Spencer om hvorfor Xbox One-spil ikke kommer til PC
Med afsløringen om at Halo Wars 2 kommer til Xbox One og Windows 10 PC, og efter bekræftelsen af at spil som Killer Instinct og Gears of War: Ultimate Edition begge kommer til både konsol og PC, står det klart at Microsoft tager platformen seriøst.
Selvfølgelig er der stadig Xbox One-spil der ikke er planlagt til udgivelse på begge platforme, og PC Gamer har derfor spurgte Xbox-chefen Phil Spencer, om hvorfor spil som Quantum Break er Xbox-eksklusivt:
"In the case of things like Scalebound or Crackdown or Quantum Break, you know, just to be completely honest with you, we started those games before we really looked at expanding into Windows in the way that I wanted to bring as part of becoming head of Xbox.
Going to those teams mid-cycle and saying: ‘Hey, by the way, I want to add a platform,' didn't really feel like necessarily the best way to end up with the best result for the game. They had a path that they were on. It's not to say those games could never come to Windows, but right now we're on the path to finish the great games that they've started, and I want that to be the case. These games are on a path, whereas with, like, Halo Wars 2 I had the opportunity from the beginning, when we're sitting down with the studio, to say, ‘Here's the target. Here's what we wanna go do.'
"Even with Gears, like the Gears 1 remake, we thought about framerate, we thought about multiplayer. The opportunity to bring it to Windows in a refreshed way felt like a great opportunity from the beginning. I'm trying to be more deliberate in the choices that we make."
Så der har du det, en bekræftelse af at disse tre spil forbliver eksklusive på Xbox, men måske også et hint om, at de vil ankomme på PC en skønne dag.
