Support NeoGAF

NeoGAF user Shiggy spotted a mention of a PC version of ReCore on a developer's online portfolio.

RECORE
Developer: Armature Studio
Platform(s): Xbox One, PC

ReCore is an upcoming 3rd-person action adventure game being developed in partnership with Keiji Inafune, exclusive for Xbox One and Windows 10. In ReCore, you play one of the last surviving humans and team up with a variety of robot companions to travel through a hostile and mysterious world. Having just been announced, I am not at liberty to post any more details about the game just yet, but Microsoft has big plans for the game and the IP over the coming year.

He also points it out as on PC under "Experience" as well.

EXPERIENCE

Senior/Principal Designer - Armature Studios (2010 - Present)
Recore (Xbox One, PC)

Shiggy also pointed out a LinkedIn profile for another Armature Studios employee who mentioned the following. Not specifically for ReCore but, like Shiggy points out, unless Armature is working on another MS exclusive title it fits the bill. Is this the first mention of ReCore possibly running on Unity?

* Trained engineers, artists, and designers in the use of the Unity 3D engine for the content pipeline of a video game for the XBox One and PC.

(I doubt they have more than one Microsoft-exclusive title in the works)

Wouldn't be surprised in the least to see ReCore come over to Windows 10 as well as XB1.

Tsunoda went on to say that allowing people to play games "wherever they want, on whatever device they choose, and making that easy" is Microsoft's long-term goal for the overall Xbox ecosystem.

 

[Hoo-doo]

That's good news, the trailer looked rather interesting.

 

[jaypah]

Well that'd sure be welcomed!

 

[Corpekata]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Toki767]

Wonder if it'll be Cross Buy with Windows 10.

 

[Begaria]

It wouldn't surprise me. ReCore was specifically mentioned as a Xbox One exclusive during its reveal, so we'll see.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

That would be great. I'd like to see all first party titles on W10.

 

[rrc1594]

It's also AAA

 

[TVGamer]

Awesome. Don't have an Xbox One so this means I might actually be able to play it.

 

[chadskin]

Having just been announced, I am not at liberty to post any more details about the game just yet

Oops.

 

[Primethius]

It wouldn't surprise me. ReCore was specifically mentioned as a Xbox One exclusive during its reveal, so we'll see.

That's been the case with a few titles hasn't it? MS isn't entirely clear on the whole messaging game.

Sea of Thieves IIRC also was revealed as "Exclusively on Xbox" but it's a PC/X1 title. I don't think that means much anymore.

 

[ps3ud0]

More people will get to play it, that's got to be a good thing...

ps3ud0 8)

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Unity? Hmmmm...

 

[F4r0_Atak]

Cool. Is it possible that this game might be cross-buy within the Windows10 environment?

 

[Steverulez]

As I said in the other thread, the links are pretty clear in what they say although if it was a day 1 release you'd think they would have announced it 2 months ago at E3?

Phil said that Crackdown/QB/SB aren't launching on PC because they were already well in the works on XB1 and ReCore was 14 months in development at E3.

Nice for PC owners if true, though

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

It's supposed to be dropping by June 2016 at the latest, right?

Hope we see gameplay soon

 

[kiddCharlemagne]

Does make sense. Phil Spencer is out to obliterate the line between PC and Xbox

 

[biglittleps]

It should be said as Windows 10 (MS store) version not PC version.

 

[MaLDo]

Unity? Hmmmm...

No buy. Next?

 

[LewieP]

I don't want to use the awful Windows App Store so put it on steam too please.

 

[-MD-]

It should be said as Windows 10 (MS store) version not PC version.

Hows that not the same thing?

 

[viveks86]

Fine by me!

 

[lumi7890]

Awesome. It looked really interesting at e3. Ao i can't wait to play it.

 

[biglittleps]

Hows that not the same thing?

You can't get this game on Steam and play in OS other than Windows 10. MS trying to make Windows 10 as another gaming platform and combining their store between Windows 10 and Xbox for their exclusives.

 

[Shari]

Hows that not the same thing?

Windows 10 is just an OS. There are more.

 

[Toki767]

Hows that not the same thing?

Yeah that seems silly. It's like saying new EA games are only on Origin and not PC.

