Microsoft and EA confirmed Titanfall 1 will never appear on another Brand. The 2nd one though could. |
Not could. It will, Cause i can assure you that EA is going to lose money in this deal.
|
Nothings ever that straight forward. Microsoft just advertised Gears Of War for all 4 games. They didnt pay any other money for it. And that was enough to cover exclusitivity. Either way for the next 2 years a Microsoft system is needed to play Titanfall. All versions require Xbox Live cloud to play. Including on PC.
|
It's going to be hard to secure an exclusive where the developers already stated that the sequel will be multiplat.
|
Titanfall was originally not just Xbox exclusive forever. That changed in November last year. Anything can change at anytime. Microsoft have plenty of revenue to hustle PS4. They will try everything from their new studios to exclusives like 3rd party Titanfall. Stating now a game thats not even in development is multiplat is useless.
|
I like to see MS try when they have both Respawn and EA against it. I'm pretty sure EA is kicking itself right now because it realizes it got the worse end of the deal.
|
Epic didnt have a problem with Gears Of War. And that franchise was a 7 mill selling game franchise on each game. Im not saying it wont go to ps4. But EA and MS get on. Exclusive Fifa content, Madden Content, BF4 contennt available on Xbox One first 6 months earler, Titanfall etc. EA do alot with MS.
|
Gears is a bad example because it was made when Xbox was king. The deals for the extra exclusive content was also made before everyone was surprised about the huge success of the PS4. Making stuff exclusive on a console that has 2:1 market share is a bit different than going exclusive on a console that sells less than its competitor. Especially if you are EA and can't stand the thought of losing money.
I just can't imagine EA and other publishers to make big deals with MS if it lacks behind and I don't think MS is willing to just throw every bit of money they have on exclusives. The next years will certainly be interesting.
