Quantum Break coming to PC and Xbox simultaneously on April 5th (?)
- Thread starter Fantastapotamus
- Start date
Another reason that I don't have to buy a Xbox One. Halo Guardians is bad. The MMC is bad. Sunset Overdrive has cool, but not a reason to buy one.
Tomb Raider got released on PC, this will release on PC - MS do something to give me a reason to buy your console. I loved the 360 back then. :x

fair dues. + as another said, the holy trinity isn't on PC.

...lacks reading comprehension.
In't One still selling better than 360 at the same point in its lifecycle? My guess is they just take a good look at their games, see what's going to do great and what is not and decide then what they release on PC as well. Seeing how Alan Wake bombed hard it was not far fetched to expect the same to happen to Quantum Break. It's better to have one marketing campaign for two platforms than to do a so so launch on Xbox One followed by a so so launch on PC. I look forward to this game but I never expected it to sell more than 1 million copies worldwide.

Make it a year exclusive or I won't buy the nextbox Phil.

Yeah, but that means releasing QB on PC day 1 wasn't reactionary move to RoTTR underperforming.

They could have all the video games in the world, there's no reason to trust them anymore. GFWL was enough. In fact, they're being worse this time because at least there was GFWL games sold on Steam.

Would be cool, but I doubt it. Microsoft seems to be promoting Fable Legends as their big dx12 PC title.
Why does console exclusivity matter to you

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!

What is wrong with the Windows 10 store? Why is everyone so mad about it. I thought it had some cool advantages like playing simultaneously on several PCs and so on.

HAsn't every Remedy game come to PC at some point? I want them to get all the sales they can get

This will stop being true this year or the next.
RoTR sucks on W10 store

There is a GDC talk from Remedy about DX12 unless I am mistaken. That could be interesting.
Fable seem scompletely in the background regarding media on it. We know so little about its possible release, right?
Currently has a lot of problems with OSDs and injectors, unintuitive patching, no version control for the user, inability to downsample apparently, and a larger file size due to how localisation is controlled. At least, that is what I heard here on GAF from people who have it on Win 10 store.

Games are Universal apps. No mods, injectors, exclusive fullscreen,...
Well, they made two 2 mobile games that haven't come to PC yet.
It's not really about the Win10store, it's more about MS's history with Gwfl i think.

Well, if it's doing that great, why the Xbox One is on sale in France currently, at 165 (185$)?
I don't think that the XO is MEGA bombing, but at least it's not working as they excpected. If so, why bringing all their exclusives to PC? And now on Day One? To promote W10 yes... But if they're so much focus on W10 gaming now, it's because what they sell on Xbox One don't satisfy them.
I sold my XO last summer for some reason and wanted to buy another one for Quantum Break and Killer Instinct and also ReCore... But all those games are coming to PC... They litterally lost a sale with me, and I don't think that I'm the only one.
But anyway yeah that's great, I prefer have only 1 machine than many (well PC+WiiU to be exact).

For example:
No FPS overlays, delayed patches with less features (the latest steam patch added more graphical options and better SLI support).
For one no tools such as MSI afterburner or any overlay/injector like program works with it because it's not packaged in the exe format.

Yeh it is cool to hate on MS tho.
I think its a given that quantum break will come to PC and I will own it on both the xbone and pc.

This (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).
And also, its not surprising that xb1 exclusives are not selling as well as there ps4 counterparts as the the ps user base is double that of xb this Gen.
But I am also in agreement with dictator93 that they will be converging the two platforms pc and consoles for next gen.
Therefore, I tbink they will dubb it a gaming system vs a console and as a result it will have less strict power requirements to abide by IMO for there next "console". Thus it's not really a steam machine, or a console, but prob a powered up gaming htpc that runs Xbox OS that has some realgpu/cpu power behind it.

Maybe if you don't have a PC.
Console exclusive is fine and dandy, but it's far weaker than a full exclusive.
GhostTrick

Only people on boards care. People will still buy it on a console because it's a reason of form factor. You know what is stronger than exclusives ? Form factor and ecosystems.

At least we had some Fable dx12 preview benchmarks. And there were also dx12 talks about RotT before release...
Exactly, and since MS conventiently owns the default gaming OS and have a store that's integrated in the OS (so no cut to pay to anyone) they have the most to gain for a presence on PC.
Nevermind the potential unification of Windows with Xbox eventually.

MS needs to get on top of this cross buy thing, I would really like that

Because some people prefer the ease of use of the Xbox over a PC and I can see fair point in that, me owning both. I have plenty games on both PC and Xbox because 1) I'm a graphics whore, and 2) the majority of my gaming buddies are on Xbox.
It's easier to set up party chat and join games on the Xbox, you don't have to worry about hardware compatibility, Whether or not the game will run for you or not etc etc. Choice is never a bad thing. There are a lot of people that will never be interested in a PC as long as they live and that's fine, they can have the ready made box and play away. Those people aren't just going to stop buying a console because a game is also available on PC.

I bought an XB1 because QB was advertised as XB1 exclsuive, as of the most recent Game Awards trailer it was labeled as XB1 exclusive. If it turns out its coming to PC on day 1 I'll just wait for them to release their games on PC next gen.
It was just added as it seems. I guess we will get AW BC today then. Would make sense.
edit: where do you see it?

Boom. There it is.
Literally no reason to buy a 'Bone now. Scalebound will probably come to PC eventually too

where? I don't see it on the store.
It's weaker. Far weaker I don't think so.
I don't believe a lot people in the mass market looking for a console has a PC for play AAA games on it.
I followed the UK link posted by FelipeMGM which redirected me to Danish store.
Think just killer instinct, and I don't see that changing honestly.
As for the news, I'll never understand why people are more interested in playing consoles instead of playing games.
Might not be on the store you'd like, but it's available and it seems like it's gonna be a great game.
If adding PC in order for better sales is what it takes to make sure we can get a follow up to stuff like scalebound and this, then I don't really give a shit. Let em all play.
That's weird.
There it is, yes
edit: and seeing that Gamestar.de was correct with this, I assume the PC news is also correct.
Does game aren't exclusive to sony devices anymore tho.
