As a platinum fan, I'm slightly upset that Microsoft are money hatting an exclusive, but If it raises the companies exposure, I can deal with it. Im not going to buy a X1 for it as it sounds more like its going to be a new IP. Ill pick it up when the kinectless X1 releases some time in a few years. Besides, given microsoft history with 3rd party contracts for niche titles, there is every chance it may still be ported to PS4

So, list of cult Japanese developers MS has moneyhatted for Xbone:

- SWERY
- Platinum
- Panzer Dragoon guy

I'd expect a Kenji Eno game next
if he hadn't passed away ;_;

MS's moneyhats early this generation basically crippled japanese AAA development for the entire generation. I hope we dont get a repeat on that level again where MS gets basically everyone the first 2 years but everything bombs and they are left scrambling the rest of the generation.


Platinum seems perfect for a xbox JP exclusive though. They make a living making games only a few thousand people will buy and I love them for it.


Itagaki's team is still looking for a publisher right? Maybe MS sign him

A Platinum game intended only for Japan could only be a sequel to Max Anarchy. right? Either that or a new IP entirely. There's no way a game with 'Metal Gear' on the box doesn't release worldwide, and even Vanquish sold pretty well (and Sega owns it anyway).

EDIT - Wait, Sega owns Max Anarchy, too, so I'm all out of ideas.

For those not versed in Buttockanese:

Greetings from the land of beer and bratwurst and weird porn! Got here a little while ago and I'm tired so I'm dropping this early. Then bed, then visit some churches and friends are in the park and work meetings stuff and then I'll see how the gamefloor is later on this week.

TRUTHFACT 1+

No live stream for real reasons. Xbone architecture is still not fully completed. The latest version of the SDK a couple of weeks ago dropped performance by 15-20% across the board. Now before you get mad at MS, this happens ALL THE TIME in console development and it will eventually be fixed, but no chance for an early October release or...

TRUTHFACT 2+

... certainly not for all 21 countries. "Localization" is absolute one hundred percent BS. Period. TRUTHFACT. An excuse nobody with common sense would consider. Look at the countries dropped. Cross reference against languages spoken, official and otherwise in said countries. I said there were yield issues two months ago and the chicks have come home to roost. Knock offs for launch titles, and SmartGlass, etc. instead of the 180's "one coherent vision". Paying the price now.

TRUTHFACT 3+

Late October launch for the PS4. Sony's SDK is ready, you can basically master it to a final release right now. Today.

TRUTHFACT +4

If you thought people were mad about Bayonetta's sequel going to Wii U, you'll be somewhat unhappy about what Microsoft is moneyhatting with Platinum. Other Japanese devs are in play too, but Kamiyatown is the only one I'm solid on. Game is NOT for North America or Europe, by the way, which makes no sense but whatever.

TRUTHFACT $5

BigPark nuked their game. It was a MOBA, but it's dead dead dead now. A whole studio focusing on TV services! All their best talent went to Black Tust or left MS entirely. Rare's still Kinect focused, no matter what else you've heard.

TRUTHFACT 6

New indie publishing policy's not set yet. Will come postlaunch.

TRUTHFACT #7: Early September Surprise

Apologies in advance. Everything I saw over the last 24 months was that there's no chance of a Kinect-less SKU. It was a solid concrete decision, firm as a beach volleyball buttocks, no matter what other changes have been going on around here.

And... weeeelllll, about that.

There's whispers of a Kinect-optional (as in, not in the box) SKU early next year. March or April. Enough smoke now that I didn't want to wait until September to say it. Launch number fallout will play its part.

A storm is coming.

Sega owns (Max) Anarchy (Reigns) too. (Choose one in parentheses.)

That's up to the japanese devs really. No one has a gun to their heads and are forcing them to take MS' money.

Well Sega is apparently working on 2 Sony exclusives according to Verendus so maybe Vanquish is a PS4 thing? That could be something that makes sense because people are all like "SHENMUEE!!! blah blah"

Exclusive to Japan as in Xbox versions will only release in Japan, or PS4 versions cannot be released in Japan?

(Software being Region free kind of makes both scenarios pointless though)

That would suck about a Vanquish or Metal Gear Rising sequel being exclusive to Xbox.

As for late October for PS4, I'll have to get all my ducks in a row in September, clearing the way for a high cost October.

Edit:

If the exclusive is only for Japan, wtf could it be then?

Probably a peak into dat corporate espionage.

But just to repeat... My god, if a Kinect-less SKU shows up that early next year, then that'd just confirm Kinect 2 for deadweight. The shitstorm would be amazing, only on-par with the dropped DRM, and unlike that, there'd be equal parts elation and frustration. Can you imagine how all those dead-set on Kinect inclusion would react?

Hopefully Japanese devs have more sense this time around, although 360 was their only HD option for a year so that played into that situation quite a bit.

Very interested in the Platinum news. Vanquish 2 exclusive to XbOne?
