Citing that article, it's more accurate to say a person is unhappy. Sweeny is the only source mentioned. Also, I thought you can get Quantum Break on Steam?

I have read other articles talking about that subject, that was just the first one that came up. Could be he's part of a small minority but it does seem logical that devs/pubs wouldn't like it if things are as Sweeny says they are. Either way it's not a problem, if people want it it's cool they'll have the option to play some other games they may not have been exposed to otherwise, then again as I said before most games come to console already anyway.
 
Yeah, no good games on PC. :txbrolleyes:

These Ponies have really been sticking their noses in Xbox threads as the eminent explosion of tear inducing Scorpio news approaches. They are praying for an Achilles heel in there somewhere.

Yeah that's exactly what I said :txbrolleyes:

I will probably buy a scorpio but it won't be to play PC games, it'll be because it has the best looking 3rd party games, as long as you can really tell the difference I'll buy it on day one.
 
The whole Console exclusive thing is silly fanboy fodder anyway. Some people view SF4 or Nier as PlayStation exclusives even though they're on PC.

I guess whatever's convenient.

Some people also said for years that there was nothing to play on the other console, another stupid thing to say. I don't count a game as exclusive if it can be played on another platform, if you want to say console exclusive that'd be accurate but if a game on either MS or Sony consoles is just called exclusive and is also coming to PC that's kind of false advertising IMO because it basically says it's the only place you can play it and that's not true.
 
Stick your finger in a tub of, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER and tell me what it reminds you of. Be honest too....:hehe:

I don't buy that crap, it's only real butter for this guy. Also if it's supposed to be vagina I wouldn't know, that's not my thing and if you are talking about the other spot sorry that doesn't feel like butter, at least not any of the ones I've stuck my finger in :p
 
There are people in the industry that are unhappy with what MS is doing with this as well.

They're referencing Tim's rants from a year ago, which Phil himself already shot down.
http://www.dualshockers.com/2016/03...neys-criticism-of-universal-windows-platform/

He ranted again recently about MS trying to destroy the world, which you can check out in the PC forums.

I'm all for people keeping an eye on what MS are up to in the PC world, but at least read the fine print and check those receipts before you cry wolf.

But I get where you're comming from. But at the end of the day, no matter what you do, you're never going to please everyone, especially when there's a buck to be made, and even more-so when developers think of themselves as celebs. Looking at people like Tim, Lorne Lanning, that dude that designed Daikatana, Peter Molyneux (Although I do really enjoy listening to him talk. His voice is so soothing, and I could listen him wax poetically for hours)and the pervert who came up with Dead or Alive... Shut up and make your games.

When the sun shines on them, they lap up all the attention, and say so much crap. Then when the s*** hits the fan, they all refuse to comment, or pass the blame. *points at NMS*

Seriously though. That's really all I'm trying to say. PC games on Xbox is extremely exciting. Don't downplay it under the guise of friendly disagreements. No one here is dumb enough to buy that crap. "Not a huge deal", as if consoles have been playing PC games since Pong. lol. Come on, man....

I actually agree with Jinca.

Yes, being able to do this is nice, but there aren' t that many good games that are PC only anymore, and the majority that are have done so because the console controller is not good enough to play them. Games like the Total War series and Civilization series. are great examples of what I am talking about.

Does Scorpio even support mouse & kyboard as an input device?

So, is this feature news huge, no, I dont think it is. But it isn't nothing either and shouldn't be swept under rug.

According to Phil, Keyboard and Mouse support comes to Xbox One this year. As for PC games, I would happily enjoy playing WOW, ARMA, Nier, Star Citizen, Eve, Squadron 42, Total War and many many more on Scorpio.

If Microsoft came out with free energy, Tim Sweeney would accuse Microsoft of trying to put Coal Mines, Oil Companies, and gas stations out of business for their own greed.

Same. They need to have cheevos though.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is a perfect example, IMO. They even developed a version for 360 that would have been seen as jaw dropping several years ago, before the new gen started. You also have a 4K version on PS4 Pro. Now, it's actually easier than ever to reach back to the Xbox One, since it's the same developer environment as Scorpio.

What is this mythical game that can only be achieved on a 4K machine, that cannot also be done at some arbitrary resolution and 30fps on Xbox One? Someone please tell me, because until then, I don't believe it. I love the small developer example. "Yeah, I'm a small developer, and I'd like to appeal to the smallest audience possible... even though I could have developed across two platforms for the price of one. I'd rather not make my money back on investment, please!". NO.

I am done arguing this. Time will tell. Wait and see. I am not saying they couldn't put a version on xbone. If you like gimped up crappy downgraded pieces of crap just to make it work. Tech will advance and older tech will not be capable.

Stop that. Most of the big PC games come to consoles any way and this week Indies don't count. :txbrolleyes:

What becomes of the Master Race when ultra settings show up on a lowly kid's box? :laugh:
 
Are we going to hear any official info about this system before E3?

On a related side note, it's good time to be a gamer. Upgraded consoles from all the major players in essentially a 1 year period, pretty freaking sweet.

And most of those games are exactly the kind I spoke of.

But can the mouse and keyboard be used for gaming? Support coming does not gurantee that, and I doubt MS wants to create an unlevel playing field.

The Xbox One already supports keyboard, but not for gaming. Phil is talking about keyboard and mouse support for games. My guess is that each developer would choose whether they want their game to support it, instead of a standard.

Tim Sweeney couldn't be any more butthurt even after a night with Bellybama. It's the tech equivlant pyramids as granaries and slave ships as immigrant vessels.
 
What if Scorpio has an improved Win10 OS and can play Steam games? Would Valve allow that? Would Microsoft allow a competing Store in their Eco-system?

I knew you would assume I'm a power top!

It's that masulinity I ooze. I'm going to paint my nails turquoise to celebrate!

Edit* power top autocorrects as powerful if you don't put a space in. Homophobic auto correct! It's as assumptious and offensive as a woman!

Well, yeah, and people wouldn't like it if firemen came around molesting their cats either, but that doesn't lend any credence to a story alleging that's what they're doing. Microsoft would be absolutely destroyed if they made it so you couldn't run applications from sources other than the Windows store. Corporate customers would s*** bricks if the software they've developed in house over the past decades is suddenly no longer available to them (even if it could be enabled with a 'developer mode' hack or some such), and they'd lose more money on that than they could gain if they absorbed all of Sony and Valve's gaming revenue.

That's not butter... that's the buttest! (I feel like I have to tag Bellybama again here).

I'm kind of gonna call bulls*** on it making All PC games available though. Could you imagine the outrage if SFV were available on Xbox, after Sony paid for those 11 people to play it?

I do love the idea of it happening though. Let the gamers game, damnit!

Yeah... People would hate the idea of Firemen doing anything to their p*****.

Sometimes, after I've had a night mare about Mr Fireman molesting things, I wake up all sweaty with my sheets clinging too me, clinging to me harder than Katy Perry's veiny hands grasping to be relevant again.

Thats a valid reason for doing it though.The fallout alone. Me. id be happy with Black and White and final fantasies 78910and12. Probably legal too since its just a class of PC.

Didnt Valve release Steamboxes a few years ago? Can they play SFV?

I don't think it will be all by default. I think each game would still need to be made console specific. I mean, let just say that WOW went UWP in addition to Steam. And then it just downloaded on your Xbox and you start playing it, but nothing is matched up with the Xbox One controller. There are no As, Bs, Xs, Ys on the screen, etc.
