lol, no ones melting down.
He knows everything that happens with the franchise. They sold the first game to MS, not the IP.
pff Just sale to MS bank massive $ pull away from Ea and start a new IP.
I would recommend Zampella to sell the game to microsoft for a lot of money and then just make another clone game but a little different. Everyone will jump on that simply because zampella and respawn are behind it and microshaft will get shafted for the first time :)
Poor EA. PS4's succes is good enough to make you go green!
EA's policy is to multiplat everything because that's the way you get max revenue out of anything. Heck they even found a way to get Mass Effect (a Microsoft published game) onto PS3. The kind of money MS would have to offer EA to make the TF franchise a permanent MS exclusive would have to be pretty astronomical for them to throw their multiplat policy out the window.

| UltimateUnknown said: I just don't get it. How does the game end up getting a lifetime exclusivity to MS platforms without their approval? Clearly if Respawn owns the IP, EA can't just make such an exclusivity deal without the permission of Respawn. In that case, Respawn clearly WANTED the game to be exclusive to MS platforms for whatever reason. So, why don't they just come out and admit that rather than dancing around the topic giving vaguely defensive answers such as "We didn't know" and "We didn't sell it", and following them up with "We own the IP". This is getting ridiculous. |
The reason Respawn developed TitanFall for Xbox 1 is because they want their first project to focus on only 1 console. Based on the 360, they predicted that the XB1 would be the market leader so they choose Xbox.
Ea sold Lifetime Exclusivity for Titanfall to Microsoft, because they thought the same thing, but Microsoft owns Titanfall the game, not the franchise ip. So MS would have to rebuy TitanFall 2 to keep it exclusive. Its a case similar to that of Mass Effect, where MS bought ME1 console exclusivity for the 360. I doubt that this extends to this gen though as that would mean that the XB1 couldn't get ME1 as well as the PS4, but that might be circumvented if it exists if the trilogy is sold as a single product.

Like I said earlier somewhere, it'd probably have to be hundreds of million, if not a billion. The math (obviously not spot on): TitanFall would be a $1bil profit game if multiplat (like CoD is). That's $333mil on PC, $333mil on XB and $333mil on PS (not spot on). Not going multiplat would lose ~$333mil potentional profits each game. Now TitanFall will be a franchise, so 3 games would already be $1bil lost in potentional profits, possibly even more.
Not going multiplat with the sequels would be one of the dumbest things ever seen in the gaming industry.
