Where the hell has he said xbox ? Other platforms doesn't necessarily mean the 360.

Selective journalism to gather hits FTW !

They made an assumption but is it a bad one?

I mean looking at the state of PC gaming that would hardly open them up to a massive new audience.

Looking at the kind of games they make I dunno if they'll want to go for the Wii market

That leaves PS3 and 360.


but the PC is the home of the adventure game, and adventure (excluding "action" adventures, read shooters/brawlers with adventuring) games do better on PC than any other platform so it is logical that the latest branch in the genre would come to the PC lol.

They used to do well on PC

But Heavy Rain sales show where a lot of potential is.

Do you think a future game similar to Heavy Rain would do better on PC than on xbox 360?

than 360? yes you can't expect the "shooter box" (I am told that's what it is called these days) to sell more copies of a game like that than the PC, not in the long term. I mean just look at the game 360 fans were hyping up as the rival to heavy rain Alen wake and that was a shooter. No the only obvious place for that kind of game is the PC, I mean if the Witcher can sell 1.5 million copies I don't see why Heavy rain couldn't as long as the port was good. 

See my reasoning is flawless, no straw needed...

Well then Sony can ask another developer to make Heavy rain 2.

that way we get a new game from quantic dreams and have heavy rain at the same time.

This gets to the bigger issue of exclusivity vs. multi-platform.

Exclusivity is a reality. Without exclusivity we would not be able to differentiate one console from the other in terms of the experience. Exclusives matter because they have are tradition and as such are expected and wanted. Exclusives matter most to Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony, not the game developers or publishers.

Multi-platform is what every game developer should aspire to. Making an exclusive game, you are in fact limiting your audience, thus limiting your market and total lifetime sales. Multi-platforming allows for a wider audience and possible higher lifetime sales. In essence, multi-platform is a win-win for both the individual game developer and the individual gamer.

EA and Bioware chose to multi-plat Mass Effect 2 for the very reasons I listed of a higher audience and higher lifetime sales. As a 360 owner, am I pissed that the greatest series of the 360 is being given to Sony gamers? Sure quite a bit, but I understand the reasons, which allow me to swallow that sour pill.

In my mind, Sony has more quality exclusives than Microsoft without a doubt. Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid are franchises I grew up with in my formative years and still have fond memories of to this day.  Furthermore, with doubt about the Final Fantasy 13 vs. being available for the 360, I feel as if it is a one way street where classic franchises are released and become phenomenons on the 360 to later be given to Sony gamers without 360 gamers getting something in return.

What I want in return is the Heavy Rain series going multi-plat. Is this too much to ask?

you'll never see Heavy rain on the 360.

1. Heavy rain devs officially said they will not be working on a heavy rain sequeal.

2.Heavy rain is published by SONY.

now this doesn't mean Quantic dreams can't make a new game that is multiplatform, look at it like Insomniac games resistance and ratchet is still exclusive because the IP is owned and published by SONY but they will be making a different game which is multiplat that will be published by EA.

ea will not publish it it is ea partners insomniac will own their own game

Quantic Dream strive for realism in their games, it's natural to assume that the only other options for them going multiplat is the 360 or the PC.

Then it would definitely be PC over the 360 if they strive for realism

I would have thought the 3DS would have been a better guess, touch pad, 3D tech, guaranteed userbase etc.

I don't know why, but I remembering reading that Quantic Dream had a three game publishing deal with Sony, can anyone confirm or deny this? It may have been a different developer.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Where was this attitude during previous generations? Where was the outcry about everything should be multi-plat during the PS1/PS2 generations when sony was getting  a ton of exclusives.

God I hate how senationlized/lionized multi-plat games are this generation.People act like its damn crime against humanity to make an exclusive game.Am I supposed to shead tears because 360 only owners can't play Uncharted and PS3 only heads can't play Halo? Boo-fucking-hoo.

As a PS3/360 owner I want both consoles to have as many exclusives as they can...I want UNIQUE experinces from my consoles.Everything going mutiplatform takes away all the fun from being a multi-console owner.

Its become fucking annoying hearing people say they want EVERYTHING to be muti-plat...Every damn franchise,Developer,etc...LET THESE CONSOLES HAVE A DAMN IDENTITY.

But the truth of the matter is this...Alot of these people are one console owners and they simply want the games they are missing out on on other consoles and could really give a rats ass about what other people are "missing out on".They hind behing talking points like "You shouldn't limit your audience" and "yay more games for everyone" and "Its good that more people get to play this" and other lame gamer-hippie talk which they really don't mean.

I much pefer games to be exclusive, even when not on my favorite system...they just always seem to turn out better when the devs can optimize for one system.  and to me, QD makes games that really fit the best with the sony userbase so i would hope that QD makes their next game exclusive to the ps3...

...but, in this gen no one deserves free exclusives.  if sony won't pony up to buy the studio or the game then the studio derserves the right to make it multi-plat.  but boy i wish sony would buy QD, still annoyes me they let insomniac get away.
