From gameplayer - "In 2009 there is every reason for seemingly dead and buried mythologies to rise again. The successes of downloadable content has shown that there is plenty of love out there for the games of yore, and much like films which flop on release but make a fortune on DVD, the massive growth in the pre-owned games market coupled with the quick-to-sale mentality of today's retailers means brands have a much greater chance of building a following beyond what initial sales figures may suggest.
We've looked through our back-catalogue of games and found a few worthy contenders for belated sequels or, dare we say it, re-imaginings in this new generation of gaming. Could any of these be the 'surprise' announcement of E3 2009?"
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 would pretty much welcome most of these. Some of those games are real classics.
Thing is, I wouldn't welcome a GoldenEye: Rogue Agent attempt at them: gotta hold true to the originals.
Rumour has it that the ps3 can now cook steaks medium rare, thats surprise number 51
Won't load for me
Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy)
Why: A brave attempt at reinventing the adventure game with multiple endings, branching gameplay and a mature storyline involving supernatural powers and grizzly murders in New York City. Carla Valenti would be an interesting character to revolve a sequel around.
Probability: Distant – with Heavy Rain and Omikron 2 already on their plate the developer may wait to see how they develop before exploring Fahrenheit again.
Developer: Quantic Dream.
Possible Title: Celsius.
Shadow of the Colossus
Why: Big, beautiful and different, Shadow of the Colossus was one of the late releases in the last generation that made you wonder just how much more juice the old PS2 had left in it. Certainly the game ends in a way suggesting there’s a story to continue.
Probability: Solid. Team Ico are currently working on an unknown PS3 project and this could be it, although the timing seems off. It took them four years to follow up ICO with Shadow of the Colossus, and it has only been three yeas since that release.
Developer: Team Ico.
Possible Title: Ico’s Shadow.
if this 2 games cames out i die of a heart attack
