Umbra has revealed they will be bringing their expertise to help boost the graphics for Final Fantasy XV.
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

It's actually referring to the frame rate. Here is the press release from Umbra directly.

I remember looking up Umbra around the launch window of PS4. When they were showing all the middlewares that were working on next gen console versions of their tools. I thought it looked really cool, even though occlusion culling is something that other engines have done forever, it does it using much less resources in general and focuses on doing it to an extreme level and using a better algorithm than most, allowing for much larger and fuller open world areas with great performance. I feel more games should be using it really.
this is the real game development, improving the game graphics,animations,power balance make the FPS more and stable then announce the release date
not downgrades , animation in the real game is sluggish compared to the demo or trailer and the FPS won't get fixed until months of the game release ....
oh and they made the game story (alone) 50+H instead of 40+H not made it lower and release the rest in DLCs ...
Yeah-yeah-yeah, whatever - release the goddamn game already, please ?
You know some of us are actually interested in technology?
