It is a trick. They did the same thing with Bioshock. They paid to keep it away from Sony for a year. The second Titanfall will come to Sony, but the first will stay exclusive to Microsoft. This is what Microsoft ALWAYS does but Sony has real exclusives to actual franchises and that is why they will win out in the end. Microsoft can play the games but Sony will always come to the party with their own goods that they made.

Wait, so you are saying that Microsoft paid money to get this new IP developed and as an exclusive, but it will be later made better on a Sony console because it has better exclusives?

Eventhough Microsoft and others have paid for the development and exclusivity?


No. I am saying the second Titanfall will be on both next gen consoles. Microsoft is using the first game to draw consumers to the Xbox One. Its the same tactic they tried with Mass Effeect. When they like a franchise but don't own the IP this is how they act. Microsoft has been paying EA a ungodly amount of money to have the edge in the launch. Sony doesn't need to pay everyone to beat Microsoft in the end. All they have to do is out develop them. Not saying that Sony doesnt try to get DLC or content, but Microsoft has a rule for third party that if they get a late game they no longer want it. No late games. Sony has a rule that if Microsoft or any competition causes them to have a late game the stipulation for causing lateness to their gamers their games need to come with DLC. 

I would implore you to go to Gamestop and look at the amount of games Sony got with extra DLC because Microsoft paid companies to stay away from them for specific amounts of time. The majority of the "exclusives" had in their first two years were timed exclusives or paid to keep away from Sony. I got a 360 first because I know they would keep games away from Sony. I just waited for Sony to drop the price of the PS3 and amass a greater amount of true exclusives than Microsoft and play that. The same will occur this gen, but not as much as last gen since both launched around the time time.

EDIT: Forget it. I read wrong what you wrote :(



I'll think about the second secret sauce when i'll be convinced about the first one.



hm.. does "MS" actually stand for "million sauces" or sth. ? :)



Idk if its the second secret sauce or not but Game of the Generation secret sauce is the strongest secret sauce.

Come on man, you don't really think people were buying PS3's for all the exclusives do you.


Resistance 2 - 2.38 m.

Resistance 3 - 1.33 m.

Killzone 2 - 2.9 m.

Killzone 3 - 2.5 m.

Infamous 1 - 2.66 m.

Infamous 2 - 1.6 m.

LBP2 - 2.98 m.

God of War Ascention - 1.49 m.

The Entire 1st Party Vita Library - under 4.6 million.

GoW3 5M + LBP 5M+ UN2/3 6M+ Metal Gear 4 5M+ Gran Turismo 10M+  TLoU 3.4 million in 3 weeks. Resistance 1 4M+ Motorstorm1 3.7M

way to go to cherry pick the exclusives that sold less. i mean god damn thats one stupid point you were trying to make. 

also LBP2 isnt even properly tracked in EU, so is Infamous 2.

You're right, it is from the makers of Modern Warfare 1. Wasn't it a revolution back in the seventh gen?

I highly doubt the sequel will be exclusive too, unless EA just hates money. Anything less than $150m for exclusivity would be a ripoff. If Microsoft is willing to shell out that kind of cash then they could have made like 5 of their own first party games with that.


They could give their developers more time and all those things to increase quality but nooo


Titanfall 2 won't PROBABLY be exclusive
Zampella said he is angry at EA and he holds the rights of the Name and wants the next Titanfall Games to be on the PS4.
EA will probably say the same after they have seen how much the PS4 is selling and how it is the console to get in this Gen.
EA isn't an exclusive Game company especially not with games that have the potential to be the next CoD in terms of sales and everything else.
Otherwise EA would waste Money Potential - PS4 will sell a lot more than the XBox One and IF Titanfall really becomes the next CoD they would lose like 10 Million+ sold units.Even with less sold units in generall they would waste to much and if it doesn't turn out to be the next CoD Microsoft will stop money wasting probably too.
EA is winning probably right now cause they got money from Microsoft and won't lose much.Right now Titanfall is an IP with potential.Nothing more.
EA is losing probably a lot if the game turns out to be the next CoD and if they won't let the sequel come out for the PS4 even it his creater who holds the rights of the IP wants it.

Yea everything in shooters has already been done. I cant see how they can make anything really new..

FPS's have been done to death since Mw1 (one of my favorite games btw)
