      There’s absolutely no way it won’t come to X1, be not afraid.
      If not this edition precisely, then one of thousands SF5 editions with additional fighters and features that Capcom usually do, like some Ultra Mega Super Duper SF5, or the like

      Indeed, it’s God dam pathetic that these companies like Sony and Microsoft can’t be bothered to invest money into first party games and has to steal third party games away from gamers.

      I don’t even care for Street fighter 5 and I own both consoles, but this practice is just dumb. No one is going to buy an Xbox one just for timed exclusive on Tomb Raider and no one is going to buy a PS4 for Street fighter 5 ( which hopefully for gamers who can’t afford both consoles is timed too )

      This is excellent news. Couldn’t careless about SF games.

      The best part is the outcry for future exclusives(timed or not) on Xbox One won’t/can’t be as large from the rabid insane sonyfanboys.

      So here’s your chance Microsoft, there’s not going to be a large backlash from now on, splash out and really hurt those sonyfanboys. While you are at it, have a aside swipe at Nintendo as well, buy the next Monster Hunter and make it exclusive for XBox One. This also helps to push forward lagging sales in Japan.

      Game On:)

    Only two awards did I feel were justly and correctly given, and those were Dragon Age for Game of the Year and the one for the Sierra founders.

    But Shovel Knight and South Park winning were attempts to appeal to the vast low brow audience demographic. You had all these beautiful indie games and the only one that looks like yet another pixelated nostaliga 8-bit over-hard arcade game is the one that wins. I screamed at my TV. These games are a dime a dozen and give indie a bad name in my eyes.

    So Microsoft, after watching that awful joke and waste of time (Eurogamer is completely right on that one) that the PS experience was, you can now start to do damage to PlayStation when they’re trying to dole out third party console exclusives that come to the PC. When Windows 10 hits next year, announce the synergy between PC and Xbox, make the Xbox your managed PC environment where you can reboot in Windows mode and run everything a PC gamer wants on there. It’ll still be a budget PC, but with the right drivers and API sets could be very much a worthwile endeavour and enlarge its use and userbase by a large amount. It would be like the Alienware Alpha only so much better and would give Sony little movement on the third party exclusive front. You could do so much cross buy and cross play goodness with the Windows Store too and get your consumer trust back. Win-win situation. Making it like a PC would also enable you to dish out a more powerful enthusiast class Xbox Two console in a year or so (compatibility would be key).

        At this point MS really wouldn’t have to prove anything to anyone based on probable cause since they are basically confessing. Even if they weren’t doing anything other than taking credit for problems they have nothing to do with (which I honestly believe is the case) they can still be charged at this point. If MS is honestly dealing with DDoS issues then they should make an example out of these amateurs.
