Umm yeah. It's going to be on PC the same way all those other games will be on PC. Only if you own an Xbox 1.
You mean Windows 10 streaming? God, I hope not.

If this is MS published or XB exclusive, wouldn't it make more sense if this was College Football? I know the NCAA rights are shit now after the likeness ruling, but I thought there was wiggle room if deals were signed directly with the conferences or something.
The rumour had it as a PC game too. Last I checked MS were upping their support on PC, which can only be ignored if you are literally unwillingly to see the facts.
Name a game for me that would move consoles that MS has allowed on PC. You are not getting Halo on PC, you are not getting Gears on PC, and you are definitely not getting the football title that would help Xbox 1 at least win NA.
That's what this is about. They've lost everywhere else and there is no hope of turning that around. But you show NA console gamers a football game that shows just how pathetic Maddens "improvements" have been in comparison to the rest of the industry, you win America.

Sports talk football! I liked his first game the best though.

Their goal is ultimately to generate revenue and profit by selling games.
If that were their only goal then MS would have dropped the entire Xbox division long ago. And probably will after this generation.

I really don't think they're threatened by football being on PC. Anyone who would opt to play a AAA football game along the likes of Madden on PC is someone who probably would have zero intention of playing it on console. At that point it's added sales.
You could say the same about any game. It's not true. If a game will move consoles then it isnt coming to pc. No football, no gears, no Halo. Theres a reason those other 2 games arent on PC anymore. It isnt because they wont sell.
Same as long as it has great customization tools. (And if on pc good mod tools)Well, I'm interested in playing a non madden football game....with or without licenses.
Well, that escalated quickly.
Im feeling pretty good about this game being on PC if the original rumour is correct, they've started announcing more games for PC but they aren't going to just announce everything they've already released in one move.
Also, you're getting Halo Online and seeing as the Gears thing so far is only for Gears 1, a game that is already on PC, I think you should be grateful!
I agree with you. But Gears 1 is not on pc anymore (at least not easily). Since they removed the game from windows marktplace unless you get luck and find a retail copy (amazon has it in stock, but for anyone outside of U.S that's like nothing) there's no way that you could buy and play the game now.
If that were their only goal then MS would have dropped the entire Xbox division long ago. And probably will after this generation.
This is what has caused investors to complain about the Xbox division. The money spent in that division would return far ... far more profits if they invested it into the services side of Windows instead of the xbox division.
The Xbox division is up against a wall. The xbox has finished in a very distant 2nd place that was damn near 3rd place. Xbox 360 finished squarely in 3rd place last gen. Most people know that. In fact most people seem to think the the 360 won last gen. It didnt. The xbox 360 came in last place last gen.
And where are they once again with the Xbox1? A very distant 2nd place with a new console from Nintendo right around the corner.
The only reason they are making this game is to win NA for xbox and keep the division going instead of being axed like the investors want. And the truth is the investors are right. It's their money invested in MS. Why wouldnt they want a better return on their money? Even if the Xbox were finishing in 1st place every gen there would still be more return for investors if the Xbox divisions money were spent elsewhere in the company.
Thats what the entire xbox division is up against. A console that has either finished in last place or close enough to last place that it doesnt matter. Every generation.
They are in this to save the xbox division.
I think with the Gears 1 leak whatever they do for it will have cross-play on PC with the PC original but they'll make some adjustments/fixes to it (if its not too much work), seems to be based on the PC version from the leak too
The money spent in that division would return far ... far more profits if they invested it into the services side of Windows instead of the xbox division.
For people getting their hopes up. This is MS's various statements on their promise to PC gaming.
Sorry, but all MS is doing is blowing smoke up the ass of gullible people. So yea go ahead and get your hopes up and get excited. In a year or two when none of what they say comes to fruition...I'll pretend to act shocked.
- 2005 - We care about PC gaming, Longhorn (Vista) to usher in modern PC gaming with "Tray and Play"
Vista launches with none of the stuff MS promised, Vista itself sucks the ass of a thousand camels.
- 2006 - MS: Don't Count PC Games Out
MS announces GFWL and how utterly amazing it will be, suckers everywhere rejoice in the eventual ass reaming they don't know is coming yet.
- 2007 - MS continues PC push
MS launches GFWL...and it has a $50 a year fee, and they announce a whole slew of games to include Shadowrun with cross platform play and Gears of War 1! What are you paying for you ask? Jank ass software that crashes and has the most unintuitive updating system known to man. Load a game, game says you need update. Signs you out, downloads update, you jump back in...oh GFWL client has a update too! signs you out, downloads up date and you log back in...
MS will shortly thereafter disband Ensemble because MS feels that they're (MS) moving in a different direction! But don't worry we tots <3 you PC gamers.
- 2008 - MS: PC gaming is A-okay
Yea we've looked at some money pie charts and can see that PC gaming brings in billions in revenue. Here is our open letter to how awesome PC gaming is and our promise to support it! We finally put some new titles up on GFWL! Oh and we got rid of the $50 a year fee for GFWL, see we're serious about PC gaming! If that's not a sign of commitment, I don't know what is!
- 2008 - MS: PC gaming is not dead!
Look at this event we're throwing for PC gaming, you think we'd throw this if we didn't truly care about it?! Look at these games that will be on GFWL. We <3 PC gaming. You want fixes for GFWL issues? We'll look into that.
- 2008 - MS bolsters PC gaming with all new Games for Windows Live!
Hey gaiz remember those GFWL client issues you were having...well we didn't fix those per say but....here is the same shit in a slightly newer skin! PROGRESS
- 2009 - MS: PC gaming still a priority for us!
Okay gaiz look, this time we're serious about our upcoming push in PC gaming. It's so vital to us at MS that we give the PC our love and support!
- 2010 - MS: "We're doubling down on PC gaming
By doubling down we mean we're keeping this shittastic GFWL client around because! We might even throw an update at it to fix the problem of game saves being randomly deleted or rendered worthless...maybe.
- 2010 - MS Launches Games for Windows Marketplace
Hey gaiz, we're making GFWL even better because it's now called Games for Windows Marketplace. Everything is brand new and easy to use, anonymous journalists have even said it's better than Steam. We had 3 interns and a janitor work on this, so you know we're committed!
- 2010 - MS: Windows 8 is going to relaunch gaming!
Hey gaiz, MS again. With Windows 8 we're totally going to put our full weight behind PC gaming just like we promised back in 2006! Pls be excite.
- 2012 - MS: We won't ditch GFWL!
We're committed to PC gaming and we absolutely think GFWL is the best play to get PC games and play with others. Our client is awesome....ly bloated and deletes shit randomly, but that's really one of the charms of PC gaming that we captured! It's a balanced experience! Hope you rike!
- 2013 - MS to discontinue GFWL
Hey gaiz new manager here, so like a bunch of your games might stop working come 2014...but that's okay! We expect there to be transitions as we build out new investments, but we remain committed to bringing first party gaming services and games to Windows for years to come. We will share more details in the future!
- 2013 - MS promises core first party games coming to PC
We're so committed we swear!
Unfortunately I dont have a more recent version of this. It's 2 years out of date.
Dont do this to yourselves.
What games has MS announced for PC? Not PC crossplay. But PC. Nothing that will mocve consoles and certainly not the game that will help MS win at least NA this gen. Without this football game Xbox 1 has no chance of even winning in NA.
Fable Legends and Gigantic so far, get with the times!
Also they're nabbing League of Legends as well. I don't know if it will be exclusively distributed via the store, but it's a huge get either way, being the most popular PC game of like, forever.

