| Aura7541 said: J_Allard, there are different ways of getting exclusivity and some are more ethical than others. Sony has been known for being a "prove it" publisher via their indie policies. They've also gambled on a few games. MS wanted Quantic Dream to remove the child kidnapping entirely from Heavy Rain, but Sony gave Quantic Dream a chance and look what happened. Same with ThatGameCompany. MS didn't approve of their games, but Sony gave them a chance and the PS3 got fl0w, Flower, and Journey. MS, on the other hand, has been infamous for moneyhatting 3rd party games to make them exclusives. They are also infamous for having the smallest team of 1st party devs and much of the 1st party devs are unknown. 343 is no Bungie. People criticized Halo 4 for being a step down from Halo Reach and Halo 3. Rare has not recently made a non-Kinect game and who knows when they'll actually make one. So ultimately, no. People respond negatively to MS because of distrust, not agendas. Therefore, I'm agreeing with S.T.A.G.E. on this one. |
Just people like you and STAGE that come up with fallacies like this.
Who is Quantic Dream? And their games are the ones you should be writing about being pointless compared with Titanfall. Interactive movies infested with QTEs...
Why didn't MS approve of ThaGameCompany games? Is there a disclosure to what they said in their meetings or you're just speculating?
And what's infamous about funding 3rd party games and make it exclusive?
People criticize 343 due to the multiplayer, because the campaign was epic with one of the most exciting chapter of the Halo saga.
Do you know why Rare made only Kinect games since 2010? Kinect Adventures and Sport outsold or equal all the Sony 1st party titles combined since then. Just those two games. Is that economically and logically compelling enough for a publisher?
Ultimately you guys agenda is not even hidden.
Plus how was Titanfall pointless when it drove up XBL activity and it moved consoles?
