Support NeoGAF

[Woo-Fu]

It is his job to say that. Can't blame him for saying it or expect him to say anything else.

 

[Raven77]

Oh Microsoft, you're arrogance is matched only by early and pre-PS3 era Sony.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

The talent behind the game is all that has to be known. Plus for the first time, they won't be creativity limited or having to deal with interfering publishers. It's going to be big dude.

What talent? They're an unproven studio who have the ex-IW guys. Theres no guarantee hit. Like EA will let them do whatever they want. I'm going to see what the hell it is before pulling stuff from my ass. Not saying it cannot be big, just saying theres no guarantee.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Wow your posts in MS threads are funny, so much delusion. FF isn't huge and certainly not the biggest exclusive any of the big 3 could get if they wanted.

Not sure where the Fallout 4 rumours are coming from, don't think they'll be true, if they are that'd be huge.

ok.
Weren't you one of the biggest offenders of 'there'll be so much salt' in the pre-reveal thread for the Xbone? You'd know a lot about delusion, eh.

FF is bigger than Fallout, tbh.

 

[Beermeister]

Dat arrogance. E3 will be amazing.

 

[UrbanRats]

This better not mean MS have exclusive rights to a next-gen version of GTA V!!!

Why would that happen?

 

[dragonbane]

With Titan, Id say they have an franchise that could easily sell a great deal of systems. That IP will have the marketing of a game that sells 9 to 10m.

I dunno. I think EA lacks the ability to release a CoD killer. CoD is also so big as it is, because it is multi-platform. You don't release a CoD killer exclusive on a system.
EA struck gold with Battlefield, but that was an established IP to begin with. I'm really not sure if they can establish a completely new IP in the same way.

We'll see soon...

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

They could have surprised everyone with lots of games but all they're doing is raising the bar they have to meet. Building hype can be a dangerous thing.

 

[Durante]

FF is still the third party franchise with the most worldwide appeal. FF13 sold over 2 million in every major region.

Of course, it does not seem like MS particularly cares about any region other than the US.

I think realistically speaking the only major scoop would be Fallout 4, but there's no weight to that speculation - if anything it'll be exclusive DLC.

I don't believe Bethesda would not put Fallout 4 on PC.

 

[funkystudent]

I can see it happening.

If we take a step back and look at the general rumours going into this E3 it seems like MS has a massive advantage when it comes to western support. Ether through exclusive DLC's in already hugely popular franchises or exclusive games from big name western developers.
They already have all there 1th party targeting X1 as well as a bunch of new teams working on new IP.

Sony on the other hand is bring a lot more Japanese support and I am sorry but that wont cut it when most Japanese development has been a shit show for years. They have 1th party developers scattered on both ps3 and ps4 with ps3 getting a sequel to PlayStations most popular franchise the same season the ps4 is out which is maybe the dumbest move since 599.

Sony will need some pretty big shockers to come out better then MS at this E3

 

[Miles X]

One of the biggest? No? If so how would that be delusion more hope. Same with my expectations of MS games at E3, I expect good things.

Hasn't FF always been exclusive to PS in Japan, where it does the bulk of sales??

 

[intheinbetween]

lol, it's going to be funny the least

 

[Phonomezer]

Nobody expected it to be that bad.

 

[Odahviing]

Fallout 4 won't be an exclusive, this is the dumbest idea i've ever heard. Even on the official F3 forums threads with that topic get immidiately closed just because of the sheer stupidity.

 

[dab0ne]

The only way they're going to come even remotely close to doing that is if they change their policies. I hope it happens. I want to like this console, I just can't right now.

 

[dragonbane]

Why would that happen?

Does the $1b sum include third party exclusives? If so and something this big would happen, I can only pity their 1st party titles lol Such a deal could easily cost $300m at this point.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

I guess this means they're going to drop the online requirement, the used game limitations, the required Kinect, and announce TimeSplitters 4 as a launch exclusive?

 

[Ranger X]

- Business announces a shit product - Check!
- Reaction from people is disastrous - Check!
- Business blames the sun and stars alignment for their shit product - Check!
- In fear from the competition, Business becomes arrogant - Check!


Microsoft follows all the normal steps towards failure. That doesn't bode well. Its like that all the time when a big one makes a mistake.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

'exclusive windows and things to create differentiation'

So timed exclusives and exclusive DLC.
I wouldn't assume they're outright buying exclusives - third parties are reluctant to do that.

...the 1 billion not really about third party

The entire studio is made up of developers who've worked on the biggest shooters in gaming. Cod, MOH back when the series was huge. Every where they've gone they've had massive success. An exclusive game from them is big news.

Sure it ain't. An exclusive that could sell 6-8 million is definitely not big lmao. Oh and FF is bigger than Fallout.

