Developed by Konami and helmed by Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid represents that fusion of gameplay and cinema in a heretofore unaccomplished fashion.
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

I see this as purely a age and preference thing but for many, including myself, I can see where the author is coming from. I was young (31 now) and this was one of those sort of next-gen experiences at the time that really showed what was possible in games.
Attention to detail for a PS1 game was amazing as well.
Well, Symphony of the Night came out the year before.
But Metal Gear Solid is still a masterpiece.
Feel Half-Life did it better, had no cut-scenes and everything was told through Gordon's eyes. So many memories with that game.
FIRST masterpiece?
No, not even close.
I got it on release day. It was good, no denying, but there were a million great games already out WAY before this.
