Ryse Son of Rome coming to PC this fall [no port begging other games]

I didn't notice the tearing that much. It really needs to be super bad for me to see it.

It's probably not a game I would have bought when I eventually get an Xbox One but I have to admit that I will probably be tempted to buy this version just to push my PC to it's limits. It's going to be the best looking game out there bar none.
I think it has more to do with MS being DX and having a large market there, than any contract MS is allowing with devs. Shareholders want profits and not releasing an already baked IP on your other huge marketplace is not going to sit well.
Its just the reality of Microsoft being a PC / desktop focused company that runs the DX library most games runs on. Shareholders aren't stupid and they're not gonna be happy when they could increase sales by 40-60% with the flip of a DRM switch.
So the console, like their last consoles, get a lot of timed exclusives as to not undercut their appeal. But in the end, they'll open a lot of their games HP to their other marketplaces.
Many people are hoping Sony actually follows suit with PSNow. The future is being able to play a IP on any device, through an app licensed by the publisher geared to the largest audience across multiple platforms.

Publishing contracts. Granted it is not the same as owning IP, MS used to have pretty tight publishing contracts. Reason why the original mass effect was never released on PS3 outside of a packaged trilogy. Reason why Gears never graced the PS3 despite epic owning the IP.
It has been less than a year and we have had DR3 and Ryse see official announcements for release on PC. That with the rumor of the Halo collection going to PC, just all seems plausible.
I don't expect titles like Sunset Overdrive to ever come to PC but like last generation maybe the Remedy developed Quantum Break will. Speculation of course but one with an eye looking at the past.

Man this game probably looks awesome at 1440 @ 60 fps.

Don't worry, Sony will counter this by releasing PS Now on Windows.
I bought Mass Effect 1 on PS3 separately. Granted it was download only, but it was definitely separate.

another reason not to buy the XO, they should really drop "only on xbox" because most games are coming to other platforms.

We get that you love the game but an average review score in the 6/10 range points to it being a pile a poop.
That's especially true if you believe (as I do) that reviewers overscore games in general. So for something to get these scores, it must be pretty bad.
Two isn't really 'most'.

Wat?
If the scale is 6-10 then sure, 6/10 = poop?
But theres a whole lot below 6... including most of the entire range of numbers.
Some might consider it average or mediocre but it's not bad. Nothing broken about it. Personally, I enjoyed it for what it was.
Are you honestly implying that PC gaming is depending on Microsoft published games? Are you high?

and that is the real problem.
the lack of first party studios and IP's was an issue for MS and the 360 during it's last 3-4 years, what they should have done during those years is invest in studios instead of third party deals. I knew from the moment those third party exclusives were announced that they would eventually make it over to other platforms, it was only a matter of time.
Dead Rising 3
Plants VS Zombies: GW
RYSE
Peggle 2 (probably)

Will probably pick it up during the Steam Winter sale. I really have zero interest in it otherwise.

Weird, on the one hand I like that it is coming to a platform I own, on the other hand it is 1 less reason to buy a Xbone which I was getting warmed up to. Now if that Amazon listing of Halo MCC PC happens to be true I will not be able to justify buying the console anytime soon.

Wasn't aware it was available separately. Either way it took 5 years before that game saw a port.

Xbox one fans shouldn't even be mad tbh, thus game deserves to be played in all its unlimited glory, at least now the extreme hate for this game can subside now an everyone will see why a lot of us enjoyed it

Either that or MS agreed to it. Remedy asked MS if they could port Alan Wake to PC and they said yes but MS didn't publish it, nor did they publish State of Decay Steam even though they own it so perhaps they just said yes but we're not going to do it, or something

Haha, goddamn I was already sceptical about true exclusives on XBO after what happened with 360 but I didn't expect it to happen this fast. Less than a year and we already have/are getting DR3+Ryse and rumours about MCC. Good for me since I don't own a xone. Will check out when reasonably priced since Ryse seems to be a little dividing.
And if that logic actually plays out, MS has killed their own console by not locking down exclusives.
I'm guessing not.
I'm also guessing that MS doesn't have identical contracts for all of it's games.
Also, no port begging.
The game is awesome. I am hoping this may even sale enough for crytek or done one to continue this into a series.

This was my first thought as well.
Who is port begging? I was asking can it be done.
Exactly. PC gamers will recognize it for what it is: Screenshot and new GPU fodder. It's an over-glorified tech demo.

...how is it not port begging?
And how are we supposed to know the intricate details of a contract between Microsoft and Insomniac?

Next gen tips:
1º - Buy a PS4 for Multiplat + third party exclusives + First party exclusives.
2º - Buy a WiiU for First party exclusives.
3º - Buy a good GPU for your PC(you have a PC right?) and then double dip the multiplats when summer sale starts to enjoy the ultra graphics/framerate/resolution/mods and,of course,wait for Xone "exclusives" to come out on PC.
4º - Don't buy a Xone! you already have all the games.

Are you being disingenuous? Do you really think most reviewers use the whole scoring spectrum?

I can't imagine these once-exclusive Xbox One games coming to the PC is actually good for future Xbox One sales. It doesn't exactly spur you to buy a system does it.
