Not...one of them had anything like the development-funding relationship that Sunset Overdrive does....

It doesn't matter since Insomiac owns the game and they said before that they could bring i to other platforms if they wanted to.MS just published the game,so funding is irrelevant.They funded Ryse and it is on PC,which makes it a none exclusive.There are no such thing as console exclusive BTW since PC is a platform and I can play games on my PC as can most people.

I get the sense you're more hopeful than, examining what's been said lol. A theoretical possibility does not create a likelihood.

Either way, I guess we'll see.

I'm not hopeful as I don't care about the game,but I have heard that "Only on Xbox" line before and as was the case with the guy in your avatar,the game went to other platforms.

I'm pretty sure everyone remembers Titanfall, right? It was released for the Xbox One,Xbox 360, and...PC! If people still bought the Xbox One Titanfall bundle even thought it is also going to PC as well it wouldn't matter if Fable Legends goes to PC as well not to mention that there are people who prefer to game on Xbox instead of the PC.


I remember TitanFall failed to sell the Xbox One.Had the game been Xbox One only the people who wanted to play it from 360 and PC would have had to buy an X1 to play i.


It did sell plenty of Xbox One's there was a boost in sales on the week it was released and don't forget it had the Titanfall bundle as well.

For the hype and advertising it did very poor. It was no gears of war but if it wasn't on the 360 it could have done a lot better.

Titanfall is a MP only game which in itself reduces the number of players who would want the game.  The game sold pretty good for a new franchise that included no Singleplayer and limited scope.

It's not multiplayer only but the single player was so bad they should have just cut it and focused on getting multiplayer up to standard. Even that was half baked with the bots needed to make up the numbers.

Hype and advertisements doesn't determine if it's sucessfull or not and I am sure the game was a success when it released, now the game sold at least 2 million without digital sales.

It didn't meet EA and MS expectations.  They basically gave the game for free the month it released in that promotion because it came up short. It failed to even win that npd for the one.

Its not on PS4.....therefore I don't see the issue.

/thread.

I'm not on xbox but I'm on pc and ps4 so it's an issue for me. Keep thread open 

In the context of Xbox 1 vs PS4 library it isn't an issue.

But if you feel that PS4 in itself doesn't complete you as a gamer that you require a gaming PC, then thats your choice ;)

Last time I check Titanfall was the top selling software in March AND April NPD.

Cool story bro. Its 4 million + sold, not sure now much of that is digital sales. It was a massive success but it could have been better. We get it.
