The real question is why not do the same with a desktop PC and a laptop like people have been doing since... forever... ? Lol @ lems thinking MS invented playing games in different devices, just shows how delusional and out of touch with reality they have become. If anything MS is making it harder to go truly crossplay by monopolizing the games inside their own services and operating system like some devs already figured out (http://www.polygon.com/2016/3/4/11159584/tim-sweeney-windows-10-monopoly-interview). But anyways, for doing what you did no one needs a xbone and that's the core of the issue of why the xbone is ultimately... irrelevant. TLHBO.

lol at referencing Tim Sweeney.. that actually just shows how delusional and out of touch with reality you are.. Sweeney's comments have already been debunked multiple times already, including comments from Phil Spencer himself..

as far as gaming from across a desktop and a laptop, that's great.. true, that's lasted forever.. But gaming seamlessly across console and PC with a single purchase and full Xbox Live integration?.. Nope, that just became mainstream with Xbox Play Anywhere.. and as primarily a console gamer and a fan of the Xbox Live service, this is an awesome feature..

Debunked how? Has MS confirmed that their games are going to be open to other stores like Steam?

And only lems care that this thing can be done between the xbone and a pc. In the real world most people don't do that and, if they do, having a desktop and laptop is just as good or even better since they wouldn't have to restrict themselves to the xbox store which is crap. In fact using something like GOG will be much more ideal since it is DRM free and, therefore, is not even attached to a PC having a particular middleware like Steam or even a particular operating system since you could move from Windows to Linux to Mac which is the true real cross platform way. I play some GOG games on my PC at home or at the University or even if I'm on a borrowed computer where there's no Steam installed and I can continue playing anywhere and I don't need a xbone or even the crappy windows store for that.

Or ok, if you're going to restrict yourself to a particular platform or software all the same, then Nintendo's solution is much better since it just uses the same device for porting the game to other places. That has the potential to have a much bigger impact than what MS proposed.

I'm sorry Antlem but TLHBO all the same and the xbone is still irrelevant to anyone other than lems.

Yes.. Microsoft confirmed that UWP games/apps are open to used on any other store like Steam.. Phil Spencer even showed off a couple Steam games converted to UWP in order to illustrate exactly that:

Loading Video...

and what are you talking about?.. in the real world, i'll be getting on a plane for work and i'll be out of town for over a week.. and while i'm gone, i'll be able to continue to play Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon3, and Recore as if i'm playing from my home console.. all my progress carries over and I can game online with my Xbox Live friends list.. That's the real world and that's the beauty of Xbox Play Anywhere.. so again, please explain how that isn't a useful and practical feature?.. please elaborate on how being able to buy a game once for your console and have it available on your PCs is a bad thing.. Please tell us all how being able to continue your games from device to device and still be able to game with my same online buddies from device to device is some terrible concept..

This is why people give you so much crap about your "feature".

Do you have an HDMI cable that can extend from your house to a train? The airport or airplane? Parent's house? Hotel room? Your work? Outside etc?

Also why are you putting feature in quotations, it's not a question, it's not a debate, it's a feature.

@Antwan3K what are the specs on that thing? Just curious.

the version I have has 512GB storage, 6th Gen Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M 2GB GDDR5, 16GB RAM.. This is by no means a gaming laptop and I didn't primarily buy it for the purpose of gaming.. But it does run the games that I have just fine. So far I have Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, Recore, Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition, Shadow Complex Remastered, and few others..

How well does it run Gears? I have laptop with similar specs and it'd be cool to play it when I travel.

lol give it a try I guess, it might work.. I'm really surprised by how good it looks and how smooth it performs.. I posted a quick video grab of Gears 4 running on my laptop earlier in the thread..

No. It's an expensive plastic box and a $60 a year handicap. Way to miss the point and show the requisite lack of intelligence for Lemming-kind.

Did you know that you can plug and also unplug an HDMI cable? It's like mind-blowing 21st century technology brah. OP could unplug his laptop for all that on-the-go gaming you're so crazy about.

Again, what would provide the better living room gaming and multimedia experience for a 65" 4K OLED HDTV with HDR? keep in mind that this for a person who prefers to game on consoles:

1) an Xbox Project Scorpio console

or

2) a gaming laptop with an HDMI cable

I guess I just don't get this "I like to game on consoles" wrinkle you're throwing in here. You have a wireless controller in your hand and shiny stuff on a screen. What gods be damned difference does it make if a console or a PC is in there? Why do you pay $60 a year to say "I have a console"? Because, make no mistake, that IS what you are doing.

Maybe, I sound harsh, but this thread gets regurgitated in some form or another over and over again in System Wars. A Lemming always comes in charging face first into here claiming anyone who "Doesn't get it" just isn't as much of a gamer as they. Yet, it's really all quite dumb to set fire to money for no seemingly apparent reason. I just need a rational explanation. "I am a console gamer" isn't rational.

