Haha!
Yep. Small but vocal fanbases don't equal big dollars. As a Shenmue fan, I know this better than most.

Because it's Mirror's Edge. And it will probably be be Kinect centric.

If this ends up being part of MS and EA's partnership I'm gonna lose my shit, I had no plans of grabbing an XBone for at least 2 years....
But if it's a kinect "experience" I'll pass and hate EA for forcing an arm waving simulator

I think Mirror's Edge 2 is a perfect example of "Be careful what you wish for." I can totally see EA messing this up by making it Xbone Kinect exclusive or tossing in way too much shooting and combat in it. I don't have much faith with sequels when it comes to EA.
Parkouring on your living room? Count me the fuck in.

I'll bet you the RRP of an Xbone at launch that I will never buy an Xbox One.
I think it's actual image problem that MS needs to fix when people are saying "Xbone exclusive? No thanks." It might be sour grapes for some, sure, but when you already have an actual image problem with cause, it doesn't help matters.

I don't see them adding some extra gunplay to this game but that Kinect bullshit... Damn that's going to be a deal breaker for me.
These deals (or at least the Mass Effect/KOTOR ones) work out majorly in the publishers favor. Basically Microsoft gives a massive cheque to EA for exclusivity, then in addition to that EA gets the revenue for the exclusive release, then after a certain amount of time EA can can release the game on other platforms (Origin, possibly PS4) and get that revenue as well.
It seems like a easy way to cash out on a small brand.
High five.
I'll bet you my 360 library (including Outrun) that I won't get anywhere near that anti-consumer tripe.
well, lets see how to control it before we get excited.
Lol, this sound embarrassingly premature.

Gamers are saying the game they like is on the wrong console? So it's not about the games?

Mirror's Edge was one of the best games of the generation, a worthy sequel would be a system seller for me.
I assume the same will go for the PS4 then too.
Lol at you thinking that I will.

Sony fanboys can get so salty.
I'm happy this game is coming out as I plan to buy every console, though probably none at launch.

It's about certain policies Microsoft tries to enforce. These are
-always online
-used games limitations
-mandatory connected kinect
Well when you put it worded like that, how can I possibly not jump on the hate train?
Yeah, it's not about the games when this shit gets in the way.

C'mon, man. Certain posters never had any interest in any XBOX product. We all know who they are.

Very excited for the possibility of Mirrors Edge 2, loved the first one and im not bothered about it possibly being XBO exclusive. Im in
They seem to be pushing "controller x Kinect" angle pretty hard so i don't see it being Kinect centric if it's exclusive. Never got to play the original beyond the demo, what little i did play was pretty fun but i heard the game kinda fell apart in the latter half.
Right up there with that Steel Battalion game.
I did, regardless of whatever Hix might decide to pathetically dig up from my posting history. It was about the games until MS made it about my rights as a consumer.
you will if the best exclusives are there.

And I think it will probably be not Kinect centric... what now?

Fantastic exclusive if true, but the Kinect only thing is scary. Hard to imagine anyway that Kinect improves the experience at all, even as used in addition with the controller.
With mandatory Kinect? Not bloody likely.
"Best" is subjective; I have no interest in EA/Activision/Ubisoft games.

If true I may have to get an xbone despite leaning towards getting just a ps4

No, not really. And the system will never get such a monopoly, considering XBOX is negligible in Japan.

I doubt any established franchises will become Kinect-centric. This is just a narrative pushed by people invested in trashing anything XBOX related.
Kinect games are Kinect games. I doubt they'll make Gears of War 4 Kinect-centric. If Mirror's Edge 2 is X1 exclusive, it wouldn't surprise me if it's controller based but also have Kinect functionality. And with the obviously very-much-improved Kinect 2.0 it could actually be fun if done right.
