 Posted: Thu, 23rd May 2013 16:03 Post subject: M$ (still) won’t focus on the “traditional desktop PC game“ |
|
 |
| Quote: |
You can’t see my face right now, but it’s contorted into an expression of bemused bewilderment. That’s because of an interview by ShackNews with the excellently named Matt Booty, Microsoft’s “general manager of Redmond Game Studios and Platforms”. In it, he distances the company’s Windows game strategy away from the perception of the “more traditional desktop PC game,” heavily suggesting that the majority of the Xbox One’s “15 exclusives” won’t be arriving on Microsoft’s other platform.
To be clear, the source of my confusion isn’t the idea that Microsoft doesn’t care about the PC as a viable core gaming platform – that’s been a known factor since their focus shifted to the consoles. Instead, it’s the outright bizarre detachment from reality shown in many of Booty’s statements. When asked if PC gamers would see any of their planned exclusives, he said, “the Windows 8 gamer is certainly going to participate in some of that content.”
When pressed on the type of “content” that Windows 8 gamers would “participate” in, Booty added, “we have got everything from very, very casual games, like our very much improved and reimagined Solitaire  , all the way to graphically complicated games like The Harvest.” 
Asked whether, in light of this, Microsoft were focusing on the lower-end, rather than AAA PC production, Booty responded, “We’re talking about console games, but there could be some franchises that also end up with a PC game.” As if there’s any difference in this age of x86 architecture, universal control pad support, and even Steam Big Picture mode. “When I think about more connected experiences across those platforms,” he continued, “it’s things that show up within that family of devices where we’ve got Xbox Live, like Windows Phone and Windows 8,” and “not what you might consider a more traditional desktop PC game.”

You mean the exclusives will actually be exclusive 
Who would have thought. 
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

tonizito - from AAA titles - quantum break + maybe one more. rest - small games/kinect bullshit.
anyway as i said - pointless thread.
simple sentence: xbox exclusives will be xbox exclussives
after bullshit sensationalism and click-generating headlines: microsoft wont focus on pc gaming!!13
paxsali - surely for you its OMFGBIGNEWZZZ thread which obviously needs tons of discussion and funny pictures from the internets like the one you just googled (or even bether - you kept it on your hdd wololo)
tldr - fuck off.

Yeah, looking at the history of the 360 exclusives and taking that into account with the direction of the new console so far I'm SURE that some interesting exclusive rpg's, fps's and tps's will be released.
Give me a fucking break...

Why would MS feel any need to port any of their Xbox games to PC?

Because they were advertising their OS as "gaming platform". (not sure if they did for Win8 as i don't give a shit about it, but for sure for Vista/7)

Well, I don't know, but maybe they want to push forward and spread or fusion their Games for Windows Live with their Xbox Live and whatever the Mobile Live is?
To create one big super Live network with built-in support from Windows 8 & Windows 8 Mobile upwards.
Whatever Google is currently doing with their new Gaming APIs in Android using the already existing Google Plus & Hangouts accounts.
(I guess nobody at M$ thought about that, huh?) |
Last time MS tried to fusion their GFWL and XBL "universes" was on launch of GFWL.
They asked PC gamers to pay every month for access to it, as it would be only "fair" if the XBL users did so as well. We told them to fuck off and that was it.
