Cinematics are the best way to explain and detail a game’s plot fast and without the player’s interaction (well, in most cases anyway). Some developers prefer to use the actual game engine to render them, which means that if the engine is shitty then so will the cinematics be and they will also have an impact on the performance, while others use pre-rendered and highly detailed movies to impress us. Now let’s see who does it best.
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 agree with these, I think cinematics are ALWAYS good nowadays, it's hard to differentiate which ones are the best.
But I think The Witcher opening cinematic ( http://www.youtube.com/watc... is AMAZING. Don't forget that The Witcher was an independant project and they never knew it would have the sale success it's had.
Thanks for the tip, The Witcher had indeed some nice cinematics.
but my FAVORITE EVER would probably be the LIVE ACTION cinemas from Dark forces 2: Jedi Knight.
Seriously, DF2: JK is one of the greatest games ever and the cinimatics were AWESOME if you like star wars at all.

In terms of cinematic trailers I have to say the Deus Ex: Human Revolution E3 trailer is one that really appealed to me. http://www.youtube.com/watc...
And I also liked the style of Fallout 3's launch trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watc...
