Like it or not, sequels are a staple of the video game industry. A well-done sequel can expand a successful concept, reboot a flagging franchise, fix the glaring flaws of an original game, or even revive a series years after it's been presumed dead. Here are five that did none of the above—sequels so pointless we might have been better off without them.
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."
Devil May Cry 2 was GOOOOOOD! I'm sorry. The only thing it lacked was a story. Lol. The action was beefed up, the bosses were more epic, there was a much greater variety of enemy, we got two full campaigns, and Ultimate Devil Trigger was freaking cool!
I'm sorry. It's a great game. I find myself wanting to play it constantly. No, it's not Devil May Cry 3...but how many games are as good as Devil May Cry 3? Seriously.
And can we add Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode Two to that list? Nobody wants it because nobody liked Episode One. It was terrible! Luckily, Sonic Generations plays much better. I loved the demo!
I don't get how Resident Evil 4 was so much better then 5, Really? They are both the same games. I didn't find 4 or 5 scary, they were action movies with some horror elements.
Hate how 4 gets praised when it wasn't a true Resident Evil either.

you are scum. if you had actually played resi 4 you would know it was a masterpiece. resi 5 even though it was similar in style and control was nothing like resi 4.
Whatever, I had a freakin blast with RE5 and got the platinum trophy.
CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!
