Wow.. NextBox gets an exclusive game - who would have guesed that....

And the makers say it's the coolest game ever - now noone saw that coming...

Seriously people, what is wrong with all those content-free threads that are popping up (or more precisely, are copied from other websites the minute they go up there)?

Yeah it is a big deal if it comes from EA and it is only on Xbox.

Plus its from respawn and its a shooter! :)


Yeah but I'm burned out on shooters when I think about it, not sure if I would get this game depends on how it looks.

It will probably be good, but then again a lot of next gen games are looking amazing. I just like to poke fun at Microsofts ability to mix it up. :)

"I really hope the exclusive rumors are false"

"Please come to PS4"

"please no xbox exclusive"

"I really hope its a myth your title will be exclusive to Microsoft"

"Really hope it is not Xbox exclusive. I was looking forward to supporting a great team"

"better now be exclusive -_- been waiting for your game and ill be upset if its just for Microsoft consoles"

"hope it comes to ps4. Bigger potential market and satisfy all your fans"

I don't see anything wrong here. Those people have every right to wan this game on their platform. It doen't make business sense to make it exclusive either. If EA/Respawn want this game to at least put up a fight against the likes of Call of Duty or Battlefield, it MUST be multi-platform. We've seen what timed-exclusivity does with games like Bioshock and Mass Effect. Considering the quality of these franchises, they don't sell very well. It's all because of poor business decisions made earlier in the generation. Bioshock Infinite should have sold double what it did at launch.

So do you feel the same about the timed exclusives announced for the PS4?


Lol I think Kaz and S.T.A.G.E. forgot that they showed Killzone and Destiny at the PS4 reveal Fail. 

Fixed.



A new exclusive shooter makes sense on the "shooter console" Xbox.

But every console has its exclusives.

If Sony focuses on JRPG's again like the did during he PSone and PS2 era, the Japanese will buy PS4's like hot cakes. The Japanese barely bought PS3's because they were alienated by Sony focusing so much on western games. The Japanese were basically forced into Wii/DS mode.


More JRPG on PS3? I can agree Square-Enix is doing nothing to support JRPGs this gen but the others companies... Tales never got so much game in a generation before and there the new exclusive TOP AAA JRPGs... I'm fine with JRPGs this gen but at the same time disappointed with Square-Enix.

Anyway the PS3 sold less than 2 million units than Wii in Japan... you can say it did really great.

Overstating things a bit no?

Megaton is an existing popular multiplat franchise going exclusive, or an existing popular exclusive franchise going multiplat, at the begoinning of a new generation.

This is a new IP from a new developer, with some guys who have a good reputation for multiplayer FPS.

It is for sure a very good grab by MS. What surprises me though is not that they got PS4 shut out, but that they've shut out the PC too (right?).

For me, one less FPS franchise on Playstation is good news.

I actually hope the next generation is the generation of something other than FPS.

Um no it doesnt have to be a well established franchise to be a Megaton

You dont think MS locking down the original Gears of War wasnt a Megaton? Because trust me it was.  This looks to be another one.  With the combination of both MS and EA promoting it and comng from huge scale developers its a big deal.  It would be like if Cliffy Bs bew game were exclusive to a console.  It would be a Megaton

There are no timed-exclusives announced for PS4. Hell, there's no timed-exclusves announced for XBox 720. 
There was a similar rumor about the Destiny games and we saw how that turned out.

Although I would like to have timed-exclusive PS4 games, I know its unfair for the gamer community. The only way it is fair is in a Bayonetta 2 type of situation where the game would never have been made without partnerships. From what I understand from this rumor, the game was already a good amount of time in development only to be snatched up by Microsoft because they don't have enough 1st party content for launch.

Again, these are rumors so let's not get away from outselves. Kotaku isn't the most reliable of sources anyway.

We'd probably need to play the game first to find out. Worst case scenario, this ends up being the next Haze.
The FPS genre is very stale and the odds of a new IP reaching megaton levels of popularity/sales are low. Maybe Microsoft can make it happen though. Why they would want to push Halo competitor so much I dont' know though.



Timed exclusive at most.
