MCV say it's FIFA 14. Massive news.

Holy shit.

Phil Spencer did mention they were going to talk about "Europe's biggest franchise" during the Gamescom showcase

[repeater]

Hopefully not The Fighter Within lol:

Ubi's well-documented love for new platforms makes this somewhat plausible.

 

[op_ivy]

sounds like an unannounced title

 

[urge26]

the rumor says "major" Christmas release, then says:

"This major game, the source said, is the "unique Xbox One exclusive" that Microsoft executive Phil Spencer said was being saved for a Gamescom announcement."

What major Christmas release has not been revealed? I'm missing something here.

MCV say it's FIFA 14. Massive news.

Huge news if this is true. If TITANFALL cost MS the rumoured $50million i wonder how much this cost!

 

[witchedwiz]

Probably a Kinect game.

Honestly guys, FIFA/COD? really? EA or Activision wouldn't do that for mere pennies.

this..
kinect or wll-known indie (minecraft)..
lol@cod or fifa..
that would cost microsoft a LOT..
and i mean a FRIGGING LOT...

 

[IHaveIce]

Ah, we likely don't know what the game is. I'd guess Crackdown 3 based on this:

"Unique Xbox One exclusive" that Microsoft executive Phil Spencer said was being saved for a Gamescom announcement."

Would be dumb, the other crackdown games aren't that popular in europe.


It is probably the Ubisoft fighter thing.

If it is Fifa this would be massive.

 

[RulkezX]

It cant be FIFA, dunno how many times people need to be told the FIFA license prohibits exclusivity.

"Unique Xbox exclusive" + " Big Christmas game" limits it to something like Dead Rising 3

 

[Bsigg12]

I'm betting FIFA based on the comments of Spencer last week. He said they had some news regarding Europes biggest franchise which I assume is FIFA, so this might be it.

Unless CVG is just behind on the news that the 8 countries that got cut from launch will all be receiving a free game.

It cant be FIFA, dunno how many times people need to be told the FIFA license prohibits exclusivity.

This isn't making it exclusive, this is just packing it in with every system.

 

[famousmortimer]

My guess is Dead Rising 3 since MS bankrolled its development according to CBoaT.

 

[iMax]

CVG says it's the unannounced exclusive, which can't be FIFA.

MCV seems to disagree.

 

[schwabdizzle]

It' probably Fifa which is HUGE for them. I have zero interest in soccer myself.

 

[Auto_aim1]

FIFA 14 will be absolutely massive, but I really doubt EA will do something like this.

 

[TheresHellToupee]

FIFA?

Not exclusive.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

So...

They are saying...they were actually under-delivering value?

I don't think you can over-deliver value, and feel that you need to add more value?

 

[The Last Wizard]

It has to be FIFA, what else would sell like hotcakes in Europe?

 

[demosthenes]

MCV says FIFA, but OP says it is an exclusive.

What gives.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

If it is Europe only, then FIFA 14 would make a lot of sense.

Then again, EA.

 

[Raide]

Actually, the Ubi fight games sounds likely. MS need to bundle something with the console to show off Kinect. New Kinect Sports would have made more sense but anything Kinect needs to convince people it can work.

 

[Quentyn]

They have to do a deal that makes sense to them. What game will bring them back massive revenue by giving it away. A multiplayer only game that gets a million sign ups to XboxLive as ppl want to play it. It has to be Titanfall in my opinion.

Also, this is great news if true. MS making some good progress on sweetening the deal.

Titanfall is not a major Christmas release.

 

[FrsDvl]

Fifa kinect trainer.

 

[GrundyTheMan]

My guess is that it would be Minecraft, simply because it is specifically mentioned to be third-party and there is no way they would try to do a launch console pack-in for a mature rated game. Family friendly sells consoles.

The last thing Microsoft needs are launch console purchasers getting turned away because they are too young to buy a mature rated game.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

I serious doubt it will be "Fighter Within" since Fighters Uncaged is super lame(even MS never hype this game)


And how can that be "major" anyway

 

[iMax]

It cant be FIFA, dunno how many times people need to be told the FIFA license prohibits exclusivity.

Doesn't prohibit bundling. Or exclusive content, which we know the Xbox One version will have.

 

[Haribo]

Unique in Microsofts eyes = Kinect. It'll be some horrid Kinect title.

 

[Can Crusher]

MS raising high, about to go all in.

