Square Enix's fifteenth entry in the Final Fantasy series for PC, PS4, and Xbox One has seen big changes over the years, and the developers still see plenty of room for growth.
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
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
TNS - NCSoft CEO admitted that AI is rapidly becoming a core part of game development, but he added that it cannot replace what makes games fun.
To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.
Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.
It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
They did the same with FF13 btw I think they should forget about FF15 now and start work on FF16 or concentrate on the FF7 remake
If we cut away the bullshit it's because...
1) The main game was unfinished story wise
2) Lack of character development
3) Story was all over the place and you could see where they cut out the old Nomura story which they then turned into a film. In the end everything seemed rushed, slapped together or didn't connect well. For example Promptos "reveal" at the end of the game when they had to unlock the door. Where the f*** did that come from...oh yeah it was part of Nomuras story they cut out.
4) Splitting the remaining development of characters and the lore to an Anime short series and a animated film.
5) Money, Money and more Money
I love FFXV
What I don't understand is why release the royal edition if there are more episodes coming out? If they have enough content for another game, why not make it a part 2 ?
I honestly don't care for that episodic stuff, I play other games, so to have to re-plunge into that universe and remember the controls and the what nots can be daunting. Maybe it's just me.
This is coming from someone who truly enjoyed playing Final Fantasy and was fully invested in the story and the gameplay. I have hundreds of hours in that game including DLC's.
What a colossal pile of overrated trash this is.
This is one of those cases where it's going to take a decade for people who claim to like it, to look back and finally see clearly, at just how s*** this thing actually was.
