none of those games exists there is no Xbox exclusives.
Not sure why people keep saying this. Exclusivity is in the console space, and I'd wager very few people game on console and PC very regularly.

Well when I see the word exclusive i see a game thats only on Xbox platformS with the service.

I DK about you guys but I dont see xbox as a console anymore but a really big service with 2 platforms of my choice.

No different than to say Amazon. If a video is Exclusive to Amazon it goes to all apps that can run Amazon videos (Amazon fire, Amazon Sticks, Amazon tablets, andriod Tablets. Ect. Ect.)

So thatis how I see on xbox when its exclusive.

Well the Xbox is still a console and not a service...it is one of your platforms of choice after all.
The service is still the same as it always has been, Xbox Live.

my reply was a joke to go with all those online articles appearing that Xbox has no exclusives all around when scalebound got axed.

Man I was bored so and wanted to play on the old 360. Playing Far Cry 3 damn man that system still holds up so well. Even my wife said wow that looks good for a 360 game. You almost forget just how good 360 was and still is. Not sure if that is cause MS was so ahead of their time hardware wise when it came to that hardware or it shows how weak the new system are but man having fun playing.

Funny, I got the itch to play Reach, so fired it up BC... Damn, I forgot how great this game is! It was a huge step up from HALO 3, and it's much more stable than I remember! So good!

Has anyone played Wasteland 2? Looks like a nice old school RPG. Just watched a video on it, I have never heard of it before. I saw you can get it cheap.

MFW I just realized after all this time that I can stream music from my OneDrive folder straight to the Xbox Groove Music App without a subscription...

It's built in windows 10 Xbox app.
Cross chat is possible. I have done it many times.

Get the person on win 10 to start a party via the xbox app and invite you
 
Think we see Halo 3 Anniversary this year?
I love that, but I doubt it. If they did, I'd want a full remake with new animation, etc (Gears style). We already essentially have a remaster with 1080/60 in the MCC.

Honestly, I'd like to see a full retelling of Halo 3 with updated gameplay. I can play through the original with it's gameplay all I want now, though It's probably me least favorite Halo outside of a few Scenarios (though much of that has to do with the Wonky Animation and Cortana Interuptions). I say make the story exactly the same for sake of Canon, but present it with more modern flair.

Will never happen though.
 
I wish we could get original Xbox BC on the Xbox One. I want to play me some Ghost Recon Summit Strike online, and some Rainbow Six Black Arrow.

If they *were* going to do it, you'd almost think it'd be a launch game for Scorpio, with 4K/60. I'm just not sure what they could add to make it worth an additional purchase for someone not upgrading to Scorpio, since as you say you can play it perfectly well in MCC.

If anything, it could be a "we realize we done f***ed up" free upgrade to the MCC, with the 4K/60 for Scorpio. Can you imagine the reaction when they show off the 4K/60 gameplay, talk about Halo 3 Anniversary, coming to Scorpio/XB1 on such and such a date, and then: "And best of all, if you already own Halo MCC, you'll get this content on launch date, free of charge." *mic drop*

(Mind you, that's all highly unlikely, I'm just trying to find a plausible scenario where they're making it, and I have to stretch plausibility to reach one).

I'd be pissed because MCC needs patches not more games

Does it really? I don't play MP at all so I figured that, at some point, they would have gotten it squared away. If it's really at a point where you'd say "No, thanks for a free Halo 3 Anniversary, I'd rather have a patch" it must be really f***ed.

Its not broken but its still pretty unfinished so when it comes to adding content they might as well just continue to forget that it exists.

What exactly isn't finished? I suppose they never added Halo 5, but I don't expect that to be what you're talking about. :)

It's main issue stems from trying to get all those different engine iterations to play together. I'm not sure it can be fixed without rewriting them all in the exact same engine. I remember seeing interviews where they didn't even think they could pull it off at all, and that what it is is a small miracle.
 
Good news for Ace Combat fans.

Looks like Sony's marketing handcuffs are finally taken off Namco. AC7 coming for X1 and PC too. All coming out in 2017. Hopefully, it will be more like AC4 or 5 and not like their recent AC games.... which one of them had a carbon copy level of CoD 4's AC-130 stage. And then there was another CoD stage with chopper gunner.

I'd love to see and re-imagining of Halo:CE through Halo 3 in one game. Not at 1 for 1 remake but re-do he entire game and story with a bunch of open ODST like environments.

I would like that too, but THAT will never happen, lol!
 
Gears of War 4 will have cross play for the Social play list between Win 10 and Xbox One.

As such, beginning today, Social Quickplay will now be a Cross-play playlist! This step is planned to be a permanent move for the future of Social Quickplay, with the first few months being a ‘trial period’ in order to monitor player feedback alongside data to ensure the Test Weekend was representative.

Core and Competitive will remain platform independent, only matching Xbox players with each other and Windows 10 players with each other. Despite the closely matched performance between users on both platforms seen in our cross-play Test Weekend, we always want to ensure our Ranked experiences are as closely matched and competitive as possible. Due to the major popularity of Social Quickplay on Windows 10, we will be looking at introducing new Core and Competitive solutions for Windows 10 players in the future to provide more focused offerings to experience the more competitive ranked play of Gears of War 4.
