How Blizzard must save Diablo III from World of WarCraft. Will the success of WoW's massively friendly graphics and gameplay influence Blizzard's artistic direction of Diablo III? Early screenshots of D3 remind many of World of WarCraft. It looks like Blizzard has to save its latest big franchise release from its last one.
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 d3 looks really good...and I am a big fan of d2.
Oh please, what a lame and whiney "article".
if you really really feel you have any right in the world to demand an artist to change HIS vision of something, go sign a petition. ...
the d3 style change petition is probably the all time low of the gaming community.
It's incredible how many people say the game is a failure... it isn't even out yet FFS!
Do not, never ever, judge a game from somthing you see so early on.
Besides, if it looks similar to WoW, this might give the advantage of very forgiving system requirements, which in return means more people are able to play/enjoy it. The color thing can be changed, all it needs is an additional shader at best and I'm sure someone will find a way to mod it to look darker, grittier within days after release.
I don't think they screwed up the graphics and art direction, but I wouldn't disagree with a grittier and darker tone to what I see on screen....
did everyone played D2 & D1 ? Did you love them ? Did you played it about 200-600h or more (I about 4 years Battlenet rulz ^^ ) ?
Let Diablo be Diablo and let WoW be WoW. Why they can't do normal armors like in 2 & 1 ? Megalomania ? :> Why they can't stylize it like 2,1 greys red blue green black ? Diablo have a unique theme without it, it will be next WoW :/
s*it wtf with this armor ? :> O.O
