It's still a thing. Even win32 games are wrapped in a locked down uwp container on the Windows Store. There's no indication that Microsoft has plans to abandon this "app" model for the Windows Store.

Damn :/ didnt know that
Is there any comparison on what you get on each pack? What's not included in the ultimate edition?
So in the end it will cost around 50 euros for everything in the game.
Does Forza Horizon 4 has the same mess?
Don't think so, as far as I can see the Ultimate Edition includes a lot of DLC stuff and even the 2 expansions.
Scroll down a bit here: Buy Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition - Microsoft Store
Buy it if you havent already, it's amazing:
Game is beign delisted forever on sept 27th (I think it was).

It sucks about the beta thing..... Dang streamers abusing the system.... But then again I think some people were also abusing the system for Volorant .
I will be saving up my crowns then. Also I wonder if this means that the PS version will have first party PS game skins?
I really liked FH3 (more than its sequel), so I'm tempted to at least pick up the expansion pass, but I'd rather never interact with the Windows Store again.
BANI got AI on day 1 and still haven't played it
I just realized the first game I played with my xbox 1 controller was witcher 2 and the last game I played with it before it broke was witcher 3
So you should buy a new controller by the time Cyberpunk hits, lest you want to risk it breaking an existing controller of yours
Update on Bloodborne on PC :
"Since I probably won't be available for the whole August, here's an update about Bloodborne remaster:
1. There was another big playtest round of PC port in July to address issues that were found during previous QA tests.
2. All found critical bugs were fixed, online functionality is fully operational, the work on the port is almost finished.
3. Don't expect miracles with the framerate, anything above 60 FPS still causing a lot of issues and game will probably be capped at 60 FPS even on PC (though I'm sure modders will figure out how to remove it).
4. Sony wants to push Bloodborne remaster in PS5 launch window line-up, but stuff can still be moved to a later date. Regardless, I personally doubt it won't release in 2020 and it shouldn't take too long for the official reveal since the work on the remaster is more or less done.
5. The official announcement should be in the next few months, but it's hard to tell exactly when and how this will happen. Just like MS and Ubisoft did with their own events, Sony is also planning to host a few showcases before PS5 release, the closest one is the State of Play in August and it MIGHT show up here, but I have no solid evidence that it'll be announced here. I don't like that companies now prefer to hold reveals back instead of announcing everything in one big event (it's crazy that we still don't even know the XSX and PS5 prices), but unfortunately, I can't do anything about it.
6. Still undecided if it's going to be a free update or not for PS4 players who migrate to PS5, remaster includes all GOTY edition content with slightly improved performance and visuals, but nothing really new.
I'll repeat this again, you are free to choose what you want to believe, and it's completely fine if you won't trust me. I'm not making all this up for attention and views, I don't have time and energy to work on my channel right now anyway and provided this update only because people keep asking about any update on the news. This info about Bloodborne remaster is what I've been told by other people that in the past provided me with info about other unannounced games that were officially confirmed later, so I highly doubt that this time I've been lied to. And considering that the same sources told me a few weeks ago to not expect to see Elden Ring on a recent Xbox event and this is ended up being confirmed as well, I'm still going to believe them regarding BB PC stuff.
I know it can be frustrating that it takes so much time for an official reveal, but the coronavirus pandemic messed up a lot of things, including in the gaming industry. I mean, HZD was already in the playable state on PC by the beginning of 2020, but we are getting it only now (not just because of COVID-19 though, Guerilla decided to do additional work on PC version instead of simple direct port, but that's another story). So please be patient, Sony can announce Bloodborne remaster during one of the upcoming events or just drop it randomly as blogpost announcement, but this will eventually happen."

Oh, right.

Oh, right.
Thanks for the info Shahem . It's definitely coming, period. That's good news
Be glad you didn't jump in when the first Episode was released... whew lads. I completely forgot that I needed to actually play through act V until I saw this post. ACT V RELEASED IN JANUARY.
Couldn't finish downloading Fall Guys on PS4 before I passed out after a day of frustration, rage and anxiety. Still loving Mass Effect Andromeda, now that I've got a hold on its somewhat bloated interface, crafting mechanics and the like. Playing as Sarah Ryder and making the moves on Liam, bc I like Liam's back story and he suggests movie nights.
Fall Guys tonight.
How many hours did you play?!!!!!! Those things are tanks and a capital T.
Oh I played it back in like 2013 (fuck!), but I wasn't all that into it and wanted to wait anyway.
That I did.
Oh we waited. And waited. And waited and waited.........
Good thing I spent money on just act 1 and somehow ended up with access to all the following acts and a steam key at a low price. Fitting, as I basically bank rolled development of the following acts somewhat unknowingly as an early access purchaser... :/
I wonder what other outlets are waiting for to report on Bloodborne PC. Surely this must not be a secret.This is 60 fps...
Im gonna cry.
Where is Jason Shreier ?
Anyway, Control coming to Steam August 27 :
Control coming to Steam aug 27th.
Wait what? Steam is getting the Ultimate edition before any other platforms? Even before EGS? How did it happen?
Exactly one year after the release, good 505/Remedy.
now, if you excuse me....
I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!

