Nirolak said:Technically Epic is already multiplatform with Unreal and People Can Fly's new game. They also own Titan Studios which made Fat Princess.
Opiate said:I don't think you're understanding me: I'm not passing judgement on natals chances, I'm saying that natal is ms' only project I see on the horizon which provides any opportunity for growth. If it succeeds, then they will grow. If it doesn't, I think they'll be in a very poor competitive position. In other words, I think Ms is tied to Natals success more closely than Sony is tied to arc.
If BOTH arc and natal facwplant, I'd rather be Sony than MS.
LosDaddie said:Basically, it's all downhill for the X360 unless NATAL is huge hit, correct?
And what is your point? Same as Opiate's point?
Opiate said:Basically, yes. Microsoft, like Sony, is a marketshare driven company. I think their marketshare will begin to erode rapidly if Natal isn't a hit. If it is a hit, the sky's the limit -- which is why I suspect Microsoft is handing out massive moneyhats for initial natal development. They have more to lose from natal's failure than Sony has to lose from Arc's.

gerg said:I'm not sure what your point is. The 360's sales were stagnant in 2009.
Right. I think gears 3 will be exclusive, and after that epic wont be exclusive with any major property ever again. There's simply too much money to be lost. Were rapidly reaching the point where meaningful exclusives -- that is, not something like timed exclusive DLC for a game -- are simply too costly to justify. I feel quite confident that Gears and Mass Effect will both be multiplat eventually.Jtyettis said:Seems more like a reference to Gears which I'm fairly certain 3 will indeed be published by MS.

When MGS4 shows up Agent will be holding hands with it. Oh wait...Dra-Q said:Probably?
That's what happens when you post 3 year old news.black_vegeta said:Hmmm, that question/statement flew right over my head. :/
Fuck it, I'm just going to lol like everyone else at the thread title change.
:lol :lol :lol :lol
RavenFox said:That's what happens when you post 3 year old news.
Opiate said:No. My point was that MS' initial goal was to attract all third party exclusives to go multiplat, and this game is an example of how that's pretty much been accomplished. My question is: what next? Because Epic will eventually go multiplatform, and Bungie is at least independant, if not actually an immanent threat to migrate to multiplat. One could easily argue that MS' first party is weaker now than it was at the 360s launch.
MirageDwarf said:But we all agree that Sony does better job of keeping any game exclusive if they want to as compared to MS, right?
Solid warrior said:Years Ago? what's going on? am i missing something? it's the first time for me to hear about LA Noir becoming Multi-platform.
chubigans said:Nah, Sony went to Rockstar and paid some cash to get a PS3 only game going. No way they're going to allow the game to make it's way elsewhere after funding it.
You can tell because Sony (think it was Trenton) was a bit disappointed that there wasn't much to announce about the Rockstar deal back in an interview. They gave them the deal and kinda waited around to see the results. Much different then seeing Agent and putting up some money to get it exclusively for their platform.
Even Rockstar said developing for just one system with Agent was very different, had it's benefits, etc.

OldJadedGamer said:Can someone post an official R* statement from "years ago" where they stated this title was multiplatform and not some rumor? Official confirmation?
Not games that they don't own the IP rights to. How many exclusives does the PS3 have released so far that they don't own the IP rights to? If you don't own the IP rights to a game, expect it to go multiplatform at some point in it's life.

fortified_concept said:You miss the point. PS3 doesn't have any exclusives that it doesn't own the IPs to (MGS4 is one and the next installment is definitely going multiplatform) because they abandoned the old pay-for-exclusivity system and focused on first party efforts.
REMEMBER CITADEL said:There was never an official confirmation, but there was this. Pretty obvious.
seady said:Dear all publishers, the best way to market your game these days:
1. Announce your game as exclusive to a single platform (despite the plan to release it for all systems).
2. Get all the fanboys of that system hyped.
3. Fanboys will help you market the game. Free of charge.
4. Attention Get.
5. Announce it as multiplatform near the time of release.
Publisher that mastered at this technique: Rockstar, SquareEnix, Capcom.
Seriously, if your game is not an existing big name franchise, the best way to make people aware of your game is to first announce it as exclusive.

Y2Kev said:Well, I know "noir" is a French word, and perhaps Noire might be a gendered form of noir, but Los Angeles is a masculine noun. Noire might also be an adverb.
P.S. You're an ass who might not speak French.
