BioShock is the spiritual successor to the critically acclaimed System Shock titles. The game has no narrative ties to the previous games and doesn't share too much in common with their gameplay either, but the creepy atmosphere and thoughtful design that made the System Shock games so special are fully intact and betray BioShock's unspoken heritage.
Futuristic space-stations have been replaced by the underwater city of Rapture, a dystopian 1950s society where ambition and hubris caused the population to self-destruct. Irrational Games have streamlined the RPG and inventory systems from their previous games and rebalanced the experience with a greater focus on combat. Now as much a shooter as an adventure or RPG, BioShock gives players a host of weapons and abilities to dispatch and manipulate enemies at their discretion...
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."
"Declaring BioShock as a 2007 game of the year candidate after walking out of the non-playable demo at E3 2006 may have been a bit of a leap of faith. Not this time. After getting our hands on a nearly complete version of the game, we can say with some certainty that BioShock will be one of the best games released this year, and will likely be one of the most memorable titles released this generation. It’s unlike anything we’ve experienced in the genre to date"
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET !! Glad I got this baby preordered !!!
