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 wish they spent more on new studios than paying to keep multiplatforms off the rival system.

It would actually be better for xbox fans since they would get to play the game which MS would have otherwise paid to keep off the PS4 but they would also get another proper exclusive by staff directly working for MS.

effectively by paying third party devs they end up with 1 third party exclusive + hate from everyone that got screwed over because of the deal

by paying for their own game they end up with 1 first party exclusive + 1 multiplatform game - hate for buying success.

considering the third party studio is making money, its reasonable to assume MS are paying them more than their staff is getting paid so it would also be cheaper to make their own games. Furthermore, they end up with revenue from 2 games, 1 exclusive and 1 multiplatform which will still make a ton of money.

On top of that they get seen as the company to brings new IP's to gaming instead of the one that buys most things and has halo up their sleeve.
