When I talked with Sean a few years ago at the Gamestop conference, his goals were practically Molyneaux level ambitious. Sean said he'd like it to go to Xbox, but wouldn't consider that until the game was finished, so maybe you're right about the expansion. Unfortunately, I don't know what to expect from Next just yet but I think it has the potential to positively impact on the reception it receives on the Xbox One.

I know I'm making assumptions here, but I'm going to guess the point of 4K is resolution.
@ Tyler
I understand why you have disbelief that I talked with Sean Murray at the Gamestop conference a few years ago, but this was always his intent. He wanted the game multiplatform, but needed to focus limited resources on one version of the game. Obviously, his ambitions required all of this time post launch just to make what he felt was a complete enough game to release it on Xbox.
@ MakoD
It is generally accepted that if the publisher owns the IP it is still first party, but you are correct it could still be considered a 2nd party game by some. Here's a quote from your link:
"Second-party developer is a colloquial term often used by gaming enthusiasts and media... In reality, the resulting game is first party (since it is funded by the platform holder, who usually owns the resulting IP), but the term helps to distinguish...
Wot U mean?
Yep.
N4G, not so much.
@ Gaming United
MS owns the Quantum Break IP, so it's a first party game. MS also published Tomb Raider, which is 3rd party because MS didn't own the IP.
@indysurfin
Even if what you say about not being able to look at the games was true, it took me no time at all to look it up on the internet (from my Xbox One) by searching, "what games are on game pass"...

I told everyone from the beginning that I'd talked with the devs at the Gamestop conference about it coming to Xbox. They said that they were a small studio and wanted to focus on one version first and then consider porting it to Xbox later. I assumed they decided not to after the reception it received but I'm glad they improved it so much post-release and have finally ported it over.
@ Lokii
Nope, they're listening to what the people who enjoy the game are saying, not some trolls who keep posting at N4G.
Yep. The fix was done in less than a day.
Not exactly what I'd call, 'Devastating".
All you did was spin, Rainslacker, like you always do. What you said after each quote was nothing but spin; you're so blind it's unreal.

Yep! I consider it a come from behind victory for inserting AO content into a console release!!!

"Who cares about how many people joined a free chat group..."
Thanks for proving your ignorance (and how many ignorant lemmings there are on this site to agree with you). The, "free chat group" is for people who like the game (as I mentioned in my OP; hence making you ignorant) and since not everybody who likes the game joined a SoT club it means that more than 400,000 of the 2,000,000 users are having fun with SoT. Th...
I just thought about something. The first Far Cry was unique in that your character kept mutating throughout the campaign. Wouldn't it be great if they took their open-world experience and reimagined the plot to the original Far Cry? Maybe threw in a little map editing into the campaign a la Fallout 4 or Ark?
It always bugged me that Far Cry's sequels are all about random people in similarly harrowing situations rather than continuing the story of Jack Carver.
"No one can spin B.S. as good as Microsoft."
Every one of you here ignoring facts while commenting on these articles spin better than MS. Less talking, more reading... might do you some good (but I doubt it).
From the article: "We’ve also been blown away by how the game has bought players together. More than half of a million new Xbox Live friendships have been forged to date and over 400,000 players have joined an Xbox Club to find pirat...
Good to see they are quick to resolve their issues.
Astronauts recycle and drink their own pee and they're perfectly fine. You just have to filter out the contaminants first.
