"We recently had a chance to speak to Interactive Data Visualization, Inc. (IDV) Director of Business Development Kevin Meredith. IDV is responsible for creating SpeedTree, a suite for generating virtual foliage and vegetation that has been used in big-name games and movies alike (seriously, Avatar and Iron Man 3 are no small achievements). Of course, SpeedTree will play an important part, especially when it comes to the next generation of game development. Just what can we expect?"
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.
All available May 5.
Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-
I think the only game here for me is Nine Sols. Was always interested in that game.
Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
So cloud computing is on everyone's backburner.... So much for the "power of the cloud." Apparently it helps trees....
Either way good article about foliage. Didn't know a company existed solely for the realistic endeavors of plants.
Until this M$ cloud materializes into something more tangible its all just hot air!
Why dont these people get it, you DO NOT talk about cloud computing on the internet. It does not matter if you have a bazillion number of years of experience in engineering its all a lie.
Lets be clear on this supposed Cloud Computing concept that MS is currently not talking about anymore.
What they are claiming is cloud power(using the Forza information)sounds like nothing more than auto AI updating for every time you boot up the game.
Wait isn't that the same thing my basketball game did this generation when it updated my players stats based on his real world performance, so that if his shooting percentage went up so did the game version of the player.
Yeah Forza will use this information to enhance NPCars responses but that is still done via in-game algorithms. So cloud computing is basically a pretty word for auto updating???
So show me some real cloud power MS or put the concept back in Pandoras Box and leave it alone before you become cursed by its failure
A steaming 'Cloud' of piss to float above a crap console. It was funny at first, but now I am so fed up with this cloud nonsense.
