Gaming Target has updated their monthly look at the battle of the console exclusives. The Xbox 360 continues to lead with 91 exclusives, with the Wii in second with 76 and the PS3 in last with 44. The list now includes publisher information, release dates and Metascores.
They have also spoken with Crossbeam Studios, the enigmatic developers of Wii-exclusives Orb and Thorn. The developer has stated for the record that both games are still on track but Thorn may appear on the Xbox 360 as well.
Charging for early access has started to become a regular practice in several AAA games, and the gaming community should not tolerate this.
Don’t uh… don’t pay for it then? 🤷♂️ It’s 3 days early, let people who can’t wait pony up to pay for early access. I’d hope people have more control over themselves if they don’t want to pay extra. I personally, do not see an issue with the option. If I’m hyped for a game and they give you early access, I’ll pay. If it’s something I can wait to play on “actual release” I won’t pay extra. It’s as simple as that.
Except your entirely mistaken if you think it's "early access"
Theyre just charging you extra to play it on release. So gullible.
"Theyre just charging you extra to play it on release. So gullible."
Not really.
In some cases, paying for early access will grant you access to play those games at the same time media outlets and reviewers are playing their copies.
Besides, it´s a single player game. It´s not like early access to MP competitive games like Battlefield which EA would grant a full week early access to those willing to pay; which gives a unfair advantage to those gamers and breaks the game´s balance.
are you playing it earlier than retail release?
If that’s the correct answer, how is it not early access?
It's not early access...it's playing on release...early access is when the game isn't finished and needs a little more time...you also get it months in advance.
Let's not get confused here..
Microsoft has been doing premium edition early access for awhile(Forza and Starfield recently) ...so why is it an issue now when Ubisoft does it?
It can't be the gamepass excuse as Ubisoft has day one subscriptions as well.
I´ve paid for Starfield´s Premium Edition to get early access to the game, plus Shattered Space expansion.
I don´t regret my decision and I mighty pay for it again to get early access to Fable and TESVI.
as long as people are paying for it, it will be a thing unfortunately.
the fear of missing out is ... huge. especially online.
I don’t think it’s about missing out. Think of it like a movie you’re hyped for. You can see it early if you pay extra or just wait until Friday when it officially releases.
It’s nothing more than that.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
The only reason I'm approving this is because a lot of other "list" of exclusives have come to light and this one seems to be at least realistic since it seems most of this, if not all, are confirmed.
The most accurate exclusives list out there.
Xbox 360 has the better RELEASED Exclusives but the PS3 has the better UNRELEASED Exclusives and the Wii well i don't think they should even really be compared its a different type of console then PS3 and 360. Thats my opinion for games that i like.
Edit: To the people that disagreed with me how can you disagree are you going to tell me what games i like lol? I swear sometimes people disagree just to disagree lol.
Xbox 360 Titles that are multiplatform...please remove:
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles (It has been announced for PS3 by Pete Hines)
- Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of World War II (PS3 title too)
- Eternal Sonata (PS3 too)
- Two Worlds (Coming to PS3, confirmed by Topware's CEO)
PS3 titles missing:
- 2 Days 2 Vegas ( Will be PS3 exclusive)
- Brave Arms
- Chain Limit
- Cipher Complex
- Fury
- Metro 2033
- Motorstorm 2 (I have confirmation from GDC from the developers if needed)
- Ninja Gaiden Sigma
- Redwood Falls
- Soul Calibur IV
As you can see their list is bias.
Plus the "released" of course shows Xbox 360 with more titles cause its been out a year longer.
Here we go, list wars are such a bore.
Yet lets see if we can get through this thread in an orderly fashion.
Only one game was enough to make me buy a PS3 and that was Heavenly Sword, if it was on the 360 thats where I would have gone, But on the bright side I can play a good amount of those 360 games on my PC and the rest on my Bro's 360.
Good time for gamers, good time for fan boys, good times all around.
Anyway I expect 200 posts by tomorrow don't let me down N4G :D
Wow and some one disagrees?, mind saying what u disagree to? heh heh at least u didnt take my last few bubbles by accident lol
@POG your right I dont think 2 days 2 Vegas is exclusive to anyone.
