"We're a very small team, so we had to pick one platform so we actually picked three platforms and just call it one platform."


They are not making the other versions of the game.

Only the 360 version is being outsourced as far as I know, but either way it only goes to show that the size of their studio doesn't matter. When they call it an Xbox exclusive, they are being dishonest. And when they explain why it is "Xbox exclusive", they are also being dishonest.

Ok EA so

1. Fifa gets exclusive content for xbone
2. bf4 gets early dlc
3. garden warfare exclusive to everything but ps4,
4. and titanfall exclusive to pc/360/xbone.

Is this moneyhatting or "thanking xbox fans for their "Support"? I wonder ◔_◔

"McClandlish also shed a bit more light on the decision to make Titanfall an Xbox exclusive (it'll launch for both Xbox One and Xbox 360 in Q1 2014). "We're a very small team, so we had to pick a platform if we were going to be on consoles," he said, "and Xbox made the most sense."

They do realise that anyone with a brain knows they are lying right?

The Xbox One and the PS4 are both PCs in a box and coding for both of them is no problem at all. If they really really really don't have the resources, then they can ask nicely and EA would provide a few people to help them

I don't like it when I am lied to

"I feel that, in terms of multiplayer and communal gaming, Microsoft is like the Apple of videogames. You can just start your game without finding your disc, you can go to your friend's place and your saves are all there, and with the cloud servers you don't ever have to worry about transferring between hosts or bad latency."

So they obviously didn't get the memo about the 180... No more playing without finding your discs (and cloud saves are on PS4 as well.... and PS3 and Vita)

The game does look rather good, I think I'll probably check it out on PC

You also realize the other versions of the game are being out sourced. We all know money exchaged hands, but what they are saying about being small and what not is true.

Yes, the reason that they are not outsourcing a PS4 version is because M$ paid EA (also is the PC version being outsourced, I thought it was just the 360 one?)

I don't know why people are only complaining about Microsoft money hatting, because Sony and Nintendo are doing the exact same thing.

This. Also why should a company tell you everything it does behind the scenes it doesn't make sense, just get this good game and play.

Yea? But where are the ps4's 3rd party exclusive dead rising, titanfall, garden warfare (coming out on everything but ps4)? All 3rd party moneyhatted (early) exclusives. Don't give me the bs that it can't be done on ps4. Sony is funding its 1st party while M$ are moneyhatting 3rd parties cause their 1st party can't do much.

I prefer truth. Microsoft paid. It's easy to say and understand. It's no different than COD or BF... other than Titan Fall not being as big a franchise as those 2 are.


duh! hence the being apple part. now if they start buying up ip then  suing retroactively the cycle will be complete