 

[ashecitism]

That's been the case with a few titles hasn't it? MS isn't entirely clear on the whole messaging game.

Sea of Thieves IIRC also was revealed as "Exclusively on Xbox" but it's a PC/X1 title. I don't think that means much anymore.

It was announced as "Xbox exclusive. Xbox One and Windows 10". ReCore was announced as "Xbox One exclusive".

 

[metareferential]

Hows that not the same thing?

Like this:

I don't want to use the awful Windows App Store so put it on steam too please.

People will never be happy. Port begging to the next level xD

 

[JaggedSac]

This will be the modus operandi for the future.

 

[DieH@rd]

For me it is too early to get excited, no matter on what platform it will end up. I know nothing about this game, and CGI trailer is not cutting it for me.

 

[Primethius]

It was announced as "Xbox exclusive. Xbox One and Windows 10". ReCore was announced as "Xbox One exclusive".

Are you sure? My mistake then. Could've sworn I saw the Xbox logo only.

 

[LiK]

not surprising at all. of course it'll be exclusive to Win 10.

 

[ashecitism]

Are you sure? My mistake then. Could've sworn I saw the Xbox logo only.

No, you're right, I rewatched that part of the briefing. It was indeed Xbox One exclusive. The trailer and articles afterwards had it as XB1 and Win10. My bad.

[Kezen]

Would be very smart on MS's part, they really need to bolster that list of exclusives to the W10 Store if they intend to turn PC gaming into a healthy stream of revenue for them.

I have no interest whatsoever in Recore though, so I won't buy it.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

not surprising at all. of course it'll be exclusive to Win 10.

That's not a bad thing.

 

[Hoo-doo]

W10 simply means PC. Steam, Origin, GOG, W10 app store, who cares. That's just the delivery method.

 

[AmuroChan]

Sea of Thieves IIRC also was revealed as "Exclusively on Xbox" but it's a PC/X1 title. I don't think that means much anymore.

As was Tomb Raider lol.

 

[Dog Problems]

W10 simply means PC. Steam, Origin, GOG, W10 app store, who cares. That's just the delivery method.

Like, a generic catch-all term? I'll be able to purchase it on Steam and run it on Windows 7?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

If true then I now care about the games happenings.

 

[Helznicht]

Wonder if it'll be Cross Buy with Windows 10.

This. I have an Xbone and a Gaming PC. I have pretty much written off buying anything from Microsoft moving forward until they make good on their Cross-Buy/Cross-Play plans. How do I know whats going to be available tomorrow, they haven't released any info. I wanted to buy Ori off Steam during the summer sale, but honestly I would rather buy it full price with Cross-Buy on PC and Xbox. So I sit and wait for them to make some kind of announcements/plans/commitments. ReCore will likely be the same.

 

[Jawmuncher]

For a game that is to release in the middle of next year, there sure is a odd emptiness of gameplay.

 

[F4r0_Atak]

You can't get this game on Steam and play in OS other than Windows 10. MS trying to make Windows 10 as another gaming platform and combining their store between Windows 10 and Xbox for their exclusives.

Does that mean with Street Fighter V... it's gonna be available only on Steam? Therefore, not "compatible" with the PC-to-Xbox One stream... just wondering.

 

[GarciaHotspur]

cool !

 

[AmuroChan]

For a game that is to release in the middle of next year, there sure is a odd emptiness of gameplay.

I don't know how involved Inafune really is with this game, but I wonder if this has anything to do with Mighty No. 9 being delayed.

 

[shiftplusone]

this is just an "oops we aren't talking about that" kind of slip right?

I expect the PC confirmation to be offered only at the end of a 1 million dollar kickstarter campaign about starting the recore multimedia franchise

 

[Steverulez]

For a game that is to release in the middle of next year, there sure is a odd emptiness of gameplay.

We haven't seen any gameplay? Unless that is what you meant

 

[Toki767]

It's Armature so I won't get my hopes up. Their one original game (Arkham Origins Blackgate) wasn't anything special.

 

[Nzyme32]

Great! Although, my only interest for the game so far are the words "from the makers of mertroid prime". They'd have to show the actual game for me to really get interested in it

 

[Maxrunner]

Ms sure likes Nintendo ips and their history...

 

[king grimlock]

MS most likely thought this exact thought yet they still invested.
