Okay, so back in the day (when I wasn't even born), you had your good
old Sonic, nice and fast, 2-D, and not in first person at all. Then you
get a couple years later, you still have the 2-D sonic, still pretty
good, you add a couple of characters that were unnecessary, but it's
still overall a good game, and the Sonic Team is still getting the
point across that it's about fast action and fun. Then, another couple
years later, you've got the PS1, PS2, GameCube, and Xbox, so you decide
to make the WHOLE sonic series 3-D. From the start, it really wasn't
good, and die-hard fans were MORE than disappointed, and couldn't
believe what was happening. Sonic all of the sudden wasn't as fast, you
had some free-world elements, and it overall wasn't the same. Now you
have a slower Sonic, more characters than you can count, and it just
wasn't good. Is sonic ever going to go back to it's glory days of 2-D,
fast paced, fun and hard game that it once was? The up and coming sonic
looks cool, but I just don't know if anything can really re-vitalize
the series without going back to 2-D, or putting it on a flat plane (if
you know what I mean), and not have any free-world elements. What do
you guys think? Will the Sonic series ever go back to the way it was,
or will it stay, and just continue to make old fans loose interest in
it?
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.