Easy! MS decided to ditch exclusives and give current gen 8 crown to SONY and it seems for the foreseeable purchase. I like the convenience of MS's multi plats now too, we just have to acknowledge the SONY, current gen 8 console leade, will leader exclusives from here on out between MS and itself from now and forever.

@Shewgenja: I guess you also don't understand why different devices are designed to perform better for different roles and usage cases..

I prefer consoles because they are a dedicated device for a dedicated purpose.. and that dedicated purpose is a relatively inexpensive plug-and-play gaming solution for the living room.. plain and simple..

And not that I have to justify it to you, but I pay $60 a year for Xbox Live because it's a good online gaming service.. It was leagues better than the console competition in the days of the original Xbox and Xbox 360 and now with Games with Gold, I have an absolutely ridiculous amount of games in my backlog as well.. Xbox Live and PSN are closed system services tailored completely for online console gaming and, as a result, there is a subscription fee attached.. And if you're worried about spending $60 a year for a service you enjoy, then you probably shouldn't be trying to build monster PCs either.. You probably should find a cheaper hobby..

By the way, what's the answer to the above question i presented in my previous post?..

You had a leg to stand on back when games didn't have Day 1 patches, DLC, and consoles were at least in the same weight division as gaming PCs or even gaming laptops. You are a product of your fanboyism, and I knew going into this that I could connect the dots for you and you would just keep spinning in place.

One day, you will get it, though. Mark my words you will. The love of plastic box as a country or tribe only goes so far. Then, you will probably even remember this post when it all comes together.

You see, I have a gaming rig. I have a pretty awesome FreeSync monitor. This means I use DisplayPort for my monitor and that leaves the HDMI connector to run to my TV. Now, right about now, you're probably making the mental gymnastic leap of "But bu buh how do you navigate your Windows machine from your couch dude? Do you have a keyboard and mouse sprawled out on your couch like a virgin basement dwelling Hermit noob?"

Nope. There's an app for that. You can find them much cheaper if you look. I don't recommend it for kb/m gaming but that's what I do at my desk anyways. . . As would any PC gamer, really.

So, with all that in mind. I can use an XBox controller. A Playstation controller. Wheels, flight sticks, etc etc etc etc. YOU NAME IT. You'd personally use an XBox controller and between you and me? I ain't mad atcha if you do. It's very widely supported in PC games these days.

But, here's the real kicker. As a PC gamer, you have access to all kinds of marketplaces. Not just one. Way more games you can play. Many devices to play them from. It doesn't honestly matter what you upgrade to because you get to keep your games library for life.

So, long story short. You're almost there. You're laughably close to being a PC gamer and the only console you seem to even like is entirely PC-centric no less. If you were a Nintendo fanboy or a Sony fanboy, I would sit here and tolerate the smugness but you are not. Sure, my gaming rig may not be as powerful as the Scoprio right now, but it is more powerful than the PS4 Pro and I'm not doing a rebuild until I see independent Zen benches. A process that will be signed, sealed, and delivered long before you even see what the gods-be-almighty plastic box even looks like at E3. That's the difference between a gamer and a fanboy. I'm not even committed to my upgrades but you are chomping at the bit to go set some more money on fire at the altar of XBox before you even see what it is or really know what it does. So, you will have to pardon some of us on this forum if we're not enticed to play along with this grand delusion that a "feature" is much of anything other than either an escape route for Microsoft Studios or a bargaining chip to keep publishers from putting all of their games on the PS4. Some of us are rational. Have a good night.

Ofc it is a great feature that promotes gaming across the board. But, asking for fanboys to see reasoning and logic? These are alien concepts to them. It's like hitting yourself against a wall expecting that the wall will break before your head does.

PS4 has an app that you can remote play your PS4 on your PC.

And PS NOW is on PC as well.

The thing about XBOX is that its always been lacking in exclusives and the most of its exclusive end up on PC anyways so it seen as a bad system to get if you have a PC or want a second console.

Its not a bad thing for gamers, but its a bad thing for XBOX cuz no one would want to buy the damn system or spend time with it. Which means your not creating a solid fan base or supporting the fan base you have. Playstation feels like a family, the community is so strong and deep, and Sony invest in that fanbase family connection. Sony makes you feel special and part of something big by being a Playstation fan.

Some of us are rational. Have a good night.

wow, you sure are dense..

I just posted pics and started a thread about me gaming on my PC and your conclusion to that is I "worship a plastic box [console]"?.. quite the opposite my delusional friend.. I am indeed an Xbox fan (i mean, i'm still allowed to be a fan of something right?) and as such I prefer their online service and many of their gaming IP.. I was also a huge fan of PlayStation, having owned and loved every Sony console made except for the PS4.. but now that console generations are seemingly making a fundamental shift towards a more services and ecosystem focused future, most of the major AAA games are multiplatform titles, and I have an ever dwindling amount of time to enjoy this hobby I love, the days of owning several different consoles are coming to an end for me..

