Support NeoGAF

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Feature apparently only available for first party MS games.

It makes sense that they need to show Devs they are supporting it themselves. I'm not expecting any huge AAA third party games anytime soon mind you, but we will see

 

[Toki767]

? lots of non-first party games have this, apparently.

First party and indie games. Better?

 

[Traxtech]

So it's digital purchases only? Or can physical games somehow get linked to your gamer tag? Wish I knew lol

 

[Apsjdbeosnsosnsjsnaos]

This is the first I've hear of HW Definitive. When is that coming out?

Bonus for Halo Wars 2: Ultimate Edition.

Halo Wars: Definitive Edition is an enhanced version of the original Halo Wars that runs natively on Xbox One and Windows 10. Halo Wars: Definitive Edition includes improved graphics and all of the DLC created for the classic real-time strategy game.

[CrayToes]

Wish Inside was on that list.

 

[Mister Negative]

finally, I'll be able to play Ark: Survival Evolved on PC'


for real tho, the fact that Crackdown 3 is coming to PC is the best news I've heard all week. I love Crackdown more than anything.

 

[nillapuddin]

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

I also just realized that Halo Wars 2 Ultimate for $80 is a pretty nice price. Season Pass and Halo Wars Definitive for $20 extra.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Really wish we could get Halo on the list. Phil get a great team on it! It doesn't have to be 343i.

I would bet that the reason Halo isnt getting a PC port right now is the competitive scene because it sort of throws a wrench into that whole thing. Do you let m/kb players into that? If so the controller players would probably not like that, or do you just say no kb/m competitively? Maybe I'm wrong and they feel like they won't do Halo 5 justice with a good PC port.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

They just sold me on the collectors edition then.

 

[Later Alligator]

Pretty awesome, might have to cancel a few preordered xbone games and go digital as well

Hopefully they run better than Quantum Break

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

First party and indie games. Better?

That's ok with me for now. I won't be buying anything but their first party titles from their store anyway until they sort out UWP. I would encourage others who want their store to do well to do the same because the store will not thrive otherwise, it will only struggle more than is necessary against steam and others. I for one would like to see some good competition for steam. It would be great for consumers.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Just occurred to me that Halo Wars 2 will be mouse & keyboard compatible on PC, yeah? In! Was really frustrated by controller command for RTS. My brain couldn't work with it.

I wonder how powerful a PC will be needed.

Any clues?

You need a PC 4S. PC 3 can run them, but it's kinda choppy. Definitely go with the PC 4S.

I don't know why you are giving him terrible advice to buy the 4S when he could just download more ram. SMH

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Microsoft seems to be beginning to make good on that promise they made about PC gaming. This is a good direction.

Aren't all of their PC releases pretty unoptimized so far?
It's the one thing stopping me from building a rig right now

 

[j0hnnix]

🤔 should I sell the Xbox and get a 980, The Scorpio would still technically be faster correct ? 980 @ 5tflops and Scorpio is at 6? Decisions.

Nah, because nvidia your gtx will be more powerful.

 

[golem]

Select Retailers will also sell digital game codes for Play Anywhere games.

:thumbsup

 

[mdzapeer]

Wait for rx 480 reviews better or matching 980 at 200 $

 

[KingBroly]

Killer Instinct is excellent on PC

I can't vouch for anything else at the moment, but I've heard Gears 1 got patched. I dunno how Forza or QB are doing right now.

 

[blakep267]

Not really

Forza and KI have been fine( aside from that monitor thing)

Gears was okay is and QB was bad( these are all at launch)

 

[j0hnnix]

I just realized Nvidia gamestream doesn't pick up KI from the Windows 10 store..

 

[Gitaroo]

INSIDE is not play anywhere? Steam version it is then.

 

[Confidence Man]

Psyched about Phantom Dust.

 

[Fotos]

Wait Dead Rising 4 isn't on there? I thought they said it was

 

[m23]

Dead Rising may not be included because it's coming out on Steam 90 days after launch.

