By all appearances, Intel's interest in gaming is on the rise. Not only is the CPU giant developing its own graphics technology and a founding member of the PCGA (PC Gaming Alliance), it has now acquired Project Offset. Project Offset is a game engine development team that has kept its own plans close to the vest-thus far, only Red5 Studios has licensed the Offset Engine-but the company won a great deal of praise for the gameplay trailer it released last July. Intel's decision to acquire Project Offset may be a dream come true for the company, but it raises the question of what Intel intends to do with a game engine.
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."
I think that Intel will be using the Offset engine to even take more business away from AMD. The will have an engine that will be specially designed for Intel processors.
My bet is that Intel will use "Project Offset" to showcase Larrabee.
I just hope it doesn't make the game PC exclusive. Hopefully it's still on track for 360 and looks as gorgeous as it was.
Better forget the 360 and start upgrading your PC's then guys.... : (
Should wait and see the PGA ( PC Gaming Alliance) actaully helps devs get the most performance with the least power or lowest specs possible on PC's this will help improve the quality of console games sence for the most part they use or have CORES. It's actaully good news for all.
Helping folks get high quality and taxing software on the lowest specs the software will allow is good for all platforms.
I read in the gamer zone *companies just wan't to sell more hardware* which is true in a sense that they wan't more PC to be able to run Taxing games on lower specs thus selling more harware and software so I partly agree.
Its great for console sense they're basically low/mid end PCs.
Upgrading to much better hardware isn't the main focus (PC Gaming Alliance)
its to get more people to buy software their PC will be able to run due to the advanced tech which allows great games to run on weak set-ups amoung many other things.