Ok so they have shooting game talent. Still does not guarantee success. An exclusive from them is certainly something to anticipate.

 

[Maxrunner]

I cant see it happening.

Lol. Ms exclusives are all dudebroness....

 

[dancmc]

FF isn't huge, lol!

Well; it may not be as huge as it used to be; but it's still a super huge franchise. If MS ever got a FF exclusive (never happen); it would be one of the biggest coups (moneyhats) in history.

Could you imagine the meltdowns if MS bought SE and got the FF/Monster Hunter/Dragon's Quest/Kingdom Hearts exclusives? I think the gamers in Japan would implode!!!

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Nobody expected it to be that bad.

And yet the sequel to that 'bad' game still went on to sell 3 million copies.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Lmao. This will make a disappointing show even more entertaining.

 

[Durante]

Hasn't FF always been exclusive to PS in Japan, where it does the bulk of sales??

No an no.

FF is pretty much the only major third party franchise that sells equally well in all regions.

 

[Nevergiveup]

FF huge really? Megaton? This isn't 1997-2006 anymore guys that train ended

 

[dancmc]

Boy, MS better really bring it and show some of that $1 billion

 

[Impeccable]

FF huge really? Megaton? This isn't 2003-2006 anymore guys that train ended

Sorry but each reset of the franchise does just that. FF is enormous and to say otherwise is weird.

 

[jet1911]

No. But some people are convinced that FF is irrelevant, so it's not such a big deal, lol.

Some people are high as fuck 24/7 it seems.

 

[QaaQer]

spot on unfortunately. I really think MS has spent serious money on keeping content off ps4 to offset the xbone's less consumer friendly initiatives. We'll be seeing alot of 'only on xbone' this year.

GT could have counter acted a lot of that, but I believe they are using that game to fund the ps4 launch. I don't blame them, because now is the time capitalize on that 75-80 million ps3 install base.

 

[Miles X]

Sure it ain't. An exclusive that could sell 6-8 million is definitely not big lmao. Oh and FF is bigger than Fallout.

Yeah because FF is at it's peak isn't it ..., it wouldn't do anywhere near that these days, the quality has damaged the brand too much.

Didn't Fallout 3 do about 5m in it's first 3 months??

 

[Marleyman]

I look forward to high quality games. Please don't be Kinect though.

 

[Durante]

If FF (that is, mainline FF) is not "huge", then the only "huge" third party franchises are CoD and GTA. That's a very limited definition.

Every one of those things could have been said about the iPad.

Do we know that?

"invest" is a very broad statement...

 

[Miles X]

lol no. Assassins Creed, Battlefield both over 8m each.

Even Elder Scrolls.

[Azelover]

I just wanna know what their pricing will be.

 

[Acquiescence]

Third console curse carrying on in full effect it seems.

 

[Verendus]

Hasn't FF always been exclusive to PS in Japan, where it does the bulk of sales??

FF does the bulk of its sales in the West. Even FF13 (such a shitty game) did 2/3 of its total shipment (6.6 million last I checked) outside of Japan. That game basically did that entire shipment off the name of the franchise. FF has been crap this past generation, but it's still a bigger game/franchise than pretty much every third party title out there excluding the really big dogs like COD, BF, Fifa, Assassins Creed etc. And to be frank, nothing is really bigger than those anyway. They're basically the giants which will never be exclusive. Basically, it's still a pretty big franchise and it's a pretty dumb thing to try and argue it isn't as it sits on the tier of franchises just below that.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Someone better call the cops.

 

[Ingeniero]

MS wouldn't say this kind of thing unless they really have big cards under their sleeve.
Looking forward to it.
I expect lots of exclusives to be announced, some of them big franchises.

 

[Impeccable]

lol no. Assassins Creed, Battlefield both over 8m each.

I seriously think people saying FF exclusive isn't big have a certain agenda. :/

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

Thats not stopping those being kinect games and arcade game though, you really think that those 15 games will be core new ips?.

Yes yes they spend 1 billion to make Kinect and Arcade games,feels good now?

 

[Miles X]

I seriously think people saying FF exclusive isn't big have a certain agenda. :/

Get over yourself and check what thread you're in, the only people that have an agenda are Sony fans littering One threads.

I think PS4 will beat One and I think it'll have far better games that help it do that than FF, can you not hack someone saying FF isn't huge anymore?

I gave you two examples and you can't even dispute it.

 

[Ran rp]

MS wouldn't say this kind of thing unles they really have big cards under their sleeve.

I'm sure they would.

 

[Master Genesis Dream]

Don't understand the controversy.

Either he's correct and MS has an amazing show with plenty of games to look forward to.

Or the show is a disaster and the forum can have a great time making fun of it.

It's a win for NeoGaf either way.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Just another part of their long line of victories including the slaughter of Google and the maiming of Apple.
