Hey, how come Sony didn't invest in any big 3rd party exclusives?

Things like Rapture are PS4 exclusive, not all of them are timed.
That's a far cry from the situation Titanfall is in.

I need to ask, do you know something about Vita? XD
Its that far away, nooooooooooo.
Arc Sys is working on something.

Announce in TGS? Whatever, Hype mode initiated.
They mentioned it in an interview not too long ago.
That's SE for you.
Holy crap, did they just make this deal today or is the game like a MMO or something? Is this one of the two JRPG's you said Studio Japan was working on?

FFXVI would be years away, so would a FFXV spin off.

Are you kidding me?! FFS
Anything is possible. I wouldn't hold my breath though lol, especially if you're a Gears of War fan. Epic Games may own the IP, but MS owns the publishing rights ;-)

Is it even possible for a company to own publishing rights for a franchise indefinitely even though they don't own the IP?

A better question is why doesnt Microsoft spend their money on first party studios? Microsoft never keeps buying exclusives...after year 2 and forward the amount of money they spend on 3rd party exclusives drops dramatically.

An exclusive from WB? Could it be a new F,E,A,R? Perhaps it's a new State of Emergency. Or a new No-One Lives Forever? Wouldn't that be something....
Then again, it could be something from Traveler's Tales. A Lego game based on one of Sony's IPs perhaps?

LEGO Uncharted actually sounds pretty cool

Both Uncharted and God of War would make for pretty cool Lego games.

It's not Third Party if it's published by Microsoft (or Sony or Nintendo)
The same rumor that's been around since the franchise started. I guess that explains why MS is hiring for a producer for Epic and Gears of War.

Why would they spend money on 3rd party exclusives when they can get their studios to make games.
No long term commitment. Once they get a solid user base established they can greatly reduce overhead by pulling back to just iterative releases of Halo, Forza, etc.. Don't need a bunch of 1st party studios for that.
Now they're trying to cobble together first party titles like they did at the beginning of the OG Xbox, but with no Bungie level developer to purchase.
LEGO Kratos...Would that be amazing or terrible? I'd really like some LEGO games of Sony 1st party stuff, maybe a LEGO Heroes, with Crash, Spyro, Sackboy, knack, jak, nathan drake, etc.
God it's so lame how we continue to segment these markets. These days, a 5 million seller can just as easily come from the digital indie realm as the retail market.
Great games are great games.
Also, Sony has third party exclusives. But they don't feel the need to spend for them as often because their first party studios dwarf the competition.
Both strategies are fine, Microsoft and Sony's are both out of necessity - Sony because they don't have as much free cash to buy third party exclusives, and Microsoft because they don't have enough time to rapidly build up their first party studios to be able to compete with Sony in output and quality.

I think Lockstarter is Rockstar and is one of the WRPGs he's teasing.
As for Lazyeye, well, I really don't have any idea. Probably Ubi or a JP studio.

Uhhh, I hate insiders.
Lockstarter and Lazyeye.
If we find something that makes sense to us, if it ends up being what Verendus meant, if the actual deals happen, if Verendus is not bullshitting. MAYBE we'll see a game from those talented guys at Lockstarter and Lazyeye.
I don't get excited about this stuff. Even once Sony announce it, it's still not definite.
So just... Wait for their first party announcements. Sony shouldn't pay for third party. Just make better first party stuff.

Are you talking about announced games like Deep Down and Yakuza or unannounced games? (Or both)
Because they are in a position where they don't have to reveal everything. If they had shit reception and preorders they would be acting like MS and announcing everything and anything they can.
He said Yakuza was not part of the deal which makes sense the series has always been on PS
I bet Namco Bandai release a low budget Tales port to PS4 to get the audience moved to the system then release a full fledged Tales later. There is going to be one more PS3 Tales

No deal yet. I was on auto-pilot and not really thinking when I included it. And no, it's not one of those two JRPGs.
Is SCEJ collaborating with anyone for those RPGs or is it all them?
343 Industries
Black Tusk Studios
Team Dakota
PressPlay
Twisted Pixel Games
Lift London
MS Osaka
MS Victoria
They are investing in new first party studios.
Those titles will sell like crap on the xbawx. So in a way, it's still a Sony "exclusive"
capcom 5 never forget
Surely they're trolling Tier 9 Japan.
So were Mass Effect and Ninja Gaiden.
Oh okay, do you know anything about the VR headset that might be announced at TGS?
