Nvidia: First real DirectX 11 games in 6-12 months, even more console ports expected.
Worse and not impossible is the assumption of Nvidia's Tony Tamassi and Ashu Rege that upcoming titles will initially still be based on DirectX 9 since games are primarily developed for consoles. . .
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."
I think it's unquestionably true. It's just less risky to produce a game on lesser tech and maybe make piles of cash than to use the latest and (pessimistically) maybe break even.
I think it's also pretty cool in most cases. The PC version of these games will usually run and/or look better anyway. Also, you eventually get more mileage out of of your purchase since you aren't "upgrading every few months" to take advantage of the latest greatest.
But you have to remember that a console is nothing more than a cheap supped-up pc. It's convenience. Just plug the game in and play, not worrying about what kind of graphics card,processor or ram you have.
Duh...
Start of each new gen of consoles life's PC's tend to gain - the standard is quite high, and with the res/effects bonuses available in PC versions, pushes even top end PC's fairly hard. As the consoles age, though, the opposite happens - PC's are more and more capable but consoles, being the bigger market, are kept as the baseline target and PC games - but for just some minor polish - stagnate versus their newer potential.
Yeah sure, Uncharted 2 says Hi