Some controversy over the 'next gen' upgrade path and this game.Exactly one year after the release, good 505/Remedy.
now, if you excuse me....
I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!
Apparently the base control for the PS4 and XB1 are NOT receiving any next gen upgrade but the next 'Ultimate Edition' is.
We'll start seeing more and more of this and I get people are annoyed but this is a business. You want next gen upgrade? PC people.
Remedy doesn't deserve having their game stolen bc of a publisher decision.My plan was to go to the high seas for the AWE expansion, but I don't need to do that know.
Where did I write I was gonna steal it?
I went to the high seas last year with Control because I refused to buy it on EGS. Now I will give them my money via Steam.
I bought it on EGS, played it for 25 or so hours and I'll gladly buy it again on Steam even at full price. We don't get daring games like Control every day.
Well you didn't say so and now you did. Which sucks.
This isn't necessarily me beating up on you, just a something that really really annoys me over the whole EGS thing. I can't make the leap to "EGS eggsult = now I can steal it bc they stole it from steam" or whatever. I've heard that a lot here and it sucks.
Props for re buying it though.
Wait, so a publisher that screwed over some customers last year decided to screw over some customers this year too? I am shocked.
I honestly have very little sympathy towards bigger studios who claims an EGS moneybag, like Remedy/505, Gearbox, 2K, Deep Silver and so on.
I am way more understanding towards indie devs like House House (Goose Game), Kine dev, What The Golf etc. despite not really liking that they accepted the money.
Ah, its more that people are assuming that they will get 'next gen upgrades' for free.... Which is kind of funny.
Games like Control, actual new IP AAA games, need all the help they can get these days. Just like Indies. Next gen is going to be back enough with project costs and I don't want any publisher to get another excuse as to not greenlight something new. Big studio, big expectations and big fat trigger fingers itching to dissolve talented studios over one or two missed 'milestones'.
EDIT: Of course, the anti EGS rage team is HERE!!!!
I really like this place but the anti egs shit is exhausting. Steam is stronger than ever, it isn't like you have to buy a new piece of under the television hardware to buy the game when it jumps stores, etc.
Didn't Remedy accept the new publishing deal with Epic? Why are people so eager to give them money when their future games won't see a steam release.
You are basically funding their next game which will be exclusive to EGS. Gonna wait for a deep deep discount b4 I bother.

Sure, but still there are companies who earns millions, probably billions in profit via mtx and so on, like Rockstar, who still accept moneyhats.
These companies keeps growing their profit and still accept moneyhats. All they want is more money and they don't care if they fuck over customers in the process.
Heh, the way they handle the console version is scummy. See you on cdkeys, Control. Not giving my money to 505 directly.
Capitalism. Name a gaming company, one who sells a console, designs a graphics card, makes a game big enough to get ads on TV, where this ISNT the case. Small teams and passion projects? They're engaged with the community because they have to be to survive.
Yeah, it's utter bullshit, but it's 505 Games, they same company who accepted EGS moneyhat for Control and Savage Planet and had shitty Death Stranding regional pricing.
I didn't expect much from them.
It's really simple, I fucking love Control aesthetic, I don't care about Remedy's deals (if it's on Steam, GOG or itch, I buy) and I'm not funding shit, and about the last part, we don't know how their publishing brand works so yeah, it may or may not come.
For 40€? I'm so fucking in, if you are not, fair enough, if you are in, enjoy it.
So with PC and Steam you can upgrade sort of a thing and I wonder if that's why they are not doing it since it's just not really on option on consoles and there are also people that purchased it physically.
So what I mean is that even though people purchased the physical copy it's not like that can be "upgraded" to an ultimate edition. Digital copies maybe?
And it just make sense to upgrade the ultimate edition since that's the one that already has all the DLC.
Does this mean that even with the ultimate edition that PS4 will still have exclusive content?
have to agree with this.
I get it, we hate EGS (to varying degrees but nevertheless) but the attitude of “well I’m going to pirate it” is plain wrong, whether or not you get it later on steam, whether or not the revenue for copies is only going to Epic for a while, and whether or not they’re indie or AAA
we can discuss and critique the decisions behind taking the money hat and whether they’re right or wrong, we can gnash our teeth in frustration over it all, but none of it means it’s fair game to steal
Most forums would ban for that admission frankly and rightly so
Wish my GPU wouldn't be dead...
So i could play the Alan Wake expansion...
but nevermind...
Ill just cut myself instead...

It's not rage to point out that exclusivity deals are harmful and bullshit. It's not very nice paint people against EGS for that reason as some kind of immature gang. It's not about who is strong or not, it's about what's right.
On piracy, I have little issues with it and can understand it more than a little. People can call that stealing but in a world with shitty regional pricing and arbitrary restrictions, it's a counter-power that we are very, very lucky to have. I don't think piracy is always right, but when a game is priced 60$ when your monthly income is barely three times that, it becomes something that is hard to call immoral.
More to the point, if we are going to talk morality, this industry could use a lecture or two.
