The biggest game of the year has finally arrived. The latest chapter in the Modern Warfare saga may well be short on revolutionary new concepts and never-seen-before technology, but what Infinity Ward and co-developers Sledgehammer and Raven have delivered is a supremely enjoyable, highly polished package that offers a ton of value across its principle single-player, Spec Ops and multiplayer components.
While the Call of Duty games have enjoyed mammoth levels of success across both console platforms, the game has arguably found its home on Xbox 360. Putting aside DLC exclusive windows and a perceivably higher level of multiplayer performance, the core technology itself just seems to run better on the Microsoft architecture: every metric we've run on COD titles from Modern Warfare onwards has produced a palpably higher performance level on Xbox 360.
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."
The PS3 version is inferior to the 360 version, which is inferior to the PC version. The PS3 version lacks the Anti-Aliasing that the 360 version has, but the PC version shits all over the console versions in regards to lighting and (of course) AA.
It is no surprise considering how much work they've done optimizing the engine in every game for the 360 hardware. It's not fanboyism, it's facts. Call of Duty and XBox are synonymous with one another this generation, despite strong sales numbers on the PS3.
Now you have to ask yourself, "how much will I get worked up over Call of Duty when there are so many other better games to focus my time and efforts on?" The decision is yours.
When I see both versions being played I can't tell the difference...but that's just me. All I know is that I'm really enjoying it on PS3. Black ops on the other hand was a disgrace on PS3.
Well at least the PS3 version is not as bad as BLOPs - that one was so bad it turned me off the series - so blurry and the variable framerate made it jerk too much.
Whatever though, I'm sick of COD (and military shooters in general) so I got Gears 3 and Uncharted 3 instead.
I don't understand why they render at an oddball aspect ratio. They should be rendering it in a native 16:9 aspect ratio like 1040x585, 1056x594, or 1072x603 for better scaling.
