Adam91 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Microsoft's upcoming Windows 10 operating system and Xbox One will have cross-platform capabilities along with other features. Xbox Head Phil Spencer unveiled their plans to intergrate Windows 10 and Xbox One for cross-platform gaming yesterday morning at the Game Developers Conference. User's on Xbox One and Windows 10 can now look forward to playing along side or against each other as Microsoft will be implementing this feature in the near future. "Now, we are also bringing that same focus, passion, and commitment to gaming on Windows 10, enhancing the PC games and gaming devices you already love, including the Xbox One. We’ve listened and learned from our past efforts in PC gaming and I am excited about what the future holds.” Spencer Said. Back in January Microsoft revealed that Fable Legends will be coming to Windows 10, which will release the same day as the Xbox One version. Fable fans playing on Windows 10 can enjoy cross-platform experience with Xbox One users using the Xbox One app, and it will be just one of many gaming franchise from Microsoft studios and other developers that will feature Xbox One/Windows 10 cross-platforming using the built-in Xbox app. Other features that will come with this is having the ability to stream your Xbox One games over a home network on to your Windows 10 computer and other devices such as tablets. This means Xbox One users can play their games on another Windows 10 devices. Xbox One's game DVR feature will also be accessible on Windows 10 PC's. Microsoft will also be expanding their ID@Xbox program over to Windows 10, developers will then be able publish their games on the new operating system as well as Xbox One allowing their games to have cross-platform accessibility.

Twinreaper Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Fable Cross-Platform is hardly anything to rejoice about. Let's keep things in perspective shall we? Fable is not some mythical awe inspiring title that is played by millions on end. it's a moderate mediocre franchise that enjoyed some success but quickly died out. It's not as if this title is anywhere near half of what Halo or gears of Wars is. That being said, let's look at Microsoft and their supposed "commitment to PC gaming" over the years shall we? For the past seven years, PC gamers have been told that they were getting support. Windows Live was a complete failure as well as the Windows Store for game purchasing. They never made a commitment to keeping the platform stable or bothered to keep it relevant. Instead they focused on what they could do to cripple the pc gaming community and force them to move to consoles. This whole "We have big plans and announcements" for pc gaming ended up being nothing more than a streaming of Xbox One to the PC, and a poor cross-platform release. The fact is that Microsoft cares zero for it's platform in which it makes all it's money...Windows. Instead they want to keep players coming only to Xbox for all their gaming needs. At least companies like Activision, Sony, Bethesda, etc know how profitable and important the pc community is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
