Wut, I really thought that the PC version of Need for Speed was out already lol.
About Scalebound and other Xbox One games on PC... we all know they are coming at some point, even if the Gamespot thing was a mistake
Anyway, literally the only reason I want an XB1 now is because of Rare Replay, but it's not something that I'm dying to play (and I'm just interested in the Xbox 360 games, of course).

I barely remember anything about the Jack the Ripper DLC, and that was after watching a playthrough of it. Now they expect me to give a shit about a DLC that's (probably) centered around the most bland character in the game (Henry)?

Persona 5 is still coming to PS3, right?

I wonder in the west. A lot of japanese publishers seem to only release the PS4 version in the west and both versions in Japan.
It won't come to the west, Dragon Quest Heroes had a PS3 version that's stuck in Japan

The directors' commentary for Life is Strange is really cool. I recommend it.
Unrelated, but the trailers for Californium show a lot of stuttering, as pointed out on the SPUF.
Also the games does not seem to have a huge audience.

No. I would love to play the Need for Speed games. But only if they were on Steam.

Wow, you weren't kidding about the stuttering.
But the game does look quite interesting, so I think I'll keep an eye on it and see if that was just a problem with the trailers or if the game actually runs like that.

Yup.
Man, that would be so awesome.
Woah. I was cautiously optimistic that QB would come to PC at a later time but same day? Very surprising. Makes me glad.
Hm, can either imagine MS thinking more about maximizing profits than keeping full exclusives to entice people on Xbox or they don't see PC as a direct "threat" in the console struggle and Xbox's success.
Hard to know for sure how much Spencer's promotion had to do with this newfound PC "love". Can only imagine platform warriors on all ends frothing at their mouths at such news, hah.
Those are some requirements. Oh dang, Windoes 10/DX12 needed :'(
Sheesh. I doubt it was an actual mistake of the editor. Real nice.
This dude seems to know something and is vetted.

The salt in the Quantum Break threads is delicious.
See my earlier musings about greed and leaving money on the table
Though I can kinda see the angle they're going for here. You offer up not 1 but 2 digital copies of your game for the same price, as well as thrown in Alan Wake and its DLC as back compat on the Xbone, which on the surface looks a temping value proposition to quite a few parties. I'm sure there will be those who'd not see much in it but you essentially are offering up a product you can't trade in, so limiting used copies for what is essentially a single player game that might well be a one and done. You've also playing in the high profit realm of digital and by offering up a free sweetner of a PC version you can boast about uptake of the Win 10 store even if folks don't have a PC and/or get people on to your ecosystem by way of too. Once that has dried up to an extent, say 6-12 months down the line release it on Steam (or other services as well) and hope to pick up on those not tempted earlier.
It's a gamble and one I'm more inclined to think will not be as profitable as releasing day and date on Steam along with the Microsoft services but hey they're a company that likes the smell of their own farts so I'm not surprised.
This seems on point. It does bother me though how uncommitted they are to going all in. For example, their offer of a free Windows 10 copy of the game does not extend the other way around for those that buy the PC version getting an Xbox digital copy, and the offer is only available for a "limited time" (that I assume is because the price variance on PC vs Console will change to stay competitive with other PC games being lower price perhaps). Moving to Steam later in the line seems quite plausible, but would simply make many users click on to that and not bother with the Windows Store version anyway.
Also, pretty crazy that overlays do not work for Windows Store apps / games, which pretty much immediately rules out Windows Store copies for me anyway.

i wonder if Gamestop is holding emergency meetings to see how they'll handled all these supposed XB1s that are flooding their stores starting today.
I imagine they were caught unprepared for what has to be millions of XB1s coming in at unrelenting waves, a deluge of modern hardware that americans have suddenly turned their backs on

The "retraction" Gamespot pretty bare. All they "regret" is that they are not "confirmed for PC"

I love the logic, unaware of everything that does practically the same at no cost.
Today gets better and better. It would be nice to see Assassin's Creed do some kind of innovating or something.

It's natural when you make too much of an emotional bond with a corporation and console. If they'd only calm down and think about it logically, they'd see it's for the best of all, them included. Bigger audience → More sales → Higher chances at bigger & better sequels
It's not like Xbox owners get shafted either way. I am a bit skeptical looking at Potato Masher's recent performance that a PC similarly priced at an Xbox will give same experience.
Gamers always win by non-exclusivity. I don't see anyone loosing anything here.
I laughed so thanks for that. How can people be so angry about this, you'd think they're personally affected by it all.

Soon.
Looks like Juri got an upgrade .. or two.
Perhaps the artist based their drawing on the Kotobukiya figure that was released last year.
Not a fan of that costume, though. Hopefully her original one will still be available.

It's for the best. Syndicate was still critically mediocre, all things concerned, and the most recent Chronicles game they put out was trashed.
Seriously, all I need is a film tie-in with Fassbender voicing the lead character and a modern New York to run around and assassinate in and I'm done.

hey that's great, that sure is a hard swing from that one year recently where they released 3 of them. Now maybe i can catch up on the asscreeds
I took that as an opportunity to bumb the respective thread.

Microsoft just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about American culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Japan where you can become successful by being a polite person. If you screw someone over in America, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the American public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Quantum Break for the Xbox One, nor will they purchase any of Microsofts games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Microsoft has alienated an entire market with this move.
Microsoft, publicly apologize and cancel Quantum Break for PC or you can kiss your business goodbye.

I like Juri as well though. Maybe not to the degree Jaw does though.
Mainly posted this because Sakura was mentioned.

There's the Windows 10 event this month. I would think a few games would drop there.
