To be frank man I don't know what it is you want to hear, but you're more than likely not gonna hear it here. Forza 4 has as much chance of getting released on the PC as a snowball has a chance of surviving hell. It's not happening any time soon. It is what it is and that's it. Forza is their console-seller to some point and that will only be getting more and more true.
If you read my post, you should know what I want to hear, that is official confirmation by Microsoft or Turn 10 that it is an Xbox 360 exclusive which they have yet to mention unlike previous Forza games where they have.
Are you completely delusional or just clueless?
Microsoft is not giving up on the PC platform, nor do they have any intention of contemplating the idea. They have Games for Windows, Games for Windows LIVE (direct compatibility with your Xbox Live account), they have DirectX, they have Windows (which is, quite frankly, going nowhere anytime soon), etc, etc. Again, they're not releasing Forza 4 on the PC because it would detract (take away from) from sales on the 360 - Microsoft's own gaming console. What about that goes over your head? Fable and Fable 3 being released for Windows has absolutely no relation to Forza. Forza moves consoles off the shelves, Fable doesn't (at least not in the way Forza does). PGR3 was moving consoles left and right when the 360 launched, do you see that on PC? Do you see PGR4...do you see any PGR game on the PC?
Am I...am I getting through to you at all?
Personal attacks are not the best way to approach arguments.
Anyway I think you misunderstood what I said. If you read in context, you would see I meant the PC gaming platform and the sign of Fable 3 coming to PC is a sign of them not keeping their exclusives just for the 360 and by doing this they are not letting their PC gaming platform die. I never said they are giving up on the PC platform.
Fable series is as big seller as Forza is. I don’t have numbers on which has moved the system most but looking at Europe and Japan figures both are not doing particularly well, maybe Forza has a edge over Fable but nothing more. Anyway, you could say Fable returning back to PC detracts sales from the 360 console but Microsoft gain sales on their other platform. They have three platforms, one mobile, one PC and one console. They have established the Forza series already on the 360, why not gain sales on other platforms and get into the Japenese and European Market more if they are struggling to do that with their console with that game.
PGR3 being a launch title certainly helped, and I’m sure other launch titles helped move the system. I did not see PGR series on PC, but we did see a couple of Halo titles on PC, which I reckon is the main Xbox system seller. Games are not what usually move PC systems either which is irrelevant, maybe Crysis moves high end gaming PCs but that is all as PC is generally more multi purpose than a console mainly designed for gaming. I think on custom PCs Microsoft will be more looking into OS licenses purchased than the actual system sold if it is custom and not OEM.
The way you constantly reply to the answer, "No, it's not", makes it seem otherwise.
Fable 3 isn't the platform seller that is FM, either.
Really? Is that not why as of late, several members have said they have thought about buying an X360 for FM4?
Forza moves consoles. There's no denying that, esp. now that the Halo series is in limbo.
The proof is called common sense, esp. when the game is really pushing the Kinect feature within' it. They want this on the X360 & they want it to help move Kinects.
You claim you're not hyping yourself up, but again, you reply that our links are not proof. Well, what proof do you have that says the game has this "slim chance" that it will be released on the PC? Other games don't count.
Believe me or not I will be hardly disappointed if it does not come out on the PC. All I’m saying is there is a chance, no one has yet official proof it is not.
Sure Fable series might not be the platform seller that Forza is but I’m sure there is very little in it as in terms of software numbers there is probably only a million in it and considering Forza is usually the cheapest Xbox and content rich game you can buy, Fable is not doing too badly.
You say the proof is common sense, I know it is common to believe that things will not change but it has happened in the past and it will happen in the future. There is nothing in common with say Tekken or Final Fantasy changing to multi platform with 360 included but it happened.
You should also know that Kinect is also getting PC support and maybe in E3 they will announce it too. The PC platform can help Microsoft move Kinects too.
Opinions are not proof, the links are an assumption the same as your opinion, however Microsoft and Turn 10 are leaving the door open by not saying it is exclusive yet in any official article or statement which is unlike what they did with previous Forzas. Maybe it might not be for PC and instead for the Next-gen Xbox platform but with E3 coming up I’m sure Turn 10 have a few surprises in store for E3, PC or no PC.
I’m happy to back down over my stance of saying it has a slim chance if you can find anything official saying so but if it is just your opinion again then that is hardly proof. It is not like I’m saying there is a massive chance, I’m just picking up on the way Turn 10 and Microsoft are wording their articles and responses as it is leaving the door open for some other platform if they announce it later on. I know it is coming out on the 360, which is what Microsoft and Turn 10 have confirmed but they have not used the key word exclusive like they did before Forza 3 launched. It will most likely remain a Microsoft exclusive for it's lifetime unless someone buys the IP of them.
Isn't that the best way to sell something, giving away (or adding) a product that entices the customer? Halo is available as a bundle too, does that mean it doesn't sell the console?
Besides isn't there another thread for this argument?
As you can see they way they are bundling Halo in the image you posted, a special design on the 360 and controller, unlike Forza which is just a plain console. However I do believe that Forza does move consoles quite a lot, but Halo for me moves the most by far for that platform as seen by the amount of sales we see with every Halo launch. I was just referring to Forza not as big system seller as GT is for Playstation, which is not indicating it doesn’t sell consoles.
I didn’t intend this to get into an argument; it seems people are not happy with me not accepting their opinion as fact when I’m just stating that it could be a slim possibility. I even will back down on my stance that it is a slim chance of it happening soon if there is any official proof but soon as there isn’t any; I don’t get what is people’s problem in me mentioning it as a possibility.
Ok, so we established that Forza is not going to come out on the PC. Imagine the chaos that would cause if they did though. They can't keep people from glitching and cheating on a closed network like XBL. Out there in the PC world with endless hackers and modders it would be nuts.
Which reminds me. If I were the gambling type, I'd say it's good money that this whole transferring of credits from one game to another is going to be the cause of this versions "money glitch". Won't take them long to figure out how to transfer credits without actually losing them on FM3 which will allow them to repeat endlessly.
I don’t think we have established it yet, like I say a slim chance but if Microsoft and Turn 10 have not shut the door by not banging on it being the definite racing game exclusive only to Xbox 360, then I don’t see why I should completely rule out the possibility. They did say Forza 4 has unmatched graphics, this could only be really achieved using the PC but I guess they will do their best on the 360 to match that claim. If there is a 1% chance, it is still a chance; I’m still surprised how sensitive people are about this stance.
