AMD's Richard Huddy: "As an admitted gaming technology geek, it's hard not to get excited about the advancements in game technology. As many of you know, DirectX 11 is just around the corner, offering a dazzling array of new toys for game developers and people like me to play with. But as excited as the developer in me is about DirectX 11, I'm even more excited as a gamer, and you should be too. That's because DirectX 11, in combination with new graphics hardware, and in some cases Windows 7, brings significant changes to the computing experience, changes that mean upcoming games and other applications are about to get a lot better. Let me explain how."
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."
It was a very nice read. DirectX 11 is going to be great!
But it's hilarious how much AMD employees stroke themselves and their company. It's like hearing a new report from North Korea. Ignoring the outside world and acting like your the best thing in the world. It's hilarious.
I wonder if this will flop as much as DX10 did.
We should get excited about DirectX 11 because a whole 2 developers may use it... or not... well maybe 3 actually 1.. hmm wait
I'll get excited when a new console comes out with Dx11, 12 or 13, not when i have to buy a £1000 GFX card, then another £5000,0000 for the CPU. Oh wait! then there's the mobo and RAM, so slam another £1232,000 on top of that!
That was a lot of wrapped-in PR. =P
But DX is good, progress is excellent! PC's get updated all the time, do you guys think next gen consoles will support DX11? (Well, except for Nintendo)
