Redfall is a genuinely bad game, Starfield should not be uttered in the same sentence.
Oh, it should, absolutely

They wouldn't show it if they were still in negotiation. Because that would put them in disadvantage when marvel sees the reaction and they will have the upper hand in negotiation.They might be still in negotiations with Marvel/Disney re this. Game is probably 2-3 years away.
edit. We know it will be on Xbox, gamepass, pc, steam that’s the minimum that we can be sure of.
Windows central thinks otherwise. What make this really funny to me is that someone said the same thing in the thread about this game reveal and nobody really noticed. But then we got another thread just for that. It should be really simple, as you have said. But it isn't. It should be really simple for Xbox to fix this, but they have yet to do so. How can someone go from having a exclusive interview with the CEO of Xbox to having Xbox not being able to say something as easy as if their game is exclusive or not? This is the problem, not the game itself. Better get a laugh about it, because I prefer having people being silly with this game going to PS than Xbox embarrasing themselves if somehow the game get multiplat.Would this thread be a thing if this game was made by Insomniac? Come on, people. Arkane is a Microsoft studio. Just accept that and move on. Playstation gets a Wolverine game.

It be on pc. Which is a bigger market then both1. Recoup dev costs by releasing on the current leading console worldwide
2. Ensure its not another mid MS exclusive
Why would marvel want to tie their IP to a fringe console?
They wouldn't show it if they were still in negotiation. Because that would put them in disadvantage when marvel sees the reaction and they will have the upper hand in negotiation.
Also I don't think it's even legal to show it if it's not done deal in terms of license and negotiation.
And this is a preplanned project since ar least 1 year if not more and they know exactly what development system it's on.
Its just MS being stupid MS.
In truth though I think they just want to maintain the image of nice MS and pro all consoles and systems because
1- still the FTC side battle
2- same as Indiana Jones they wanna leave it as a different date announcement
It's because they didn't list platforms at all. Sony always does so.
Would this thread be a thing if this game was made by Insomniac?
This, in reality, is what you've just said.There is if Marvel expects a certain [DOLLAR_FIGURE] and isn't confident in Xbox providing that.
No it wouldn't because Sony would shout it from the rooftops that it's an exclusive.Would this thread be a thing if this game was made by Insomniac? Come on, people. Arkane is a Microsoft studio. Just accept that and move on. Playstation gets a Wolverine game.
This.Who cares at this point? The game is a couple years away. Why focus on what platform it is going to be on or not. We do know it will be on Xbox. Which also means it will more than likely also be on PC.
When I watched it, I thought to myself, "This is probably going to PlayStation as well." If it does, that is a win a for the PlayStation only people, giving them access to more games. If not, it will be an exclusive for Xbox peeps and good for them; that is what more studios get you.
At this point though, it does not matter. Why get into such a tizzy over a single trailer for a game so far out?
This will come to PS5 , Disney and Sony have a very strong relationship. But mostly it makes business sense and Phil Spencer made comments what like 2 weeks ago that they will be making games available on all platforms. They’d love to have game pass on PS5 it’s only Sony stopping it. So this will come to Sony machines.

You mean as opposed to "WORLD PREMIERE""EXCLUSIVE"and the famous "LAUCHING EXCLUSIVELY ON XBOX"?No it wouldn't because Sony would shout it from the rooftops that it's an exclusive.
Relax. My point is that Sony is clear about these things when it comes to first party.You mean as opposed to "WORLD PREMIERE""EXCLUSIVE"and the famous "LAUCHING EXCLUSIVELY ON XBOX"?
And let's not forget the interdiction to announce other platforms before a certain time period that is exclusive to Xbox.
Yes. There was plenty of speculation of whether Spider-man would be a timed PlayStation exclusive or not back when it was announced.

It’s Xbox exclusive but doing it this way drums up more conversation now and then even more when it’s official. Phil “Case by case” Spencer.
Compare the trailer for Kojima's new game which had Xbox, Xbox Game Studios and Microsoft logo's front and back and is listed on the Xbox Youtube channel. This trailer had the Marvel, Bethesda and Arkane logos but nothing related to Xbox or MS. It also can't be found on the official Xbox channel. That's odd for what should be a big new Xbox/Gamepass exclusive game competing with Spider-Man and Wolverine.
Hellblade 2 was before the FTC thing. Blade 2 is a new game the FTC can use against them in the sense " look, MS said they like their games on all platforms but in reality it's a lie and here is an example blade is Xbox exclusive"How does acting like it's not an exclusive help it with the FTC? They showed games last night that were exclusives (Hellblade 2), so why would it "look" bad if Blade was exclusive too?

Zero reason to put this on PS.
Avengers Spiderman, sure.
Who thought a first party developed Spiderman wasn’t going to be exclusive to PlayStation?
Zero reason to put this on PS.
And when MS isn't it's usually because it is not.Relax. My point is that Sony is clear about these things when it comes to first party.
Yeah…unless they want to sell the gameZero reason to put this on PS.
Potentially tens of millions in revenue and profits. No big deal.
This seems very likely, IMO.I think its going to be Xbox exclusive
I think the problem is that it wont be day 1 on gamepass
OR its so early in development it wont be launching on any current gen system
So no point in first party exclusives then. Sony should bring their franchises to Nintendo, right?
I have never had an Xbox console. I don't hate on those that do (because that's weird) but the games I have wanted have either been third party or exclusive to Sony (or Nintendo) since the PlayStation came out.Wouldn't be surprised if Blade is multiplat but OD seems like an original Xbox joint. PS fanboys gonna go hard on Kojima if it's true.
If Marvel are expecting sales then honestly, why release on Xbox in the 1st place? We ALL know Xbox doesn't care about sales. It's all about engagement and subs for game pass. Xbox fanboys don't buy games, hence why most companies release games on Playstation and Switch.There is if Marvel expects a certain number of sales and isn't confident in Xbox providing that.
Won't stop me from review bombing it
Yeah, there is a point to first party exclusives. First and foremost to add value to the platform. A multiplat doesn't necessarily do that for one system over another. But when you are in a situation like Xbox consoles where the platform has a hard time growing past a certain point then the company has to start looking elsewhere in order to stay in business. That's why Xbox games are on Steam day one.
Yeah, this ain't exactly helping to quash all the "Microsoft going third party" talk. Some here are acting all coy about this, but in reality.....

Console growth is done by having exclusives that drive hardware sales. Microsoft cant sell Xbox to console customers if they’re putting their games on PlayStation.
PC is another story. They’re just looking to sell the game, and Steam is the store to sell on.
