Furthermore, Sony would never took the risk to anounce themselves a title as an exclusive during their own conference last year if there wasn't a true deal going on


I believe they announced FF XIV as exclusive last year, and that may well come to the 360.

It wouldn't surprise me if Agent came to the 360, simply for the fact that Rockstar have left nothing exclusive to the HD consoles this gen. Due to the complicated nature of the agreement Sony may have more rights to the game then a simple timed exclusive agreement so it could end up like another MGS4 scenario. But I'm inclined to believe it will come to the 360.

He worded that VERY carefully

"PS3 will be the ONLY console that will be able to play FF14 in 2010"

Implying timed exclusivity & by saying console he didn't have to take PC's name anywhere



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

This gen has turned changed from "ps3 has no games" to "which ps3 exclusive can we get next". If you really have to ask a question like that, then you should already know which console you need to get.

This my friend is not the case and you know it. It's in a latest 360 mag. So I asked who thinks it's true? No harm done.

And you know that loads of PS3 fans want 360 exclusives to in forums. So dont act like that. There was no need. Your final warning.

Only reason PS3 fans started saying "we want this and that 360 exclusive"....is because 360 fans have been doing it this entire gen so far! You want to know why "PS3 has no games" started? It's because 360 kept getting PS3 exclusives. 

This may very well be something for a 360 mag, but don't act like what he said isn't true. Everytime the mere thought of a PS3 exclusive comes up..."you cant ignore (insert amount) 360 userbase, you're passing on free $$$". PS3 fans wanting 360 exclusives is only something I like to call retalitorial irony. Check any forum and you won't see any PS3 fans asking for Gears of War back in 2007...but when Capcom made DMC4 multiplatform, the only games targeted were Dead Rising and Lost Planet. When Assassin's Creed went multiplat, PS3 fans asked for Splinter Cell. Etc. Now it's become customary for PS3 exclusives to go multiplatform, so now it's only a matter of: where's the equal treatment, developers?

I wasnt making any implication of any fanbase. I pointed out that both sides do it. But my point was that there is no need for that in this thread. Period.

Honestly selnor, I think you're really going to need a PS3 for Agent.

I'm not really interested in Rockstars games. This thread is nothing more than a 4 page article I read to today about Agent coming to 360. GTA4 ruined alot for me. RDR looks like a great game. Definately want to buy it. 

But the reason I asked the forum guys the question is because of my lack of interest in what Rockstar are offering this gen. L.A Noire looks interesting, but another GTA/Mafia clone? It needs extra. 

My piont was only to those guys to stop with insults and abrasive comments. No need.

There is already pleanty of reasons for me to own a PS3 CGI. Heavy Rain & GOW3 are just 2 big reasons. :)



This is not something to be happy about because this is just making the consoles look exactly the same.  Of course, people who only own one console could care less, but when you own both their should be a reason, not what console got a timed exclusive first!



Rockstar promised Agent to be exclusive for PS3, so that way the fans wouldnt complain about GTA4 being mulitplatform.

 

Now the two consoles have equal fanbases and its hard to ignore 40 million potential customers, and they know this.

So many defensive people. Just posting info from the magazine. After all, M$ didnt have enough money to invest in GTA4 being any type of exclusive. Looking at Rockstars sales, it's easy to say that Sony would have to find enough money for perhaps 3 million 360 sales of Agent? Do they have that to make it exclusive? 

Maybe. Rockstar do have an announcement for 360 at E3. What if it's Agent?


It can't be because sony has a CONTRACT with rockstar.. and the game/FRANCHISE is exclusive to playstation platforms..

People acting like PS3 "exclusives" never made their way on the Xbox 360...

Hi @ Tekken
Hi @ Final Fantasy XIII
Hi @ Assassin's Creed
Hi @ GTA IV
Hi @ Devil May Cry IV
Hi @ LA Noire

Look at the sales of Rockstar / Take Two games on 360... 800k for RDR in one week, outselling the PS3 version by more than 50%. GTA IV on 360 outselling the PS3 version by a decent margin as well.

3rd party exclusives doesn't make sense for any publisher with a userbase of 40 million on the rival platform. (excluding the Wii, it couldn't handle this game anyway)

Correction Tekken 1 was a PS1 exclusive, I think your talking about Tekken 6.

Correction GTAIV was NEVER EVER announced as a PS3 Exclusive.


"LOS ANGELES--In one of the most shocking announcements at E3, Microsoft revealed that it quite literally stole away some of Sony's audience. One of the PlayStation's most notoriously popular franchises, the Grand Theft Auto series, is confirmed to be coming to the Xbox 360. Previous editions of GTA were released exclusively on the PlayStation 2 in October, and were later ported to the Xbox. Now we know that Grand Theft Auto 4 will be hitting the Xbox 360 on "day one," alongside the PlayStation 3 version of the game"

It WAS exclusive, but never announced as an exclusive. The only way you could of played GTA4 on was on the PS3, until that.



I don't know. I have a feeling that it won't be long. If this game is a massive undertaking, then I can't see it it being exclusive to the PS3 forever. It's not a question of if, but when now.

Ohhh ok so you agree that Gears of war, Mass effect and All 3rd party 360 exclusives games should be on PS3 too right? they can't ignore 35m install base right?


If those games would come out for ps3... than Heavy Rain, Ratchet & Clank, Resistance would some day come out on 360 too since there not made by a first party developer also right??

 

Anyways.....As I said before 3rd party games are becoming extinct and this game will most likely be multi also



Question if someone doesn't mind.

 

I heard that Sony invested ~$20M into  LA Noire and since things weren't working right they ended up pulling the plug and they got Agent as an exclusive for the money they forked out to Rockstar.

 

Now if R* decides to break the contract and make Agent multiplat, would they need to pay Sony for all the ~20M invested into LA Noire plus any extra they may have been pumping into Agent as well as possibly more incentives?

 

 

I heard that a similar situation like this happened with FFXIII and that is how Sony got Japan exclusivity. I would assume things like that would be done to avoid potential lawsuits for the breach of contract?



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)
