The more action-oriented installment in the franchise feels like Square Enix should've left its RPG mechanics out.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
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.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
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.
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.
Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."
How about you not hold Blizzcon anymore period. You fucking POS company. I really hope Blizzard would just die.

Why?
What's in the game, works well for the game.
What they have done with what's there is brillant.
I am literally playing something that seems to be blowing my mind every step of the way!!
Like this game is goddam insane, next level shit!!
I'm literally being floored constantly, like fuck I don't even know how to describe this game.
All I know is it's my game of the year, spider man 2 and starfield ain't gonna have shit on this, neither did my 90 or so hrs with totk.
I won't say to much but I have a favourite eikon from the series and I was looking looking forward to the battle, and fuck me side ways they made it the longest most epic battle ever depicted in a video game, could've cried tears of joy.
Just go buy the game people, it's insanely good.
So many posts to try make this masterpiece look like an disaster. You trolls keep em comin.
FFXVI will sell millions and gather new fans to the franchise.
30 hours in and can't stop playing and I'm glad there is still a lot of the rpg elements in the game, I've come to love through the almost 40 years I've been playing rpgs.
Yoshi P has quickly become one of the best in the business, thanks to the revival of A Realm Reborn, and now this.
Haters gonna hate, and we love you for it ❤️
The game is Final Fantasy XVI in the year 2023 including the game being fabulous. Why some folks are going out of their way trying to discredit the game for being a Final Fantasy game (RPG) is bewildering as well as dumb. Smh.
It's just DMC. It lacks traditional rpg stuff asides equipment. Skills obviously are in many other genres. I was surprised there was no MP nor status effects. No controllable party members with their own unique abilites. No weaknesses. No strategy involved besides button mashing, get the stun bar down, button mashing.
Just an action game hidden by rpg looking stuff. QTEs....there are QTEs.....this makes me appreciate ff7 remake for actually giving us traditional rpg elements.
Bright side is that story and cutscenes are great though.
