Re-Core and Sea of Thieves coming to PC?

[thehotsung8701A]

WTF is Microsoft thinking? Those games are amazing X1 exclusives that may or may not be on par with Forza, Halo, and Gears.

It like if Sony release Horizon: Zero Dawn and The Last Guardian to PC.

No, it's not at all the same. Microsoft produces Windows. They've spent a year telling us how Windows 10 will be a move to improve their PC gaming support, and that the OS will unify experiences on their platforms. Neither game is a system-seller, like Halo or Forza, so this isn't surprising.

Also, how about some source info that those games are going to PC? I've not seen anything to suggest it.

It confirmed by the Devs. I made this post on GS forum.

"Re-Core, Sea of Thieves, Gears Ultimate edition, Sunset Overdrive, Halo Wars 2 are all coming to PC to join Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct, and Ryse. Rumor is that Forza Horizon 2, Scalebound, Quantum Break, etc... might also come to PC.

I ask you fellow X1 owner, what is the point of Xbox One? Why is Microsoft doing this?"


Tell me what you think about that?

No, apparently ReCore is not coming to PC. It was incorrectly stated on the developer site that it would be. That has been updated to reflect that it's XBox One only. For all intents and purposes, the game won't be on PC based on current information.

As for Sea of Thieves, it appears to be coming to Windows 10. The trailer says so right at the end. Makes no sense when you see how they word things. Screenshot below. What does "Xbox Exclusive" really mean?

For starters, your unsubstantiated rumors about exclusives don't hold any weight to me. There haven't been legitimate announcements that FH2, Scalebound, or Quantum Break will be on the PC at all, let alone when the games launch on consoles. On top of that, as was said, ReCore's listing was a mistake, and the same was stated for Sunset Overdrive.

Why get an Xbox One? For starters, Halo and Forza. Right there's just about good enough of a reason, having the 5 games in Halo: TMCC (including the ODST campaign) and Guardians, plus the 3 Forza titles on the One. You're sitting on 9 games you can't get on PC. Gears Ultimate is coming to PC, but not Xbox 360 backwards compatibility. For $40, the PC will give you one remastered game. On the One, you'll also get (for free) Gears 2, 3 and Judgment via backwards compatibility, meaning 3 more games.

Then you have Ryse and Dead Rising, which didn't reach PC until almost a year after they were out on Xbox One. That ties in to Sunset Overdrive. Even if it makes it to PC, I bought, played, beat, and sold it, like, 9 months ago. Screw playing Xbox One games on PC if I'm going to have to wait an extra 9+ months and pay more to play the games, plus lose the ability to trade them in.

Microsoft is doing this to keep Windows 10 relevant for gaming. Valve's complained about Windows in the past (Gabe railed on W8, and used it as an excuse to start SteamOS, in a way). Microsoft puts some high-end titles on Windows to keep folks from flocking to Linux/SteamOS/OSX en masse, but they also keep the core stuff on Xbox One (Halo, Forza), while also making many of the PC ports hang up for a bit, meaning there's a benefit of getting them on console instead (not waiting months to play the games).

I can now breathe a sign of relief now! Thank you for that. Still don't get why Sea of Thieves is coming to PC though? Xbox Exclusive that come to PC aren't Xbox Exclusive. It like they are playing the X1 owner for fool. We can see straight through their lies.

About Re-core, I read the article but I'm worry that some info was leak according to the author and that Re-Core might still come to PC, meaning it a time exclusive and Microsoft doesn't want X1 fan to know. I don't trust Microsoft.

Who really cares? Like I've said, I have no desire to skip a game and wait a year to pay $40-60 for it on PC, when I could have bought it for $50 at launch on Xbox One, beaten it, and traded it back in for $40.

Also, it's really not playing anyone for any kind of a fool. Microsoft's said for some time that they intended to get back to support PC gaming with Windows 10, it's been an open matter Phil Spencer's repeated. Plus, given how closely integrated Xbox One and Windows 10 are going to be, it's sort of not even a new system. They've already talked at their Build conference how an app can be written once to run on their PCs, phones, and the Xbox One, all with one code base.

The obvious hope here becomes that Xbox One and Windows 10 become cross-buy platforms. It might only happen for small/indie games, but it would be sweet if you could buy ReCore next summer on Xbox One, then get it for free on PC a few months later. Given that Sony allows cross-buy with PS3/PS4 and the Vita/Vita TV, Microsoft COULD consider it.

Also if I want a game I am buying the game when it's new. Waiting a year or whatever for it to release on PC (if it does at all) and still paying $50 or so for it doesn't make sense when it would then be a $30 game on Xb1 at that point.

If a game has a simultaneous release I would strongly consider the PC version but if I have to wait an unknown amount of time, I could have just finished the game on console. Also if there is some sort of MP component or online co-op I may want it on console anyway depending on whether or not any of my friends get it.

But you have to pay for Xbox live whereas PC is free? Does that not bother you?

I have Xbox live and psn+ anyway. I get a couple games to download for being a member each month as a bonus.

But those games aren't permanent though. Once you no longer have psn+ and Xbox Live, you lose those games. It like a long rental as long as your subscribe.

Wrong. Xbox Live games with gold are yours forever even if your membership lapses.

Besides it doesn't matter, I've been a member of both for years and don't plan to stop the membership. I buy the 12 month subscription cards on sale for $30 or so.

Oh that good to know. I'm more incline now because it backward compatibility. Just show you Microsoft had the software and hardware all along and wanted to screw gamer over back when it was first release with all of those restriction.

Yeah most smart people do that. I have 2 subscription so far. One on PS4 and the other on X1 for when I buy a console since $60 total for a far superior online experience than PC is worth it. Achievement on PC don't seem to matter to me at all. I honestly it has to do with how disconnected PC is compare to console.

Well, on PC some games are on steam, some origin, some Uplay, some don't need any of that and run independently. You'd need friends on all 3 of those services to share your achievements etc. There's no central hub like XBL or PSN where you have your friends all lined up. Now that Windows 10 has an xbox app and your XBL friends appear there it may change for certain titles. You're right though that PSN and XBL have more of a community associated with them vs the PC. There's even threads here where people share their XBL gamertag or PSN username.

In this thread, OP complains about gamers having a choice. /facepalm

Not one bit. I don't have to worry about if I need to upgrade a GPU to run a game. I can trade in disc-based games when I'm finished. I can buy used games. When it's all counted up, console gaming is easier and cheaper than PC, in my experience.

Not so on Xbox One. You now have to keep your sub to keep the games. To me, as I've had my Xbox LIVE account paid for without fail since 2002, I don't mind it.

Didn't know that, but I stand by my second sentence. It doesn't matter to me. Bonus games for a subscription I've had for seemingly forever.
