So, it’s pretty common knowledge by now that Capcom are developing a new Steel Battalion. But as cool as Steel Battalion was, it was certainly no MechWarrior.
As far as giant robot games go, MechWarrior was the daddy, featuring a realistic approach to the stompy engines of death genre that was missing from the MechAssault series.
This week, Chris Phillips wants to see a new MechWarrior game.
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've never touched a Mech game, but they seem like exactly the kind of crazy detail-oriented games I am into.
MechWarrior... so awesome. MS kinda ruined it when they owned the license. MW4 sucked compared to MW3 and MW2. Mech Commander was similarly awesome... then MS bought it, made Mech Commander 2 (and those Mech Assault games.. which were okay, but not MechWarrior). Junk.
Thankfully MS sold off the license to a company called Smith & Tinker, which is actually a company founded by some of the founders of FASA, iirc, who created the MW tabletop game to begin with.
They supposedly have a new game in development...
I'd put money on its being awesome.. if they manage to finish it.
I hope that the next MechWarrior installment is awesome. I loved the games and the toys as a kid.
Maybe Steel Battalion for the Kinect will fill that hole.
Mech Warrior. *drool*
Until then, there's always this
