no, both Titanfall and TR would have been made with or without MS's involvment. you are telling me EA wouldnt want to publish a FPS made by the guys who made the CoD franchise? EA just wanted to eliminate a risk. TR reboot sold 7 million units, you are thinking that Square would have spent all that money to reboot the franchise, then after shipping 7 million units, they wouldnt make another? its all PR crap that was said. i dont know about SF5, but i would bet it would have been made with or without this exclusivity deal. |
Yep, to avoid backlash companies go "We wouldn't have been able to make the game without company x funding us". They could make the game without the funding, but funding makes things easier and safer.

Yeah because those who bought an XBO "only because it's cheap" (obviously not because they wanted an XB but did wait for a lower price) will totally regret their purchase now^^
Sometimes I wonder if you guys are serious.
When Sony will reduce the PS4 price sales will also jump even higher, that doesn't mean that they only buy a PS4 because it's cheap, it means that they wanted a PS4 but did wait for a lower price (it's still the PS4 they want)
If you think people only bought a XBO because it's cheap and not because they wanted an XBO, they would have bougt a Wii U instead.

yeah somehow EA could fund fuse and release it. but couldnt manage to put a little extra money in titanfall to release it and needed MS to come save the day. guess all those money from fifa and madden went into fixing BF4

i'll trade you tomb raider for street fighter. i hate fighting games.
| starcraft said: You're asking me to think outside the solar system. Come at this from another perspective. Over three million people (retail only) played the game on Xbox 360, plenty of them in the USA and UK, where the Xbox One is performing fantastically. Lets be conservative and say 2 million of them would have picked it up on Xbox One. Lets be even more conservative and say Capcom would only have seen $15 per copy on average. Thats $35 million in revenue - conservatively. For a port that might, might have cost a few million. People that have a problem with Tomb Raider will have a problem with this. People that had no problem with Tomb Raider wont have a problem with this. People who think this has nothing to do any form of direct financial incentive need to go back and look at the maths again But it certainly means Sony offered something serious up for the game. |
Not denying it's a weird move. the fact that he claimed he has no money to make it is odd. A profitable game like one that sold 3 million copies, should go straight back into making the next game, but i think Capcom is... well not sound of mind, sometimes. How Capcom can not fund Street Fighter V as the developer was claiming after 4s success is beyond me. Unless it's for one very good reason. Capcom's new business plan isn't "Let's make games and make money", it's "Let's get others to pay us to make games and make money." Less money speny by them, more profit.
But don't get me wrong, I have no interesting in Tomb Raider or Street Fighter, I just think not releasing a game like TR on PC is a little low, MS could at least allow that.
Hmm, pie.

Just because it's being announced now doesn't mean it will release before 2018... |
lol, I know that... It's just that they announced way too early.

Haha this, I dont remeber MS fans up in arms over Tomb Raider or Ninty fans over Bayo2. |
Bayo 2 is a terrible example though.
