Access to Agent beta.
Its mostly been dlc crap.. how is that being proactive? Freakin walmart, Gamestop and whatever other store has been getting special dlc to.. lol.
Basically we are entering a world where dev costs are too high for exclusive titles unless a first party is actually fronting the cost of development (at least partially).
So the new 3rd party exclusive is paid bonus or times content.
I mean, I guess it was nice having a BF4 pack a few months early.. but most of this content falls firmly in the who cares category.

This PS4 version keeps getting better and better. I am screaming on the inside with utter joy at this thought. I dislike the idea of console exclusive content...but gat dayum in this case when it swings in my favor I can't help but love it!!

The guy doesn't say anything about exclusive content. It's all out of the Kotaku journo's mouth. If it's anything it will be some useless tat for online.
The LoU had a nice design that would have worked very well with this.
Especially if you like back door action.

Exclusive content is such a dick move, imo.
Edit: Unless it's a unique collaboration that would otherwise be impossible, like TLOU/SOTC content in Diablo.

They said during the reveal how you could transfer your PS3 or 360 save of GTAV over to the PS4 version.
Yeah, that hour of "EXTRA GAMEPLAY" in Watch_Dogs was scintillating.
I do like the platform-specific content in Diablo though. That one doesnt feel like Sony is paying to keep something away from MS users.
Pretty much. Just so much #neaux1curr with all of this 'ten seconds of bonus content' stuff.
Although it wouldn't surprise me if it were the Far Cry 4 'your friends can play with you even if they don't own it' thing.

I love it when Sony strikes exclusive deals they are being proactive but when Microsoft does it its called moneyhatting.
Moneyhat = a game that would be multiplat becomes exclusive.
People really need to start using the term correctly.
This. It annoys me like nothing else, especially when they divide additional content amongst retailers. Infuriating.
At the very least make it timed. At least everyone gets access at some point that way.
I don't see why additional content shouldn't be considered moneyhatting if another platform is deprived from it. I hate when any platform holder does this. Nintendo seems to be the only one not partaking in this nonsense.

Agent game inside GTA V ?

What time is it?
It's annoying for sure. Luckily, in the past, most exclusive content has been unremarkable.

That's only for your GTA:O player profile, not for your single player campaign save file, in case anyone is wondering.
I don't even remember what it was.
Wasn't it just 3 fixer contracts where you had to follow someone, download his stuff and then kill him?

Jim Ryan seems to hint in an interview that the Keys to Krat feature was partly because of something built in the PS4's architecture to begin with, as in being able to invite your friends.
Not sure how much of that is simply marketing BS, but if true, I definitely welcome more marketing 'content exclusives' in the vein of FC4's, where it's unquestionably unique and a really great value-addition instead of timed DLC or horse armor.
I would pay $59.99 or more for that total package.
Even more if you went to the "airport" to fly to Vice City and got to go there all in one game.
Yep. It was awful.
expect more to come, when you dominate the planet everyone comes to you.
Ooooh, didn't even think of that, that would be neat.
Ha, that would be pretty awesome too.
Don't even tease that... That's just too cruel cause that probably isn't it (but it would be great).
Lol.
Honestly, I have no idea, it will probably be just some custom clothes but honestly, I'd freak if it was one of the three replies Iisted above besides the blimp (sorry, already got the blimp on PS3
). And I don't even care if it was exclusive to PS4, I just want to be able to do that stuff above.
Don't know about that gta started to get huge back in the ps2 days.

90% of the time I come into these threads just to observe the difference in language used by GAFfers in response to sort of thing, and its MS equivalents
And y'all never ever disappoint
oh no dude it definitely 100% has the added definition, "also, any time Microsoft secures anything ever", where ya been

It's all made-up terminology, not like there's an actual definition to it.
And I don't see the why exclusive content wouldn't count as a money hat. Paying to keep content off another platform is a money hat.

Pretty much.
Im still surprised that AC:Unity wont have any exclusive content on Xbox One.

Because there's never anything worth having as exclusive content. Just check out the most recent Watch_Dogs content on PS4.
A multiplatform game being bought over to one system is horrible and sucks. Getting content on one or the other doesn't matter.
Well I recall I started playing the first GTA via DOS on my birthday way back when Lylat Wars (Star fox came out on N64) so... maybe 1997. Playing those 2 and Quake was awesome!

The PS1 version of the 1st came out shortly(like 2 months) after the PC but GTA became huge on the PS2, San Andreas sold +22M on that platform alone. They're right in saying that GTA is traditionally a PlayStation franchise.

Speaking of which, I'm surprised we didn't get updated console numbers from either MS or Sony.
This is absolutely, and unfortunately, the norm now and it won't be changing anytime soon. Retailer exclusive pre-order content and moneyhatted platform DLC makes all the business people along the line happy because everyone can yell about something that differentiates their store, their console, their blah blah whatever. It's annoying but it's probably here for a couple gens at least.
Moneyhatting game exclusivity is much worse and impossibly shitty. Yeah, it's annoying when you're missing out on a few missions or a special unlockable hat for not ordering from Z-Mart or where the fuck ever, but at least you get to play the game. Simply handing over cash to prevent a completed multiplat game from being on competing consoles is the single shittiest way of creating "value" for your platform and should be regarded as such.

Hey look it's that dog!
I reckon Scarecrow is going to be an exclusive PS4 character, and he rides around Los Santos on a giant Chop.
I don't doubt that it became a massive success during the GTA3 PS2 era. But it was a significant driver of games on it's original DOS release and subsequent Windows and PS1 releases. It was a well known name before GTA3, in large thanks to Windows and PS1
