in an injury-hit 2015-16, may wish to rethink his stance at club level when the tournament is over, with Ancelotti not appearing to view him as a key player.
I had talks with him and Ancelotti, Rummen…
Chelsea defender John Terry is certain Jose Mourinho will be a success at Manchester United.
Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea halfway through the 2015-16 campaign following a dreadful start to the defence of their Premier League title, but was appointed as Louis van Gaal s successor at Old Trafford last week.
Terry worked under Mourinho during his two spells at Stamford Bridge and he has confidence that his former boss will lead United back to the top.
Mourinho s appointment is fantastic news for Manchester United, Terry told Sky Sports.
It was unfortunate the way it ended at Chelsea this year but I wish him well because he s also a great man. He ll be great for Manchester United, I m sure.
I m sure that United s fans and players will be deligh…
Paris Saint-Germain retained the Ligue 1 title on Wednesday following Monaco s 1-1 draw with Guingamp before slumping to a rare home defeat.
Monaco needed all maximum points to keep the title race alive ahead of PSG s encounter with Rennes later in the day, but Claudio Ranieri s men were frustratingly held by a determined Guingamp side, who earned a share of the spoils late on.
The principality club looked to be on their way to victory when Dimitar Berbatov headed home Nabil Dirar s right-wing cross after 77 minutes.
But Ranieri s team were stunned just eight minutes later as the Coupe de France winners levelled, Fatih Atik finding the net from just inside the area with a fine volley past Danijel Subasic.
Monaco were given renewed hope when Mustapha Diallo was se…
Goals either side of half-time from Vincent Janssen and Georginio Wijnaldum ensured Austria rounded off their Euro 2016 preparations with a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Netherlands on Saturday.
The boisterous home fans at Vienna s Ernst-Happel-Stadion did their best to rouse Austria by creating an atmosphere that belied the fact this was only a friendly, but the hosts defensive frailties let them down.
Marcel Koller s team looked dangerous going forward, but they lacked the ruthlessness of Netherlands whose performance made further mockery of their inexplicable failure to qualify for the European Championship.
AZ striker Janssen, the Eredivisie s top scorer in 2015-16, headed the visitors in front in the ninth minute after taking advantage of some lax marking from Sebastian Prodl an…
Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has praised Nuri Sahin for taking a substantial pay cut to return to the club on loan.
The Turkey international left the Bundesliga giants in 2011 for Real Madrid but was unable to break into the first team and was loaned out to Liverpool last year.
Sahin also failed to find his feet at Anfield, and a move back to Signal Iduna Park was possible thanks to interest from all those involved.
I think we re all aware that the salary structure here is different from Real Madrid s, Zorc told the Bundesliga website.
However, Nuri accepted what we offered as for him it was all about wearing Borussia Dortmund s shirt again. There wouldn t have been a chance to sign him otherwise.
Zorc has refuted claims Do…
