Sorry I stealth edited that post :p, I was busy making myself breakfast so didn't have time to edit the previous post before but yeah. All companies lose the exclusivity status, Sony lost several since the PS1/PS2 era too, just have to accept that. Besides, there are games that should be enjoyed by all the gamers, and with the Mass Effect's somewhat abysmal sales whilst exclusive were pretty disappointing, hopefully multiplat means ME3 will break 5m.

GAH i repled to the thing you deleted... how did i not notice that haha

It's still there, I just added a boatload of text on top.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

It's this kind of strategy that keeps MGS from needing to maintain a number of large, internal development teams.  Can't say which way is right or wrong, but I can say that this way is definitely more cost effective for maintaining the financial health of MGS.

As for the game ...... this just keeps sounding cooler and cooler.  I hope it actually turns out to be a good product in the end, because the premise is fabulous.


Their supporting new IPs got the gaming world mass effect too. It's good for them and good for the rest of the gaming world(even if the fanboys hate it).


add splinter cell, bioshock, except most companies go multiplat which is annoying afer the support MS gave em.

Well it's a big evil corporation, no one wants to be tied in with that, and that multiplat pie is quite big too, besides Homefront was announced multiplat from the start, just Sony did not support as a way of saying "Thank you" they're offering exclusive DLC. Imo it won't make a shit difference at the end of the day. If Homefront is a hit, the studio should develop an IP or something :p, but that's just my opinion.

I wouldn't say that.  These companies need to survive and if going multiplat is the way that happens then it's fine.  Regardless, those IP's are usually still associated with the Xbox even when they go multiplat (same with previous PS exclusives such as RE, DMC and FF).
