Chapter Xbox Phil Spencer (Phil Spencer) announced a solid decision Microsoft Combine the Xbox One and PC console running Windows 10 to a single ecosystem. Both platforms (as well as smartphones with tablets, but it is not interesting to you) will be able to launch universal Windows (Universal Windows Applications) applications.

What does this mean for a simple player? And the fact that in the distant future exclusives for Xbox One will cease to exist. Uwa will be compatible equally with both the console and with PC. Universal Windows Platform will become a key element of strategy Microsoft In video games.

Also Spencer I set that long console generations significantly inhibit technological progress, and Microsoft wants to separate the software and hardware parts of the Xbox One. Apparently, now the corporation intends to bring new consoles to the market more often, but at the same time, thanks to Uwa, they will be completely compatible with old applications.

According to Spencer, The developers will have a great opportunity to release cross -platform games, available simultaneously for the Xbox One and for PC, including support for the cross -platform multiplayer.

why should it be better? He will simply be more convenient for Americans and Europeans who are used to playing the living room on the couch.

Something Microsoft again goes somewhere in the wrong place. No, no, do not think that I am against the fact that PC can be played in games with xbox. Just knowing Microsoft. Well, let's say, they like to put the road to hell with good intentions. I am that it is all, well, it sounds very, very, very suspiciously. There will either be one and a half games (and some kind of indie) with this sort of support for Universal Windows Applications. Either the fulfillment of the program itself will be insanely clumsy and it will be easier to buy Xbox. And this is the assumption about the frequent issue of the new generation of consoles. This completely kills the very idea of ​​the console, who will buy some XBOX (outdated every 2-3 years) if you can buy a much more long-lived PC (this is over with smartphones/tablets, such a trick passes twice a year that turns the previous generation into trash, and now this has been inhibited very much, the last two generations are not very much from each other. different). Summing up, I will be happy to make a mistake, but so far it looks like an attempt to sit at once on two chairs at once (and this is again the whole Microsoft, rushes from side to side, would already bend some of its own line and would be all happy, and so.. .).

Not quite so. Microsoft is about the duckduckbingocasino.uk fact that it will be possible to launch games both on Xbox and PC, while to play PLayStation4 to play PlayStation4, because this is not a compatibility of games with PC, but a simple broadcast.

Well, as an option to broadcast games with someone else's PlayStation, but again you need to find someone who will “give you” the game.

What naive questions? How-how, you go and buy yourself a new piece of iron. Either upgrade your computer if it does not pull the new exclusives of small -laws. Everything, as always, but the question is how speed the generation will change.

According to the head of the Microsoft game unit, this solves many problems, including reverse compatibility. Spenar does not exclude that players will have the opportunity to upgrade Xbox One iron in the future.

If you yourself need to upgrade, then there will be no differences between the PC and the boxing, which means that the price will be the same

I look at my curling iron, look at boxes, or rather, I look at the Xbox One and think: but I bought you for the fuck? For the sake of Halo 5, Forza Horizon 2, Gears of War 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Sunset Overdrive, Halo: Master Chief Collection and Ryse: Son of Rome?
It’s worthless, Microsoft, oh is worthless ..

Frankly, I did not quite understand what you wrote)))

If you don't like Windows 10 Nor X-Box, but only PS4, then what is the problem in general? It turns out that this news does not affect you at all. What exactly this will help Microsoft, in principle, it is clear, if earlier everyone made the choice from Xbox, PC, PS 4 and only the first option was essentially beneficial for Microsoft, now PC owners are also their audience potential. For me, as for a person who plays only for PC all my life (I hate gamepads simply)) This news is generally very joyful.

In terms of sales, Xbox is unlikely to play a big role, because it is more convenient for someone to play PC like me, and someone likes to play consoles. I understand that you mean that having PS 4 you can play on your computer for the XBOX and therefore will not buy it, but this is not so, because in your words it turns out like any owner PS 4 has a computer quite powerful to pull new games, and most people, as a rule, have one thing, and if there is a console, then the computer is weak, purely for the Internet, etc.p. Thus, in fact, the same competition (Xbox VS PS4 and the VS PC console) is maintained, but the fact is that shirts are now striving to get 2 positions at once (PC, Xbox), and only one (PS 4).

But about the "streaming service" did not understand at all. Why did Xbox suddenly stop being a console and became a “streaming service for a computer” if Sony announced the creation of this “streaming service for a computer, and not Microsoft?

And old pieces with new games? It is a pity that he did not say how this problem would solve.

I support politics, because the first tablets for wines10 is a miracle. An ordinary tablet, on which all wine programs and games are placed without a tambourine, many people dreamed about this.

I wonder if this means that all other games with Xbox One can be launched on a PC? And games with Xbox360, which are back compatible with xbox One, too, can also be launched on a PC?

“Games, give Igor!»©
P.S.
Steambox is unnecessary, they fragment the market even more. The idea was “here is the axis for games with fixed iron in 3 packages: it will be shook, pull on medium and maximum graphony”. At the output we have the same PC with a bunch of configs and with less performance due to penguinux

But I don't think so. Looking at the cost of components and system requirements, you somehow rejoice that you have Xbox One. And PS4 of course. And also, given what divine optimization is now flourishing the PC and what scandals are rattling (last year's Batman I think everyone remembers?), I don't want to look in his direction at all. I better play GEARS of WAR 4/Quantum Break (for example) on Xbox One without jerking brains, than going to buy them on a PC. Another thing, confuse the words Mircosoft about the upgrade of consoles.

Nuuu, now he needs him ... but Nepsen with non-City ... For a minute, the prefix-2.5 years, another 2-5 years and nevstgen. Perhaps this is a hint that there will be a universal box, call it as you like, X -Box, PC, a tablet ... But it will be the same as the current prefix, but there will be a new Windows, where there will be everything that is on PC and XBOKS in the current form ... in the kit - mouse/gamepad/klava/steering/touch screen - will be everything, depends on the configuration. There is a base, and then make a body kit - wholesale is cheaper. I wang that they will make large sensory screens + BP glasses (or minus glasses, xs - they may now do not know whether the glasses for porn are shot* to move them or not) :).

Spencer also complained that long console generations significantly inhibit technological progress
