Just did.
If only...
It's not like Microsoft gave Phil Spencer a blank check. As this gen goes on it's going to be more and more expensive for MS to buy exclusives, especially for major franchises.

There are plenty of devs out there that need money to make the games they want. As can be seen by layoffs and closures.

I know you're kidding, but this might actually be a good thing as it would give the sequel an opportunity to actually sell well.

Plenty of independent devs, yes.
But when we hear 'big 3rd-party exclusive', that implies successful franchise games that are already publisher-funded because they're safe investments, but made exclusive anyway.
MS can easily pay for the development of Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty on behalf of Ubi/Acti. But they won't accept MS's money, because by choosing to invest in development themselves, they get greater returns from a multiplatform install base.
That's my least favourite. I really dislike third party exclusives. :/
Well some people thought big EA games like Fifa or Battlefield would have been Xbone exclusives. And now some people think it's gonna be GTA or Fallout or something as big. I personally think it's not going to be anywhere near as big those titles would be. Something like Dragon's Dogma 2 could be possible, and Capcom seems to have good relationship with MS.

Kid, looking through your post history you're pro-MS and you spout bullshit about Sony (as evidenced here). Give it a rest please, or take yourself over to the official Xbox forum.

Well, both consoles have shipped one exclusive FPS so far, and I think the vast majority of people would choose Titanfall if given the choice. If you don't believe me just look at the rage that occurred when it was announced as never coming to PS4.
An independent dev would be considered 3rd party.
Obsidian is a dev that would most likely gladly accept funding for a game they would like to make.

Ryse 2. Annualized gaming is the way of the future... Unfortunately

If it hasn't been called already, I'm calling Enslaved 2.
Or am i wishing?? Loved that game

I think that part of it evidences that Gamespot doesn't really know anything so they're just throwing noncommittal rumours out there on the chance that they might turn out to be true.
Kinda like the PS4's?

You should realize the difference. Games like Dead Rising 3 and Titanfall very well might not have come out were it not for MS helping with funding and helping development. In DR3s case, MS spent incredible amounts of effort in development by sending their employees to the office in Canada to help with dev.
So please, stop pretending like all they are doing is throwing money at games to keep them off of other systems, when in reality they are often helping to find and develop games that are stuck and need assistance. Not everything is that simple, so don't pretend to know what you are talking about.

Yep. Last year MS was sure to announce FIFA, Call of Duty and Madden were all Xbox One exclusives.

So at this point, probably not enough money.

If MS wanted an exclusive for the Xbox One from them they wouldn't have cancelled the game they contracted them to make for the Xbox One like 2 years ago.
I don't think so. But we do have some extremely likely rumors that Doug Jones's company Cloudgine is working on Crackdown.
Brad Grenz said:
Or maybe they didn't want that game....
I guess all games are pretty much the same.
Kinda how they canned a bunch of Rare games but still had them make them other games...

Can we get CBOAT in here?

*User inserts joke when clearly we aren't talking about timed exclusives*
Look at the games I referenced, and look how the rumor and therefore topic is about an exclusive, not a timed exclusive.

I'm betting on this as well. They've partnered before and this is what I would call a potentially "big" exclusive.

A platinum game might be big for GAF. Outside of GAF, not so much. Me and all my friends don't care about a platinum game. When they say big I'm sure they mean a AAA blockbuster

That would be glorious.

Didn't the developer say it's not coming to consoles until after the PC version is finished? Seriously doubt it would be DayZ.
It's Cranky Kong in Vanquish 2.
Can we get CBOAT in here?
why? sounds like a good rumour for MS.

Where are the moneyhatted PS4 games?
But there are other options and other variables, not the least of which being that every multiplat FPS, both now and in the future, runs better on PS4.
He (and you by extension) made a really narrow argument to make a non-point.

He hinted about Halo 5 Guardians before it was revealed. Honestly, any insider info will do for me, good or bad.

I dont think itll be anything from capcom. DR3 made sense since DR1 was exclusive, never did well that well in japan, and DR2 did the best on 360 in the west even after being released on just about everything. At this point I see MS just keeping the IP but still leaving it with capcom like Gears back in the day. The rumored platinum joint sounds like the thing more likely to happen though its just a week we'll have to wait to find out.

I speculated they were previously but their big game is for a new publisher (their words) but they also said they were doing something linked to the "recent leaks" which happened around the time of the ntkrnl leak, so I wouldn't be surprised if considering their close relationship with MS if they were doing one of the Halo ports to XB1 (CEA, 3 or 4)
Yeah, a couple hours before it was public knowledge. Dude is probably out of the loop now.
