Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Multiple timed X1 exclusives - Confirmed by "Below" developer

Titanfall for sure, but if it's not then EA is going to be very disappointed. The Call of Duty killer and right now it has less than 25,000 preorders in the US.


When does it release? Commercials out yet? I'm sure the sells will pick up besides it's not like it's releasing on 360s user base. People are still deciding which to get. Some may be Christmas gifts or some may get the heavy out of the way 1st(system) and later start buying.

A lot of people interested in games coming out on X1. But it was labeled dead on arrival still for the same guys.

lol Microsoft put their hands in everyones back pocket this time around. Quantum Break and Titan Fall will be on PC....those are the only ones that really matter that are outside of first party.


Quantum Break is a 1st party and 2nd party title.  Being worked on from Remedy and L.A. Microsoft Studios. 

Also taking confirmation from a guy outside of the companies with deals is a bit odd to me.   Unless it comes from the developers making the games it is speculation, not confirmation.  All this does is confirm that Below is a timed exclusive. Everything else is speculation.  If some do go multiplat then that is fine but this is far from confirming.. What happens, happens.




       

I don't believe MS has some elite stable of exclusive 3rd party games (no one does anymore), but that quote doesn't really mean anything.



Doubt it. At most Garden Warfare and Titanfall are the only games I expect to see come out on another console.

But you do understand that it doesn't mean that it will come to PS4. Just like this generation Xone + PC = nothing for PS4. Keep dreaming :p



Dead Rising 3,Minecraft,Titanfall,Crimson Dragon and PvZ:GW are the most likely to be going Multiplat.

I doubt that Quantum Break will hit PC because it intergrates that whole tv thing.



Below, Minecraft, Titanfall and PvZ.

Companies go after timed exclusive, because it works. Titanfall on PS4 in spring 2015 won't make a difference for example.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I'm sure that "published by MS" means nothing after all.

Only first-party you can say it is 100% exclusive.

So from the third-party game I'm sure Titanfall is timed exclusive but the source says "multiple" that means more than one.

So at least one more is timed exclusive:

Dead Rising 3?
Ryse: Son of Rome?
Sunset Overdrive?
D4?
MineCraft?

The MineCraft already said the game is timed exclusive... so I bet that the one of them.


It means nothing?  Looking at the past, it means a great deal.  There is just a small fraction of third party games that wereublished by microsoft that have gone multiplat (excluding pc of course).  In fact, there are only two that I can think of, which is mass effect and ninja gaiden 2.  With mass effect the developer and ip was bought out and it still took 5 years for it to be released on multiple platforms and ninja gaiden was essentially remade.  

I would say it is very unlikely any of the big retaild exclusives published by microsoft will go multiplat.  History tells us that.  Games like titanfall and the indie games are likely to be timed exclusives, but not ryse or dead rising.
