Well I mean, even if it IS true (which I would guess it is at the end of the day, although I'm sure that cloud access will make it easier for them -- I think they said as much in the Bombcast they appeared in) who gives a shit?

It's almost as if this is a business and these two companies are competing!

Can we find ANY evidence to this being true? Curious.

They were paid 50 Million dollars for it.

I doubt Respawn or EA are going to publicly disclose what deal they have with Microsoft, but third party exclusives happen because publishers are paid extra to make it worth their while. Without compensation, it would make better business sense to release the game on many platforms as possible to make more sales.

You think that dickhead is going to buy that?

He legitimately believes it's cause of cloud computing.

Which they have talked about doing. So really we're just talking about more rumors that have no actual evidence behind them.

I just posted a quote from the respawn studio exec......just a messenger.

$50M wouldn't even cover 1 Million sales, which it would easily cover on the PS4. So wouldn't surprise me if it was well beyond that.


But I'm sure Respawn wasn't bought out and gave up those sales solely for the power of the cloud!

[SethMode]

So, can someone just answer me why this is a big deal? If the quote is true it isn't a big deal, if the quote is just MS saying "throw us a PR bone" it isn't a big deal. Is there something that I'm missing?

Yes it would.

p.s. here's a quote from a Respawn developer who works on Titanfall

e. “[A PS4 version] is definitely not out of the question,” he said. “We love all of our fans, whatever console they support. So, yeah, we want to make everybody happy, but this is where we’re at right now.”

That quote is just a forshadowing of PS4 Always Online in 2014. :banana:

If the quote IS true it is a big deal. All we've heard from Sony guys is that Sony went out and asked exactly what the developers wanted so they could make the best games for the system to dominate XB1's games. But here we are, before the consoles have even released, and Sony lost the biggest exclusive on the market because they don't have what the developer wants. It's a big slap in the face to Sony.

I guess interviews with Eurogamer are not real.

You won't believe anything unless you see it with your own dense eyes eh? You're as dumb as dicks.
