Support NeoGAF

[viveks86]

Yes, definitely. Why not?

I don't understand this line of thinking. It's up to the creators to make whatever they want on whatever platform they want. It's their creation after all. It's up to the consumer to buy it or not buy it. There is no use in discussing who should publish what on which platform.

 

[Percy]

Okay

lol Craveonline. Pwnt.

 

[Kerub]

Nice to hear that it's probably coming to PC! Sunset Overdrive would be great steam sale material.

 

[thewhitehawk]

Claiming some piece of software is exclusive nowadays is meaningless. In a few mere months publishers have made that word utterly devoid of any real meaning.

 

[orochi91]

This all but confirms it will makes its way to PC sometime next year.

MS seriously needs to lock these exclusives down! Everything seems timed.

Off the top of my head, it would be Ryse, DR:3, Titanfall and Tomb Raider.

Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive and possibly even the Halo MCC may be coming
to PC some time next year.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

It seems inoffensive to want this games on PC (everybody wins, right?), but to some the idea clearly isn't.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

I have a feeling that Ms is bringing these games to pc so they sell more. (obviously)

But years down the line they're gonna start leaving games exclusively on x1. By this time the console will be cheaper and pc gamers will be more likely to buy a console to get the newest game in a series they are invested in.

At least that would be a good idea.

Maximise sales by using pc and xbox together. Then when people care about these games pull the pc out of the equation

 

[NotLiquid]

Right now this game and D4 are the only real games I actually want to own an Xbox One for. I was thinking of getting one this holiday but I'm not so sure anymore given the non-answer.

Will probably just wait another year and see what's in store for the console moving onward.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Why should honest, hard working Xbox One fans go out and support an IP they believe to exclusive only to see their faith in the developer met with indifference and scorn as they abandon the Xbox One and the fans that made their IP a success for the PC crowd who didn't appreciate their IP enough to support it in its infancy?

It's a slap in the face of all honest, hard working Xbox One owners and I say enough is enough.

That wouldn't prevent them from playing a game they already own

 

[Sai-kun]

So there shouldn't be ANY exclusives on any platform? Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, Halo 5, Quantum Break, etc should all come to PC?


Hmmm

uhhh

i mean, yeah. i wouldn't complain about that. that'd be pretty rad.

good to see they didn't shut the idea down completely!

lmao you got a few bites, nice.

 

[corrosivefrost]

The whole reason Insomniac did a deal with Xbox in the first place was so that they could branch out the IP to new platforms.

This was never intended as a new exclusive franchise. Ever.

Well, if it's a huge success, MS can just throw a truckload of money at Insomniac in the future.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Huh? I can't say I have ever felt I have been treated like shit as a MS console owner... or as an owner of any companies console I have.

A lot of people saying nothing should be exclusive. So you also believe there should only be one console that runs all games? I mean... having exclusives is a major driver of competition. Those exclusives wouldn't get as much funding to be made without it. Seems like a very silly argument. Plus I love the variety of controllers, interfaces, OS, etc. especially since everyone has their own preference.

Jesus christ? Are you fucking joking?

Why would I be joking? He said that MS was screwing over xbox one early adopters, and I just said that

1. Microsoft has a history of this behaviour (PC ports)

And

2. The "hard working Xbox fan" should have already known that things not going quite how you planned is the risk of early adoption.

 

[EGM1966]

Have they ever released on PC? I figure they're just being polite to the question; I don't expect them to port to PC unless actively encouraged by MS themselves for some reason.

SSO will likely remain on XB1 only I reckon.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

If I was an Xbox One owner I'd be so upset right now. Seems like almost all the AAA Xbox One exclusives so far (Titanfall, Dead Rising 3, Ryse) have come to PC. I get that Microsoft is invested in the PC market, obviously, but that wouldn't instill confidence for Xbox One fans.

Keep this game an exclusive, whatever that means these days anymore.

