Even though I would love to see Halo on PC we've been lied to and shot down so many times that I am not even going to bother watching the livestream and wait for the recap. Microsoft even treats their console users like crap so I'm not buying into their ecosystem anymore. I'd rather buy a WiiU than get a Xbone or even a PS4.

 

To everyone, do not get excited and just wait. If it's something good then great, but if it's something bad then you don't get your excitement shot down.

Microsoft is well know for giving false hopes to Pc gamers for the past 10 years.

Microsoft will be accompanied by a few game developers during the Windows 10 launch. The focus is to launch Windows 10 and showcase DirectX 12 with the launch of a few DirectX 12 game titles on the same day. Tho DirectX 12 isn't all too special as it's essentially Mantle and OpenGL 5 will be low level as well. So all of the standard graphics API's will be low level before you know it. Which is good news for gamers of all sorts running Windows, Linux, and even OS X.

Why haven't they created Xbox Live for PC yet? Cross buy/save/play. It just makes sense. Get away from hardware and focus on software and ecosystem.

GFWL is as far as they dared take it. Back in the Xbox 1 days MS did extensive testing on cross platform play, they found that in almost all scenarios (except racing and some sports) M&K beats gamepad, by a lot, a huge amount, like so much the console players literally don't stand a chance.

I believe one MS title (shadowrun) had cross platform play, after that they abandoned it.

They ported it for the dx12 preview, said they had 2 guys work on it for 2 months to get it done, when asked if they will release the port, MS said "nope"...

This is LTT. One cannot force "style over substance" values & agenda on people that actually aren't afraid to pop the lid off their electronic devices, which happens to be the most common denominator of this community. Rather than take shots at this community in every post, why not seek out like-minded individuals elsewhere?

Why would MS ever release Forza on Windows. They were planning on selling a BILLION Xbox One's. Now they want to get back into PC Gaming? No thanks. The only feeling I get when seeing "MS wants to get involved with PC Gaming" is fear and for good reason. Good thread on it.
