"The Sony E3 2016 Press Conference has took place Monday night and it brought quite a few surprises to fans. One of those surprises came towards the end of the press conference when we were all presented with an in game trailer for a brand new Spider Man game."
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.
$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?
This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
you should apply in MS PR team buddy, I think you will do a great job in my humble opinion :)
MS: "Xbox services and content without AB up 1%, with AB up 62%. Hardware down 31%. In total a loss of 350 mill."
darthv72: "Seems about right."
MS: "Excuse m ..."
darthv72: "I don't hardly play on my consoles directly."
MS:
I can tell people like you are an absolute minority..
If service is up means their fans and fanboys accepted this model and subscribed to it. The near future you will see a big decline because the service is saturated.
But that's been ms for years. When things aren't going their way they try to change the way things are said. For instance console sales are down, they stop telling how many sold instead telling us how many hours spent in halo or headshots. So it makes sense console sales down just say people are playing on more devices then previous. What they won't say is how many xbox players jumped ship to ps5.
Hardware sales are so bad that Sony and Nintendo are blowing the sales off the water with their hardware.
If Xbox are losers, others aren’t..
Xbox already tried everything with Xbox live then subscriptions went down so much that they had to find something else. Their fans subscribed then reached saturation rather quickly.
Hardware and exclusive games is where it’s at! Keep gamers excited, announce decent software and people will support you
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
Activision: "we gonna need a bigger rucksack/backpack please"
Microsoft: "why's that"
Activision: "to carry yo' weak ass'
Top brass have also wanted to start seeing returns on the 100 billion they have put into various Xbox related moves so seeing more multiplatform games is highly likely especially from abk
It's basically saying that PlayStation is the reason Xbox is afloat right now thinks to Ps5 versions of COD
There are many reasons why Spiderman being exclusive is an absolute travesty for all gamers. First off this is Spiderman, not some new game cooked up by Sony, he has been one of the most iconic and established character in the entertainment for a very long time.
My problem with Spiderman being exclusive is the amount of people who will be denied to play as him. And that's the Xbox, PC, and Nintendo community. I understand that Sony has rights to the Spiderman franchise but that doesn't give them the right to deny other communities apart from its own to experience Spiderman.
Now if you think Sony has all rights to do what they want with a renown franchise like Spiderman, then take this as an example of what could happen in the future. Xbox could just see the success of Spider-man then they would want their own superhero franchise. Let's say they make an X-men game and make it exclusive to their console. Now you have 2 of the best superhero games for 2 different platforms and a very fragmented community.
I know Sony love to have a plethora exclusive games but this is a game that doesn't belong to them but belongs to everyone. Imagine what Stan Lee would think if he knew that a Spider-man isn't available for everyone, he would absolutely want all to experience this Spiderman game. FYI I only own a PS4 and no other consoles so I'm not port begging.
No lol. It does look fantastic tho.
will most definetly be. Spiderman is going to be huge again with the MCU stuff.
As a massive Spiderman fanboy, this greatly pleases me. It's been forever since we've had an awesome Spidey game.
It seems like single games are "system sellers" a lot less often than they used to be. I doubt many people will buy PS4s just to play this one game, but I do think that the knowledge that a Spider-Man game is coming, in combination with games that are out now (like UC4 and Overwatch) and other games that are coming soon (like Battlefield 1, No Man's Sky, RE:7, and Horizon, as well as annual games like COD and NBA2K) could help push people towards upgrading to PS4 from PS3.
