Capcom: Deep Down is a PS4-Exclusive Because Sony Approached Us

Well, it's a JP only focused game, and there PS4 has a huge share, MS almost doesn't exist. So maybe it wouldn't be profitable to release it on XBO.
 
Honor. Not money.

If Sony spends a single dime on Capcom, it's gonna be on Monster Hunter - not a new IP.

Yeah, still surprised Nintendo has held onto that IP, (the major ones at least) as exclusive, Sony has to find a way to get in on that and try and get a port at least..




And Microsoft approached them for Dead Rising 3.

Yup, exactly, but did MS co-developed DR3?

the thing is, we need to know how extensive "co-developing" is. MS sent people to the canada cap com branch to iron out the frame rate of DR3. Is that considered co-developing?
 
Is there any difference in this situation and Tomb Raider? Confused to see so much support for a bought 3rd party exclusive in this context.

Yes, there is. Deep Down is being co-developed by Capcom Online Games studio and SCEJ studio, whereas Tomb Raider isn't. Neither was Dead Rising 3.

Nope, otherwise Destiny, Diablo 3 and other games would be considered co-developed by MS.
 
Capcom trying to make Sony share the shade that's been thrown at them over the years. It's one way to handle it I guess.
 
I forgot about this game. Is it getting good impressions from the press? Kinda crazy that games like driveclub and deep down. That were at the PS launch show are launching so late. Crazy.
 
Game will be multi platform and probably the only reason was exclusive is the previous Microsoft P2P policy.




Where this come from?

.

Looking at things there really is no signs it's been co-developed. No mentions of SCEJ in trailers, or the original announcement on capcom.
 
As the WiiU has loads of Character Action Games, Sony really love bringing Souls-alikes to their system. That's a good thing imo as it brings some personality to this console gen.

The lack of but hurt over exclusivity is ....weird, Edit, this game is F2P? well that explains it then
 
'Approaching' and 'just asking' don't quite work like this. Sony will of course have a financial or development investment in the title, otherwise there's no incentive for Capcom to not re-use those assets for a XB1 port, and make money from them.

If DD stays exclusive, it'll be because Sony fronted some cash, one way or another, and had it written into the game's contract.

Not necessarily with Japanese devs making what appears to be a Japan-centric titles.

PS5 maybe
 
I would be a lot more hyped about this game if i wouldn't fear that this is what we get instead of a new Dragon's Dogma.
Just announce DD2 Capcom!
 
Wouldn't be surprised if Sony also just sent out devkits to Capcom well in advance like what Microsoft were doing with Japanese companies last gen with the 360.