I say that to say this, at this point, the last thing I will do is worship a single piece of plastic.. I'm an Xbox fan with an Xbox console, a capable laptop, and (once I eventually upgrade) i'll have a gaming capable desktop PC as well.. what part of that tells you I worship a console?.. True, at the end of the day, I will likely still prefer to play on consoles because my preferred method of gaming is on my living room couch via my television with a controller.. And great, I'm glad that you can play your PC games on your living room TV.. congrats.. but there's more than one way to game on living room TVs and the easiest, most intuitive, and most practical way of doing so is still simply plugging in a console.. And Project Scorpio is a console that will, by your own admission, be more powerful than your current gaming rig.. So for me and my preferences, gaming on a console is still going to be what I primarily enjoy.. heck, we all have our preferences.. but for you to try to imply that your preferences are somehow superior to my preferences is the essence of YOUR irrational fanboyism..

Bottomline: Xbox Play Anywhere will provide me a seamless way to play my games natively across my various devices using a single log-in, a single cloud save, and a single online service that I already enjoy.. plain and simple.. you're just a silly fanboy that only sees fault in that kind of beneficial feature because it has the word "Xbox" attached to it.. so again, that's your fanboyism on full display.. So go ahead and continue to build your PC.. If you're the "pure gamer" you claim to be, feel free to buy some of the great Xbox Play Anywhere games that are available in the Windows Store, create your Xbox Live account, and i'll see you online whether i'm gaming from my console or my PC..

Have a good night as well..

Surfaces fall apart fast. We don't even purchase them anymore at work because of their failure rate(i'm a pen tester a cloud based security company). They're cheaply made.

Easy! MS decided to ditch exclusives and give current gen 8 crown to SONY and it seems for the foreseeable purchase. I like the convenience of MS's multi plats now too, we just have to acknowledge the SONY, current gen 8 console leade, will leader exclusives from here on out between MS and itself from now and forever.

Face it. Whatever string of bullshit you come up with as to why any rational gamer would not or should not do as I suggest is precisely the rift between you as a gamer and your fanboyism for a plastic doohicky called "Xbox".

What? So now people that don't have a tiny appartment, but an actual house need to have a +20m HDMI cable from their desk, to their living room so they can connect the PC to the TV. How does it work with the controller then if my PC is placed somewhere completely different from my TV? Or I should move my PC to my TV, because it's so easy to also do actual work on a TV with keyboard, and mouse on my lap.

Your HDMI cord idea doesn't make any sense.

What's funny is that Sony has been able to dominate this gen thanks to superior multi-plats, and yet Cows still act like people buy consoles for "exclusives"

That must be why the Wii U sold so well...

Together with BC, this is a nice thing to have and a good change to the current console culture, and I wish both are further expanded. Though I wouldn't call it a huge thing but still miles head from the competition. And it's ironic how after all the mess with the launch the X1 is now by far the most pro consumer console. Regardless of all its flaws Imo Phill Spencer has made the best job ever in changing the consumer perception of a console, from bad to good.

Just don't expect cows to praise it, just as no one should expect lems to praise Sony for anything. But that's the beauty of the system wars, seeing fanboys melting down.

If there's one thing I've learned about cows it's this, they hate inferiority more than anything, they can't stand it, they can't stand the thought of a better gaming experience taking place elsewhere.

What are they going to do when Scorpio comes out and they begin to feel like second class citizen's allowing this inferiority complex to consume them due to getting drastically inferior multi-platform games at every release?

They're going to buy Scorpio, mark my words, you're going to see an unprecedented amount of ship jumping after the initial wave of meltdowns this place is going to experience.

It's coming.

My answer to your question:

The same reason why it's widely believed that the PS4 have very little exclusives here at SW.

The real question is why not do the same with a desktop PC and a laptop like people have been doing since... forever... ? Lol @ lems thinking MS invented playing games in different devices, just shows how delusional and out of touch with reality they have become. If anything MS is making it harder to go truly crossplay by monopolizing the games inside their own services and operating system like some devs already figured out (http://www.polygon.com/2016/3/4/11159584/tim-sweeney-windows-10-monopoly-interview). But anyways, for doing what you did no one needs a xbone and that's the core of the issue of why the xbone is ultimately... irrelevant. TLHBO.

lol at referencing Tim Sweeney.. that actually just shows how delusional and out of touch with reality you are.. Sweeney's comments have already been debunked multiple times already, including comments from Phil Spencer himself..

as far as gaming from across a desktop and a laptop, that's great.. true, that's lasted forever.. But gaming seamlessly across console and PC with a single purchase and full Xbox Live integration?.. Nope, that just became mainstream with Xbox Play Anywhere.. and as primarily a console gamer and a fan of the Xbox Live service, this is an awesome feature..

