I doubt Sony will their 1st Party stuff on PC. They'll keep doing what they're doing, sharing their 3rd party titles with the PC community. Microsoft has a different reason for the supporting the PC this way, and maybe it's better for them. 

 

* adjusted the OP to reflect the official news *

Short term yes Sony will want to keep their first party games exclusive, but in the long term Sony and all Platform holders are going to want their online stores on as many platforms as possible imo.

When you say long term, how many years from now do you have in mind for that to happen?

Not a big deal really. Exclusives require distinctions nowadays and the distribution of media makes it easier to make a game accessible to many platforms. The usual Xbox fans blaming PS4 owners, not realizing that 95% of games available on XOne run better + look better on PC or PS4.

I don't realize what your last sentence has to do with this topic 😐 seems unnecessary..

Back on topic.. X1 is still the only console to play this game with. Sure PC owners can play it but others need to buy either platform. I haven't been expecting QB to be a huge system seller anyway, but there's always some demand for consoles over PC. Hopefully this will result to more hype over this game now that any gamer with PC is able to play it and it should benefit X1 sales too.

Except this is a gaming forum, not a house-owning vegetarian tax-payer forum. The point being made is that Nintendo and Sony fans don't have to buy an Xbox to play this game.

Only if they have a gaming PC and only because of their gaming PC, not thanks to their console choice. 

Give credit where credit is due... don't try to shift the credit from PC to your favorite console.

Let's also try to remember that the original post did give credit to PC? You're arguing over the semantics of wording. It's unbecoming.

I'm arguing about spinning facts (you need a microsoft gaming system to play Quantum Break, either an XBO or a Windows10-PC) in different directions (by adding "PS4 and WiiU owners" although these systems doesn't make the Quantum Break experience on PC any better).

Would you be okay with spins like the following?

  • Gravity Rush on PS4 - "Well this is good news for 3DS and Xbox owners who don't have a PSVita that want to play this game and have the proper PS4 to play this."
  • Hyrule Warriors Legends on 3DS - "Well this is good news for Playstation and Xbox owners who don't have a Wii U that want to play this game and have the proper 3DS to play this."
  • The Last of Us on PS4 - "Well this is good news for PC and Wii U owners who don't have a PS3 that want to play this game and have the proper PS4 to play this."


Why Scalebound, Crackdown 3 and Quantum Break aren't coming to PC

Tom Senior 

Microsoft showed Crackdown 3, Scalebound and Quantum Break at the Xbox conference this week. If Microsoft are planning to make Windows 10 part of the Xbox ecosystem, why not bring those games to PC? We put the question to head of Microsoft's Xbox division, Phil Spencer.

"In the case of things like Scalebound or Crackdown or Quantum Break, you know, just to be completely honest with you, we started those games before we really looked at expanding into Windows in the way that I wanted to bring as part of becoming head of Xbox.

"Going to those teams mid-cycle and saying: ‘Hey, by the way, I want to add a platform,’ didn’t really feel like necessarily the best way to end up with the best result for the game. They had a path that they were on. It’s not to say those games could never come to Windows, but right now we’re on the path to finish the great games that they’ve started, and I want that to be the case. These games are on a path, whereas with, like, Halo Wars 2 I had the opportunity from the beginning, when we’re sitting down with the studio, to say, ‘Here’s the target. Here’s what we wanna go do.’

"Even with Gears, like the Gears 1 remake, we thought about framerate, we thought about multiplayer. The opportunity to bring it to Windows in a refreshed way felt like a great opportunity from the beginning. I’m trying to be more deliberate in the choices that we make."

It sounds like more Xbox games could appear on PC, but only if MS feels they suit the platform. Spencer also implied that we could see some series from Microsoft's past return "purely on PC".

"What I’d say is, my goal is to bringto build—great PC games, and I think there’s some great PC games that can come from the things that we’ve done on console, but that’s not the only place that they would come from. And there might be some games in our console portfolio that don’t work on PC, and vice versa. 

"I look at the franchises that we have on console and I think there are some franchises that can work really well on PC. I also think about some of the things in our past, as Microsoft, that we used to have on PC, and say, ‘Boy, wouldn’t it be great if we brought some of these games back purely on PC.’"

I definitely want to build out our Windows games portfolio, and we’re making slow progress on that.

"So I’m stating it again, I’m kind of less in the broad sweep of, ‘Everything should be over here and over there,’ because I think in certain instances that might not be the right model, but I definitely want to build out our Windows games portfolio, and we’re making slow progress on that. But slow in a way that I think is good, because we’re being deliberate about the games that we’re deciding and make sure we have a real plan."

Fable Legends and Halo Wars 2 are part of that plan. Fable is set to take full advantage of DirectX 12, and The Creative Assembly are on board to make Halo Wars 2, which was announced earlier this week at Gamescom. What would you like to see Microsoft bring back from the past? Age of Empires, perhaps?

So guys, can we take a second and talk about how much Crapgamer is freaking out over this? It's amazing. Jesus, you'd think he was cheated on.

Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

This is all Phils fault to be honest.  Crap is fucked up in the head and so are the members of his cult, but Phil - being the good guy - always validated their supity by responding.  Then, Crap started thinking that he mattered... lol I know its crazy.  Phil did this to us.  I think he confused 'hardcore dedication' with 'bat shit insanity'... they are very similar after all.
