In this case, VR stands for “Very Rough”.
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
TG writes: If you’ve ever wanted that chaotic, large-scale modern warfare feeling from Battlefield but in full VR immersion, Forefront delivers it better than anything else currently available on Quest.
I'm sure they will improve it, but to show that kind of inferior, hopefully unpolished game at E3 is just plain dumb.
Judging from the gameplay trailer alone. I do agree, it does look terrible..
Looked pretty gimmicky to me. Seems like one of those things you try out just to play around with VR for a bit. i couldn't see myself trying to play the whole game like that.
Looking forward to FFXV itself though.
Until devs figure out what to do with vr or really invest in it, expect a lot of these "vr experiences" that you'll try once and never touch again unless you're showing vr to someone. The rift and vive have a ton of them. I enjoy some of them for what they are, as long as they're free.
Kinda new it was going to be a tacked on extra. They will probably improve it some. I wouldn't have bought the game just for the VR experience anyway. Resident Evil is a game you buy PSVR for, that will be great.
