Lock if old.

I think that ship has sailed. Not only that, but it would have to be cross play compatible with the PS4. I love the thought of a Xbox One/PS4 cross play fighter. It'd help keep the community more activie. The question on my mind is, will this include PS4 crossplay in the future.  If so, everyone wins!

Just don't have cross-play between PC and XB1 then, unless only PC players using a controller get matched up with XB1 players. Mouse vs. controller would be awful for any shooter.

If they did that all multiplayer FPS would be unplayable on the Xbox One.  I doubt they would do that.  I think this is the only genre we could leave out, unless they make it so you have to use the Xbox One controller, but with the modding community I don't see that ending well.  If I was a gambling man my money would be on game slike Sunset Overdrive which already has been hinted for the PC.

Interesting indeed.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

It will be a blow to Xbox One. Consoles distinguish themselves from others with exclusives. This will reduce the value. If you want to play a game then get that system. If Nintendo games came into PC then nobody bothered to get Nintendo systems.

I'm putting my money on Forza 5 (and/or another Forza game) and Killer Instinct coming to PC. They already had Forza 5 running using DX12 on a PC using the Nvidia GTX Titan Black almost a year ago, and of course we had the quite recent poll about Killer Instinct coming to PC, with over 70% saying they'd like that happening.

While I do agree with what you are saying, given the ways that MS seems to do things, they disagree! Heck, just look at Fable Legends for example, that is coming to PCs and that is arguably one of MS's biggest IPs!

But either ways, I think bringing MCC to PC would be a good move for MS after Halo 5 comes out because if the main strengths of the Halo franchise is its multiplayer and community, then most likely the fans of the franchise will be looking to get Halo 5 when that comes out and not going to bother with MCC after that. So they should release MCC for PC as a way of not only making more money since PC gamers hadn't had a Halo game for a while, but also as a way of teasing them to play Halo 5

I think it might start off with exclusives MS can control or has an internal hand in. Eventually it will spread out into third party. Square Enix would probably have to announce that at E3 though, so lets hope you're right.