 

[Aztechnology]

The Anniversary update will bring a big store rehaul

My guess is that the App Store will be for stuff like Candy Crush, whilst more traditional games will be put on the Xbox App's store, but its just a guess

When is the Anniversary update coming?

 

[10k]

Now I need them to go into their backlog for Halo 5 and Sunset Overdrive. I'm cheap as fuck buy I'd pay $60 to have MCC on PC as well lol.

Won't happen, I know.

We're getting the most important part on PC for free, Forge baby!

You're not going to get much for your Xbox and buying a 980 wouldn't be worth it with the 1000 series

 

[GitarooMan]

Is there any word on wheel support for FH3 on W10?

 

[10k]

It's like a sliver of delicious cake. Such a tease.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

tbf, I was torn between getting Ark on Xbone for the game sharing or on PC so it wouldn't run like complete shit.

Now I can have the best of both worlds

 

[TharpDaddy]

Jeez Microsoft is going to be taking a lot of my money. I'm interested in nearly every one of those games.

 

[Theorry]

"Thanks for buying our games"

 

[LukasTaves]

Missing some indies:

Everspace
Slime Ranchers
The Culling

Also missing:
Phantom Dust HD
Halo Wars Definitive

Wait, is that a thing?

 

[m23]

Wait, is that a thing?

Yeah. The original game with improved graphics and all DLC, comes with ultimate edition of Halo Wars 2.

 

[LukasTaves]

Yeah. The original game with improved graphics and all DLC, comes with ultimate edition of Halo Wars 2.

Damn, that's sweet.

 

[SmartWaffles]

So it's digital purchases only? Or can physical games somehow get linked to your gamer tag? Wish I knew lol

Just like every other crossbuy solution, it will be digital only.

Is there any word on wheel support for FH3 on W10?

It was already demoed on stage on PC with a wheel so it is a safe bet it will support wheels.

 

[SpotAnime]

Wish DR4 was play anywhere.

why isn't dead rising cross buy?

ps3ud0 8

Yeah, such a strange omission.

Probably because it's only a timed exclusive. It's a console exclusive but only a 90 day exclusive on Windows 10, which means it's coming out on Steam. Likely they couldn't get Play Anywhere to work (legally) with Steam titles, so instead of not making it available to all they made it work with none.

Isn't Cuphead on Steam?

I think it has more to do with the fact that it's a third party game. Microsoft doesn't have to make the Steam version support Xbox Anywhere, that's one of benefits they'll be using to get gamers to use the Windows 10 Store.

It appears that third parties aren't on board yet, they just see it as lost revenue. Hopefully Microsoft can convince them in the future or provide other incentives for then to enable it.

 

[SOR5]

When is the Anniversary update coming?

Summer, thats all I know

 

[LordRaptor]

I would imagine the lack of Dead Rising is because Capcom remember how much money they had to spend removing GFWL from all of their titles and aren't exactly desperate to be the first to sign up to another PC gaming initiative from MS.

 

[darkinstinct]

Nice, being a more PC gamer now this is great.

You realize you only get that ability by paying the ridiculously high prices in the Xbox or Windows store? Your standard PC game sets you back $35 to $40 at launch. With Windows 10 store it is $60, like the console game. I think it's not in the sightest good value if you are a PC gamer, it's only good if you are a console gamer and want to switch to PC over the next years.

 

[Helznicht]

Just occurred to me that Halo Wars 2 will be mouse & keyboard compatible on PC, yeah? In!

Mouse Control will be great. I have been wanting to get a new RTS, this should do nicely.

Dead Rising may not be included because it's coming out on Steam 90 days after launch.

Why do you think it cant exist on both. Buy from Win Store, it pushes to both XboxPC and your console. Buy from Steam, you download PC version from steam.

Its no different on Console or PC. If you want to play FH3, you have to pay $60 for it. Sure there are alternative racing games on PC that are cheaper, but, there are other cheaper racing games on the console also.

Codes are also sold at retailers, so its very possible to get third party prices

This is awesome
