E3 2016 is right around the corner. In fact, this past week has already seen plenty of announcements before the event has even begun. Here's what the SonyCentric crew is looking forward to from Sony's E3 2016 Press Conference.
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
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."
Hard to top last year's special occasion, but this year will be impressive I'd say.
- A few game announcements from first-party devs, and some updates and demos from others.
- Knack II announced, to mixed reactions.
- Great indie segment, hopefully includes ABZÛ, WiLD, and another couple of brand new ambitious projects.
- Third-party CoD and Destiny affirmations.... as expected.
- A few significant VR pushes including a segment for the formidable Star Wars VR.
- At least one third-party megaton, which I'm guessing will be.... Devil May Cry 5.
- Red Dead Redemption 2, either at Sony's or Microsoft's conference. If "Agent" is a real thing it's looking to be announced at Sony, and if so I would bet RDD2 will not also be there, so it would go to MS.
- Then there's Crash Bandicoot. 20th Anniversary of the first game.... a big song and dance at Sony's conference should be expected after all the years of teasing. I've heard rumours of a new All-Stars game, which I suspect will include Crash. Skylanders Imaginators (featuring Crash) to replace the Disney Infinity focus.
I hope squeenix come on stage to announce Rise of The Tomb Raider for this holiday... Greeted with boos and swiftly being scurried off stage. That would make my day
