Microsoft “in talks” for Project xCloud exclusive games [update: "no plans for cloud-exclusive content at this time." See threadmark]
- Thread starter Neat
- Start date
Phil Spencer is allowed to take a position today, and change it next year if it leads to a better strategy.
Same for Jim Ryan, Cerny and anyone at Nintendo.
Nothing he's said is 'anti-consumer' or negatively affects gamers. The only reason you're this dismayed is because you're a PlayStation only gamer who has a significant interest in a reduced number of Xbox exclusives to manage FOMO.
Happily enough, I own every single modern gaming platform known to mankind, so I don't share your constraints.
Cheers :)
He can certainly change his stance, like I said in my post, and is apparently doing so. It's odd to defend it, not to mention, turn the argument towards me, away from the subject, which is against the forum's TOS. I guess that's how it goes when there's little else to support your stance.
Everyone should be dismayed by 3rd party exclusives, that take away instead of adding anything to the table. I've said it multiple times before, in a perfect world we wouldn't have any 3rd party exclusives, timed or not, and on any platform, aside from those that wouldn't be made without the platform holder's support.
Ah, the usual, "can't be biased for owning multiple platforms". It works so well every time.
Bumping this because we just got a statement from Microsoft regarding that Stevivor story. Long story short, there are actually no plans for xCloud exclusive content at this time.
Lol thread suddenly so silent.
If someone cant open the link
Since it runs off of actual Xbox hardware it would make zero sense for anything to be exclusive to xcloud at this point. Makes sense that there are no plans for exclusives.
True, though they could theoretically use elastic compute to exploit the power of multiple server instances at once. That'd have to be cut down for the local Xbox or even PC hardware though, in terms of physics and AI.
Could mean a lot of different things. Things that make sense:
Per usual, lack of clarity and shitty communication. Looks like we'll get another generation of Microsoft running their product into the ground with messaging. Spencer really needs to fix this.
- Game shows
- Games being exclusive means not coming to other streaming platforms

Uhh check the statement above. And alot of times sites "make things up" like people expected already as the lines didnt really make sense.
update: "no plans for cloud-exclusive content at this time."
It had zero sense for xcloud to have exclusives. I'm glad Microsoft was hurry to clarify this matter.
