Ok this press conference wasn't as boring as the EA one but not much made me look forward to the next 12 months. Anyway here's my responses to the announcements.
- Rayman Origins. Seems like fun. Also has local co op like a lot more games should.
- Driver San Francisco. I wasn't a fan and still not sold on it. Also confused on what's going on.
- Far Cry 3. Not my type of game but visually stunning in it's demo.
- Brothers In Arms: Furious 4. Another war shooter...ugh...
- A Tin Tin game based on the movie... yeah...
- Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Still not giving a crap. Guess it's either because I'm a golden age gamer or the fact that I'm Australian.
- Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon online. More fricking Tom Clancy games? I think I'm the only one sick of these... and warfare games against humans.
- Trackmania 2 Canyon. Never played it before but guess what? Still won't. It's a part of the mania planet series.
- Another Rabbids game. Raving Rabbids: Alive and Kicking for Kinect. I hate those things!
- Just Dance 3. How many dance games are there now? Seriously so many dancing games are spawning now.
- Rocksmith. A guitar game that teaches how to play guitar. Interested since I own a guitar and am learning to play. I can plug in and use my Les Paul on it too? I may buy it.
- YourShape Fitness Evolved 2012. Another fitness game... Yes I know I'm fat but I'm not going to buy a game to lose weight.
- Assassin's Creed Revelations. The bell of the ball. Ezio's final chapter. A new chapter of awesome. I am so buying it.
Well it looks like me wanting to turf away Guitar Hero is a good idea after all. Also new Assassin's Creed Revelations gameplay looks more of the same but it's more of what I like.
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.
