So when it was extended we got the news,now the extended date has passed by about a year and a half and we have nothing ?Have you considered that Square doesn't see it as a good enough return to port it on Xbox?

I don't think they'd care now, it's done most of the sales it would have.

Looks like the timed exclusivity ended and the PC version released. They can release it whenever but it's Square-Enix, they are like Atlus.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Have you considered why Square ported the much less popular Crisis Core to Xbox and not the much more popular FFVII Remake itself ?
Not sure how anyone can say without laughing that anything but moneyhats are involved there.
See above. If Square are porting the far less popular Crisis Core to Xbox, FFVIIR would be an automatic shoe-in unless moneyhat/contractually obligated.

Yes it is shitty that it is always online, not everyone here have to have double standards, look at those who were indifferent on the redfall always online news, strangely enough a lot of them weren't happy when it was for Gran turismo...Always online is just a shitty practice.

Yep a remaster I am sure that it must've costed them an arm and a leg.....I'm prettty sure that Ubisoft had to make a loan to port tetris or uno on all platforms.Have you considered why Square ported the much less popular Crisis Core to Xbox and not the much more popular FFVII Remake itself ?

FFVII R is an Unreal Engine 4 game, porting that from one x86 machine to the other would not cost 20 million dollars. That's a pretty lame excuse.

I can play it on PC. Just like I did with sf5. 16 looks great.

Supposedly, according to CMA reporting for the acquisition of Activision, Sony is preventing it from coming to Xbox permanently.

I have never made a game, but I can't imagine it would be that hard to port a game from Windows PC to Xbox.

Yeah and yet Square seems to think it wouldn't sell enough to justify it, maybe xbox is not really the target for japanese games.Unless you have proof that Sony extended the timed exclusivity ?

Anyone with half a brain knows these games would've been released on PS5 if it wasn't for the acquisition. Even if they haven't been officially announced.

Don't you guys get tired of these back and forths? None of these console manufacturers have your best interests at heart. They have no hearts. They are corporations who work to make as much money from you for as long as possible.
You should care about games, not consoles. Care about developers/studios and not heads of publishing.
More exclusive deals are ultimately damaging to the industry, and Nintendo shows what could happen when a single company has no incentive to provide new features (or even basic convenience, quality of life stuff) because you have no choice and can't play any of their games anywhere else.

No it's not. Did you even read it?
We been through this in the OT, you were in that discussion. It is lawyers talking out their ass. They even mention Bloodborne, an IP owned by Sony
That is how much weight you can put into that paragraph.

this is how you argue he has sources, sure they are MS sources arguing why their exclusivity would be justified.So even if I find the source MS debatable, I do agree to take it into account.S alright sony blocked FF, a franchise that has most of its history with playstation, is it still worse than buying a whole publisher ?

Nevermind found an article stating the percentages crisis core did on ps/switch / Xbox according to Nintendo life ....
Square Enix's latest release, Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - Reunion made its top ten debut this week, coming in at number eight. The RPG spin-off performed particularly well on PlayStation, making up a total of 82% of the sale split across the PS4 and PS5. Switch accounted for 12% while the Xbox made up the final 6%.

It's not. Small team can port and optimize relatively easy. It's worth it in every case, unless it's some extremely niche game that's only bought it japan.

Big mad about Bloodborne's permanent moneyhat!That is according to Microsoft not according to the CMA.

I am guilty of this too (more so lately), but it seems most of us can't get past the comments the more dedicated people to their plastic boxes make when it comes to the exclusivity of games to those plastic boxes—those people **clearly** have double standards, and they show that over and over without fault. Exclusives exist on both sides of the spectrum. Faulting one over the other or repeating this conversation over and over just takes away from the overall gaming discussion.
Exclusive can be a good and bad thing, though. They can help give a company or box its identity. What is weird about what is happening now, is long standing MP games being turned into exclusives which I don't think should have happened but it has so it is what it is.

They mentioned bloodborne, sure, but more importantly they mentioned FF16, Sh2 and VIIR, all of which *are* third party paid exclusives.
It doesn't have any more or less weight than people saying just because a trailer 2 years ago said '6 months exclusive' it means the exclusivity window couldn't have been extended, especially after it had been done once before as well.

Two posts below yours and 4 posts below yours...Bloodborne that famous moneyhat that has beeb co devellopped by sony first parties and which sony owns the IP, so maybe not that trustworthy with such a mistake in the 4 example they give, in one sentence there is already a 25% of error.

There is a lot of that too. I was about to edit my post to speak to that. That is probably the worst. People who are obvious aren't as annoying lol.

No jokes or trying to be sassy... but I really wanted to know if the usual shills really gain anything for the constant PR spin on MS topics ... I cant for the heart of me believe is all blind fanboyism... if you are going to put your integrity on the line for a plastic box at least must be to gain something in return...
Or lying your teeth out and doing constant mental gymnastics must be really fun for some people

25% error ? lol ok, well going by your logic it's 75% true, so it's 3 times more true than it is false.

Poor IGN. They think this is news.
Next at 11, water is in fact wet.
They already said they started work on this game long before the acquisition process was started or completed.

With ABK not Bethesda. $7 Billion vs $68 Billion are radically different price points.
You mean the Street Fighter 5 that Sony came in and saved by co-funding? The people these questions need to be directed at are the developers and not Sony. FFVIIR exclusivity period ended March 3, 2021 for the PlayStation and its even displayed on the box art.

Congrats you didn't understand my post , there is a 25% of confirmed error, probably like that Superman game sony is supposedly develloping...I will simplify it for you...In a divorce X will say Y did bad things and the opposite too, but none are to be trusted.In this case you are only listening to MS that have been known to lie ... a lot.25% error ? lol ok, well going by your logic it's 75% true, so it's 3 times more true than it is false.

They have console exclusives, which is pretty much what Sony has these days.
Only Nintendo has real exclusives.

I was just talking about "reports" related to CMA. I wasn't trying to insinuate that CMA said it.That is according to Microsoft not according to the CMA.
