PC - 360 games on Windows 8? - View Post

Smart idea, but pretty complicated for devs, I'd think as every 360 game would have to have code that would no longer be maximized for a single configuration but open enough for the nearly infinite variables that exist in PC gaming.

However, I do like how MS is showing the Win8 will be almost he same thing across all product lines, PC, mobile, tablet, etc.


I don't think that's it. It sounds like they jsut maximize it on the 360 and the PC can just play that due to emulatoin or whatever. I mean, even a 6 year odl PC can play 360 games at this point so most PCs in themid low range would still be able to benefit from it without any extra developer work. If the developer felt like actually making a  lower scalability, or higher for that matter, then that's up to them.
