Shenmue 3 was financed via kickstarter. Sony only gave them stage to promote kickstarter campaign. And, yeah, it doesn't even count because it will be on PC so you don't need PS4 to play it. FF7 is a question. Might go multiplatform like FF Versus XIII did. Because FF7 remake will be next gen game. Considering they had to start over last year, it isn't releasing until late 2020 at earliest. So, this kinda backs my point - there are almost no true exclusive JRPGs that require you to have PS4 in order to play them except for maybe some small ones that don't release in the west. |
Officially yes, but I'm pretty sure Sony have/will put money on it as well. The amount raised in Kickstarter doesn't seem like what would be needed if they were to go their full vision. But well even if Sony doesn't put a cent on it the advertisement itself is worth quite some money (well Sony also benefitted a lot from it).
And there is almost no full exclusive anyway besides the ones made by 1st party. And on that it is quite curious that on VGC every time some doesn't put a game on Nintendo platform we got a lot of complains but when they put only on Nintendo even without moneyhat we don't see as much complain (and probably would get quite some defenses on why it makes sense).
