PS University writes "Thus far we've tackled what we thought were the Top 8 New Faces of Gaming this generation and the franchises that needed to take a break and die a little. However, now we're ready to move on to the guys who create those characters and games and pick out our Top 8 Developers This Generation thus far. Keeping with our last Top 8 list, we're going to include developers outside of Sony's umbrella of titles so that the multi-console owners have a reason to discuss this list to no end. A lot of thought went into this one and though many people will still find reason to complain and cry bias or fanboyism, we're quite content with how it lined up.
To start off, I'd like to say that we've seen some pretty amazing games this generation. In my opinion, some of the best games that the industry has ever seen have been created over the last three years and that most likely a lot of developers will build on those for the future of gaming. Thankfully, as a multi-console owner myself, I've had the chance to enjoy most of these games (if not all) and would give them all my stamp of approval."
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."
Neither Turn 10 nor Epic belong on that list. Turn 10 has proven itself to be a PR-driven company that thrives on lies and PR bullcrap instead of letting their products speak for themselves. Epic has proven that advertising and good media relations are more important than innovation or quality control, since all of their major games this gen have shipped with major bugs and problems yet the media seems to ignore it.
Burn 10 shouldn't be on that list.
You know for Sony only website, their developer list wasn't too PS3 focused.
Of course I would have placed a few other developers on the list and probably had them in a different order, based on my own gaming preferences.
@DavePSU : Of course its PS3 focused, since it is a PS3 site. It's just rare for a console-specific website to give credit to an exclusive developer for another system.
Naughty Dog
Insomniac Games
Infinity Ward
Think GoW3 devs deserve a spot.
Turn 10.. not really.
Vavle is another good dev.
Quite a few good Sony 1st n 2nd party dev teams too
