The first game sold over 7 million copies. It is extremely likely they would've made a sequel anyway.As a Wii U owner looking forward to playing Bayo 2 in October, there is no way I can get salty about this.
Yes, Microsoft bought themselves a high profile AAA exclusive. I doubt it'll be the last time they do so, and I doubt Sony won't be doing the same thing as well. AAA games are more expensive than ever. When publishers are running low on funds like Square are, they're going to start looking for more support and guarantees from platform holders. Whatever Microsoft paid, I'm sure it helped cover the initial cost of development for the game.
There is no reason for people to get super salty about this. Microsoft made a good decision, and bought themselves a nice exclusive. Xbone owners have got something else to look forward to now. I doubt I'll play the game anytime in the near future, but I'm sure it'll make for a nice reason to one day pick up a Bone. Anyone who uses this as a jumping off point to go on about the Evil Empire Microsoft, and how this is another example of them ruining things for everyone, and how it needs a definitive PS4 release too, yadda yadda, please. Don't turn this into another Bayo 2 reveal thread. For all we know, Microsoft could have been funding this from the beginning.
Let's all keep our heads here. Every platform is going to have exclusives that everyone wants. It's going to sting sometimes, but that's how exclusivity works.
Bayo 2 was a game that would've been cancelled if Nintendo hadn't stepped in.
Not the same thing at all. Pure moneyhats just suck.
Lol, possibly the single most ridiculous post in the thread, no offense.Good god the PS bias on this forum is sickening. Constant jibes about 900p 30fps, shot themselves in the foot etc... etc...
Is there anywhere on GAF where adults share their opinion rather than angsty teenagers with a severe brand loyalty delusion?
Certainly, there are some overreactions, but you talking about where adults share their opinions rather angsty teenagers is far more hilarious.
