maybe who knows but SONY certainly seems upset at M$ for something. M$ gets alot of undeserved hate for buying games out but honestly they dont do that very much. The main reason they are getting the 3rd party formor exclusives is because the recession is making these developers sell to every possible consumer.

They're pissed off at MS because MS is beating Sony at its own game, spreading money around to get games from developers. This used to be Sony's thing when they could afford bidding wars with the other players (much financially weaker than MS, like Sega and Nintendo).

 

 

Preach On brotha!!!

Really? Is that what you REALLY think? Then, where are all the new original games M$ is getting from the industry? I don't see anything that pushes the industry forward, so you need to let me know what those games are.

 

I didn't say it's exclusives, although there's some exclusive and a lot of timed-exclusive content on the 360. There's the games which used to be exclusive to the PS3 but aren't any longer (such as FFXIII), and things like the exclusive GTA4 DLC which Microsoft sponsored. And of course all the games Microsoft got in Japan which would clearly have sold better on the PS3 or Wii.

Do you really think Microsoft's wallet didn't play a part in at least some of those things?

Maybe it will be a Monster Hunter game?



Heavens to Murgatoids.

The game that i think is being hinted to lose exclusivity is LA noire, quite old news though

You know what would be huge?Diablo III on 360, that's the only third party game that would come as a surprise.



But war... war never changes

m$ breaking the bank could be that they moneyhatted "ff7" remake and its only on 360. that would destroy what ever sony would announce at e3.

sony owns publishing right for anything FF 7 related and also were publisher of the PS FF7, also probably the reason Crisis core didn't go to the DS even with the biggest base.

 

Please tell me you're joking. 

Someone with over 4000 posts should know better.

Hint: Eidos published the PC version of FF7. I don't think anyone even remotely thinks Eidos owns the publishing rights to FF7 (after the takeover they might...)

No he's right it is pathetic, rather than "stealing" exclusives and buying people out, why not make some games of their own?

i bought a 360 to have games such as mass effect and alan wake, at E3 i want to hear of new games i can also get for xbox i dont want to hear that they've bought someone else exclusive, they could use that money to make a game

Haze port?

I don't think even Square Enix would stoop so low as to say "PS3 only WW" and then say "Actually 360 too". The 360 may well get an exclusive FF13 game (Versus PS3 exclusive, Agito PSP exclusive, maybe one each for 360 and Wii? Or 360 and DS, or Wii and DS).

As for MGS5...it really depends. That could go to 360. Kojima didn't refuse to make a 360 version of MGS4 because he loves Sony, he did it because he'd already optimised the game for one console, and it would be too much work for too little gain to make a 360 version. He said he didn't know if MGS5 would be multiplat or not...I think, with the pressure from Konami, he'll make a 360 version. It may be timed exclusive. One thing for certain is that MGS4 IS NOT COMING TO THE 360. IN ANY FORM.

It's too late to announce MGS4. It would be a year old, by E3, and would have just about as much effect as announcing now that Mass Effect was coming to the PS3... "Okay..."
