Bethesda has been on a downward trend for years, will they be able to turn things around with The Elder Scrolls VI?
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.
Maybe, but most likely it will be janky with last gen graphics. Bethesda was a gen behind last gen, so expect it to be similar this gen and I am almost sure TEDS VI will have a live service component.
They have been streamlining and simplifying since 3. TO me teh franchise died at Skyrim. Oblivion and Morrowind were great tho. Don't expect anything from Bethesda at this point.
If they included online in ANY form, even co op rather then giving it a well deserved make over with technical improvements then they’ll be dead to me.
Seems unlikely, like im sure it'll be big and full of quests but their games have gotten more and more shallow and simplified to the point where its a bit of a streatch to call them RPGs anymore. Also everyone else has been stepping up their game on map design while Bethesda has still been using basic low res hight maps and cliffs made of a bunch of stacked generic rock assets thrown against a steep wall, overall they just look outdated in design. Top that with their current nosedive into horrid levels of monetization and broken games and i wouldn't bet a penny on them making ES6 any good.
Complete and total scrapping of their current engine. Gamebryo and its variants and upgrades must die. Go Guerrilla and create a shiny new engine. None of these tinny looking and rickety feeling worlds with crappy visuals.
I don't think new hardware will be good enough alone; I think they need an all new engine with all new tools.
