Microsoft to hold Xbox & Windows 10 Media event Feb. 25th

Windows 10

I mean... it's not just PC, it's Windows 10. That's what MS are going for, unity through Windows 10 no matter what platform. You play a game on one Win 10 platform, you continue playing on another. Buy a game on one, play it on another.

I think the best thing about this is that MS will be able to make more money off this to invest in more games. Quantum Break releasing fully on Windows 10 and not just the Xbone may single handily fund Alan Wake 2.

This is under the assumption that all PC players are just going to immediately jump on the Windows 10 platform. Quantum Break alone is not enough, but, yes, it's a start.

Xbox press event in SF with @xboxp3, news coming Tuesday.

The wait isn't that long but I do think it should have been apparent from the start that this would be the case.

The case is that Microsoft never meant for the generic public to know about the event. It was always labeled as a media event. MS didn't really need to do anything. At least they clarified when getting the info.
 

It's begun! By the way, since Phil Spencer got in charge Microsoft have been hearing fans fixing what was "wrong", so if They're really going to push Windows 10 Store for gaming even beyond just Quantum Break, i'm sure things like full screen, vsync off and Sli support will be added without many problems. Who knows, perhaps Phil was already announcing those features in that picture
 
I thought this event would have given us a few surprises today. Guess we will see Tuesday. Thought maybe they were waiting for this to give us something interesting for the March preview update.
 
Wish I was there so I can finally see
Alan Wakes Returns teaser, Phantom Dust and Battletoads

j/k although it's possible I'm right since all trademarks are up to date

No they won't because everyone already decided they won't. And everyone already decided that Microsoft's new attempt at PC gaming is GFWL2.0 and also that they don't really give a shit about the PC market.
 
Tuesday? Strange to push the embargo so far forward...

If it is really just hands on for spring titles, press needs time to type the articles. I hope for surprise announcements but I don't think anything huge is happening right now there.

That certainly is a way to sarcastically write off some actual legitimate concerns.
 
Anyway, my money is still on Halo 5 and Forza PC announcements.

You are deluded. This is not where such announcements would be made, otherwise there would be a stream.

Gears PC impressions is all I'm expecting, along with maybe some news about the Quantum Break PC version.
That's all.

I'd argue that he's not writing off concerns or concerned people, he's writing off the guys who speak about these things with perfect certainty. The time machine types, who peered into the future and speak with great authority that none of that's ever getting fixed and MS is definitely going to screw everybody over.

Give those poor press guys the time to write their articles(hopefully there will be lot to write of), edit their videos, enjoy some free doritos and perhaps rest a bit during the week-end
 
Damn I didn't realise it was press only.

Oh well, hopefully something tasty will leak. Heck I'd even be happy if someone lets us know whether to be excited or not.
 
I'm hoping it will be focussed on actual direction they are going with Windows10/Xbox integration, and not just a play session for new games. Have an actual briefing wouldn't really be required in that case. Suppose it isn't wise to hype the event up to something it isn't, announcements for new titles.

Here's hoping. Expect a flood of articles on Tuesday then.

Your example along with those that say "everything will be alright" are different sides of the same coin. Only one of those opinions derives from historical precedent.

It's always been touted as a play session for games...the fuck?

Yeah, you dont speak for everyone, so dont act like you do.
 
hype, I hope we can have some news about Gears 4: beta news, videos from SP or MP, whatever will do... Just not a PC version.

I want to see more of Scalebound too PLEASE !!!
