This guy has got to be kidding me. There were far more exclusives than just two. When people say exclusives as well it means console exclusives.

Halo: ODST, Halo Reach, Alan Wake, Shadow Complex, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Mass Effect 2, Forza 3 and more. You're crazy!

 

Come on now if it's exclusive it should be on one gaming console or PC.  If the game can be played on 2 playable things then it's not exclusive.

I understand what you're saying, but the 360, PS3 and Wii aren't going up against a PC. A PC isn't a console....so the look and feel of it is very different. console exclusives for the 360 are exactly that...console exclusives. The only thing that matters to Microsoft and Sony is to keep the games away from each other.


Well I notice L4D don't have the "only on xbox 360" on top of the case and it's on the PC so that make it not exclusive.  So why do games like Mass Effect say only on xbox 360 but it's on the PC too.  I know the PC isn't a console but it's still a gaming machine.  You play the same levels and have the same weapons on both the 360 and PC version so they not exclusives.

How strange that not only you did forgot Crackdown 2 and Halo Reach like lots of people already said but also :

  • XBLA - Shadow Complex by Epic Exclusive
  • XBLA - Joy Ride by Big Park Games, exclusive, free, uses avatars

And i have to say that even if Shadow Complex is "just" an Xbox Live game, it looks really great !

I think Shadow Complex looks, and I'm gonna get a lot of stick from this, better than the Metroid that was announced at Nintendo's E3. Minus the bug that happened at the end of the SC demo, but thats what Quality Control is for. Of course, a bit early to tell for sure, but I like the game and think it has potential. As for Joy Ride, they really didn't give anyone anything to be excited about, not much about the game except its a free arcade racing game that uses avatars as your driver, so what? No spin on it like the Sony Racing game (its name i forgot, they didn't pick a good name this time then lol) with the whole Play Create Share aspect returning from LBP, now THAT was impressive.

EDIT: To answer the above's "question" Mass Effect was made for the PC well after the 360 release, like Bioshock was with the PS3 version.



Consoles Owned: XBOX 360, Wii, DS and PSP.

I edited it already.  I put those 2 games up.  I didn't want to do XLA games.  I wanted to do disc games.

 

Btw how can I change the title.  I can't do it in edited.

"Exclusive means it’s only on one console and not on PC am I right. So is these 3 games below exclusive to the 360?"

errrrm:
"Windows plataform"/PC = Microsoft
360 = Microsoft
PC + 360 = Microsoft
Only PC/360 = Microsoft
Only Microsoft = exclusive

"Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction (PC,DS,360)"
DS and PC aren't consoles, is a portable and a computer, so, Splinter will be an exclusive for 360 in the consoles.

I would like to change the title if anyone can tell me. I won't let me.

1) Isn't FF XIV announced for the PC as well? Why do you call that a PS3 exclusive and not count the 360/PC releases as 360 exclusives?

2) E3 isn't for exclusives only, it is to show what to expect from the each company in the near future.

@ C_Hollomon: Why did Microsoft release Xbox 360 exclusives made by MGS on PC? Is it because they used to publish for PC before making games? I dunno. Microsoft knew that they had to stop making the exclusives that they create on PC though. First of all, they don't make enough from PC because PC owners keep pirating games. Mass Effect and L4D will never sell well on PC because of that. The sales are dependent on the 360. They are console exclusives though. The PC's game play and 360's are very different. The 360's feels more fluid while the PC's feels mechanical but you feel safer while shooting.
