Mainly because of Japan, though.
They have no need to make a console version at all, and if they were only making one (and not being paid to by either side) they would choose the market leading, Open GL supporting console.
Half-Life 2 could barely run on an Xbox. It wasn't technically feasible to do a PS2 port. The tech situation is completely different now, whether you can bring yourself to admit it or not.
The previous Left 4 Dead games being on the 360 is irrelevant. You keep bringing it up like is means something, but it doesn't. It's 2014, not 2008, the PS4 is not the PS3 and the Xbone is definitely not the 360.

MS owns Ryse.
And ZoE is probably not getting a sequel anytime soon. That franchise never did particularly well unfortunately. Loved it though.

Right. A middle or lower tier exclusive, sure. But a RE or Fallout, like some are guessing? Come on...
And The Orange Box barely ran on PS3, but if it's money issue like you keep constantly bringing up, then they could have ported that like they did it. But they didn't because Valve recoups that shit through PC sales, unlike most developers.
Not sure we know MS owns Ryse outright do we.
OT : I would think new IP since the third party would share costs and risk with MS

I don't think it would make much of a difference to be honest, it's not as if MH has pushed WiiU sales in Japan at all.
Valve had no involvement in the PS3 Orange Box. Despite their huge success, Valve were (and still are, just to a lesser extent) still a very very small company, they didn't want to dedicate the significant man hours to getting Source running on PS3, then when they hired some former Sony staff, they wanted to do Portal 2 on there.
Source 2 would actually be easier to get running on PS4, and PS4's notably more popular. There's really no logical reason to think the situation has anything in common with the last generation.
Personally, I doubt either of them get L4D or HL3.

Speaking of the latter, is there any word on if a new Red Dead is in production or anything?
You think they will both be PC exclusives? I could see that.

Honestly, I think making a popular Japanese IP exclusive to the Xbox One would be a disaster for the home console market in Japan. The Wii U and PS4 are already struggling, and making a game like RE7 only on Xbox would attract asignificant number of potential console owners away from those platforms. Smaller, traditionally single platform Japanese developers that have been eying the console market with uncertainty would probably only be further incentivized to work on other platforms.
We need at least one reasonably strong console in Japan, not three almost dead consoles.
;_;
Yeah, they're gonna be set for the steamboxes.
I do, yeah.
You never know with Valve, they could be making a big push for Source 2 as a mainstream choice this generation, in which case, they will certainly put a game on the consoles, but if they think pushing Steam, and possibly SteamMachines is more important, they'll keep them Steam only I think.

A Bioware exclusive RPG? Doubtful but EA has increasingly cozied up with Microsoft. KotOR would be ridiculous but I doubt it.
Spencer really seems to be aggressive as leader of Xbox...dare I say almost J Allard like. I would not be surprised if this exclusive ends up being pretty big.

This is my guess. I just can't see how it would make a lick of sense for any company to release a major established title as an exclusive, period, much less on the console that is getting crushed by its competitor.

Well, any deal could've been inked before the Xbox started getting "crushed".

While true, if the exclusive was a major established title, I would assume we'd have heard about it by now if it was inked that long ago. I guess we'll find out though, if true.

I'm not sure why some are getting hyped over one possible 3rd party exclusive.
Last E3 Microsoft announced several 3rd party exclusives:
Ryse
Killer Instinct
Sunset Overdrive
Quantum Break
D4
Crimson Dragon
Dead Rising 3
Titanfall
Microsoft knows they have to "bring it" this E3, so I suspect they will announce just as many or more 3rd party exclusives this time around. Should be a good conference.

Most of those are first party.

Nope MS straight up owns the IP.

That's disingenuous at best and an downright lie at worst dude.
I don't think MS owns Ryse.

Something new at E3? Holy shit, this is big news. I heard a rumor recently too, that Nintendo's gonna be showing off some Nintendo games at E3!
Seriously, it would be news if MS wasn't bringing any third-party exclusives to E3. We've known about that project by Platinum for months now.

after reading a bunch of the fanboy fantasy picks on the last few pages, the ones that make the most sense are Homefront 2 and Kotor III.
Homefront 2, because the exclusivity payment would help pay back the IP cost for Crytek anf make developement quick and easy focusing on console first and maybe PC later. Just look at Ryse, there is a good relationship there.
KOTOR III because it has already appeared as a console exclusive to XBox in the past
and Spencer did say they were looking into reviving old IP or there were rumors of it at least..

What if it could be Jedi Knight IV?
Could tie into the pseudo-reboot that Disney is putting the Star Wars franchise into. Be nice to see that lightsaber action with all the new technological advancements made since the last game came out.
I mean as long as we're dreaming here.

According to Wikipedia, they do.
Wikipedia is wrong.

This isn't gut feeling of what is or isn't "correct", I've already stated that what you're saying also is valid, it's simply observation of how a term is colloquially used. If you asked people whether Gears of War was a first party game, what do you expect the common response to be and do you think that response would be on the basis of IP ownership or some other delineation?
I'm not exactly sure where or when exactly it has been shown as correct as determined by publishers or developers. Particularly, when the head of one first party is using the terms in a different fashion.
Would this thread be remotely as long if the implication that people read from it was "Microsoft is publishing a game for which they don't hold the trademark and copyright?"
I don't have an issue with it, but then again I have both xb1 and ps4. The whole point of an exclusive is to draw in new buyers though. This is a business after all.
Did the patches fix it? I remember there were serious framerate issues and complaints about the port.

Jedi Knight is activision, and they don't seem to be into Star Wars games anymore, don't even know if they have the license to make them. EA on the other hand is Star Wars central at the moment. You have both Bioware and Dice involved in a future star wars title.

Wikipedia articles have sources at the bottom. When attempting to prove a contentious claim, don't reference Wikipedia. Reference Wikipedia's source.

Lol at Kotor 3. Disney/EA love missing out on money by going to the console that's already 3 million consoles behind and by the time it launches probably 10 million or more.
Wikipedia wrong?! Well I never...
But seriously, I actually haven't seen anything from either Microsoft or Crytek that says who actually owns that IP.
It was more of a joke than anything.

I hope by exclusive they mean console exclusive only. Would be nice if said third-party game is on the PC as well ala Titanfall.

I could see this happening. Both actually.
I don't think you know what 3rd party means.

Timed exclusive. They'll get that PS4 money eventually. 6 months to a year later.

Pretty much one or more of the following :
Epic new IP
Cyberpunk 2077
Homefront2
Kotor III

To be fair, the publishers of the JK series was both Activision and Lucasarts. So I would assume that what they (Activision) want in regards to the series no longer matters. And EA is kind of just another way of saying Activision for some people.
