They just need to release this FTP on next gen and PC.
You can play hoard mode in SP but it isn't fun. No story or anything though.

Thanks, will skip it then.
It was always announced to be a timed exclusive.
Yeah, though it was obvious. Guess not, you can thank MS for that.
That said, I lost some interest in the game as soon as micro transaction were introduced.
Can someone here who has played the game tell us if micro transactions ruin the experience?
Found something to support that -
When asked if Garden Warfare was conceived for other platforms originally, Lindley added, It didnt really come about that way. Wed always envisaged ourselves as a very focused game, and I think the relationship with Microsoft just made it a convenient place to start. Additionally, were kind of a small team. Were not really staffed to just launch on five or six platforms at once, so we really needed to focus on a couple of platforms to start with, and then the relationship with Microsoft has made those choices easier for us.
We know split-screen is exclusive to Xbox One mainly because of power so we should expect it to come to PS4 if that's the case-
The Xbox One gives us the horsepower to do proper split-screen mode, whereas on Xbox 360 it wouldnt have been possible without severely compromising frame rate and quality and stuff like that, PopCap Producer Brian Lindley told Examiner.
Its one of those things where with next-generation hardware were like, yeah we can do split-screen and we can hold the frame rate and make it look really good. Thats the primary reason that it exists on Xbox One only.
But we all know of that unprecedented partnership between those two which also has a game from the same studio been on Xbox platforms first Peggle 2 ( Am sure they can do a simultaneous release with that), there is also things like FIFA 14 Ultimate Team exclusive content and in the beginning it was announced as launching "exclusively first on the Xbox platforms"
Also this
We havent announced any plans yet for any additional platforms outside of the PC, but the way I typically answer that question is we want to get this game in the hands of as many people as possible. Obviously, were exclusively first on the Xbox platforms, but I think in the coming months players will see some announcements that will please them depending on their platform of choice.
May you explain what you will do when you have a PS4 and a One no more with timed exclusives on PS4 coming to One at a later date? Do you switch back then?

One NZ retailer (Mighty Ape) has a release date of June 13th for it.

I still play this after all this time..it's really fun EA did a great job.
This is PR bullcrap to me. Didn't Respawn give a similar answer when asked about Xbox exclusivity?
It does not make the developer look like a sellout, and it doesn't make Microsoft look like they money hatted. Its a very well-thought out PR rhetoric.

Wow. I should really go and buy this.
So soon, love it.
I'd keep your Xbox one I you may say farewell to it. So then I could have two Xbox ones

It still managed to fool some people even in this thread, now think of the general public. That mind share is what they want to buy.
Always expect IPs that MS don't actually own to be released on other platforms, in one way or another.

Great news will buy as soon as it becomes available since the game looks like a lot of fun.

Fund is a safer word to use.
If Sly 5 happens, it will be a 2016 release. They'll want to get it out when the movie releases.
Also, Sanzaru has been quite busy lately, they've been working on three projects already

MS' third party exclusives are, most of the time, timed...
It wouldn't surprise me if we'll see Titanfall, Dead Raising or even Sunset Overdrive in PS4, with an addition in the title, like: "Definitive Edition" or "Super HQ version"

Playstation Europe retweeted this so announcement today?
Respawn did go to Sony. Sony basically told them "hey we can't talk about PS4 yet, how about we out titanfall on the Vita?"
When they went to Microsoft, they were very interested in the project, a lot of communication between MS and Respawn, etc.
Originally, it was meant to be a times exclusive. Focus on Xbox One and PC first, then shift focus to PS4 once the game was out. And Respawn does have a small staff. Look at how many people worked on BF4, then looked at the staff at Respawn.
I'm not sure how getting a port 6 months late is indicative of that.

Microsoft published the last two and funded dr3, insomniac have said multiple times sunset overdrive is an Xbox one exclusive and not timed.
That does sound good. Too bad it's obviously Tony Hawk + Crackdown.
Nope, it's totally R&C + Infamous.

