[QUOTE=The freeman;46983830]For the streaming, If you have an Xbox One in one room but want to play those games in another room or if the TV is occupied or something.
For the app itself, you can manage friends and stuff from it. Also works to record game clips and screenshots of normal PC games. Acts like a hub in the same way Steam does.[/QUOTE]
oh
i just plug my console hdmi cables into my monitor
[QUOTE=superstepa;46983841]It's about time cross-platform multiplayer became a thing[/QUOTE]
Most games are not going to work like that though due to input device differences. COOP ones sure, but not competitive.
Lol as someone who actually owns an xbox this is pretty sweet. I know you all just want to get around having to get an xbox to play a major xbox exclusive title, but that will never happen.
They aren't bringing major first party platform Xbox titles to PC, and will never do so - doing so would be brand suicide for the xbox. Anyone who seriously expected this was fooling themselves. If you want to play halo, you need an xbox. This is how it always was and will be.
Except now when the TV is being hogged up I can actually just -PLAY- all of my XB1 games on my PC as if they were PC games. Which is super awesome.
The real question is whether or not we can use Steam In-Home Streaming in conjunction with this to stream from your Xbox, to your shitty laptop, to your actual rig.

Remember last time they tried that? This one may work a little better though.

I think you may need your controller, but then again that's not a major hurdle.
Games for Windows Live 2.0
[QUOTE=Adarrek;46982283]What else can they show? Minecraft is extremely popular among kids and early teens which aims to be their target audience[/QUOTE]
I dunno maybe a game that's not better on PC/on PC anyway?
[QUOTE=FlandersNed;46982049]Actually, since you can stream any xbox one game to windows 10 PCs, you can play the master chief collection on your PC, meaning that, finally, Halo 3 is on the PC.[/QUOTE]
Except you're not playing anything on your PC. Your wifi router will just act as a glorified HDMI cable. So instead of plugging your Xbox into your monitor, you're making your PC run along side your Xbone that may or may not be in a separate room.

[QUOTE=Jays2Kings;46982386]At least there's a game dvr for any windows (including steam) games, pressing Win+G saves the last 30 seconds of footage of gaming. Idk if they're gonna have a fully built in record option though.[/QUOTE]
Honestly if they're going to go anywhere they might as well go the full mile and make the recording app fully featured. With upwards of 30 minutes capture before you hit record and unlimited record time. This will make YouTube become flooded by a lot of half assed video content spewing out, but if it's easy to use and high quality then why the heck not?
I don't get it, they'd make more money if they could sell Xbox games to PC gamers and have the Xbox as a budget gaming HTPC. That's what the customers want.
The console people would get their games, the PC gamers would get more games. Everyone is happy.
But MS Xbox executives have to be the clueless 60 year olds they are and bring this utterly clueless attempt to the market .
So what in the hell is the point of this? You're still playing with an Xbox One controller and if you still need to have a Xbox One for this so isn't this basically just the same as plugging your Xbox into your PC monitor? Also, what the hell does "experience DirectX 12" even mean in this case? The games are running on an Xbox One which I don't think runs DirectX 12 so you're not actually experiencing DirectX 12 at all?

You're dreaming
If anything, they'll bring a paid feature to allow 360 games to be played

Since Xbox is getting Win10 and Dx12
That functionality would be added, it's not impossible by the looks of their architecture

Consumer aren't the simpletons they were 10 years ago and most of what's been announced with Xbox one has made Microsoft look bad, if anything they'd want to appear to give the consumer what they want not what the greedy executives want. I'd not met one person who's said anything good about the Xbox one.
[QUOTE=superstepa;46983841]It's about time cross-platform multiplayer became a thing[/QUOTE]
Cross platform exists since GFWL and nobody gives a shit. About 5 games use it
GFWL isn't cross platform though
What a whole lot of effort for an inferior experience

But what if the comment is actually "Mom and dad is watching TV, but I can still play my Xbone games on the fairly slow PC in my room"
It's like people deliberately don't see the potential in this. It's the same concept as the Wii U games on the Nintendo controller, just with a larger, better screen and not-so-portable. Have the Xbone in the living room, use it in your own room as well.
That was cringeworthy.
Maybe it's just me but I don't think ill ever buy a console again

Even if it was a bigger hassle to unplug the two cables the Xbox has and plug it in near my monitor than it really is, I'd still do it instead of having to deal with stream/input delay
If you're playing for a few hours it helps to not eat up your bandwidth too

I don't get why people have to be intentionally obtuse about this kind of thing
if you have a "really powerful PC" and don't care about about the ability to stream then you obviously aren't the intended market for this feature
I've got a weak computer; if I played more video games I would be absolutely hype about this

Because (frankly dumb) PC elitism is real despite what people say
If you own and play on Xbox this is pretty great. Anyone who has had to share a TV can attest to this. If you don't, it isn't relevant for you. It really is that simple. I don't get how *PC GAMING BRAGGING RIGHTS* really come into it at all.

It runs over LAN. The input delay would be negligible and doesn't even leave your network, so it would have no effect to your internet bandwidth. If you've ever used Stream In-Home streaming, its pretty much exactly that.

Most families with kids would have to move it around multiple times per day, do you really think they'd want to do that?
I'm not trying to argue that this is great for YOU, I'm arguing that it's great for families with 12-year old kids that want to play CoD.
My brother would love something like this for his PS4, he moves it around at least 4 or 5 times every afternoon.
Wow fuck that title. And no Microsoft, I'm not gonna go out and buy your hardware so I can play it on other hardware running your software. Get over yourself.
