Microsoft has come to the rescue of authentic gamers those who find it difficult to let go of the controls of their game console or the computer mouse, and go out to receive a little sunlight and fresh air. At least, this will be one of the options that will open with the possibility of continue your games on any of your devices with Windows 8.
The details are not yet clear, but what leaves no doubt is that Windows 8 will offer the possibility of “pause and resume your games on any Windows 8 computer, tablet or phone”. Given that Xbox is apparently going to include Zune (Microsoft's unsuccessful alternative to Apple's iPod) in the near future, reappearing as 'Xbox Live Music', as stated by The Next Web, it is more than plausible the hypothesis that Microsoft intends to combine all the gaming experiences on the various devices under the banner of Xbox Live. The game catalog could be unified and the strategy would serve as mutual promotion between games and devices.
Two doubts Important issues regarding the extension of this possibility of 'multi-device' games remain to be resolved. The first, of an economic nature, is obvious: will users who buy every game for every device or will they be universal applications? This can be a factor of the utmost importance in making this service truly attractive, although there is not much reason to get your hopes up.
The second refers to the demand for multiplayer game modes: could it be played against users of other devices? If I can transfer my game from one device to another, can I still compete against anyone using the game, be it on a computer or tablet, for example? This broadening of the range of potential playmates could undoubtedly add additional interest.
The possibility, in any case, of establishing communication between devices is always a convenience well received by users, which is being extended to more and more applications, as we saw recently with the application of Instant Video.
