Earlier this month Mass Effect: Andromeda finally made its gameplay debut at the PlayStation Meeting. The footage was largely met by a lukewarm reception, with one criticism being the game’s animations. Today, new information about said animations has leaked out.
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."
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
Given their recent history and how they have treated fans along with shutting their official forums down not long ago....I think most people don't care anymore. At this point I'd say most Mass Effect fans are just going to leave it at Red, Green, or Blue.
I don't think the animations looked bad at all. In fact its the opposite. They looked great.
This game has some of the worst channeling of news and updates.
Was underwhelmed by the animations from the gameplay trailer but any BioWare nut like myself was not surprised by this. The worse part of Andromeda to me is that it looked EXACTLY like Dragon Age Inquisition when it needs to look like Mass effect. What we saw doesn't even favor the look of the original Mass Effect which was sort of semi open-world.
I'm interested to see if both male and female will share animations again. From Mass Effect 1-3, FemShep would run like a gorilla due to it. I think the biggest blow to Andromeda is the announcement of remaining 30 fps on both Pro and normal Playstation 4's.
