From the official statement: "Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that Lost Planet 2 is being developed for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, following an exclusive announcement on Xbox LIVE that happened Monday, February 23." Read that again. Read it carefully. The game is being developed using Capcom's own in-house development tools, the MT Framework 2. Capcom's MT Framework makes it possible for Capcom to create multi-platform titles like Devil May Cry 4, a title once thought to be a PS3 exclusive. Timed exclusive anyone?" http://kotaku.com/5159984/capcom-says-lost-planet-2-is-being-developed-for-the-xbox-360 not too terribly surprised im betting timed exclusive much like kotakus write up. sales of the port for the ps3 are abysmal it makes me wonder if they had ported dead rising to the ps3 and it flopped would it have gotten dead rising ... well good to hear the ps3 brethren are getting dead rising anyway its the better of the two games much better |
Still poor logic on Capcom's part, IMO. I mean, all timed exclusivity does is ensure that the eventual PS3 version will have abysmal sales yet again... in exchange for moneys nao!!!, of course. But they're gimping the growth of their own franchise, and aren't they trying to make a theatrical release movie of this thing?
