TotalBiscuit's epic rant about new XB1 PC streaming for Windows 10

[Easy Rhino]

Who came up with this idea? A moron?

Are you referring to the idea of streaming from a weak console (Xbone) to the PC, instead of a PC to the console?

 

[MxPhenom 216]

I don't think this is the point. The point is Microsoft was proclaiming that Windows 10 would get back to the PC gamer. What a joke. lol.

Besides, you are literally a Microsoft spokesman.

lalalala DirectX12 lalalalalala......Okay!

 

[erocker]

lalalala DirectX12 lalalalalala......Okay!

Yep, we all know about DX12 before the "event". Wonderful, Microsoft has the software ready so we can play games on Windows 10. Wow....

directx12, now with more features that we could easily add into an existing DX... but what the hell let's force you to buy our crappy OS so you can play your console ports!

I'm sure you remember MS did the same thing with Vista/DX10 and they tossed us a bone with Halo 2. A game that was from 2004 that they claimed could only run on Vista in 2007.

Oooh, a free UPGRADE. not a free OS. you still had to pay for something.

Not to mention they haven't told us much else about what "features" we will be getting, perhaps they run it like a Win7 gets basic, Win8 gets Home, but if you want the fully featured version its only $79.99

Or what crap they will be saddling it with.

They could go Office 365 and be subscription base.

BSOD, Blue Screen Of Debt.

Today my history teacher went on a rant about domesticated vs tamed. He pointed out how "tamed animals like bears still tend to turn on their users and stomp them into the ground. Much like Microsoft." lol

HAHA!, how ever we only tr to think of our self's a human but really in the end were all bears with a temperament and we keep on calling our self's humans but really were animals too.

I just love when teachers come up with their theories. I had a biology teacher that told us that he was abducted by aliens and they implanted a mind control device in his head (This was in high school). And when ever he saw someone had a new phone he would take it and play with it for about an hour and when he realized the class is almost over he just said read the pages from xx to xy and left.

[1Kurgan1]

As much as I agree. I stopped having respect for this guy a long time ago, the extremely short time he spends playing something before probably throwing it under the bus is just stupid. So I mostly came here to say that this didn't even need a rant, I don't think anyone really disagrees, it's backwards and every comment on this subject on any social media pretty much says the samething.

 

[Easo]

So, basically this topic went about ranting how bad and evil Microsoft is.
Seriously?

 

[BiggieShady]

Microsoft: We are so committed to making PC a gaming platform it deserves to be, we are now letting you use your PC as a terminal for your XBOX One!
We: Yes God oh yes, finally now we can sell our GPU-s and buy ourselves an XBOX One. Yes!

Well it does sound evil, as i understand it windows comes with standard features and if you want to add some thing i am thinking that you have to go though them to get these add ons. Yet we have to see what MS charge for them too so.

We yet to know what is missing from a standard version but for the most part i hope it's at professional grade at least as that be good for what most need out of a OS.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Gentlemen...

I think we're missing the bigger picture here.

Cos being able to stream Xbone to PC is just so damn hardcore. seriously guise, when Microsoft said they were committed to 'PC Gaming' they weren't kidding.

Lets ride a bike!

 

[Cvrk]

I basically agree, but still, it is pathetic how MS keeps trying to tout their support for gaming, and suggesting to do something that will result in awful performance and picture by going from Xbone to PC.

I will definitely not agree with this statement! Microsoft is the rock of ages,the adamantium,the revolutionary,save man kind type of company! Where would we be without Albert Einstein? Where would we be without Bill Gates? As far as i'm concerned in 2015 there is no alternative to Windows.
iOS is like Mclaren P1....yes we made an useless electric car (just to show we also care about the planet)...that can run for 20 miles witch after you will have to stop every 10 miles to refill the incredible thirsty V8.
Microsoft is once more the pioneers of our generation. It's brilliant that we can finally play every xbox game on PC! It's about time we can have such a technology.
They knew before they started the arrasing impediments. But this is Microsoft. They will get there!
And who does not want a computer witch you can talk to and it does what you tell it to!? We've been looking at movies with taking computers for decades(Her-2013). Let's face it, Cortana is a wizz-genius compared tot he retard Siri.
Microsoft is going in the right direction....maybe,in this era of speed, not going fast enough

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not. However, assuming you are serious, nothing you wrote refutes the sheer design problems of streaming a game from Xbone to PC. It is a fact that the heavy lifting in game streaming is from the origin device, not the receiving device. Logic tells us then, that streaming from even a mid-grade PC to the Xbone would result in better performance as well as game image quality.

Also, nothing you said refutes the long history that has been established of MS continually, repeatedly stating that they are supporting PC gaming, and then taking obvious steps against it to cripple its success and strength.

It's the direction the idea is going,not when it will get there.And it will,because today you have streaming problems. Tomorrow you will not.It's that simple. Go back to year 1999 and show them what a game like Far Cry 4 looks like. Pure fantasy once is reality today
rtwjunkie, you refuse to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar

I will just leave this here. Post #6. @RCoon summed up MS commitment to PC gaming very nicely. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/t...ur-full-story-about-gaming-on-windows.206862/

We don't have streaming problems. Streaming works quite nicely if you use the more powerful device to stream, and the weaker device to be the client. MS has it backwards, because the Xbone is weaksauce.

Well tried the new build and unlike the last one being forced to sign in WTF, data mining much ?. well for get it i will wait till the release see if that's any better.

Yeah, hate the fact when I sign in to skype on windows 8.1 it then decides to set my PC up with that microsoft account automatically. Had to remove it last night and use the Skype account I made when I was 12 instead.
And the Windows 10 EULA is just a "I accept that you will keylog the living bejesus out of me". I kinda don't have a problem with that anymore. I'm getting datamined so hard everytime I drop my name on a website account, I've started attaching fake phone numbers because of all the cold calls I'm getting (because the company DOESNT protect my contact details like they said). What's another drop in the ocean eh?...
