I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
It comes free with Windows 10.
Provided you own it on the Xbox One and stream it from there.

If it went the other way I'd probably get some use out of my xbone.

But you could just buy some device dedicated to steam in home streaming and it would be cheaper than a X1. Dunno what to think about that.

DF has been super quiet about this. I don't think I'll ever understand them.

Well, we're getting it day and date with GoG I'd imagine so... I'm in no rush. They'll get my money.
As an aside, if the person with a private profile named "Gaara" who has sent me a friend request on Steam for the third time is from here, I apologize, but I don't accept invites from private profiles. If it is someone from this thread, feel free to PM me and let me know.

They probably worked out some deal with GOG to focus on it for the PC version up until release. If release day comes and it's not on Steam then I'll be concerned.
You get First party exclusives, console exclusives and PC streaming device in one. That is not bad deal

This was an event showing their plans for Win 10 with a bunch of journos sitting there. Announcing Fable made sense, since it's not a heavy hitter. Halo is for gaming events, since it's big.

Still getting nausea from Alien: Isolation. Turned VFOV to 65 and turned off motion blur and that helped somewhat. Can't wait for the actual game to start though, the contrast between this and Evil Within is kinda weird:
Evil Within was straight to the point and so far in Alien Isolation I have ran around trying to get past knee high obstacles times 12 and then opened some doors with a thing by pressing LT+RT plus left times 6 and pressed A three times.. three times! Also I have read some things. At least the graphics are very pretty.
Wasteland 2 is kinda funny, I played hours and a half today and I did pretty much nothing.

Overpriced port, honestly. $30 base price at 50% off makes the launch price $15, which seems more in line with recent releases. It's smart in a way though, seems like a great deal to start with and generates early buzz. Might generate more sales than if it just launched at $15 or at $20 with a "smaller" discount. Human perception of value is a fascinating thing.
I'm honestly surprised more people don't have motion sickness issues from motion blur, it's about as "fake" as a visual effect can get. It's always the first thing I turn off.
One would hope, but GOG's pre-order exclusivity period ended yesterday. There's no reason why DF should be dragging its feet.

you can't announce it when MCC is still on fire on the xbone and you're trying to convince people to buy the broken version first. It'll come, just give it time.

At least they didn't fuck thing up.
We know that Steam works with Win 10, game DVR integration sounds cool, better if it was 15 mins like the PS4.
Remote play for PC is kinda cool, don't see it selling more consoles.
Cross platform, could be good in some games.
Overall feeling Win 10 looks to be a safe place for gaming.
Can't wait for GDC, battle of the 2 OS's Win 10 vs SteamOS.
Definitely a good year for PC gaming.

I'm not doubting that, but saying it was not for this event.
An operating system being subscription based makes no sense at all.

Indeed, I learned about that in economics. It's called price anchoring. Customers feel they're getting a great value and companies also get higher sales. Win-Win.

That would be really weird and confusing to millions of casual PC users.
I don't think MS would do such a wildly different thing.
A probability would be to make a Windows variant subscription-based for Enterprises only.
Though they did subs with Office and Adobe also goes that way now. But an OS? That be really not working at all.
So much good stuff, yet sadly most will not be played.
General_Frags

They never said it was sub based, but they mentioned services.
Possibility it would be that the OS would be free or purchasable for a one off fee, with the other services being sub based.
I.e if you wanted to use the Xbox app to its fullest use you would require Xbox live gold.
We can kinda see it now with Office 360.
Remember as an OS it will be up against OSX a free OS (for Mac users) and open source OS's. Any kind of sub would undermine the platform as a whole.

Anybody got that AA guide for Resident Evil Remastered handy? I was going to up the AA but forgot where the post was.

You know, they said the same thing about Free-to-play games.

Yo GAF, who do I gotta DDOS to get this game on Steam? Cuz you know you wanna blow shit up with a track called 'Let's kick ass together' blasting the background

Why would you want a Raizing game on Steam, when you have this?
Yeah in the sense that you get the OS as a free upgrade so they can get you into their new ecosystem Microsoft are trying to craft and then try and sell or resell you a load of stuff. All of their products have a subscription model, Xbox Music has free streaming in lots of countries, paid in others and buy to keep on tracks and albums you want to keep. Xbox Video has a subscription model for Films and TV as well as buy to keep prices. Then there's software which with Office having 365 and Home and Enterprise variants the app store has started to get more and more universal apps that work across devices and architectures. A lot of it is already there in 8 and mobile already so trying to get as many people to move over to 10 gives them more customers to solicit.
Hey at least Windows 10 isn't an ad infested, walled garden, with no choice but to buy incremental upgrades year on year. That would be the true horror but the way I look at it is that every game I own now runs just fine on Windows 7 and 8 so if needs must I'll make do with them to the end of my days. I mean I've got more games than I will ever play, let alone finish right now.

Windows 10 will cost 10 Steam games removed from your account per month. You heard it here first folks.
Oh crap, now there's 55 people on OT that actually believe that.

I hope the upgrade process is something along the lines of: validate Windows -> receive licence key -> download ISO. I'd hate to have to install 7 to get to 10 every time Windows needs cleaning out.
I'm not saying we'll never see subscription options for Windows, you could see certain features like what they currently bundle as being the "Professional" version of Windows being done that way. But you could never have a situation where the casual user's computer just stopped working because their operating system subscription ran out, it would be a logistical and PR nightmare.
It's replaced. The foil badge is separate though.
How is it currently handled if you buy an upgrade from 7 to 8? I'd imagine it will be similar to that.
You're not using 98 anymore, JaseC, NT-based Windows doesn't need reinstalls unless you're changing the whole of your PC.

But what would make you think Microsoft would give up their incredible, groundbreaking, cinematic Xbox One exclusives to dumb pc? Everything in that thread comes back to this question so I thought I would save some time.

What? I can't play Fable Legends on my Windows Vista?? THIS IS BULLSHIT MICROSOFT AND YOU KNOW IT

You sound shocked. Why should we be shocked?
I hope it's just input key -> get download & new one.
Otherwise it's gonna be pita to upgrade every license.
Well, that and I'd get a key, install it wherever to activate it and wait a while to see if I want it on my main computer.
That looks so neat.

You can already download an Windows 8.1. ISO and install it with a key. Then you just validate it online. You can even install one without any key at all and just insert the key later.

I certainly would like to see this game on Steam but we all know that the chances are pretty much 0 for this. What Raizing even does nowadays?
In fact, I would to see multiple clasical shumps on Steam, there's a lot of stuff in the genre that I've never played because they're arcade only\360 port only.
I installed 7 over Vista once and lost 20 gig of hard drive space that was no where to be found. Cleared the drive out and did a clean install and viola missing space reinstated. Windows Installs may have got better over time but there's still some stupid things it does.
To be expected.
