Gameplayer has an article up that looks at the shocking games that have turned up under the umbrella of otherwise successful franchises. Covering the whole history of gaming, there is a mix of obvious contenders and controversial inclusions.
"As E.T. creams all comers for massacred film licences, we're leaving the myriad other poorly adapted flicks of the past 25 years alone whilst we dabble our toes in the worrying waters of mistreated IPs…"
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
They mentioned mario kart 64. Mario Kart 64 was one of the most fun games of that generation, and easily better than the original. I think they meant to say double dash maybe?
They should have added Mortal Kombat Special Forces and Street Fighter the movie the game.
They put Mario Kart 64 on there, but not Street Fighter EX PLUS?
Yeah, I won't be going to that site ever again.
Haha, Mario Kart 64 eh? I guess I'm a fool for playing it so much back then.
I agree with Donkey Kong, every single game after the SNES sucked real bad.
