Also MS doesn't even own Alan Wake so what's the point? How can something be first party if they don't own it? Whereas infamous and LBP are owned by Sony, and Sony can hire other developers to make the game ex. PS Move heroes, its a first party title developed by a first party developer, but it has characters that were in sly cooper and ratchet and clank. Both not developed by first party, but owned by Sony. If Sony has control over something then its pretty much first party. MS doesn't have control over Alan Wake or too human. There's a difference. Also who developed it is very difficult to say because when we are talking Sony we are talking worldwide studios. Infamous 2, and LBP 2 are both helped by the God of War team and Naughty Dog team, and these guys have been working together for a long time. Demon's Souls actually has partial credit given to SCE Japan studios along with From Software, so its not exactly a second party game. Not a first party game either. |
Going by your two definitions that you quoted from Wiki, Alan Wake and Too Human are first party. Since they were 'developed'(your words) by the platform holder.
But on a more realistic scale, both Media Molecule and Suckerpunch are(or were, at least) 3rd party devs at the time of their games respective releases
Don't get me wrong, they are first party IPs, but LBP(1) and inFamous are most certainly not 1st party games
Sig thanks to Saber! :D
