In case you missed it Astro Bot dev Team Asobi -- born out of the defunct Japan Studio -- just put out a banger. The game is somewhat of a departure from what we’re used to seeing from PlayStation Studios, and instantly became one of the biggest hits of 2024. It’s light-hearted and fun, and Team Asobi says it wants to keep things that way.
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.
Hope if this game sells well enough we can get a Sly or Jak game. They're the only Sony studio highly capable of bring those franchises back in a big way.
Thank god. I like Sony games but a lot of them chase that realistic fantasy feel. Sometimes I like games like these. Good for them.
Not every game needs to be ultra serious, dark, and gritty. Happy to see a non-indie studio embrace the weird, wacky, silly, and playful nature of games. They almost feel like a Nintendo first party studio, which Sony really needs in this current era more than ever.
Now make Ape Escape 4, please?
Thank you. We need both not one or the other.
It may not have hyper realism but their use of the DualSense controller makes this game feel really immersive. Most fun I’ve had in a while playing a modern game.
