Playstation Tablet 1,722 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Only Dynamite hasn't realized it. You can play Halo on Steam with your Dualshock 4 for fuck's sake, as if it's not a sign of things to come. Edited March 14, 2019 by Team 2019 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're bringing an XBL SDK to Switch, even if you have a point there. I mean we all know where this is going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think its mostly about XCloud integration, I don't think you'll access Live outside the XBox app/games. You arent playing Splatoon or Mario Kart on Live.

You arent playing Splatoon or Mario Kart on Live. XBL has party chat, so if it's integrated into Switch as opposed as into individual games, then you could chat while playing splatoon or mario kart. What you couldn't do is invite friends into your lobby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,722 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Regarding Playstation and XBox games. My thoughts. I always operated under two assumptions. 1. XCloud is a must for MS to accept PS. 2. Only format MS would agree to would be the game pass model, even if they were to do native ports. Both assumptions debunked I mean everyone assumed that to be honest. If Game Pass isnt on the agenda, then they arent even competing with PSNOW in non streaming Steam just blew my mind because of the implications. I assume Halo MCC isn't the end for steam either. I expect Halo Infinite to be on PS4/PS5 it's launch in late 2020. Edited March 14, 2019 by Team 2019 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TLHBO 2,158 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Ironic, lemmings mostly played Netflix on their xbox, now Xbox is becoming the videogame equivalent of Netflix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,722 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Honestly the only reason MS is even bothering with XBox hardware at this point is to keep milking that $60 Gold fee from idiots, and not to totally embarass themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 i forgot about the fact that steam has native DS4 support. Every Halo game with a dualshock 4. It's over Dyno, pack it up, Xbox is dead as hell right now. I wonder why they're even bothering with another console at this point, can't wait to see what it is. I'm thinking it will ONLY be a Streambox at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are still enough Crapgamers out there to carry the hardware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sabo 442 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I mean, they are a software company and their ultimate goal has always been to be in the center of everyone's living room. This new approach does make sense for them. However, what doesn't make sense is for them to be making another console. What's the point? If you're already getting things in place to be on other systems, what do you need your own console for? MS really loves to just throw away money, I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its more of a transition console while Cloud gaming and their other endevaours pay off. They're not planning to make it anything other than an optional side thing, and they probably have extremely low expectations for it. If people pay for Live, it will still make money, and the hardcore XBox audience even if limited still needs a piece of hardware for the time being. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It kind of seems like an unnecessary step in their grand scheme if I'm going to be honest. But hey, they're a multi-billion dollar company and I'm just some schmuck on the internet, what the fuck do I know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
