| S.T.A.G.E. said: Well first party exclusives set the standard and culture for what the main console makers primary types of development style is. With Sony and Nintendo its pretty easy to see where they stand when making games. Sony wants an action packed blockbuster approach with various genres involved and Nintendo likes the family friendly approach. Microsoft has no real identity yet, so hopefully they find it. Exclusives are exclusives but first party generally tells the story of a brands identity. |
Well if those news a month back saying they wanted to make the next years the way they made Halo 4, that is to say a more emotional, character driven storyline, then that would be MS's identity. Halo being the best example, they like to build a vast lore surrounding the IP, as well as extended universes. Gears of War also has comics and novels, but under MS's helm, expect more to come.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