Ya I should totally be upset that i enjoyed all of those games and that others get to enjoy them later down the line....what?

 

[MLCodest]

The more people that get to enjoy the game the merrier .

Ok. I see that you changed your original reply from saying that MS will always treat you like shit. Yes, I agree they have a history of porting to PC. Honestly it doesn't bother me because I don't have a gaming PC and would never want to wait over a year to play a new game I really want to check out. Games are often more exciting when playing it for the first time with a community of other people.

 

[TheOddOne]

The Dead Rising IP belongs to Capcom, they can do what they want with it.

Ryse went to the PC because Crytek would not budge on giving the IP rights over to MS. Which caused the greenlit sequel to be cancelled and the PC port being announced to get some cash (Oh, did I forget that Crytek was having money problems).

 

[Skyzard]

I wasn't expecting it soon. Seems like MS has to hold onto it strong.

But I want it of course.

 

[Casimir]

According to the activity on Steam's back end Halo is likely coming.

The Ryse example shows MS wants to prevent it from happening again. If SO is a success I think MS will try to lock it down for another game or two. If not, off to PC it goes.

 

[grandwizard]

PC Versions of games now make enough money that it does not make sense as a third party dev to keep your game only on consoles and miss out on an entire 'third platform'. The only reason an independent dev is going to rule out a PC version of their game is that they are being paid to for a certain amount of time to prop up the value of a console. If the game is not being developed by an internal studio or fully paid for by the hardware maker, it's only a matter of time.

 

[Daviii]

They work hard to sell lots of games. That is quite complicated being an Xbox One exclusive...

 

[viveks86]

Nope. They've only released games on consoles and mobile. During the development of fuse, they actually spoke about how they don't want to release on PC. It would be unprecedented if they do it now. They have an experimental PC project going on and details are sparse.

It's the only reason I'm skeptical of a PC release, regardless of what other devs have done. Not that I care one way or the other. More platforms can only be a good thing. It just seems unlikely

This would be their first, but prior to Fuse everything was Playstation only so anything is possible.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

I don't have an Xbox One. That does not make any of the multiplats I own on PS4 PS4-exclusive.

Sorry, I worded that terrible. I meant that if he doesn't have a PC then the Xbox version is the only way he can play it, so it's still worth owning an Xbox. But only because he never stated that he owned a gaming PC.

 

[Corpekata]

They have a small game coming to PC soon. They're even streaming the development of it. Called Slow Down Bull.

They don't have a history on PC simply because they've spent 80 percent of their career working on franchises owned by platform owners.

But this game is fully paid for by Microsoft.

Unless Insomniac got a mega good deal, this game is only coming to PC because Microsoft allows it to be.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Don't think it will be very successful on the PC anyway. Looks like a pick up and play, party game for when you have some friends over.

 

[abadguy]

Trolling?

If not, the solution is pretty simple: buy a PC or a PS4 because Microsoft is always gonna treat you like shit.

You people make every Xbox thread a real treat to read.

 

[Nethaniah]

Which, as we all know is completely impossible to do on PC.

i really hope this was sarcasm

How? It doesn't have local multiplayer.

Assuming you are not trolling, why purchase games on the basis that they are exclusive? That serves no meaningful purpose for someone looking to play games they enjoy (or at least think they will).

Further to that, bringing the game to other platforms is not going to harm anyone, or represent an abandonment of the fan base that exists on a prior platform. IF the decision is made to withhold future content or sequels etc from the original platform, sure you have something to whine about there, otherwise, there is no issue. More people play the game, more fans are generated, increased revenues, more success for the dev, they can then continue the product/franchise or create future title that is better thanks to their increased fan base and income.

Everyone wins except the minority that needs exclusives as some sort of e-penis list of what their console of choice is worth in society. What ever happened to all the multiplatform games everyone loves to buy or the community / services / features they prefer in decision of choosing a platform?

