and the weird way they announced the Dead Rising 4 timed exclusivity.
""'Dead Rising 4' on Xbox One is developed by Capcom and will be published in partnership with Microsoft. Fans will be able to play 'Dead Rising 4' first on Xbox One and Windows 10 PC this December. It will remain a Windows 10 exclusive for the first 90 days and console exclusive on Xbox One for one year. We've had a close and longstanding relationship with Capcom including the launch of Dead Rising as an Xbox 360 exclusive and Dead Rising 3 as an Xbox One exclusive. We're thrilled to partner with Capcom once again to help bring their ambitious vision for Dead Rising 4 to life.
That would be one expensive check to weigh up the loss of revenue on other platforms.
I wonder how long the deal is, could they have secured it until the second part?
fucking liars, it will come out on PC and Xbox later down the line. Pretty sure it's a contractual thing between PlayStation and Square-Enix.
Because we knew from the moment Remake was announced that it was a timed exclusive. There was much more confusion surrounding RotTR because it was announced as a full-on exclusive with murky messaging immediately after the press conference, made more problematic by the fact that its predecessor was a multi-platform game that had only come out a year or so prior.
Lol, why would Sony market for other platforms? Some of you are so desperate for a RoTTR situation, that you make no sense. Sony said it's first on PlayStation, that's perfectly clear, they don't owe anything more then that.
Read what they actually said, not what the title says. All Square said is no plans to release on other platforms on March 3rd.fucking liars, it will come out on PC and Xbox later down the line. Pretty sure it's a contractual thing between PlayStation and Square-Enix.
That's exactly what I said a year ago. lol

lol
There is a difference between marketing for other platforms and being completely misleading over a timed exclusive, intentionally making it sound like it's a full exclusive. They aren't the same no matter how hard you try and make it seem.Previous FF titles weren't exclusives.
Why would Microsoft market Rise of the Tomb Raider for PS4 ?
There are countless of situations such as this indeed.
Certainly not.

Unless you are seriously trying to argue "first on PlayStation" is the same as "exclusive on Xbox, launching Holiday 2015" in which case lol again.
It is amazing how you can't tell the difference between the way ms worded their reveal and Sony did with ff7 or maybe purposely avoiding it. The end result of the game being timed exclusive is a different issue.Previous FF titles weren't exclusives.

You mean like Nioh ? Or Crash Bandicoot ?
And no, it's not the same indeed. It doesnt mean it's clear nor honest. As multiple people said "First on PlayStation 4" can mean a lot of things. If it was that clear can you tell me for how long ? Is it only for the first game ? Every games ? Is it for each games after release ? Or after they all released ?

A game they published in the West and a game they were getting shit over for being misleading about it's exclusivity? What about them?You mean like Nioh ? Or Crash Bandicoot ?

I hope this Remake will remains exclusive forever like MGS4, if not at least on consoles (Epic Store xclusivity for the lulz)
FFVII is an iconical game for the playstation nation and must stay always under our wings.
And yeah I'm still traumatized for the infamous BETRAYALTON of FFXIII, so many laughs, so many humillations....never again.

Again not Sony's job to market other platforms. It's completely clear that it's a PS4 timed exclusive.
The outrage for rotr is because it was far more cryptic like you said. Plain and simple. People are used to the idea of timed exclusivity at this point that it doesn't raise as many questions or outrage. All ms had to do was say the game is launching first on Xbox when they revealed it and they wouldn't have raised so many alarms and outrage and questions from media. They would have still gotten some outrage from gamers more than Sony because they were the least popular platform at the time and there is no two ways about that fact.I can. Yes, Exclusive, Holiday 2015 is far more cryptic than "First on PlayStation 4". It doesnt mean "First on PlayStation 4" is precise either. It doesn't change the end result either.
As I asked someone before:
Is the first game a timed exclusive ? Is it all games ?
When does the exclusivity runs ? From the release of each games ? Or when they all released ?
What systems ? When ?
It's the same end result and a message, while not as cryptic, still fairly misleading.
Yep.If we can agree there's a difference between "Exclusive on Xbox, Holiday 2015" and "First on PlayStation 4", can we agree there's a difference between "Exclusive to PS4 for a year" and "Coming to Xbox One in a year" ?
The latter is marketing other platforms indeed. The former isnt and is also more honest.
Saying how long your game is exclusive isnt marketing it on other platforms. It's just being honest about how long you have it as an exclusive
Yep.
First on PlayStation 4 could just mean that, initially, there is an agreement in place to get the game on PlayStation 4 first and foremost.
That doesn't mean that Square Enix has plans to port to the game to other platforms right away. But it doesn't rule out that they could make plans later.
So Square Enix could honestly have no plans at the moment to port it, since focusing on the PS4 version is the most important thing right now.

I'm sure Square Enix indeed has no current plans to release their biggest project on other platforms despite the high cost of said project.
It'll be on PS5 second.
I Know.
Don't forget about part 3! Ultimate weapons!!!
As a timed exclusive, they aren't allowed to talk about what platforms it will be on at a later time, thus they'll say that have no current plans for other platforms. And the video saying it was coming to Xbox One on launch day was definitely wrong.
