Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One lost another exclusive

Eh, I guess for this game it doesn't matter too much.

Great news for me. My pc can easily handle this. If the reviews are good i might give it a go.



This will keep happening throughout the generation. On the bright side though, hardly anyone is interested in Fable Legends so its not a big deal if it goes to PC.

I wonder if this makes a difference now that you can stream XBone games onto PC via Windows 10? (if this game is one of the games you can stream)


huh?

you will be able to stream all games.

On the home page article titled " Microsoft Announce Xbox One Streaming...." here on VGC wrote: "During its Windows 10 live event Microsoft's head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, announced that you will be able to stream certain Xbox One games on your Windows 10 devices, including PC and tablets."

So I assume only selective XB One games can be streamed or am I misunderstanding this?


No idea why he would say that, or if he did.  Its a simple streaming service.  I dont see why the actual game would make any difference.

Presumably you're correct about that it can stream all games, how to you think this will affect PC gaming/gamers?  I guess XB One exclusive games coming to PC are just for those that do not own/want an XBox One?



fable sucks more with every new title, so it's surely no great loss. it's like screamride suddenly going to pc (which it will eventually): no-one would be surprised and no-one would bat an eyelash. it doesn't help that it's so damn easy to "port" to pc, since ps4/xbone have basically the same architecture.

so you looked at the specs?


Believe it or not I didn't. I made an educated guess and said yeah my pc could easily handle this. It's great to have these games made available to me.

you know how shareplay give developers the option to "opt out" and even though most games support it CoD (i think) disables the feature.   ...could be like that.  developer relationships can be a touchy thing and while i don't see a ton of gamesharing occuring because of this feature i could see publishers being scare of gamesharing.   i wouldn't be surprised to hear ms enabled an opt-out feature for publishers.



Welcomed.

My interest isn't particularly high in this game because Fable has been a pretty underwhelming series for me based on past performance, but Fable meets Dungeon Keeper is something I'll have to check out for the right price.



Likely a good move for Fable Legends (and i expect financially overall), but it's not going to do anything to improve the current perception many PC gamers have of the X1 as "unnecessary". It's pretty common for PC gamers to buy a console for exclusives (just like how many console gamers buy a 2nd console), and while they obviously don't make up a global majority, they aren't an obscure minority either, no matter how much some seem to wish they were ^^

If MS believe it's an overall more profitable plan then i can understand the decision, but it'll certainly be to the benefit of Nintendo and Sony too. Impossible to say by how much though.



At this point, if a PC game is not on Steam, I won't consider getting it anyway.  And the loss of exclusitivity for the X1 is only a problem for the Xbots who have their self esteem bound in having exclusive games for their gamiing console of choice.  Factually it is a lost cause becuace the PS4 simply has more games and exclusives right now and into the near future.  Whether you like them or not is subjective however...
