Guerrilla Games relocates to the old Telegraaf Building – Gaming – News

There are few games from the Microsoft Editor (publisher, not developer!) That are not covered by the Play Anywhere program. Gears of War 4, Cuphead, Quantum Break, Obi and the Blind Forest, Sea of ​​Thieves (bad game, at least shortly after the release, but who cares) …
What is not covered? The last game Halo?
It's not true that these games are sold only through the Windows Store, you can also buy most of these games on Steam and sometimes even on GOG, so you can buy Cuphead on GOG and it's there that I buy it. The latest Gears of War only seems available in this store (probably because it's a very good game and MS uses this game as a lever to encourage people to buy in this Windows store in the hope that they will buy also other games through their store), which I leave aside until it is available and even then, it is doubtful that I will m? it interests, it depends if the game is well suited to the PC (better graphics, more difficult gameplay given the superiority of the mouse + keyboard compared to the controller). Yes, this Windows store is a misery, I am not very keen to buy via this platform, if people do not do it then there is nothing to worry about and the games come automatically to Steam as was the case with Quantum Break in the Windows store, MS eventually abandoned). I also find a bigger problem that these games are not supported by Linux, but it's a different story.

Yes, this backward compatibility is a good decision. It's simple but it makes a lot of difference for the players, no one wants to see their old games become worthless for the new console.

What percentage of games on a PS or X is exclusive to this console? Most games are multi-platform. I doubt that many people are buying a PS4 Pro because they necessarily want to play these few exclusive games that look interesting: Uncharted 4, HZD, maybe The Last of Us where the value seems to be in it. history you can get it by looking at all cinematics). I do not have the answer but I guess these players are looking a lot more at which console gives the best performance, the conditions of service (such as backwards compatibility you mention, DRM, online gambling costs and limitations, download time, connection quality with multiplayer …), games prices (I think the MS and Sony cut is about the same and about 2-3 times higher than the Steam cut) and in the case of teenagers with whom play their friends. Personally, I might even buy the PS4 Pro for the occasion if the price is good enough and that pair of games that I'm interested in is included.

I agree with you that these companies are trying to get as many sellers as possible. Let's hope that we will evolve towards a system in which this will be less and less possible and timely.
