"Sony has set a precedent with worrying connotations. What if Microsoft now see the hype and enthusiasm building around a game like Prototype and decide, hell, let’s throw some money at Activision and turn it into an Xbox 360 exclusive and use it as a weapon to derail the likeminded PS3 exclusive Infamous?"

i can't believe people are making a big deal about a ghostbusters game...like all movie games...it's going to suck...

The article acknowledges that, but they are announced well in advance. The Ghostbusters announcement came out of the blue, just one month before the game's release. It will piss off gamers and retailers.

GoldenEye wants a word with you.

@OP
you know if you don't comment about the story then people are going to assume that you endorse the pathetic drivel that this story is.

The company making the game is going under. Sony agreed to Publish the game, taking all the costs for the game so that they could indeed release the game on schedule. Why the fuck should they publish the game for everyone else as well.

So frustrated at the media right now.

It's because this is Sony.

Has this ever happened before?

Signing a contract at the last minute to give one console exclusivity after screens and videos of other versions have already been shown and pre-orders taken?

I hope PAL stores refuse to stock it until the other versions arrive.

At least they have decency to make it (or at least announce it beforehand) that it's a timed exclusive, unlike with some MS timed exclusives that tricks people to buy an entire console for what they thought was an exclusive game.

They only suck when they are rushed to coincide with the movie release.