Mass Effect. Nothing is for sure.
June would be a nice date for this.
Is the split-screen on the xbox one 4player or just 2?

Bioware got bought but ea. Insomniac want to remain independent otherwise they'd have been bought years ago (probably by Sony) and Capcom aren't about to get bought by ea or anyone else either, different situation and look how long it took for mass effect to come to ps3. Don't bet on it.
So, Microsoft didn't pay extra to keep PvZ and Titanfall away from the PlayStation? If Microsoft paid PopCap/Respawn/EA extra for Xbox console exclusivity..... my opinion is the same. PR rhetoric.
Its funny that both studios work with EA. Now that I think about it, didn't Insomniac give a similar answer when asked about Sunset Overdrive and Xbox exclusivity? Its like they're reading a script.

You'll forgive me if I choose to not believe any one who claims never.
What are the chances of someone buying Insomniac, though?
Fox_Mulder
Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
My bet is that Sunset Overdrive 2 will be on everything: xbox, playstation and pc.
Insomniac wants the IP for a reason.

Nothing us sure, true.
But if the chances are low, like in the 5-10% chances low,why hold your breath?
There's a better chance for Titanfall 1 to come to PS4 than there are the chances for Sunset Overdrive.

No one knows. That's kinda the point.
I'm not holding my breath. I saw evidence posted and that was my reply. None of that really matters. I don't believe that funding or publishing a game matters in the end.
Dead Rising 3, Titanfall. (1) and Sunset Overdrive (1) were games that mainly exist due to MSs investements. You guys keep only seeing one side of the medal. But often enough MS simply believes in a game and makes it possible by investing in its developement. Like Sony does, too. So, ... No.

I didn't say never. I said based on the different situations involved, don't bet on it.
Well you should have bought an xbone for first party exclusives like QB. Third party exclusives from people like EA are not going to be permanent. This will come to ps4. Similarly the next titanfall will come to ps4. Eventually Sunset Overdrive will come to ps4 as well along with its sequels.
Its actually a farily safe bet. There is a reason Insomniac wants ownership of the IP. It will come to PS4 but the question is when. It could come as a pack in at the end of the console life cycle for all you know. Mass Effect, Titanfall and now this are reasons why Sony never invest in IP they dont own because they know it will eventually come to PS4 in some form or the other. That is why I feel MS should own their IP if they want to differentiate themselves like QB etc.. Titanfall sequel coming to PS4 will be a huge blow.
You're just a no absolutes type of guy, huh?
Titanfall is a strong possibility. Sunset Overdrive, I really doubt.
Though since Insomniac actually owns the Sunset Overdrive IP, I wouldn't be surprised to see a sequel release everywhere (PS4/PC) if the first one is a big success.
Unless of course MS throws money at Insomniac to keep the franchise exclusive.

Read above. I never said it was coming, or that it was likely. I'm saying none of the posted evidence really matters. To that I got don't hold your breath and absolutes guy. No matter.
And really with Insomniac with the way they've been tracking, if SO isn't a giant hit, they really need to start looking for options, including being purchased.
Also depends on publishing deals

Actually in the GI where it was revealed they mentioned that their small size was one of the reasons that it was exclusive. They wanted to focus all of their attention on one platform so that there resources weren't spread too thin.

I could see them announcing a release date for September or so. I think that would make it a six month exclusive window. Assuming Microsoft did have exclusive rights to the game for a while. Would be awesome if they didn't and that June release date was true though.

Let's get back on topic, shall we?
After seeing that teaser shot,I wish there's skins of the plants and zombies to the themes of Playstation IPs.

Pretty cool teaser image to be fair. I'm definitely interested, but I did read about a fair few complaints about online and matchmaking issues, as well as miss-balanced sides. Any truth to that? Because if they can tweak these things, I'll probably get it tbh. Certainly looks fun.
