The Future of PC Games, According to Microsoft

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the looking-to-the-future dept.

Geaty writes "Gamespot has an article up about Microsoft's big PC plans. Topics covered include why DirectX 9 will be the last DX for a while, the increased game support in Longhorn, and a 'standard' PC controller. Looks to this ignorant reader like Microsoft is trying to tackle the games market (again?), cornering matchmaking and patching. The controller issue seems like an attempt to bring to the PC platform some of the uniformity that consoles have."

    Computers already have standard controllers included. They're called the keyboard and mouse.
