| Reasonable said: I know this is off topic, but given S.T.A.G.E. has often been fairly pro 360 and clearly likes the console why is he getting so much bashing for simply stating he's a little concerned about the currently known exclusives it'll receive in 2011? His point is fair and at this time the known titles that are 100% 360 exclusive are very thin on the ground and there aren't even that many notable 360/PC exclusives at this point. |
Because people who like exclusives support wife-beaters. We don't like wife-beaters. Do you support wife-beaters?
| Reasonable said: With Valve now commiting themselves to releasing on PS3, and Mass Effect franchise going multi-platform his concerns on exclusive support seem fair enough and he only asked whether others agreed wtih him or not - not to be attacked. In a few months things might change, lot's of exclusives might be revealed, but right now his concern seems fair to me and I don't know why so many are responding as if he's launching some sort of stealth attack on the 360 because, at least IMHO, he's clearly not. |
Theres a lot of online game exclusive support, still. Also we haven't heard anything from several key Xbox 360 related studios for a while now. We don't know what Rare, 343 Studios, Firebird Studios and Lionhead have in store for 2011. So its a little presumptuous especially when Microsoft has made it clear that they want to announce the games closer to release. Beyond this, they tend to release their exclusives towards the back half of the year. No news != bad news.
| Reasonable said: I'd say right now most new titles being shown or pushed are Kinect focused, we all know MS has less 1st party development capabilty than Nintendo or Sony and a number of former key 360/PC franchises developers are now going fully multiplatform (Valve and Bioware). If you're not interested in Kinect - which he doesn't seem to be - I think it's fair to wonder whether you're going to get a few exclusives you might be interested in or whether you're going to get more than that. |
Kinect is being released in November. We don't tend to know of games releasing beyond the end of the calendar year with few exceptions for games being released early like for instance Gears of War 3.
Tease.