 

[Xater]

Our definition of major is probably different from theirs. I like to keep my expectations very low so I'll guess it's some crappy kinect game or maybe something like Assassin's Creed 4.

Artivle says "unique Xbox One exclusive" I totally expect a Kinect game.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Fifa or CoD. EA and MS are in bed together and they're making sure that the neighbours are hearing them fucking.

 

[Oppo]

"We've spent hundreds of millions on providing content for the US and building the perfect console for services not available here in Europe. But for you, we have....Fantasia!"

When you put it that way...

It's definitely Fantasia

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Folks, it says Xbox One exclusive in the OP. It also hints that it's to be a game that Spencer is announcing at Gamescom. So it's likely not a game we know about yet and likely not a huge multiplat game. (FIFA, etc).

I'm still going with Crackdown 3.

 

[mocoworm]

the rumor says "major" Christmas release, then says:

"What major Christmas release has not been revealed? I'm missing something here.

By its very definition, the fact that it hasn't been announced means that you 1. Aren't missing anything and 2. Your question cannot be answered.

 

[scaryrobots]

this..
kinect or wll-known indie (minecraft)..
lol@cod or fifa..
that would cost microsoft a LOT..
and i mean a FRIGGING LOT...

Cost a lot? Did you forget MS has a shit ton of money?

 

[maquiladora]

MCV say it's FIFA 14. Massive news.

I don't think so...

This major game, the source said, is the "unique Xbox One exclusive" that Microsoft executive Phil Spencer said was being saved for a Gamescom announcement.

 

[quest]

My guess is Dead Rising 3 since MS bankrolled its development according to CBoaT.

That is the first thing that popped into my head also.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

Can't wait till this is nothing more than World of Tanks.

Edit: Could also be Spark or whatever that game is called.

 

[Gartooth]

If it ends up being FIFA I would love to know how much money EA made from these deals.

 

[Karak]

Holy shit.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=651063

I think the news might be confused and they will talk about Fifa and also have a game packed that is NOT FIFA. We will see though.

 

[TGO]

"reveal" indicates it's a unannounced game so it's can't be Fifa or any of the other games mentioned.
plus the free part means the sales from the game if sold on it's own wouldn't be as much as MS can offer them.....I wouldn't get excited.

 

[Riky]

Could mean an "Exclusive" Free pack in deal if it's FIFA, either way since I already got my preorder in I'm please to be getting a free game

 

[iMax]

...or Kinect Adventures 2.

 

[Gordon0Freeman]

I don't care what it is. I like free shit though

 

[Minions]

Hard to understand why EA would agree to this if they already know they are going to sell just as many copies otherwise. I guess Microsoft must have sweetened the deal a lot. I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't just drop the price if they want to get more people to purchase their console...

 

[King_Moc]

"unique Xbox One exclusive" + every console being bundled with Kinect = it's a Kinect game.

 

[Anth1888]

The MCV FIFA news needs to be added to the OP. Could be potentially huge news in the UK even though FIFA launches on Sept 29 I can see many people double dipping once they get a next-gen console.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Folks, it says Xbox One exclusive in the OP. It also hints that it's to be a game that Spencer is announcing at Gamescom. So it's likely not a game we know about yet and likely not a huge multiplat game. (FIFA, etc).

I'm still going with Crackdown 3.

Third party exclusive though?

 

[Garrett 2U]

I don't think so...

What if the "unique Xbox One exclusive" is a packed in free game, not that the unique exclusive is an actual exclusive game.

 

[sunnz]

£350 + £40 for PS plus ( can get cheaper, but RRP) + £40 for that game = £430

£430 + £40 for XBG ( can get cheaper, but RRP) + this free game = £470

£40 difference, enough for a whole new game.Even if fifa I doubt many are this silly ( plus with the ps4 coming out first as rumoured)

If it is an exclusive, then it's silly to compare the ps4 price with it

 

[RulkezX]

I'm betting FIFA based on the comments of Spencer last week. He said they had some news regarding Europes biggest franchise which I assume is FIFA, so this might be it.

Unless CVG is just behind on the news that the 8 countries that got cut from launch will all be receiving a free game.

Doesn't prohibit bundling. Or exclusive content, which we know the Xbox One version will have.

It says right there in the OP it would be an exclusive.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Megaton.

watch it be a kinect game... :/

 

[Kuro]

Its the Ubisoft Kinect fighting game
