Keep begging for stuff that will never happen due to licenses.......

If they can expand to include third party games too I think it could be a bigger game changer. At the very least, I think they could probably get EA on board initially.

@True_Gamer_: So people want more content in FIFA. What's wrong with that?

You buy a console and THEN start begging?

My friend was about to buy xbone for Forza/FIFA...

When he found out that the greek league is only on PC...he forked out €600 instantly for fx6300/r9 280 PC....

Damn, I'm not seeing this go past rumor myself, I doubt MS heavy hitters will be on PC soon.

Do you perchance know the answer to my second question too ? I'm sure MS said at the Windows 10 reveal that they were going to show more games like Fable Legends for PC at GDC. And I've searched around and found 0.

Microsoft win either way, by having exclusives on PC too it will widen the audience for its exclusives, giving them extra sales, also will give extra incentive to keep Windows a necessity for gamers (There is no way in hell they will ever port them to Linux or OSX and it will help sell Windows 10 to gamers)

I don't think it will effect the Xbone too much, maybe those who primarily game on PC will no longer buy the system, but there will still be a sizeable audience who still want that plug in and play standard hardware that can go under your TV. Every game on Xbox will use the controller you get with the machine, and it requires no tweaking - that appeals to a lot of people. Even with steam trying to consolise itself with big picture feels like Windows 8 at launch a half baked implementation.

This will make a lot less sense for Sony to do as they don't have any involvement with PC gaming. Sony's involvement in the TV and Phone market both look to be on the way out, so PlayStation is the only thing they need to support.

good. nobody likes owning redundant hardware.

Actually I do, you are simply talking bout ease of use and flexibility.

However, you chose to take my comment out of context and list various reasons why X1 is a good console (indirect reasons) and then go completely off topic by mentioning the many different ways to play video games. Irrelevant nor do I care:

The thread is about 1st party games coming to X1 and PC and how that impacts the gaming community. Not if X1 can hook up to a TV, easy to set up...or if I can play a video game on a tablet.

Xbox games going to PC and PC games going to xbox

we are not competing with us that would be insane to compete with yourself (xbox is ms and ms is windows)

as long as ps4 gamers gotta continue with greatness awaits i'll be happy

I don't share your view that the PC is a direct competitor to consoles - neither does Sony, MS, or Nintendo.

Oddly this move does kind of indicate that MS are looking for an exit from Xbox One.

Honestly, no idea. I haven't noticed any PC game announced really. Forza was supposed to be announced for PC, but nothing happened.

Well consoles are barely profitable. Consider that Sony has barely made money off the PS4 while the company is still burning down around Kaz Hirai's ears (So much that he's already been lined up to be replaced according to Hollywood insiders. The kind that don't eff around when leaking business deals to publications). It's a red ocean market with no real benefit. Software is what really makes the money. Plus I saw this interview with Phil Spencer today which is very, very interesting

http://recode.net/2015/03/06/microsofts-phil-spencer-on-hololens-and-uniting-xbox-and-the-pc-qa/

Gabe's biggest beef with MS on Windows 8 was the app store and Microsoft basically telling him to **** off, their gaming priorities was with Xbox, back when it was being developed. So Spencer going to Valve saying "This is what we want to do, we want your input and we want to work with you to make it happen" is what Gabe wanted with MS in the first place (Also explains how stagnant SteamOS dev seems lately. Less incentive when MS is giving Valve what they wanted all along. They will probably hold it as backup but really, Steam Machines and Steam OS feel like they are being sent to die so Valve can fulfill contracts).

The only headache I see is the inevitable "What parts do I buy" from ex-lems ascending to the glory of Gaben's light. But we will have plenty of cow tears once they realise that a declaration that PC Gaming is the way forward from one of the big three also annhilates their APU Garbagebox too. Or Sony will have Sega'd out of console manufacture. Either is good.

Yeah, MS was probably blowing hot air when they said they were going to show PC games at GDC.

As always.

I would be surprised if that was the case.

'And Bloodborne isn't one?'

No it's not, not in my opinion anyway, it;s called personal preference, something you Cows deny the existence of.

Besides, what Idiot drops 400 quid on a console for 1 Game?

'you get one game 1 year later and that game is nowhere near Bloodborne quality.'

Nowhere near bloodborne Quality? how the **** would you know, neither game has been released yet.

I know. Its Bloodborne, motherfawker!

The Ps4 is massively profitable for Sony, it's their other divisions sinking the company.

Are you fucking high again six?

L4D was always a PC game. The 360 version was ported over

It lost money the first year it launched and profits have been marginal at best so far. $228 million during a busy season may look good, but in context. Nintendo made $270 million and are far healthier while selling less. PS4 is not the magic bullet that saves Sony and it never will be unless it completely sheds console and peripheral manufacture and goes software only.

More fuel to the fire?

Well the only reason MS will be saying this is because of the whole Windows 10 and X1 cross play feature.

@delta3074: facts, accept them. Only high on the weekend yo.

@magicalclick:

Yea, but might not have it for much longer.

Need to know if Quantum Break and Halo 5 will be seeing a release on pc first.

