Forza on PC please. I'd pay a good amount of money for that, quite honestly.
This is the one Xbox game that I've always wanted to try.

Yes, Killer Instinct is natively a PC game being ported to the XBone, but that's most games today. A lot of games now use a cross-compatible engine in order to make games that are both easy to demo and easy to modify and port (basically, making it easy to bug-fix and release updates).Isn't the game already running on PC?
I don't really see MS supporting the PC unless the XB1 runs out of gas halfway through the console generation.
I thought they published ME1?
ewwGreat news. GFWL worked well for me, my favorite PC DD platform. Hopefully they'll put more resources into it this time so people don't get as many bugs.
Hey guys, I just upgraded to win 8.1. Can someone fill me in on why buying games through the windows game store is a bad thing? Are there actual technical limitations on what kind of games can go in there? Or is it just a case of "Not Steam DRM so I don't want to play it?"
Genuine question from a new user of 8.1
Cheers.
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.

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.

- 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!

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!

Hey gaiz new manager here, so like a bunch of your games might stop working come 2014...but that's okay!

We will share more details in the future!
- 2013 - MS promises core first party games coming to PC
We're so committed we swear!
It's not the first time Microsoft has made a commitment to PC gaming since the 360 was released. I'm not believing it until I see good results.

Heh, SteamOS really riled them up
would play the shit out of banjo kazooie nuts and bolts with steam workshop
crimson dragon and killer instinct would also be much appreciated sometime down the line
First party XB1 titles with better framerates, higher resolution, same controller, free online. Interesting!Hmm maybe I don't need an xbox one...

But now they have a new CEO and did some management shake-up.
All that shit I said three years ago is still 100% true: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=25070170&postcount=265
Except we have three more years of broken promises from MS. Nobody believes the stuff they say anymore. Makes you wonder why they bother saying it.
Over 100 games will be available to purchase on the site and more will be added every week. Indeed, Orullian strongly hinted that there will be some more interesting PC game announcements and reveals when Games For Windows Marketplace launches on November 15.
"Definitely you should show up on day one, because we're going to have a great pre-order on a title you may care about," he added.
So many haters on this board. What in the heck?
Seriously? This is the company that tried to introduce a monthly user fee for P2P play on PC.
And Sony compromised our credit card information.
So what?
I'm at least going to let Microsoft design and release their product. Once it's out then I'll judge.
Microsoft has a long history of supporting PC gamers.
It just ends in 2004.
- The DirectX initiative - remember how frustrating it used to be to set up devices for each individual PC game on DOS?
- Flight Simulator series and it's spinoff Combat Flight Simulator
- The Age of Empires series plus the spin Age of Mythlogy
- Rise of Nations and Rise of Legends - two very underrated RTS
- The Close Combat Series
- Starlancer and Freelancer
See, none of these games were console ports. I don't necessarily hate console style games on PC but I do prefer games that are developed with PC's in mind. Microsoft hasn't released a game of the sort in seven years.

The XBOX initiative really spelled the end of their PC gaming focus with PC styled games. It was probably the worst thing to happen to PC Gaming at the time. Or probably the best, since out of the ashes rose Steam (which was actually pretty reviled at the time and mocked endlessly upon release with the HL2 BS), and MS abandoning and promptly disregarding the platform for gaming was what allowed Steam to rise in its place in the first place.
