One area that people widely agree has room for improvement is AI. Our artificially intelligent friends, enemies, and consorts (oh-er Bioware) really don’t seem to be much smarter than they have been for the last 10 years. But one interesting discussion point is that there is often a huge misconception about what “good AI” means.
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.
Wholeheartedly agreed (ofc).
AI has been terribly neglected. And yeah, with people obsessing so much over resolution and parity, don't expect any pressure in this department at all.
If Stephen Hawkins says that AI could kill us all then maybe we should stay focused on resolutions. 1080p never hurt anyone.
That was a good read
The first FEAR game had fantastic AI. They would all take cover as soon as you opened fire. The enemies would actively split off in different directions and try to flank you while you were firing at another enemy. They threw grenades to draw you out of cover.
FEAR's AI was just so good and I don't understand how a game that came out so long ago still has some of the best AI to date. Its like everything else has taken a step back since then.
I still think the Unreal series evolved some of the best A.I, but the progress in this department would've come sooner, if we hadn't been holding back progress in games due to a few obvious things.
