Megaton if true

Overstating things a bit no?

Megaton is an existing popular multiplat franchise going exclusive, or an existing popular exclusive franchise going multiplat, at the begoinning of a new generation.

This is a new IP from a new developer, with some guys who have a good reputation for multiplayer FPS.

It is for sure a very good grab by MS. What surprises me though is not that they got PS4 shut out, but that they've shut out the PC too (right?).

For me, one less FPS franchise on Playstation is good news.

I actually hope the next generation is the generation of something other than FPS.

Um no it doesnt have to be a well established franchise to be a Megaton

You dont think MS locking down the original Gears of War wasnt a Megaton? Because trust me it was.  This looks to be another one.  With the combination of both MS and EA promoting it and comng from huge scale developers its a big deal.  It would be like if Cliffy Bs bew game were exclusive to a console.  It would be a Megaton

We'd probably need to play the game first to find out. Worst case scenario, this ends up being the next Haze.
The FPS genre is very stale and the odds of a new IP reaching megaton levels of popularity/sales are low. Maybe Microsoft can make it happen though. Why they would want to push Halo competitor so much I dont' know though.
