It may have some rough language...you have been warned!!!
My review on Turok
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
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.
Let me just say I too played Turok back in the day on N64 I believe it was, and I liked it, didn't love it.
But to me this was a game that was so easy to get right, that it is amazing that the developers messed this thing up. To me this game is Gears Of War On Crack, that's all they had to do.
That huge boss you fight in Gears on the PC version with the huge guns on his arms, that's all Turok had to be. Big dinosaurs the size of that monster in Gears that you fight. Period. Add Cool guns (huge Plasma Cannon) and Great story. Done.
What is Hard here? I remember when Acclaim was making the game. I wrote a very detail report of exactly how the game should be. Did they follow it, of Course not. Why they even asked, I have no idea.
Then Acclaim went Bankrupt and this company bought the rights to Turok. And made what looks to be a god awful piss in your pants version of what Turok should be. I didn't even download the demo because the game play just looks like something I wouldn't play for more then 2 seconds.
It just kills me that all they had to do was pick up the Unreal Game engine, follow the Gears Of War format, and add dinosaurs instead of aliens and you have a huge hit on your hands. What is hard here?
We just want to play something that's fun to play and looks Amazing. And Turok is neither.
Is it really this hard for gaming companies to understand Gaming.
