Forums - Microsoft - Titanfall designer on Xbox exclusivity: "Microsoft is like the Apple of videogames"

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

I'll complain about all of Sony and Nintendo's third party exclusives just as soon as they have any.

Although it isn't really the "moneyhatting" that bothers me. I think it's a bad strategy long term for both platform holders and third parties to become reliant on the practice rather than more organically and sustainably building a userbase, but whatever. I just don't like it when people talk to me like I'm an idiot about how their game is "onley possable wit teh clowdz" or some such nonsense, like I can't figure out that money has changed hands.

I thought that was an attack at first. Seems to be some sort of compliment...


Not THIS was a HILARIOUS post lol.

On Topic

That's a big statement, I may not be excited for Titanfall but I do want to see how it does and how it turns out game wise though!



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

I think the complain is that devs (not just ones that do exclusive games for microsoft) go and praise the console they are working for saying their game could only happen on it, or that it has a perfect direction. But in reality they are working exclusively on that platform because of money, and not because they chose to. 



After this game bombed they will do fast a PS4 version of it lol

It won't bomb. At least, the 360 version won't.

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.


Actually, XBox is the brand they use for their gaming division nowadays, just like XBox music. Talking about XBox exclusivity means it being tied to the XBox brand. They use it for WP8, W8, XBox360 and now XBox One. You focus too much on it being exclusive to one console, not the brand. MS couldn´t care less if you buy it on either platform, it will make them tons of cash anyways :).

That's all very fascinating, but this does nothing to support their claim that they are making the game for only one platform (when they're not) because they are such a small developer.

I hope so but I'm not sure... I think Destiny will have more success accross all plataforms than Titanfall.