I don't think that's a real thing, is it?
On topic, I could totally see this coming to PC. It's not really the type of thing to keep locked up to a console in this climate. Especially with the whole Win10 synergy they're building up.

I see MS wanting to cash in on the PC user base starved of Madden since 2008 rather than thinking it will kill Xbox One sales. I think it would be good for both

If 2K is involved as the rumor says, it being on PC would be something they would push in order to help make up for the fact that it's a console exclusive.

Buzzbrad said:Don't be surprised if you see Halo and Gears on PC soon enough. With Microsoft entering the PC market with their own steam like service and if Halo and Gears were exclusive on there it would explode.
Fable Legends and Gigantic so far, get with the times!
Neither of those games will move consoles. Fable never has. That's why fable is on PC.
Wah wah wah, moving goal posts.
Fable 2/3 were huge on Xbox 360 and those are just the first two announcements along with the other load of games Microsoft have just been releasing on PC like Ori, State of Decay, Max, Kalimba, Lococycle, Fable Anniversary, Halo Spartan Assault/Spartan Strike, Rise of Nations Extended Edition, Age of Empires II HD and Age of Mythology Extended Edition.
More will come, but they aren't going to blow their load in 1 event
Not once have I not said games that will move consoles.
None of those games sell consoles.
Umm yeah. It's going to be on PC the same way all those other games will be on PC. Only if you own an Xbox 1.
The rumour suggests they bought tech and people from 2k, not necessarily they're involved in actually developing? Its been denied too I think
Ahh i see, didn't realize that they are not actually involved in any contractual deals. So I guess we're under the assumption that MS set up a new internal team for development?

Doesnt MS have a bunch of studios / teams started in recent years that are still working on unannounced stuff?
Maybe one of them are working on this. (if this whole rumour pans out)
