So what are our most memorable pieces of Vapourware? Well the list could go on for pages-and-pages, so I will break this up into a series of articles that will span over the next few weeks. (Annoying? Yes. Making it an easier to write? yes.)
1 – The Phantom games system – Sh*t is supposed to come out the other end.
This vapourware first made its way into the public eye in 2002. after the start of a new company, Infinium Labs, soon announced that they will be releasing a revolutionary games system (strike 1).
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."
lol...this is my new favourite article :)
"Check back on Monday for Part II… Or maybe I will hype it up so much and decide that I can no longer be bothered to release it because I am lazy…"
Thats a good line.
I remember being hyped for Starcraft Ghost...and then i just kept waiting and waiting...and i soon forgot. Im still patiently waiting though :)
The Phantom had a 120GB hard drive and was based on users purchasing their games via a download service that was like steam... Considering that this was in 2002 I think that it was too far ahead of its time.
Don't forget DarkFall !
This piece ov crap is for kids and old folks,its a last gen console being paraded as a current gen masterpiece of gaming innovation,,where as in reality its a old machine with sticks you wave about like a idiot,NINTENDO,fock off with your supposed consoles,and stick to making handhelds,your better at that,then with consoles.....peace out......
I concur... Huh?
