The game is a timed exclusive and it is coming to PlayStation 4 and PC after "Holiday 2015", which means it could be released as soon as January 2016 for the other platforms. I'm not sure how Americans define "holiday". Is it Winter or is it just Christmas? Dead Rising was used as an example as Ryse can no longer be seen as a "Microsoft exclusive" after Crytek's recent comments regarding the possibility of it coming to other platforms due to them owning the ip. I imagine the same could be said of Dead Rising, but Capcom haven't revealed any intention of taking the property elsewhere. Then "similar" was used instead of "same", with full knowledge that people would not bother to distinguish the difference between the two words. As an example, Sunset Overdrive is not the same as Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, however it could be said that they are similar. Microsoft's deal with Square is similar in that they are handing over a lot of money, but it is not the same as the game will not be exclusive to their platform for any meaningful period of time. |
Phil Spencer has literally said this. I don't know why people on GAF are freaking out or why anyone here would be confused. He literally said the deal had a duration and they did not buy the IP.
