Reviews at 11pm (in 40mins) - embargo until then

I've played it on PC, it's pretty good. Not sure how well it will play on consoles, the control scheme will make or break it.

rob-GP2087d ago

I can talk about it now :) - My review is on the site but the short of it is, it's a great game - very long with eight campaigns spanning four civilisations and time periods. Controls take a while to get used to, as there's no mouse and keyboard support and there's a lot of shortcut combinations, but once you've mastered it, it's really good.

rob-GP2088d ago

well, out tomorrow (13th)

Troyboi992087d ago

Still isnt even released yet... Smh...

rob-GP2087d ago

Really? Should be. It's the date I was given, as our reviews were embargoed until midnight this morning. Maybe EU is Thursday and it's America today (which would usually be in about three more hours or so)?

To put it simply... two steps forward, one step back.

Abriael9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

That's not how that works.

Gaming revenue is already a balance of Content and Services +/- Hardware. So it's simply one step forward. Microsoft's gaming business is growing, and has been growing pretty much forever.

darthv729h ago

...two steps forward and one step back still amounts to one step forward, does it not?

Abriael8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

@darthv72: But in this case, it's more one step forward that would be pretty large, but is held back by some weight, so it's instead a bit smaller, but it's still a sizable step forward, since hardware weighs a lot less than content and services. Your comparison would work if C&S and Hardware were equivalent.

Really depends on your goal. I was told by Microsoft that they were still pushing hardware, so I don't know what to believe.

Another win for Microsoft. The haters can use the dog door to leave.

They should drop the price of hardware permanently . Its been 5 years but have had price increases? Doesn't make since

dveio6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Hardware revenue will probably sit somewhere between 800M - 1B for the quarter.

And content & services make up around 75 - 80% of total gaming revenue. Total gaming revenue is up 5%.

While positive numbers are positive, I don't find +5% year-on-year in total revenue a great, not even a good result considering what they've been throwing into the pot since their last Q3.

I don't think they are happy with only a +5% payoff since and compared to last year's Q3, which was abysmal, despite these numbers are indicating "Positive!" at 1st glance.

Especially since in terms of revenue, hardware doesn't contribute a lot to overall revenue anymore ("only" -6% down, because there's no hardware really being sold anymore).

Well what do you know. When you release good games, good consecutive 1st party you output you actually make money.

Minus hardware of course.

I'll give credit where it's due. MS is starting to capture that old 360 energy when it comes to games and releases. It took them 14 years of having a clue but they seem to be doing it now. All will be lost if they step on rakes like they're known to do. Who knows how long it'll last.

Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....

This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
