Quantum Break rated for PC in Brazil
- Thread starter nbnt
- Start date
I think it's coming as well to PC, but they do not have a good record (Brazilian here) they also rated Gears of War 3, Halo 4 and Halo ODST, Forza Horizon 2 for PC a long time ago, example:
I would take this as a grain of salt
Dreams have been broken this day.Lol just checked the actual site, just some games which were rated for pc in addition to xbox by them I could find within 20 secs:
halo 3, halo 4, halo reach, gears of war 3, gears of war judgement, forza 4
So this rating says absolutely nothing unfortunately...
Edit: Damn, beaten....
What's wrong with them? I personally agree with those sentiments. With more and more Xbox games coming to PC I'm definitely considering selling my Xbox (and losing the xbl sub) and getting a gaming PC.

I find it unlikely but I'll sell my Bone today if that's the case.

Maybe it's not about not wanting to give give Microsoft extra money but more about not wanting a box under your tv that you no longer have any reason to use?
I'm in the same boat to be honest. I'll just get rid of mine if this game comes to the PC. Yes I'll miss out on Forza but I can live with that this gen considering the fact that we are pretty blessed as far as racing games go so far this gen.

Welp, there it is.
Maybe they don't mind giving microsoft money but prefer to play on PC?

How reliable is it...the information, I mean? Does a rating equate to an announcement on the verge of being made?
I am interested in the game, but my budget does not allow me to get another console and feed three plateforms, so buying a PC version would be great.

I'll wait for the PC version and sell my One if true.

Keep adding value to Xbox Live subs (although tbf given they can be had for £20~ they might not need to), good sales, decent GwG titles and ensure XBL works well then I don't think there is much they need to do.
I'd say they were doing alright with that anyway so I'm not sure sure what else they can do, the amount of people who will bin their consoles/online multiplayer subs for PCs due to free online multiplayer is surely pretty small anyway otherwise they'd have already done it

It's more of a narrative problem in the long run. People will eventually feel taken advantage of if you offer the same services for free on Win10 PCs vs Xbox consoles. I don't think most XBL users are bothered by the sub because it is good value for dedicated servers awesome party chat etc but that changes if you offer the same for free to others. I don't think GwG is going to make up for that feeling.
Easy for us to say but there are people out there who don't care about deals or gwg. I have friends who do nothing but play FIFA or COD and that's the only reason they buy XBL. Even if I tell them about the good games with golds they say they're not interested because they'll never play it. Unless they start offering COD and FIFA day 1 on gwg, then they will never care about the other benefits. They'll still pay for it because they're console games but they're gonna be pretty pissed about it.
I'd still pay for gold for the free games even if they removed multiplayer from it, but knowing that you have to pay for MP while they offer the same service to PC for free is bullshit to me but I know they can't charge on PC. That's why I think barring F2P multiplayer games, 99% of the games that go on PC will be single player focused. Maybe a few remaster like Gears here and there, but any game that's MP focused will stay Xbox only IMO.
I think it'll happen but probably not for a while and I don't think this rating is indicative of anything.

Most (myself included) seem to think it'll happen.. eventually. Probably not as soon as this (since removed) rating listing would imply.
it will happen around the same time halo 3 is released on pc.

It seems like a narrative problem among people within a more knowledgable and willing to switch community. Joe who mainly buys Fifa, COD, Destiny, Madden, Halo, Gears etc to play with his buddies isn't going to care its on PC for free. Ok it might not be for MS stuff but its already free on PC now and it doesn't cut into it much.
Clearly MS (and also Sony) don't feel their console business is threatened much by PCs popularity
Those people also probably aren't going to switch to PC though, so MS don't have a problem there. The people that come up with the narrative are also likely to be the ones that actually think "oh, more new stuff in my gold sub? ok cool".
For the ones that don't like it free on PC, they can go and play on PC if they want and MS will still get paid, but MS want a cut of both pies and I really don't think they will see any sort of significant effect on their console business if they were to put Halo and Gears on PC too, we'll find out if (when) they do it.
Honestly, for PC with Live sub...MS just has to come out with a compelling reason to buy into it. Obviously not a mandatory thing like on console (console provides a sure guarantee of stuff that isn't true for PC...that's why they can do that). Obviously GWG is easiest thing to see but MS has to be smart about it because that subscription goes to XBL as well (so if you have a PC and Xbox...it's shared).
So they have to find things that entice gamers on PC to spend money on something, it could be something as easy as a certain percentage off of games like EA Access and early access to games like EA Access...shit, basically EA Access but for PC. Obviously it would be tough for them to sell that because how the PC market it...it's very competitive pricing wise.
Either way, it's going to be interesting what they do on PC. They may not do anything just because most people don't look at the PC as an infringing business to the console business. No one is complaining about having to pay for PS+ for SFV and it's cross-play with PC. I would just keep going until you see a reason for it.

Yeah, and we all know that 1,657,014 ± 28,275 of legit Alan Wake PC owners don't count because some other million has pirated the game.

Despite it being removed from the site I still think its coming to PC just give it time
That may end up being the case, sure. I'm not saying that MS will absolutely and most definitely release its Win10 games on Steam.

It is really not that weird. They probably submit it at the same time as the the xbone version to save them having to go through the process twice. This does not indicate same day release at all.

Why do you find it unlikely that a Remedy game would come to PC? Particularly noting that A) every Remedy game has come to PC B) Remedy seem open to the idea C) Microsoft have talked about their commitment to Windows as a gaming platform.
OK, the third point has been a red herring for years, but still.... this seems far more likely than Halo and Forza to me, especially since Microsoft has basically accepted they can't "win" this generation by virtue of the Xbox One alone.

Isn't this what Blow did for Witness?
Seems like a cost saving measure incase they decide to release on PC.
A Remedy and P* game on the same console...oh if 2013 turned out differently...
