Exciting times, exciting times.
Phil has talked about bringing 360 games to PC so hopefully I'll be able to play Lost Odyssey and Gears 2-3 on PC, eventually.
PLEASE
I can't make myself not get excited and them disappointed about this every Microsoft event.
Yep I been saying I feel eventual to really push XGP, they will need to make a big buy on a publisher like Disney buying Marvel, SW or Fox in the movie industry. They can't be floating around 100-150 games on XGP and expect to be the Netflix of gaming.
I consider this huge news.
Between this and Project Xcloud being announced ahead of XO.....
I truly wonder what else they will show.....
Do first party games even leave Game Pass?
I think if Microsoft would have anyone in their sights it would be Sega first, Bethesda second, Projekt CD Red third.
I would assume the only reason they would would be because of licensing issues for music or likenesses.
Yeah as has been said before Forza horizon 4 will leave in 4/5 years just like 2 has left the store.
This makes me think MS will be adding some PC devs to the team.
Obsidian ? They've been focused on pc for a few years right ?
With K/M coming to X1, there's no reason for them to release PC only games.
Well considering their first game was Xbox only for a year I doubt that ;)
They are, but Dawn of War III bombed and they've apparently been a bit of a drain on Sega's financials. They're making Age of Empires 4 for Microsoft already, so I don't think it's totally out of the question.
I don't really know how to take it... I mean, PC gamers can already take advantage of cross-play games on XGP. But 3rd party doesn't really have a presence in the win10 store. Is that about to change? Are they going to fix the store so that subscribers can actually play the games?
The Banjo in Smash talk reminds me that earlier this year I tweeted that Microsoft should release Banjo on Xbox and switch because of their growing relationship w/ Nintendo and a few MS execs liked my tweet... Would be interesting. I hope I'm right so I can repost my tweet like I am Nostradamus;)
Great news. With game streaming coming soon, will be able to play all Game Pass games when traveling. This also helps justify more investment in 1st and 2nd party.
Perhaps... I wonder how far out we are from that though. And If the XGP subscription alone would justify the costs
Those aren't remakes, those are ports. A remake would be like what happened with Spyro.
The N64 version of Conker remains far more popular in part due to its graphics being preferred to the "improved" graphics of the remake. Remakes of games like Spyro exist because the originals were PS1 games. N64 games clean up just fine.
What exactly is the point of remaking Banjo when the single most hated thing about any such remake is going to be the graphics? You'd have to offer a classic graphics mode at the very least.
This is new thread worthy!

I did have a chat with someone about the west coast and Turtle Rock studios may have been in that chat:P
This is the type of stuff that gets you excited for the future!
My guess is that they're going to put effort into getting more PC games in it.
i assume they mean PC games that aren't Play anywhere titles will show up on the service.
They don't advertise it as a service for PC currently. They'll probably port some games like Sunset Overdrive and MCC to the Windows Store + add some PC games to the service like Age of Empires, Frostpunk, etc.
Makes more sense considering we'll theoretically be able to play stuff like Age of Empires on Xbox soon.

If MS plays their cards right they can very well compete with steam...
$10 a month for new and old games? PC gamers can NOT dislike that.

They can if they can't install games. Hopefully Nadella is helping influence more resources towards improving the store. I know it's better than it was 3 years ago, but still not as user friendly as competing digital stores. They need to aim higher.
There's...not a lot of those.
Quantum Break
Gears of War Ultimate
is that it?
Also, how come those haven't been retroactively cross buy. I know they can't be play anywhere, but I mean, come on.
There are only like 10 of the almost 200 games on PC because of the cross buy stuff. Its not officially on PC.
May mean something, may not, but Microsoft just recently registered and renewed the Banjo-Kazooie trademark on September 9th, 2018.

If you recall, this was one of the first big steps Microsoft took when Killer Instinct was first coming back and they had brief legal battle with Fox over the name because MS had let it expire and Fox took it over for some weird tv show that flopped.
I think because of the situation I mentioned above, it could be significant here in MS's case.
