Every October, the nightmare comes to life in exactly the same way: Half the great games of the year come out during the three month holiday season, when gamers have the least amount of disposable income. As a result, worthwhile games get overlooked.
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."
Modern Warfare games are so boring now. Cant wait for my Sci Fi shooter fix with Halo: Reach, Dead Space, Gears Of War 3, Resistance 2, Killzone 3, etc...
Vanquish better succeed, judging from the demo the gameplay and innovation (in terms of gameplay) is better than the majority of games released this year. It's a shame Platinum games can't make a descent story - WTF is up with the acting and old Saturday morning cartoon drama. Hire a profession writer!!
I am really starting to miss the Japanese hack and slash action adventure games of the PS2 era.
DMC1
Onimusha (all of them)
Chaos Legion
DMC3
You get it...it's a genre that isn't even dead, these were popular games back then, Japan just doesn't want to make them anymore. Westerners are making them this gen and killing the genre with chain swords and other stupid stretchy weapons.
If they are going to make them, can we get a game that doesn't involve a male protagonist who looks like he could be a bouncer in some New York night club? Would a straight bladed weapon be too much to ask either?
I Played yesterday Medal of Bad Company
I liked the Vanquish demo, and I'm buying this (and Castlevania too actually)
