Epic Games VP of engineering Nick Penwarden and other developers discuss about the future of Unreal Engine 5 and how it will transform the next-gen game development.
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.
«It’s so impactful that we’ve rewritten our core I/O subsystems for Unreal Engine with the PlayStation 5 in mind.» Thats excelent for 3rd party and also for Bend studio for Days Gone 2!
I'm looking forward to these SSDs eliminating Unreal's age old bug bears - texture pop-in and long loading. I do love when UE is utilized expertly such as in Gears or FFVIIR (even Lost Odyssey from the x360 days) because it produces some stunning results. There's just usually an asterisk there with one of/both of the issues mentioned above.
Give me FFVIIR level graphics with no texture pop-in or muddy textures and actual 3d backdrops instead of low-res images at proper 4K and that would be enough to get me to drool.
I think a lot 3rd parties, Indies and even 1st party developers, will love the improvements UE5 gives over UE4.
And VR. Man! VR is going to be insane. Using UE5 or any updated or new, to the metal game engine. Scary to even think about it.
I hope it does too.
