Well I think we can all agree it was a good choice. Can you guys imagine how bleak things would feel if the XBONE didn't have Titanfall coming up?


i imagine they would have delayed Dead Rising 3 until march. (they wouldnt have even announced it as a launch tittle). god knows it could have used those extra few months of polish too.


Nah. Framerrate issues are part of Dead Rising charisma. All games on the franchise have had them. It wouldn't be fair that the next-gen title didn't :P

I think MS paid around 200 mill for Titanfall but I believe EA gave them content for Battlefield, FIFA and timed exclusive Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare as part of the package.

I doubt EA would make that deal today though. Now where the PS4 is to become the market leader and XB1 doesn't have all the DRM policies any longer.

Don't know, probably less than you think.

Getting a 1st party push and marketing from MS is a huge incentive. They are basically relying on MS to make the series a success.

It would have been huge without Microsoft. Though it is getting a lot of hype over being THE exclusive title to own for the XBO next year. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

makes sense. if its a feature in previous gen it would just be lazy of them to remove it in the next gen. agreed

I would guess around $50,000,000.

They also could have thrown in free/discounted server use.

Since there is no offline campaign I say 50mil.

GTA V was $265 million..people really need to re work their estimates. $100 million is possible though.


They're not paying for the dev costs. Just exclusive rights.

Edit: Lol @ all the 210 mil+ votes....


You just supported my argument

I would say $100 million would be a good guess. I don't think the game would cost that much to develop, so essentially MS could be covering the entire development cost of the game, leaving any sales on the Xbox platforms to generate revenue for EA. This would be a good deal for EA as MS will also be providing all the post launch server support for the multiplayer using their cloud service.

Microsoft supposedly paid $50 for exclusivity for GTA 4 DLC.

http://www.ps3news.com/console-news/gta-iv-exclusive-xbox-360-dlc-did-microsoft-blow-50-million/

I would assume they paid more for a full game. I would guess $100 million.

Despite the PS4 being a runaway success, I am sure EA is laughing all the way to the bank, as Microsoft probably paid close to $200 to EA for all of their exclusivity deals (Plants vs Zombies, FIFA, etc).

I also think Vince is pissed, since he probably makes a royalty based on the number of copies sold. From his tweets, he seemed to be surprised that EA made it a Microsoft exclusive. This means less copies sold, and less money for him. EA better share or I can see Respawn leaving.
