Xbox Scarlett will allow developers to create bigger and better worlds. Microsoft is already in talks with many various development teams.
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
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
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."
NONE are bigger than Uranus
Don't think "bigger" has been the problem. The issue is making it feel dense and alive.
No thanks! Enough filler and endless/pointless traversal already. Make concise, active/reactive worlds filled with just enough meaningful stuff to do and things to see.
Bigger is not better in this case("that's what she said-ers" suck it up) quality is!
Wording is important here. Bigger worlds arent often better, Sony has stated they are looking to make more immersive and interactive worlds that are more physically dynamic. I'd rather have a world that responds to my choices (even the small ones like breaking a fence) than a world that takes me 25 minutes to run across.
A good open world game that had a smaller map but great denseness to it was Horizon. But you also cant just have a destructible environment (as seen by Crackdown 3).
I hope the worlds have more life in them. Kinda like GTA or AC: Origins/Odyssey.
Also, to go with these bigger worlds, can we please have 2 and 3 TB console options this time?? Or part of the storage be SSD and the other part be a standard HDD?
Serious questions.
