I hadn't even thought of that. It just might be due to MS's parity clause. If the XBO version is drastically inferior to PS4 version (lower res and framerate) then it might have been rejected by their Approval process.

Are you talking about the same quality control that let Fighter within and Ryse son of Rome pass? :P

I have a feeling this is stemming from the fact that they cannot outshine Sony with another major title. When COD came out they hid the fact that the game wasnt 720p resolution from the box. MS talks abot their parity clause and yet they let this game go. I think this definitely has something to do with the console power difference and the portability of different games..

MS invested too much money into Ryse and it was too late with Sony launching the PS4 so they kinda had to let it go. They knew the game sucked and they still let it out. They blocked off all of the reviews until the last minute though so it wouldnt influence their preorders. LOL

They probably just figured most people who would have an X1 would still have their 360s and wouldn't be willing to drop more money for more or less the same game if they didn't wanna put time into updating the visuals.

It's also a game based on a mediocre'ly reviewed movie, I'm sure there won't be a whole lot of lost sleep over this by anyone.

Just the beginning of something bigger... You''ll see it happen more often as time progresses, unless the X1 starts turning things around. Looks like this gen even more JRPG's will be exclusive to the PS4!

lol, no. that would mean ms wouldnt accept all major 3rd parties this year. effectively committing suicide with the xb1

Or you'll see the amount of games drop on the X1.

They probably decided that they could not finish by the publication date so they simply cancelled it. These kind of games are very dependent on releasing on time. Delaying everything is not an option. Delaying one game would probably kill its sales.

Probably just bad management, they got slow down on the X1 for whatever reason, and for the people acting like this game is going to be shit we don't even know that yet not all movie tie in are complete garbage that game could easily be a 70 on metacritic.
