This likely ensures it'll have a Scorpio update. I wonder if that means VR as well.

RESIDENT EVIL 7 is an Xbox Play Anywhere title (Buy once, play on PC and X1)

Cross play isn't necessarily a feature of Play Anywhere (i.e. Gears 4). Play Anywhere is just cross buy and cross save

Ahh, though there is cross-play in Gears 4... in horde mode anyway.

Pretty cool.
Still hard to convince me to buy on windows store when it's available on steam.

Vive is just a device for OpenVR. Microsoft is supporting VR and AR devices in a significant way with their Creators Update or whatever in a couple months. We'll see what that means for Windows Store content when it rolls out.
Also, Microsoft demos Vives and Rifts at their stores.
There is, but not in PvP modes.
They have turned that on/off a few times but Play Anywhere just means you get access to the game anywhere you can use your MS account with the saves/stats or whatever.

I would definitely consider it if they offer more cross play titles (even if I don't own an Xbox).
It would be a great incentive for multiplayer games that don't get as much traffic on PC but do on Xbox.

This seems like more of a shot at PS4 right now. I can't imagine many PC only gamers caring much about owning a console version too and leaving Steam to deal with the MS Store. Scorpio and more MS hardware solutions could change that up in the future I guess.

Gabe said Vive isn't lock down to any store, It's up to Capcon if they will add it.
Yeah there really isn't anything MS can do to slow down steam even if they wanted too. Which I'm not convinced they do. Steam helps keep Windows relevant and the desires of the Windows team might be different than Xbox.
Your original post mentioned there possibly being a problem with KBM users versus controller users. You were clearly referring to PvP modes, as was I. The problem you proposed doesn't need to exist, as cross play PvP is not a requirement for multiplayer games, as seen in Gears 4. (Yes, I know there was that one test weekend, emphasis on test)

pc only for your "offline pc"
you can't be online with your xbl account and play the same game at the same time on xbox and pc

Play Anywhere is only useful to you if Xbox One is your main gaming platform. I thought some of you would have figured that out now.

Same here. Was on the fence about this game but my interest is piqued thanks to Play Anywhere + Xbox game sharing

That's what I'm thinking too.

Man, I hope all of them.
Nothing because Gears of War exist on the same platform and system.
Nothing. The Forza engine is to custom build for consoles. Hopefully that improve in the future. And then we have Gears 4 wich is maybe the best optimized game of the last years on PC.

There was an indie game in early access. Though AAA it's probably the first (of hopefully many)
because or maybe you will buy it on xbox? the option is not hurting anyone
They're dismissive because it's Xbox/Windows Store.
It's like double anti-MS.
Play Anywhere usually means better deals for Xbox. Worked that way with FH3 and Gears at least.

Yep I said this a month or so back. Scorpio, Xbox One, Windows Store will soon all share the same pool. Scorpio dev kits will be the basis of development helping to ensure devs making Win10 games now will be able to bring the benefits to Scorpio right away. It's likely Capcom doing the ground work right now so that when Scorpio is here, the work is already done. They were already making a Win10 version anyways so the work for Scorpio is essentially "done" for them already

Finally, first big third party, brand new Play Anywhere game that people will care about.
I'm not interested in the initiative right now as I'm still buying boxed software for my One and my PC wouldn't be able to run the games, but it's useful for those that want it and MS's commitment to Play Anywhere always seemed pathetic when it was only really first party games and the odd third party game (like Shadow Complex remastered) that were guaranteed to support it.
But yeah, this is huge. While PlayStation developers wrapped up cross-purchasing with smaller, indie titles, nearly every big game must be bought separately on PS4 or PS Vita because of the development costs involved in making the second version. Repackaging an existing PC game on the Windows/Xbox Store isn't going to be anywhere near as much work as making a Vita version, so hopefully other publishers are onboard.

Guess I'll go Xbox over PS4, don't have a VR set so nothing of value is lost
This had nothing to do with the fact that it was Play Anywhere. It was just a poor port. Compare to Gears, which ran buttery smooth.
I really hate this mindset. This is why we cant have nice things. Its all about Options.
I went from mildly interested on this game to very interested just for this opportunity of having "two copies" with cross-saving.
think so. MS-Rift partnership it is?

Same... still gonna wait on reviews though. DR4 not being play anywhere makes wven less sense now..

This is pretty cool, but I'm still getting the game on PS4 because of PSVR support. I played the demo everywhere, and it's easily the best in VR.
