Well that's interesting

(08-01-2014, 09:44 AM)

Sweet, I'm glad the exclusivity isn't permanent.

PaulExcellent · (08-01-2014, 09:44 AM)

Well I'll be buying a PS4 on release date, then.

Don't post the scan!

Jb · (08-01-2014, 09:44 AM)

Weird, I hope it's just because they don't have the ressources for a simultaneous PC release.

JehutyRunner · (08-01-2014, 09:44 AM)

Pretty sure Sean Murray of Hello Games previously said it was a timed PS4 exclusive and that they'd look at a PC release down the line after the PS4 version launched, so it isn't exactly new news.

I though it was already known before? And no, you can't post magazine scans here

I assume it means timed console exclusive. I wouldn't be surprised if the PC version hit first. Have we had any confirmation on that?

Sarobi · (08-01-2014, 09:46 AM)

Well this is interesting.
Hopefully it's only console timed exclusive, as I was looking forward to picking this up on PC.. waiting would suck

jem0208 · (08-01-2014, 09:46 AM)

Hope this exclusivity isn't long and that its not just PC and ps4...

mocoworm · (08-01-2014, 09:47 AM)

UPDATED OP WITH THE QUOTE

HORRORSHØW · (08-01-2014, 09:47 AM)

so, pc and ps4 only? it's a little vague on that front.

Kikolool · (08-01-2014, 09:47 AM)

Good for Sony but generally I am not a fan of exclusiveness for games. Even tough I own a PS4.

Flandy · 09:50 AM

Wonder if it'll run at 60fps like some of that footage gamespot had in their coverage a month ago

ThoseDeafMutes · (08-01-2014, 09:47 AM)

Probably grab it on steam then.

Starting to worry that I might play even less console games than I did last gen.

neither · (08-01-2014, 09:48 AM)

glad to hear it's eventually coming to other platforms.

Why? It's the start of the generation, i'm sure there'll be plenty on Console only games later throughout the years.

They've said that there's a good chance that the PC version will hit after the PS4 version because they might not have the resources for both. The PS4 seems to be their priority.

mocoworm · (08-01-2014, 09:51 AM)

This game does look incredible though, right?

The choice is on your hand to play this game first in PS4, but you are choosing the steam for graphics/price as main priority over playing first experience in Console before PC. Seems like you are going wrong path for me over graphics/price instead of playing the game you like when its available as the developer said they are doing only PS4 version first for stable controls and frame rate.

Gipsy Danger · (08-01-2014, 09:53 AM)

That kind of sucks but whatever. I'd rather have it on PC so I'll wait.

Don't really understand how console-y would ever mean solid framerate though.

BPoole · (08-01-2014, 09:53 AM)

I didn't know it was uncertain that a PC version was being made

I can't see Sony being interested in timed exclusivity if the only other platform being considered was PC - therefore I assume that it will release on other consoles later.

n0tail · (08-01-2014, 09:54 AM)

Was going to get it on PC, but this seals the deal as I am very impatient.

Yep, I wish Destiny was more like this

Dreamgazer · (08-01-2014, 09:56 AM)

Thought that was always the case.

GarciaHotspur · (08-01-2014, 09:56 AM)

I will double dip :)

Betty · (08-01-2014, 09:56 AM)

So glad I don't have to wait to play this, I hope others don't have to wait too long either.

fras · (08-01-2014, 09:57 AM)

Well that's fucking dumb.

sublimit · (08-01-2014, 09:57 AM)

Timed exclusivity is a waste of money IMO. I'm disappointed Sony is following that route lately.

KnightHero117 · (08-01-2014, 09:57 AM)

Hopefully it does well enough to warrant an xbox one port, game looks amazing and I'd hate to miss out.

Mar Nosso · (08-01-2014, 09:57 AM)

Boom? Boom.

Most likely is the case.

I wonder how long its exclusivity is for...

Mihael Mello Keehl · (08-01-2014, 09:58 AM)

Good I guess

Yep, that's what he's said all along. PS4 first, since they don't have the resources to work on several versions at once. Then perhaps (probably) PC. The game has never been presented as a proper PS4 exclusive. Not sure what the news is here.

wazoo · (08-01-2014, 09:59 AM)

timed exclusivity to get exposure and marketing push plus fanboy support.

nothing of these would be possible on pc.

stable controls and framerate: let me laugh, the pc version will have all of these and better

Because you're just being silly if it's the latter

I'm happy other people are getting to play it, honestly. Exclusivity is a business tactic, I get it, but I feel the more people that get to experience awesome games, the better.

Definitely. Smart move by Sony to get this first.

Ubersnug · (08-01-2014, 10:03 AM)

I thought we already knew this? During the sony conference, The game was introduced as having it's console 'Debut' in the PS4...

ekim · (08-01-2014, 10:03 AM)

So does that mean, that it only comes to PS4 and PC later or do we have a chance for a X1 release?

What? How? I'm a bit gutted that I have to wait to play it on my platform of choice. How am I being silly?

kinoki · (08-01-2014, 10:07 AM)

Basicly the same deal as with Joe Danger?

He only confirmed the first part.

Hoo-doo · (08-01-2014, 10:08 AM)

Day one. Will preorder and preload.

What it means is that currently they're more focused on getting out the PS4 version and then after that the PC version. About the xbone, I dunno they haven't mentioned it at all.

I'm complaining because timed exclusivity is good for nobody. If you enjoy being the only one able to play a game just because you are on a certain system, you're an asshole. Timed exclusivity should not be a thing.

I think you misread my post. By the latter I meant complaining about it coming to platforms other than the ps4. As in complaining that the exclusivity would end and was only timed.

Sorry, it was poorly worded.

That's what I was trying to say. I thought you might have been complaining about the fact that it was coming to other platforms.

I completely agree that timed exclusivity is stupid.

I've edited the original post to make more sense now :)
