So it was obviously a 6 month exclusive deal before a PC release. I would say we should know this holiday whether or not it will ever happen. It's either a 1 year or forever.

probably not.

Theres a lot more competition these days, so I can understand why you would feel that way though. Street Fighter was on top and truthfully as a fighting game fan i can say Street Fighter 4 is basically the best of what the old Street Fighter games were and more. Marvel vs Capcom is no more as well. Marvel has stripped most publishers of their development rights for marvel products so MvC looks like its finished.

Yes, I know that pattern. I mentioned it before when I said several of Sony's new IPs were created by studios that weren't owned by Sony. They will be using 3rd parties for new IPs again.

It doesn't matter if Sony would have bought Superbot. Sony let a 3rd party handle Playstation Battle Royale, so its silly to mock MS for letting a 3rd party handle KI. Sony is also relying on 3rd parties for ports of PS2 games, upcoming exclusives, etc. That's all fine with me, but its clear relying on 3rd parties bothers you and you ignore how much Sony does it.

Sony only buys companies who creatively share their views and gains success. Look at Sucker Punch. Do you see much of a difference between them Naughty Dog and what Insomniac used to created whe they were exclusive to Sony? They aren't like Microsoft. Insomniac is first party now and they believe Infamous represents Sony. Sonys development is based on great conceptual ideas and similar development patterns to form what is known as "Sony quality". Microsofts games come from everywhere and anywhere because they are willing to pay anyone because internally they dont come up with much. Microsoft has even professed how much of a risk it is to develop when reporters questioned their lack of internal exclusives. Of course it is, especially when you're terrible at it.

KI wasn't even originally developed under Microsoft. They take what they can get. Fans never know where their games are coming from. Sony fans have built up a trust with Sony development for over twenty years. It says a lot. The only development that is stable in Microsoft is 343 and Turn 10. Seriously.

Sony is reliant on all parties, not just third parties so it doesn't annoy me when they do. Their first party more often than not is on point and they create great first party. When they do create games with third party is usual in tandem with one of their internal teams unlike Microsoft. Demon Souls anyone? Flower? The Order? Thats how Sony works. If they want something done right they know they need to involve themselves in the task like Nintendo. They both don't just throw money aimlessly at third party. Project Beast is another tandem project between Sony and Software.

Speaking of third party, MS and that three game deal with Silicon Knights was such a joke. They are doing it again Crytek and for Microsofts sake hopefully it works because they need as much third party as many exclusives as they can get.

I guess i am getting older and loosing interest in some games. Never been big on fighting games but i played the hell out of mortal kombat and killer instinct. My 2 favorite best fighting games of all time. I also enjoyed king of fighters back in the day. 

Mad about KI for what?

No previous Forza game was ever on PC so its a save bet that Horizon 2 will never be on the PC.  Also arcade type racers aren't very popular on PC anyway so porting it wouldn't make much sense or be profitable in the long run.

The game is really fun. I am saying there was no way MS would entrust that game to their first party. Says a lot about their confidence in their own first party. This is twice now that they've given development of KI to third party. It seems like when they bought Rare their IPs were really all that mattered in the end. Thats huge when you dont have a good track record of making them yourself.