The fact that he used the words "hard working" and this is GAF, we know he is trolling.

Dead Rising 3 was also different from the other Microsoft published games. Dead Rising 3 was just Microsoft, while the others were Microsoft Studios.

 

[SykoTech]

Well it's not like he'd wait until now to say "Hell yeah we got a PC version in development, wait for that one." That said, it's probably not that likely since Insomniac hasn't made a game for PC yet. However, that's mainly because they've been working with Sony for so long, who takes ownership over their IPs. Could be a first time for everything.

And why are people getting so butthurt over this possibility? People ask for PC and Xbox ports for Guilty Gear Xrd all the time, but nobody minds or throws a tantrum over it. How is more people getting to play the game a bad thing? I'm not even a PC gamer, but I don't see what would be wrong with this. Unless you're a fanboy using exclusives as list war ammo, I don't see anything wrong with people wanting a game to come to their preferred platform eventually.

Unless it's unreasonable, of course. Like Bloodborne, Uncharted, Mario, Smash Bros, etc.

 

[TheOddOne]

Sunset IP belongs to Insomniac

I know.

The thing is that Capcom already is a publisher and the owner of the dev that made the game, they can do whatever they want with their IP.

Ryse got the PC port because of the rights issues, which caused the sequel to be canned. The then had free reign to do whatever they want with the IP because MS is not funding it anymore. If they were going to fund it, the first game and the sequel would have probably stayed exclusive.

Sunset Overdrive is Insomniac’s IP, if Microsoft stops funding them then they probably can bring it any platform they want. Now if MS wants to fund the sequel, the game will probably stay exclusive. Think of it more as the Gears deal, which was initially the same deal Ryse had but outside factors prevented the deal to continue.

 

[HighResTomato]

No plans= PC port confirmed.

This thread lol.

 

[Ramenman]

I don't really care at this point, I want it too much to wait several months for a PC version, I'd buy an Xbone for this game even if they announced it right now.

If it comes to PC later on then, it would be cool, I'd probably double dip to play it with my PC friends.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Dead Rising 3 was also different from the other Microsoft published games. Dead Rising 3 was just Microsoft, while the others were Microsoft Studios.

So its not coming to PC unless Insomniac goes broke like Crytek. Good.

 

[twobear]

I think the stock response is usually supposed to be that by bringing the game to multiple consoles they have to expend man-hours that they could be using to improve the game on making the one version as good as possible.

At least, that's what I recall the official response to stuff like FFXIII on 360 being.

 

[Chill Penguin]

Would be a terrible decision. The game looks awesome, and would make a great X1 exclusive franchise going forward.

For all intents and purposes it still would be. There is very little crossover in the two markets. PC people play on PC, console gamers play on console. It's only places like neogaf where you'll find people debating which version to get or using it as console/pc war ammo.

Some could be wondering why its ok to port beg in xbox threads even though it was stated to be "against the rules". Is the port begging adding anything to the thread? At all?

 

[Syrus]

Wow.....you people are drawing straws here.

Most of you weren't buying an X1 anyways with the I guess ill wait comments.

Look at any PC port, the communities are drastically smaller then the Xbox ones (titanfall). Its been much better to play games on consoles as community bigger and ita there first.

I don't know, this thread is ridiculous.

Yes ! Enough with this ! Let's launch #OperationInsomniac and tell everyone to buy Sunset Overdrive to support Xbox One Exclusives ! Let's show our loyalty !

(brb making a youtube vid #OperationInsomniac)

 

[harSon]

Insomniacs one multiplatform game never came to PC, what makes people think they'll start with this game? There's no precedence.

 

[grosvenor_92]

I'd like to see it come to PC but if it doesn't that's fine there's gonna be a ton of others for us to play

 

[cakely]

I had absolutely no expectations of a port. Sunset Overdrive is an Xbox One exclusive, right? It's a selling point for Xbox One.
