Okay, I have to admit that I'm curious. What criteria are you using for a game to be considered first party?
|
LOL...First party is first party. Its a game made by the company themselves or a subsidiary that they own.
|
In that case then all Halos except for Halo 4, Gears of War, Project Gotham, Journey, Ratchet and Clank, Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, White Knight Chronicles, Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy, Heavenly Sword, Resistance, the old Spyro games and many others aren't first party.
Time for adjustments I guess.
|
Most of those games are second party and third party. All the Halo's and Heavenly Sword are first party because they were made while the companies were under ownership of MS and Sony. Sony themselves have still made more new IP's than all the other companies. Insomniac was second party to Sony as Rare was to Nintendo. That make sense?
|
Ninja Theory was never owned by Sony, Bungie become independant (again) at the same time Halo 3 was released.
|
Wrong. Ninja Theory was owned by Sony until Heavenly Sword figures didnt come in positive.Bungie left Microsoft after Halo Reach.
|
"On October 1, 2007, Microsoft and Bungie announced that Bungie was splitting off from its parent and becoming a privately held Limited Liability Company named Bungie LLC."
"In May 2005, Ninja Theory were on the verge of becoming defunct due to the collapse of the gaming studio Argonaut Games; however, soon after the announcement was made, the BBC reported that Sony Computer Entertainment had signed them up to make an exclusive video game for the upcoming PlayStation 3."
That game was Heavenly Sword. Signed != Bought.

Halo as we know it (before he was bought away from Apple) therefore making it first party. Regardless of whatever time the teams left it will always be first party. Heavenly Sword is a first party IP, but I see your point that Ninja Theory was never owned by Sony.
Super Smash Bros will be made by Namco but it will still be a first party game for Nintendo.
