Cross-buy? No, you don't have to buy it twice.

Unity game? So my hunch may end up being right after all and ReCore may end up a 2.5D Metroidvania?

So, is ReCore a cross-buy title, confirmed? I haven't seen confirmation of that anywhere. Just that its coming to PC.

At this point it's a better investment just to upgrade my hardware than to get an XB1, it's getting long on the tooth.
That's what I'm asking Phil Spencer on twitter.
no its not confirmed. microsoft has said nothing about cross buy outside of dlc.
Oh no, I wasn't referring to anything you specifically said, I was just joking about how every thread about Phil saying they'll start supporting the PC is full of comments like "don't believe his lies"... etc.
If I remember correctly, someone tweeted that Shinobi mentioned ReCore being a third person game.
Was it you, Steve?
Post-apocalyptic action-adventure with cool robots, made by Comcept (Keiji Inafune) and Armature. It was announced at E3 and there's only a trailer so far.

We haven't actually gotten any "real" screenshots yet. What you saw were screengrabs from the CG announcement trailer.

This was my post back at E3. Just a hunch.
Putting all the pieces together:
- Unity game
- No gameplay shown despite a release soon
- So quick to go PC
My suspicion was that Microsoft are basically treating ReCore like the next Ori but this time they're marketing it as if it's a AAA retail title.
Sticking to my guns. 2.5D Metroidvania. Which actually isn't a bad thing anyway.
I don't think it was that quick to go to PC. There was a GAF thread back in August where someone found a resume with both Xbox One and PC versions mentioned.
I'd venture that a PC version was in the cards from the beginning and they shelved it for some reason.
EDIT: http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1098423
New game from Keiji inafune and the new studio from the the Director of all the of the Metroid Prime games. It's exciting.
Isn't a bad thing? With some of the key talent behind Metroid Prime on board, that's awesome. If you're right this could end up being one of the best games of 2016.

I'm just saying, the way it was being spoken about/marketed (And I'm sure GAF expectations) are of a full blown 3D world AAA adventure game.
I don't think that's what it will be regardless of what they say. Once they reveal it to be 2.5D they'll say one of two things:
1) It's still 3D graphics, we never said 3D world/movement
2) We decided to change direction, we thought it was better for the project
Personally I think it's always been a 2.5D metroidvania. Again, that's fine with me. Strider and Ori have been 2 of my favourite games this gen.
Relax with the hyperbole.
They're not going to make any of their games Windows 7 or 8 compatible, not when they're trying to increase Windows 10 upgrades. All of the games they've announced for PC are Windows 10 only.

So that's yet another reason I'm glad I didn't bite on the Xbox One and upgraded my GPU instead.

Sarcastic post?

Quantum Break and Gears 4 is basically it for me as far as exclusives go. Don't know if I'm going to pick up ReCore on PC or XB1 though.
According to Phil, they are still trying to figure that out. I hope that it is as I feel that's how it should be. If I buy a game, it should be tied to my acct and it shouldn't matter what platform i'm on (unless it offers a big reason why it should) to play it. No different than buying an iPhone game and being able to play it on an iPad.

That's why I hope it's cross-buy so I won't have to worry about that.

We still don't have any gameplay? Every major title, at least for early 2016, have gameplay footage available so that tells me either this is another game MS is saving for the "playoffs" or it's not coming this year at all.
Yea if crackdown turns out to be a multiplayer only game I'm selling my Xbone and saving the money for a NX. Too few exclusives. Got my gaming PC and PS4 too.
It's not. It's having it's multiplayer beta this summer. That's the only thing that was announced.

It was at their Gamescom conference, a collaboration between Mojang and Oxeye Studios http://playcobalt.com

As a console only gamer, I see this as great news. Windows 10 and Xbox One should share games.

I seriously doubt it. Say what you will about Microsoft's marketing but they generally don't create trailers that are not representative of gameplay.

Out this year and there is NO gameplay or even a screenshot?
I highly doubt it. Except if its a 2 hour game. Then it makes sense

These games won't be used as christmas marketing for xbox and the windows store needs stuff.
I'd use a different strategy for promoting the store. I would release all the games on windows store and steam. Then some day, fans of my games on steam can look at the windows store and see a lot of the games they already like on there. I'd focus on ways to make windows store better than steam on it's own merits to encourage users to make a choice for my store.
I'm just some guy tho. This is new microsoft. They surely know what they're doing. Unlike old microsoft.

Fallout 4 says hi.
I don't think I've ever agreed with a post in my entire life as much as I agree with this one. That would be absolutely awesome!
I imagine that there haven't even been any hints towards that though

The last Rare said in response to fans asking for this was that Rare Replay would stay a Xbox One exclusive. However, I imagine if Spencer is in the mood of resurrecting/resourcing PC ports then maybe this will make it's way over after all if the demand is there.
Spencer has said he wants to get Xbox 360 games on PC, but he didn't say if it's for sure happening. If it did happen I would assume the first-party stuff would come first.

I'm predicting that it's released as early access (Game Preview??).
Nah, they should release their titles straight to their store and only their store. Valve did it. EA did it. For all the talk about competition being good, so many people seem stuck to Steam and refuse to give anyone else a chance.
The game was in development for 14 months when they announced it, I think it's entirely possible for it to release 2016. Can it get delayed? Of course. But let's not act like it's not releasing 2016 when we have no facts to prove it so. Many games have gameplay shown years in advance and yet get delayed a year down the line. Whether we have seen gameplay or not doesn't determine when a game releases.
