Forums - Gaming - PREDICTION: Both Dead Rising 3 and Titanfall 1 will come to PS4

Depends on the conditions negotiated with Microsoft.

Most people picture exclusive as a strong partnership tied with money and contracts. That's not how it often happens and it simply depends on two things:

1. Who produces it? (Nintendo paid for Bayonetta 2 to be developed so it'll only be on Wii U, so did Sony for the Last of Us or Beyond Two Souls, but Microsoft didn't for Titanfall or Dead Rising)

2. What is the benefit of being exclusive: is the promotional/focus gain enough to guarantee success on one platform, and if success is met why stay on one platform OR for how long.

Put differently, unless a console maker paid for the development of the game, or the editor willingly chose or produced a project exclusively for a platform, games are likely to be only timed-exclusives or multi-platform.

Actually MS did pay for the development of Dead Rising 3 I'm pretty sure they also paid for the development for the two XBLA Dead Rising arcade titles (Case Zero and Case West).

I thought microsoft helped fund Deadrising 3? Could be wrong.

They did that is why the game is published by them and I'm pretty sure that they also funded the two XBLA Dead Rising games (Case Zero and Case West).

right, choose to read the nebulus quote not the bloody fucking specific one. 

"Obviously we need to give as many people as possible access to our game. However, this is an Xbox 360 exclusive and it's coming out on PC. That's the way it is on Bioshock" senior designer Joe McDonagh


This is specifically the quote that contradicts everything!!

I think of the two, DR3 is the more likely candidate, though I don't think either will come to the PS4.

It is worth noting that the word "exclusive" isn't always iron clad unless it's a first party internally developed game or it's a game whose IP belongs to the console manufacturer. A lot of timed exclusive agreements mandate both parties to treat the game as a full exclusive when speaking about it in public until the agreed timeframe has past, primarily for marketing and PR purposes. That is why we do see games that initially were marketed as exclusives, accompanied with press releases that deny they would ever end up on other systems, but ultimately do appear on other platforms after a set time frame has past.

Unless there's an escape clause in titanfall then it is unlikely (was announced as permenant exclusive)
dead rising 3 was partially funded and published on consoles by microsoft, so unlikely it will come to ps4.

I disagree. MS probably had some clause that allowed Capcom to put the game on PC. As for EA, why even both unless it's out this year? DR4 and TiF2 will definitely land on PS4 though, in my opinion.

Well the X1 will still get some future exclusive Dead Rising content in the future even if the next title goes multiplatform just like they did on the 360 with Case Zero and Case West.

Imagine titanfall on ps4 outselling the xbone version.

 

Doubtful. From what I had to read the game is uninspired, lacks content, online-only, no real campaign, bad graphics and all-in-all just a COD-clone close to nobody has interest in.


True there. I don't think it would sell nearly as much as the XOne version. Kind of like how MGS games do when they come to Xbox.

I doubt Titanfall will. Titanfall 2 will come to PS4, though.

For those who keep talking about MS publishing DR3, just remember that they don't own the IP itself and Tecmo already proved that it means jack shit if MS publishes your title or not..


This. Microsoft looked like asses when they basically paid for the timed exclusivity of Ninja Gaiden 2 and that money ended up being used to pay for the development of the Superior version of Ninja Gaiden for Sony. LOL


"Superior" meaning Ninja Gaiden casualized, though. xD

Um...no. They just took out the blood. Sigma got extra, levels, weapons, characters a modes. Its the same game. I've played both.
