Oh well, since I have absolutely no interest in any MS hardware I'll have to miss this game.

TTP said:Its clear MS plans to turn this into a Kinect exclusive, and Ubisoft to profit from the extra marketing push.
TTP said:I wonder if Sony has even tried to avoid this. They seem focused on letting small devs do the Move exclusives instead. Which is really hurting them IMO.PlayStation Move Heroes is terribly boring game. Lots of 5 or less incoming I'm afraid
Agent X said:I agree about PlayStation Move Heroes, though. The individual events in the demo seemed to play OK on their own, but at the same time the total package feels disjointed, like a bunch of minigames without a cohesive "glue" to hold them together.
GarthVaderUK said:Disc based.
That sounds amazing.Man said:Betting NGP announcement at E3 with back touch surface controls.
Agent X said:It looks like Microsoft trying to persuade them to avoid releasing a Move-enabled version. I'm not opposed to having a extra marketing push for Kinect, but to deny the game to Move players altogether would be a sad turn of events.
Isn't this normal for something to be timed exclusive? I saw nobody bat a eyelash when EA gave exclusive content to PS3 multi-platform games or Ubisoft for that matter. Then people said it was because those publishers where "supporting" the PS3, while we all know those where bought. Those deals prevented that content to go to the other platforms, so whats the difference between those deals and this deal?Agent X said:It looks like Microsoft trying to persuade them to avoid releasing a Move-enabled version.

PuppetMaster said:Wait this is a $60 game? For some reason I was expecting it to be a budget down-loadable
Kafel said:It would be even sadder for Ubi to get poor sales.
It's a niche disc based game. No need to add extra difficulties by having to support the game on two platforms. Accept MS help and ride the Kinect wave.
The game will still be good for PS3 users next year.
It is multiplat.The Extractor said:That doesn't even make sense, this game needs to be multiplat in order to sell more. Unless you were being sarcastic.
TheOddOne said:It is multiplat.

Yeah, thats is a good/bad thing. But if the game is good, even praised, I have no doubt it will sell good later on the PS3.Jmanunknown said:That was exclusive content not the whole game getting delayed. For all we know the PS3 version of Child of Eden may never be released at all. at least it could be a minor timed-exclusive which could be horrible for the PS3 version if it is released during the holiday period at worst we could be looking at a last remnant situation which it probably won't be. Its nice for a title like this which so far has been connected at the hip with kinect to get help from microsoft but, its a double edged sword you get the help with marketing and stuff but you kill the potential of the PS3 version with the delay to sell to its fullest. Delayed games on one platform usually sell worse than if they were to be released day and date with the other platform.
Clear said:What do people think of its chances at retail?
Personally I highly doubt Kinect is going to help it much at all, a lot of people seem to find the whole psychedelic light-show aspect a turn-off.
TheOddOne said:Yeah, thats is a good/bad thing. But if the game is good, even praised, I have no doubt it will sell good later on the PS3.
Agent X said:Well, it depends on how you define "poor sales". Would the game sell better as an Xbox 360/Kinect exclusive (either timed or full exclusive), or as a multiplatform release?
As a Kinect exclusive, they will lose much of the PS3 crowd. The PS3 fan base has never been fond of late and/or crippled "downports" and I don't see this being an exception. I'm a big fan of some of Mizuguchi's previous games like Rez, Lumines, and Every Extend Extra, but I couldn't bring myself to buy a deliberately crippled version of the game if I know that the designer's heart is not fully into it.
The flip side of this is that the Xbox 360 base might embrace the game more for its exclusiveness. However, as you admitted, this is a niche game. Would a possible small bump in Xbox 360 purchases offset a potentially larger loss of sales on the PS3 side?
It might be "good", but I'd prefer that it be "superlative". Like I said, I wouldn't be inclined to buy the game if the developers truly didn't devote their best efforts to it.

Selling 79k and unknown digital copies is still something that sold well, even with no promotion.BroHuffman said:Like ME2?
TheOddOne said:Selling 79k and unknown digital copies is still something that sold well, even with no promotion.
@TTP: Good overview. Yeah, kinda get why people are so bummed out.
For something that was barely promoted, yes.The Extractor said:79K for a game that was GOTY is good?
Like I said earlier, it wouldn't be a stretch to believe that they're going to spend more on marketing than Q? did making the game.-Pyromaniac- said:I'll be kind of surprised if this game doesn't totally flop. Should be interesting enough. And I'm not saying this because of any kind exclusivity thing. I mean it on all platforms. Then again the definition of flop could vary considering I doubt it was expensive to make the game.
REMEMBER CITADEL said:Isn't No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise now a PS3 exclusive in the west? You win some, you lose some, just deal with it.
At least you'll get to play it later.
Giant Bomb? Definately sweat.Aruarian Reflection said:I'll be buying it day 1 to support Q, though I probably won't get a chance to play it until a few months later.
EDIT: This GiantBomb guy is sweating just waving his arms around. Is he nervous or is this how he normally is?
