I love video games.... that is all.
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.
Character themes are just as important in games as they are in cinema. They speak to the importance of a situation as well as when and how one character is involved.
Fighting games have a big history of connecting with players and their characters. A game like Street Fighter, which pulls characters from a wide range of locales, has some of the most notable as well as easier to associate due to this fact. Thinking about it now, it's hard for me to associate many notable themes with characters in other fighting games. I recall a few themes from Samurai Showdown, but it's hard for me to associate one specific theme with a single character.
It's a good topic you bring up. Thank you.
If you muted the TV when you played on Vega's stage in SF2 he was so much easier to beat lol.
The music was so face paced and energetic it would affect the way you play. You would get nervous and go in all guns blazing then... You lose!
Street Fighter 2
Tekken Tag Tournament (arcade)
Tekken 3 (both arcade and ps1)
I have those soundtracks, I can listen to them forever and never get tired of hearing it
