| Imaginedvl said: I do not think anyone can argue about that :) Titanfall is a very bad example tho. It went exclusive because Microsoft basicaly founded the game... Without Microsoft, Titanfall would simply not be here. It is not a matter of how much they give vs how much they get in return (or the potential) but more go or no-go for the whole project. |
Omg you all of you forget what happened behind the scenes
Yes Microsoft helped Respawn Entertainement with money(all they can do)
But Titanfall wasn't Exclusive to Xbox at that point.
Doesn't anyone remember how Zampella tweeted "Just found out EA signed an exclusive deal with Microsoft for Titanfall 1"
This wasn't part of the plan of Respawn Entertainment - This went behind their back.
Directly after that we could read "Future games won't be exclusive" - IT WAS NEVER THE PLAN OF RESPAWN ENTERTAINMENT TO GO EXCLUSIVE!
Microsoft as everyone else could see how the PS4 is destroying them and they needed a safe bet which should have been CoD 2.0
EA admitted themself they didn't see this Gen turn that way out.They probably would have NEVER ever taken the money and acted like that behind the back of Respawn Entertainment if they would have guessed the PS4 is making such a joke out of the X1 even in the USA.
In the end it didn't do much damage - Even with giving away the game for free they couldn't hurt the PS4.The gap instead widened cause Sony is in a position where they can react.
Without EA being so greedy im pretty sure Titanfall would have been on the PS4 at least later in this year of 2014.
At least they got served wrong - The PS4 Version would have outsold the X1 Version easily
WatchDogs and soon Destiny are probably something like heavy hits to the faces of those people at EA.
What i really hate is following
Microsoft is dead last place and will have to put out a fight to even threaten the WiiU
Now they are wounded like a cornered animal...If they wouldn't be Microsoft they would drop out of the industry and we could enjoy gaming a little bit more than we currently do.
But sadly they are Microsoft - Releasing shiity OS and PC stuff here and there makes them billions and sadly true gamers will get hurt by it
What do we read everywhere on the Internet?
Microsoft secured tons of big > 3rd party exclusives" for E3 - Of course we don't know if this is true and if what those games are.
The first rumor we heard of was Resident Evil - WHy would Capcom do that?The PS4 Version will outsell a X1 version by at least 4:1 easily especially in this Gen.What is MS offering?1 Billion $?
Fallout 4?Personally i wouldn't care as long as it is on PC cause of the mods but pretty sure the PS4 version would run better.
Sadly Microsoft has unlimited resources and is now just looking for ways to destroy the joy of true gamers.
They don't fund every game they secure(Sunset Overdrive is completely ok) but making these shady deals with offering more money than those games are worth is just disgusting.
Rather exclusive marketing like Sony is doing it - It works.
WatchDogs and PS4 destroyed the X1 and their version.Destiny will do the same.
And i hope Publishers make it really expensive in the future for Microsoft even if it doesn't hurt them.
The money through sales is on the PS4 cause it is the platform of choice by gamers.WatchDogs shows it perfectly.
We don't care anymore if FF15 and other things are multiplat - They won't help Microsoft at all and make the fun even bigger in forums when we can say "HAHAHAHA outsold it by 2389273908247359825 units"
But it is annoying if they bribe publishers to exclude the biggest part of gamers.
At this point it generates probably even more hate against Microsoft anyway - People have accepted the PS4 is the way to go...BÄM 1 Billion on random 3rd Party Exclusive > People are angry they either don't get the game to play in its best console version or they have to buy a useless overpriced 720p(the X1 should cost around 200$) paperweight with tons of secret fairy tale souces even McDonalds would be jelly :D
