They went out and got that Kinect platformer game (you use your body to open new areas and use your controller to move your character).
 
Hyper Light Drifter????????????? I'm crying right now (I really wanted to hear this - now I'm actually planning on picking up a Xbox One).

YAYYYYY

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?
MS is supposedly working with developers that already had contracts in place. So more likely on XBO later than PC/PS4.
This is the most likely / best option. Then again, iirc, it's built in Unity so if the roadmap is still on track it should port super easy.

y'all should be ashamed

Yeah I'm surprised Unity for XB1 isn't available yet...thought for sure we'd get something at GDC.

it'll still be on PS4 this just means the PS4 version won't release until the Xbox One version is (damn launch parity)

edit: if any of these games end up getting delayed to meet the launch parity clause I personally will refuse to buy them at full price
 
Wasn't this same list released a few weeks ago?

Now, Xbox One owners are about to see the results, with ID@Xbox games due to be released in the Xbox store in the coming weeks.

so are these just the first wave, or are only some of these are "in the coming weeks"?

either way, looking forward to super time force!

Never heard of Hyper Light Drifter. I'm guessing by peoples' reaction that it's really cool. Glad they got that one Kinect controlled platformer.
 
Hyper Light Drifter deserves all the downloads it can get from what they've shown of it. I'm almost positive I'll be double dipping on it with PC, then PS4/Vita cross-buy.
