    Anyone here thinking of buying it? Seems to be getting rave reviews across the boards for the Xbox one version. Here's hoping they don't make an ass out of the PC version!

    We should throw up our usernames or whatever the hell windows store uses and set up some sort of group

    I will buy it if its not on GFWL W10 Gaming App.

    Not buying anything on that.

    Unfortunately id say its a dead cert for windows store only, its a Microsoft game so definitely not steam bound

    Quantum Break has been put on steam. Albeit a very long time after release, but there is hope. Would love to play the PC version, but don't want to be locked to the Windows Store, whatever way it works.

    No intention of buying anything if its on the Store, I doubt I am alone in that.

    and apparently its capped at 60fps, will microsoft ever fecking learn! release the damn thing on steam and dont lock disable settings = profit

    Well it seems all you to do is turn v sync off for a variable frame rate (exactly what is supposed to happen)

    Better off buying xbox one version cheaper and getting pc version with it.

    Looks great, in fairness, but I would prefer playing it with controller on Sofa.

    Locked at 60, fair enough, but will it support ultrawide?

    I doubt it. Halo 5 Forge is locked too and the FoV can't be changed either. They have said they will be updating it to unlock the fps and FoV though so hopefully they'll have the same approach to the likes of Forza. Why they would release them on PC with a locked framrate in the first plcae I'll never know.

    to be fair halo 5 forge wasnt really a full on game, fps is only locked with v sync, hopefully they have ultra wide support, racing games seem perfect for it.

    as for xbox one, dont own one or really want one, have a ps4 thats basically a netflix box for herself

    Seventy fúcking euro. Is this a joke? Same with Gears 4 as well, wth.

    Price comparison table:

    |Standard|Deluxe|Ultimate
    EU|€70|€90|€100
    US|$60 (€53.79)|$80 (€71.73)|$100 (€89.66)
    GB|£50 (€58.27)|£65 (€75.75)|£80 (€93.22)

    Will likely pop up on cdkeys for cheaper at some stage.

    I see NVidia are going giving gears 4 out with their cards, which is odd as I'm pretty sure Xbox uses AMD hardware but hopefully I'll be able to grab a copy that way.

    That's what our God Gabe was talking about with Windows 10 and store. Imagine if windows would have gone iOs way. Pc gaming wouldn't be that cheap anymore. Ms would make sure you payed same or more then xbox one prices.
