Well these are uniquely negotiated deals so there can be anything in them. I mean, I still can’t believe they sold the rights to Alan Wake back to Remedy. … Lost Planet, Ryse, Bioshock etc, but they seem to have moved away from that now instead preferring to purchase studios and have ownership of the IP itself. Why couldn’t Sony of said to MLB, get someone else to do the xbox version. There may even be a deal over it not going to Gamepass Apparently.Īnother weird one was how did Sony go from having MLB the show as an exclusive to not only losing the exclusivity, but having to have their own studio also develop the game for Xbox. I was talking to someone who said that Microsoft is not allowed legally to have any additional content or performance benefits over the PS version of Deathloop. It would also be interesting to see what types of clauses are in the contracts. Alan Wake, Dead Space, Mass Effect, Lost Planet, Ryse, Bioshock etc, but they seem to have moved away from that now instead preferring to purchase studios and have ownership of the IP itself. I would assume there is also some sort of payment over that to cover game development costs up front.Īs well as timed exclusives, what is involved in a total exclusive game? In the 360 MS really hit it out of the park with third party exclusives. It appears that Sony will be going hard at third party exclusives, which has been seen by no Street Fighter for Xbox, no FF, no KOTOR etc, and Colin M stating that Sony has a lot more third party exclusives to announce.ĭoes anyone know what type of cost or deals are done to get a third party exclusive?Īpparently there is a payment that covers the loss of games sales during that period on the console that it doesn’t sell on, which is why MS has to pay alot more than Sony for the same game to be exclusive.