Debunked how? Has MS confirmed that their games are going to be open to other stores like Steam?

And only lems care that this thing can be done between the xbone and a pc. In the real world most people don't do that and, if they do, having a desktop and laptop is just as good or even better since they wouldn't have to restrict themselves to the xbox store which is crap. In fact using something like GOG will be much more ideal since it is DRM free and, therefore, is not even attached to a PC having a particular middleware like Steam or even a particular operating system since you could move from Windows to Linux to Mac which is the true real cross platform way. I play some GOG games on my PC at home or at the University or even if I'm on a borrowed computer where there's no Steam installed and I can continue playing anywhere and I don't need a xbone or even the crappy windows store for that.

Or ok, if you're going to restrict yourself to a particular platform or software all the same, then Nintendo's solution is much better since it just uses the same device for porting the game to other places. That has the potential to have a much bigger impact than what MS proposed.

I'm sorry Antlem but TLHBO all the same and the xbone is still irrelevant to anyone other than lems.

Yes.. Microsoft confirmed that UWP games/apps are open to used on any other store like Steam.. Phil Spencer even showed off a couple Steam games converted to UWP in order to illustrate exactly that:

and what are you talking about?.. in the real world, i'll be getting on a plane for work and i'll be out of town for over a week.. and while i'm gone, i'll be able to continue to play Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon3, and Recore as if i'm playing from my home console.. all my progress carries over and I can game online with my Xbox Live friends list.. That's the real world and that's the beauty of Xbox Play Anywhere.. so again, please explain how that isn't a useful and practical feature?.. please elaborate on how being able to buy a game once for your console and have it available on your PCs is a bad thing.. Please tell us all how being able to continue your games from device to device and still be able to game with my same online buddies from device to device is some terrible concept..

Ok I hope then that MS keeps their hands away from trying to enclose everything on a single platform. I don't see the point of UWP if they didn't want to do that. But anyways...

Yes, YOU in the rel world, because YOU are a lemming. Is not that the feature is useless but it is practically so since very few people will be using it, mainly lems like you who worship MS and buy the xbone, surface, and all the rest of MS crap. The average console gamer doesn't care about taking their laptop (since they don't even like gaming on a computer anyways) elsewhere and playing a shittier, laggier version of the game in a motel room. So this feature is mostly useless for them. And for the average PC gamer this has been solved since forever and without the extra fees of having to pay for the xbone and for the internet connection. So yeah the feature is mostly useless and irrelevant in the large scheme of the gaming world. For some lems like you I'm sure it's quite useful but I don't think that will cause much impact.

Again, Nintendo has a much more powerful case with their Switch since I see the real appeal to console gamers by leaving the PC out entirely and not having to buy or use a second device. MS should learn from them if that's what they wanted to do.

It's posts like this that make me think lems don't understand basic technology and that's why it's so easy for MS to fool them with rebranded existing technology or just plain shitty one (kinect).

LOL, bookmarked for future ownage. I know that the concept of caring for games is alien to lems but, believe me, real gamers care for games first and foremost. Sony has them, MS doesn't. That's why TLHBO and will continue to be. TLHBO.

oh dear, you are a total prat, Shewjenja was specifically talking about hooking up a laptop to a large TV screen AT HOME, to negate the point of owning an Xbox.

the other guy, quite rightly, pointed out that he was not talking about using it at home he was talking about using it when he travels.

That was all

Reading comprehension FTW.

Again another lem that doesn't seem to understand how technology works. Fact 1: you can plug your laptop to your tv and play the game on your tv. Fact 2: you can unplug your laptop from your tv and take it elsewhere and keep playing the game on your laptop, including at the airport, without the HDMI cable. Fact 3: you don't need a xbone for that. That was Shewjenja's point which apparently flew all over lemmings' heads... TLHBO

Don't care, one way or another I own all the current-gen consoles/PC to play my games as I see fit but however, I still need an Xbox One to play games like Rare Replay & Halo 5 since they cannot be played on Windows 10, so having an Xbox One in my home, I have an excuse to keep it. The only thing Cross-Play is good for is to play just MS exclusive games on PC and nothing more.

@davillain-: Many lemmings are obsessed with keeping track of alts and whatnot. I imagine they keep organized files and lists and complex sketches on their walls to figure stuff out, much like conspiracy theorists do. I have been accused of being three or four people already so I just accept that I'm all of them and more since that means I was owning lems even before it was cool. TLHBO.

They better get there shit straighten out before they look like fools. (Well they are already if they stop taking alts seriously)
