Take-Two announced its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year alongside an update on sales for Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2.
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.
And still cant provide a 60 FPS patch for RDR2 on PS5 and XSeX nor give us a proper RDR1 remaster just some shitty port, oh and still at 30 FPS........Jesus Christ, what the hell happened to Rockstar???
All that mf cash still no bully 2, no proper remasters of GTA 4 or red dead 2 60fps patch, no proper red dead 1 remaster/remake, I been thinking if gta 6 will even feel like a gta title, get ready for them to abandon the new titles story mode and go full online bs, multiplayer not the reason why its one of OG rockstars best franchises, this right here shows them higher ups been pocketing that cash cause they only had one game last gen and no games this gen smh all that mf money smh long gone are the days of the original rockstar
Rockstar, to think of all the incredible games you’ve made from the PS2 days to the PS3, how special those times were! Some of my friends never had played a R* game “Shockingly” lol, so when I was given an opportunity to introduce for example RDR to a few of them that was a real treat.
Dang, you know, you have RDR2, one of R* best games to date (my personal favorite of theirs) which R* just drops the online as if it’s the ugly step child, ignorant jerks, and wont offer the PS5/XSX players a next gen patch option to play the game at 60 fps, I just don’t get them.
I expect R* to be that company that’ll only release 1 game per console generation, which is a shame, knowing their remarkable talent, all those people and the budgets they’re able to have, so much more could be done.
I don’t expect GTA6 to disappoint from the single player perspective. I have faith it’ll be awesome and set new benchmarks for the industry (it better for all the time and money being invested in it 😂) but for real, the studio has lost their way.
GTA has been in 3 generations. The 10 year anniversary is coming up in September. I'm sure plenty of people have triple-dipped this game.
Insane to think GTA V was originally released in the ps3 era and they still milking it.
