Kotaku: Red Dead Redemption 2 Will Have Some Sort Of Timed PlayStation Exclusivity
- Thread starter mas8705
- Start date
I hope its not anything big,I prefer to play multiplatform games on my X now...If its kind of like the pre-order stuff,like a few extra cowboy hats or something lol,It's fine by me. ;)
Isn't it an 3rd party practice. MS and Sony can't buy what's not for sale .
Reminds me of having to wait for Cod mappacks last gen, it's annoying as fuck. I suspect it will be online updates but that would be kinda huge looking at the wonderful and frequent support they provided for GTAO.
edit: And the GTA4 SP expansions offcourse but that's not longer happening, Online is the focus. You see it already as they mention Story mode as something separate.

The online stuff doesn't matter to me, I'm playing mostly for the single player. I'm going to get whichever version runs the best, so probably the XB1X.
Probably less than the GTA IV timed exclusive expansions Microsoft paid for.
User warned for platform wars rhetoric ("Xbots")
This has to be the easiest call any publisher makes. There are 4x as many PS4s as Xbox Ones. Sony already has dominant market share, and is willing to pay millions to incentivize the port of the game that is already going to be the best selling by a huge margin? It would be foolish to say no. Absolute worse case scenario is the fraction of consumers that chose the xbox as their exclusive console platform boycott RDR2, and that ain't happening. Realistically, maybe a few thousand hardcore Xbots pass on RDR2 out of principal, no impact to total units sold, and Sony deposits a few extra millions in the THQ slush fund.
Called it.
This is getting predictable and old and I'm pushing to a point where I'm just going to gamefly these games instead of supporting them. Exclusive deals suck.

People are surprised when a company likely gives another company millions of dollars to co-market something and they get something in return.
You would rather see RDR2 be a locked console exclusive like Street Fighter V than have it on Xbox with some delayed content?
Exclusivity deals don't actually bother me that much, especially if it's for online content that I won't even touch. As long as the core game is the same between platforms, I'm good. An extra mission or weapon or whatever isn't all that much in the grand scheme of things, imo.
You called something that has been known since October 2016 in a post today? Well done, I guess.
"We" are not a hivemind. Some of us aren't on top of every detail on every game at every minute.
Oh come on guys, it's going to be a fucking hat or something. I'm 99.9% certain no one will give a shit when it's revealed what the actual in-game item is. It's literally going to be nothing.
Well excuse me. Didn't mean to come off that way, just saying it's been stated already.
It makes much more sense when a game is funded directly by the platform holder and results in exclusivity (ie. see something like Titanfall). When a game is already made, content and all, and then money exchanges hands simply to not release the content on 1 platform, that is a big difference imo.
It's like a little revenge game between Sony and Microsoft, cause this keeps happening on both sides.
I have a ps4 pro and a xbox one X, and decided to get a xbox one copy because of the X. the improved performance and graphics are worth it in my opinion.
If this is true, I hope Microsoft moneyhats three or four big releases to be on their own platform only.
I hate when this shit shit happens, especially if it's handled the way it is with Destiny. Anyone buying it on the Xbox One is still paying the same amount of money for less overall content.
they will need a really big pocket for big releases... I know MS have a lot of money but not Xbox division...
Was there ever a time Sony got a game where Ms also did but kept parts of it for years because that destiny deal is pretty ridiculous.
Microsoft has pulled its own "timed exclusivity" nonsense for Dragon Age: Inquisition as well as other big multi-platform games—also including Call of Duty—over the past decade.
I'm on PS4 but the article writer couldn't have put it better.
