edit: In this thread I'm asking for evidence that it's happening, because I haven't seen any. I've seen a lot of this popping up in threads and stuff like it's a foregone conclusion, but for the life of me I can't figure out if we have solid, credible inside info on this game being an exclusive Xbone title like we do about other ones (such as an exclusive EA game to Xbone, or Dead Rising 3).

As far as I can tell, here's all we know:

-Cheapy D mentioned on his podcast third party exclusives to the Xbone, and mentioned, "for example, a game like Fallout 4."
-Jeff Gerstmann mentioned on his Tumblr (and I believe elsewhere) that he's heard some major exclusives being scored by Sony and MS, and mentioned in a theoretical scenario that we could have Fallout 4 exclusive to MS and other titles exclusive to Sony.
-Patrick Klepek also mentioned this on the Bombcast, though was mostly restating what Jeff had said a month or so ago.
-Bethesda has done exclusive timed DLC in the past, so it's certain to continue with the Xbone, but nothing apart from that points to an exclusive title (that I'm aware of.)

And that's about it. I can update the OP with more info but does anyone know of any more evidence or journalists candidly mentioning this as fact?

 

[KKRT00]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Bethesda wont lose money just because Microsoft asks nice.

 

[Phire Phox]

Hell no

 

[Addnan]

No way. Fallout is not big enough to make money by going exclusive.

I hope, I need my PC mods.

 

[Courage]

chubigans, are you a Xbone exclusive?

 

[NerdEyeBlind]

Hell no

HELL YESSSSSSSSS

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I hope not.

 

[Sendou]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Bethesda wont lose money just because Microsoft asks nice.

That's how you think exclusives come to exist? By asking nice?

 

[Kyoufu]

I hope not, but with the power of Microsoft's War Chest it's possible.

 

[Forkball]

Bethesda wouldn't want to throw away the money from the PC market and the obssessive mod scene. On consoles? They would have to moneyhat pretty hard to do it.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

It'd be a helluva thing wouldn't it?

 

[Trogdor1123]

I sure hop enot, I would really like to get the game but I really dont plan on getting a Xbone

 

[Drazgul]

If by exclusive they mean "not getting released on PS4", then I don't care. PC is the platform to play Bethesda's games on.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Would definitely take the winds outta PS4's sales. I'd buy it on PC for the endless mods though.

 

[Nebula]

Bethesda will lose me as a customer if they do this. They make fantastic games which everyone should be able to enjoy.

 

[Vic20]

I hope Bethesda knows that its roots are PC and that this would be a bad idea, then I remember all of Skyrim's temp exclusive DLC...and I weep.

 

[need4speed]

Most probably it will get 30 days exclusive DLC, just like F3 and New Vegas.

 

[IonicSnake]

I believe it will be as exclusive as Destiny.

 

[MYeager]

Cheapy D was using it as an example, and not as a confirmation. Journalist are currently in the dark along with the community about what may or may not be exclusive to the Xbox One.

 

[mkotechno]

Stop this shit of XBO exclusives, this is not going to happen.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

I doubt it would be exclusive to either console. Bethesda makes big money selling the series on PC and Sony/Microsofts consoles.

...Not to say Microsoft doesn't have the funds to money hat it, but I don't expect either to gain exclusivity of any major mutltiplatform franchises from this gen.

 

[Kayhan]

That would make no sense at all.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Id like to say no, but wasn't skyrim shown on xbox 360 first?

timed exclusive maybe..but im not gonna have to buy a Xbone for one game...

 

[KKRT00]

That's how you think exclusives come to exist? By asking nice?

Yep, paying 40-100m$ for Xbone exclusive is asking Bethesda nicely. Why? Because game is making 10 times more as multiplatform.

 

[statham]

where ever it lands I'll buy it.

 

[dragonbane]

Exclusive DLC at best. No way completely exclusive. If MS really puts a lot of money on the table maybe console exclusive. A PC port will happen no matter what I think.

 

[Audioboxer]

Would probably end up being timed anyway with the PS4 GOTY edition falling a year or two later out of "nowhere".

 

[hal9001]

Maybe timed exclusive?

 

[KAL2006]

Would not care as it will likely just be timed exclusive. Will wait for the superior PS4 or PC version.

 

[Trick_GSF]

Nah, they'll be loads of timed DLC bullshit though.

 

[Avallon]

chubigans, are you a Xbone exclusive?

 

[boinx]

I doubt it

 

[The Grim Heaper]

chubigans, all these Xbox One threads from you... are you hinting that Cook, Serve, Delicious will come to consoles but only on Xbox One?!

 

[hooijdonk17]

If anything last gen proved moneyhatting big 3rd party exclusives is too expensive. They may as well buy the developer/IP or just go for a timed exclusive..

 

[Hanmik]

at least the title didn´t say "Why I´m 99% sure Fallout 4 will be an Xbone exclusive/kinect game"... pheeewwwww

 

[Backfoggen]

Yes.

 

[bro1]

Thank God for PC gaming

Well, I think Bethesda held a pr event parallel with the Xbox One announcement (i mean on the same day), so...

 

[Coldnoodle]

It would be funny if it was.

 

[legacyzero]

As long as a PC version comes, all is right with the world.

 

[need4speed]

Misleading title is misleading.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Everything will be Xbox One exclusive.

 

[lightlamp4]

Quoting myself from another thread.

It isn't that hard to imagine. Look at how well Skyrim turned out on the PS3. I don't think Bethesda want to make another Playstation game lol. Not to mention Microsoft made a deal to make the DLC come first to the 360

 

[Dead Prince]

just exclusive content

 

[GeoramA]

They'll pay to keep the DLC off PS4 for a year. Not the full game.

 

[eznark]

Fallout not on PC? lol

 

[Courage]

Quoting myself from another thread.

The PS4 is a whole different story compared to the PS3.

 

[chubigans]

chubigans, are you a Xbone exclusive?

Money can't buy my exclusiveness, ahhh yeah.

 

[Red Blaster]

the newer fallout games are lulz on anything but pc since mods are required to unfuck everything

 

[scar tissue]

Maybe PC/Xbone. Xbone only, no.
