During the E3 2015 PC Gamer conference, Phil Spencer has announced that Killer Instinct is indeed making the leap over to the PC! It’s coming people, that survey that was making the rounds earlier this year has paid off!
I'm sure this is a start of all Xbox games going to PC. Now watch ms come out with some clause to make PC games go to Xbox if u want ur games on PC windows 10
The first Gears appeared on PC. KI is a good move.
But 'killing the Xbox brand'? Lmao. Wishful thinking from some.
If people genuinely believe that MS is gonna leave Xbox in the lurch by making amazing games for it then porting them all to PC, well they are supremely naive.
Considering Quantum Break is being made by Remedy, expect a PC release. If the Gears remaster is going to PC you may also want to prepare for a PC release for Gears 4 as well. You also forgot about Fable Legends.
Agreed. Mind you, Gears Ultimate is just a port of Gears 1 with the series MP, Gears 1 was already on PC before. XONE still has a good few exclusives to pick from, but I have to admit in terms of new ips only found on XONE, its getting a bit sparse.
"Final fantasy 7 PC and maybe X1" That is a huge maybe, I actually don't think its ever going to make it on the XONE. Consider none of the other older FF's have even been ported XONE, hell even the steam version of FFVII isn't coming to XONE and its clearly a cheaper port to do.
Like Star Ocean 5, the tales games, Persona, Yakuza etc I don't see it going to XB. It might be a risk thing as I feel they are not sure they can even cover the port cost if put on XONE, consider they would only get huge returns from the west...of a JRPG, of a system that is non-existent in Japan. I feel if they where going to do that, we would have already seen years ago many of those FF titles ported to XBL like they were on PSN and even Steam.
Using the "that are IPs that they own" argument? That makes no sense. None of the 4 games you mentioned at the top of your post are Sony IPs anyway. I can make a list like yours that are PS4 exclusives:
The Last Guardian Uncharted 4 Until Dawn Ratchet & Clank Dreams Horizon
Ms is just sticking to their plan of One Eco system. You were already going to be able to stream these games to your PC, and they are trying to make cross platform play a big thing with their games, which this is also gonna be. If they can use their Xbox like a steam box (which is exactly what I think they are planning) a universal PC running Windows 10 allowing multiplayer across both systems then why wouldn't they release it for PC and get an even Broader market with the potential for even more game sales, which is where these companies make the money, not on console sales as much. The Xbox will just be an entry level uniform gaming PC. Which I am happy to own.
Same with me, i tend to play strategy games on my PC. Although it still begs the question, wouldnt the games coming to PC somewhat deminish the desire to obtain the console?
I'll tell u why that is. Playstation exclusives in general stay 100% exclusive to Playstation where almost every xbox exclusive end up being on PC. So yeah people in general going to say PS4 and PC are a good combo together and I agree with that. Heck even Wii u and PC are a good combo together cause well you'll never see Nintendo games on PC.
That's because the last time i checked Sony didnt own the most widely used PC OS in the world. Im pretty sure if Sony did then we would see them release games on there too.
This is certainly cool, and welcome news. I've wanted to play this game for a while, but just don't feel compelled to get an X1 (mind you I don't think it is a bad system, just not compelling enough for me to spend another console amount of money).
This is not bad news at all, now you can play it whether you have a Microsoft Xbox or a Microsoft WindowsBox. Cross play with Xbox Users would be nice too, more people playing to keep games going longer. Personally i don't have the time or $ to keep a PC updated every 6 months and getting the settings just right to play, that why i only do console gaming. But this opens up the field for me to play cross play with my friends who just have a PC.
This is good for the xbox brand PC and X1 are married now when u buy it on PC Microsoft still gets revenue X box just got bigger fucc u sony with yo stingy ass
I can't wait to play all of these X1 exclusives on my PC. PC/PS4 combo is looking really good atm.
there's only one thing that makes Killer Instinct stand out from other fighting games: Cocococombooooo Breakers!!!!
Its funny to see people criticize Xbox/PC games but turn around and praise PlayStation/PC games
