I liked that video.
Reminds me of Platinum Games and Bayonetta 2, dat betrayalton
or when FFXIII was multiplat, gamers are such drama queens.
If Bungie didn't screw up Halo lore with Reach, I may have harsher feelings about them now lol. But I am all ready glad they moved on and accepted PS4 will get the lions share of the games sales.
| Rafie said: I completely agree with him. When I heard about Sunset Overdrive not coming to PlayStation, I was bummed...but certainly not angry or felt betrayed. That guy in the vid summed it up my feelings on it. Funny how Xbox fans feel that way about Bungie giving PlayStation the DLC first from a developer that primarily developed on Xbox. Still Insomniac primarily developed on PlayStation and this game (SO) is going to XBox EXCLUSIVELY! Not coming to PS at all. At least Xbox is getting Destiny. LOL I do have to say that it was annoying to hear PlayStation fans talk bad about Insomniac for months on end with the whole FUSE and Sunset Overdrive business. |
sorry but i have to defend my honor here.
...the bad talking started years ago well before SO was even rumored. R&C was loved but resistant didn't gather much support. most insomniac fans like myself hated R&C All4One. R&C full frontal assult might have been better (at least it was in the right perspective) but the tower defense format was still a big step down from a real R&C game and very disappointing.
i never played f.u.s.e but the reviews were terrible and i was inclined to hate it the moment i saw everything i love about insomiac ripped out of the game during this transition...
Original Overstrike art: cartoony with a focus on light hearted fun and humor

Final F.U.S.E art: dark and gritty and generic at that.

were were happy to have into the nexus announced but even then getting only half a game didn't do a much to smooth over a lot of the frustration fans of insomnic have been feeling for the previous 4 years.
..and then SO is announced as xbox exclusive. eh, it hurt but in total honestly SO doesn't look like anything special either. i don't think it will be terrible by any means but it won't be anything to brag about either. at least it's a return to their style but lots of the animations look very rough and the gameplay just doesn't look all that good.
the point is,.. it wasn't just SO that brought on a lot of bashing. insomniac has been disppointing their fans for a very long time now.
I have literally never seen one post by a fanboy complaining about Bungie betraying them. I have seen hundreds of posts and dozens of articles defending Bungie against the people who feel slighted by them. Maybe because this is my main gaming forum and there is like 2 XBox fans here.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

On a social aspect its interesting how the perception is concerning the Destiny DLC. I believe why many Xbox gamers are upset is not that the DLC is exclusive to Sony platform is that Bungie did not try to strike a deal to develop exclusive content for the Xbox edition. I highly doubt that MS would not have green lit a deal like that so either Bungie did not care to take that up with MS or the contract they signed with Sony was to exclude MS platform.
The fact that the content is locked away for a year also probably ruffling a few Xbox gamers as a year is a long time for content. The last part is that PS gamers are getting the content for free i believe which makes it appear to the Xbox gamer that they content is already there but they are being excluded from it. Having to pay for the content a year later probably not going to make your fans feel better about such decisions.
As a developer, Bungie needs to get that cash money for such a project but they do have to try to maintain some semblance of equality. It does nothing for Bungie for the PC and Xbox fanbase to feel like the stepchild for their game and locking content away for a year without offering something for the other fanbase leaves a bad taste in those fans mouth.
Was it every mentioned that thiss content was paid for by Sony. From my understanding it was never communicated which could cause the confusion. Case in point would be the Grand Theft Auto DLC MS paid Rockstar to make. People at least knew that those DLC packs were paid for unlike the Bungie DLC.

I understand what you're saying. Still, you have to admit that a lot of Sony fans felt betrayed by Insomniac going multiplatform then going on to make an exclusive game for the competition. Oh and you didn't like All-4-One?! Wow I don't hear that often. I thoroughly enjoyed that one. If I had to choose which Ratchet & Clank I liked least, it would be Quest For Booty.
I see that you're a true Insomniac fan in and out. FUSE was definitely terrible. I was hoping for a great game in that right. Anway, SO looks really fun. No it may not be on Destiny's level of awesomeness, but it still looks like a ton of fun. Whenever I get an Xbox One, I will surely be getting that game. I hope Insomniac comes back to develop a game for the PS4 as well.

We learn last year that money-hatting exclusive content/game is evil.
It should work both ways.