Meh. Keep your dude bro shooters. Just keep giving me Remedy games.

One less reason to buy a POS4 as well since the POS4 has no games.

Microsoft did the world a favor today by converting more people to the PC Master Race

One more reason to buy a PS4 since all those exclusives will be on PS4 only ! PC for everything else, problem solved.

So 30FPS Mediocre exclusives from has been developers or devs where the talent departed years ago (Like Naughty Dud) and 720P VR?

Compelling argument there Mister Sony Marketer. Please, guide me to where I can buy this piece of expensive garbage with no games at all.

Naughty Dog released one of the highest rated games of all time just a year and 9 months ago. If the talent departed "years" ago, they obviously didn't need them.

I would say that the track record of 3 AAAs in a row would hint, at least, of the possibility the studio will release another good game. Until there's some convincing evidence to the contrary.

Average downgraded third person shooters the paid press circlejerked once the checks cleared from Sony and one game so bad the stealth mechanics didn't even work but the press gave it 10/10 because "MUH FEELS".

Hilarious. Top grade shilling. Neil Druckman is a hack in the wrong industry by the way so you can take your movie games and put them on Blu-Ray where they belong and stop infecting the gaming industry with your downgraded, press X to win trash, Cows.

What kind of Troll are you? Why would you buy an XBone when you will have all of it's games on the PC? Sony may have started this Gen. slow but looking at Sony's past track record they start every system slow. Then they come out with some of the best games this Industry has seen. If you don't like good games that sounds like a personal problem, but don't try to make it look like Xbone losing it's exclusives is a good thing.

Stop with the "Sony starts every gen slow" mantra they're not the same company anymore. The fact that they're pushing indies so hard with the PS4 and that indies make up the majority of the PS4 game library is proof enough of that; not to mention all of their recent financial struggles which puts everything into perspective.

I personally don't know why MS are doing this. It appears that this is a clear win for the PC while it's unclear how this will benefit the XBO from a sales point of view. However, I'm sure that there are things about this upcoming change that a lot of us are unaware of. I'm certain that MS now exactly what they're doing, after all, these people are smart and highly educated.

Sony released 2-3 major exclusives for PS3 even a few months prior of PS4 release. So yes , its the same company always was . Even more respect to them when those titles came after alot of financial pressure. Where was Wii all those years PS3 went berserk with titles ? Where was X360 ? So take that into consideration before you tell us that Sony isnt delivering ( more or less )

Bloodborne / Uncharted 4 / God of War 4 / Street Fighter 5 / P.T / Persona 5 / Last Guardian / Until Dawn / Ratchet / Infamous / Killzone / Gran Turismo and more to come what else to ask from near to a bankruptcy company when it comes to both diversity and quality let alone quantity of exclusives/time exclusives ? Yeah , for sure all of them cant be AAA though who in the end of the day making ONLY AAA exclusives ?

If someone was smart this generation was Sony that didnt fell into last gens motion controls trend MS felt. MS tried to make a motion control console to lure all who liked Wii motion controls plus their main hardcore fans with a product that will do everything Wii did plus everything that didnt. And that was to be able to play all multiplatform titles and be kinda advanced in hardware in a logical price along with the online and multimedia capabilities . Therefore the XONE name. ONE for all. They predicted that totally WRONG.

That backfired hard because casuals dont give a crap about Kinect and motion controls anymore . They guessed WRONG .. Motion Controls wasnt the future as they thought ( because of Wii last gen sales obviously )

So MS ended up with with their biggest marketing weapon out ( kinect , yes kinect ) ... And whats left when the big marketing weapon is out because noone cares about such mimicks anymore ? Yes ... A mediocre hardware/system that trying to compete with a way better one on same price tag . Something isnt right here is it ?

And when they see that for a year now they CANT REVERSE the crap they did with those super cheap bundles and coupons and free games , even removal of Kinect itself dammit ... They made this PC announcement ... Because they know they lost this console generation so bad and theres no way to reverse it anymore. And they changed their focus to other markets as well for profit ... Thats what really happening . They messed up everything thats all. I wouldnt call that smart by any means ...

As a PC gamer myself though is something i welcome .. More games for my PC , thats awesome both for me as gamer and MS as publisher/developer. Theyll make some bucks from me which otherwise they wouldnt. Thats where they aiming now. Console war is over.

Accept Facts about a game that hasn't even been released yet?

what kind of idiot would do that, you don't know how the game will turn out, it could be a good looking buggy mess at launch like 5club or MCC collection for all you know.

You are 'Assuming' the game will be that good and assumptions are NOT facts dude, Seriously.

Hidetaka Miyazaki. This is why its an undeniable fact. I don't assume anything, no one assumes anything when Miyazaki is involved. This is not a western dev that tried to milk your titties by selling some yearly rehash (Hardline is the next in that category), THIS IS BLOODMOTHERFUC*INGBORNE. If you expect a 5 or 6, you should adjust your expectations, these dudes don't mess around.

Sorta can't wait for the resounding shift in perception as lems start to hype up MS as if they had a PC all along.

It's gonna be good.
