Resident Evil 6 sold almost a million in Japan on PS3. Making it X1 only would guarantee the series' death (at least GC back in the day made some sense). Capcom is stupid but not that much (at least I don't think they are).
LOL! Half life 3

After all the trouble they went to last gen to reboot the franchise, they won't be exclusive any time soon, if ever.
Ha! Speak for yourself. For me King's Field 4 was Atari Jaguar buying good. Maybe even Philips CDI buying good.
I'd be incredibly surprised if this wasn't exclusive at this point, so yeah.
"Secret PS3 game": Xbox One Edition.

Ill say Shenmue 3. PS has hinted at it multiple times, its big (yeah, it is!), and totes unexpected.
It can't really be "big" if its a new IP, right? That specific verbage would indicate its an already established franchise, yes?
MK vs. KI would be too sick. Bird flu.

+1 Xbone sale right here if that happens.
No chance in hell. MK9 was extremely successful and there is no way NRS/WB wouldn't want to release the sequel on as many systems as possible.

Series is already on life support. I'd encourage it going X1 exclusive for the next entry if it means the death of the series and a reboot as some point.
Wouldn't surprise me if they contracted Epic to do a franchise for them. Considering the success of GeoW franchise, it could very well be based on Samaritan or Infiltrator concepts.
No, it's no longer developer by Epic. This has been known for quite some time.

I'm excited to see what it is but what an incredibly vague rumor and like others have said, ""big" third-party exclusive reveal" sounds like they are exclusively revealing it (like @ Sony's conference with KHIII and Mad Max) and not that it's an exclusive game for Xbox. I guess the source meant that a "big" third-party exclusive will be revealed.
Who said that?
certainly not on the 'losing' platform, way too many sales at stake. However money talks in this industry.
LoL... you are aware of Deep Down right?

I wouldn't call that big though. The way I understood it was it was something big for the current fanbase. Shenmue would be big news amongst it's niche fanbase but that's about it.
I'm thinking maybe something from Epic (though I wouldn't call that surprising)

It will probably be an EA franchise, so maybe Mirrors edge 2 ?

It's called smart business. An game exclusive to the platform may entice people that don't have said platform to buy said platform.
It would have been completed with or without MS's money..especially since they signed the deal for complete exclusivity way later in the dev cycle
as for how it did..it did well but I don't think it did as well as they would have hoped..at least when it comes to the impact it had on hardware sales of Xbone.
That said given the sales numbers right now exclusive games should cost MS more money than before ..unless they had the deals in place before the sales gap really got wider between Xbone and PS4
My money is on some capcom game again.

Left 4 Dead 3
Fallout 4
One of those. Those are my guesses.

No different to Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, The Order: 1886, or Resistance.
It's common.

I know you meant Fallout 4 but Microsoft going "And we have Fallout 3, exclusive for the Xbox One" and hearing like two people clapping and going "Woooo, yeah!" would be the funniest thing.

Maybe, personally it'll just push me away. I've no problem with them funding games like DR, but if it's a moneyhatted game I'll be delaying my purchase. I don't like supporting those kinds of business decisions, I want MS to focus on themselves and make their first part something worth talking about.
There's a difference between funding a game and moneyhatting

Money does indeed talk, but I really can't see any MK game going exclusive in the foreseeable future.
They've finally got the series back on course, going exclusive to any console could jeopardise that newly found success.
It's not just a company paying to 'stop' games going elsewhere.
if it's a situation like DR3,Titanfall or Bayonetta 2 where the game would have probably get canned without extra funding being poured in from outside then I see no problem.
Microsoft own Gears of War. A new title is currently in development and we won't hear about it this year unless there's a logo teaser.

Shenmue 3 does seem the most likely. I wouldn't be surprised if MS ended there conference with it.
"Oh and one more thing before you leave today."
*Shenmue 3 trailer plays*
*GAF explodes*

I can kinda see MS funding Shenmue 3 much like they did with Dead Rising 3.
Money hatting takes two parties to make it work - the money giver, and the money taker. If you don't like money hat deals, perhaps it is the one who takes the money that also needs a talking to, yes?
What would you do if the 3rd party exclusive was a game that you, personally, MUST have i.e. a personal favourite of yours?

Well I hope said third party exclusive is more titanfall than moneyhat. Moneyhats bring nothing to the industry, but funding amazing games that never would have been made is obviously a good thing.
Bring it on MS. Give me a reason to buy an Xbox.

With whose money? EA were backing away from the project because it looked like a disaster and Sony weren't interested either as they were likely more interested in Destiny. MS saved the game from ending up on the scrapheap. Might not be what some people want to hear, but that's how it played out.

Titanfall would never have gotten canned. You actually believe EA would have let that happen? Come on, they wanted it to be the next CoD.
That could be just a hype word.

left 4 dead would never be exclusives to the x1.left 4 dead is incredibly popular on the pc and has a strong player base still. Valve would be shitting on their loyal pc customers if they did that.

Modern exclusives usually aren't just paid to stay off other systems. That money usually goes in to the game in a way that offsets the huge loss in revenue they'd suffer for making it exclusive.
