Was it ever announced as exclusive to Sony?

yewles14071d ago

Blizzard made a big stink about this being only possible through a "strategic" partnership with Sony at the PlayStation meeting last month. If it turns out to be not the case, then everyone should be called out for it, even Sony...

OmegaSlayer4071d ago

never read it was a Sony exclusive.
maybe it could be on PS3 but both next gen hardware.
and I don't see Activision turning its back on Microsoft.
I also hope there won't be 3rd party exclusives or content exclusives next gen.

With absolutely no information to the contrary certain people are still completely focused on attempting to prove Sony did not score a coup. I am not saying they did merely the latrest round of these "It might/will come to the 360/720" articles reeks of desperation and fear.

Am I supposed to believe these write ups are borne of intellectual honesty and the desire to provide solid reporting to the game community? No.

badz1494071d ago

it sill come out on the 720 too just like Watchdog and the other 3rd party games showcased dusring the PS4 event! it's a no brainer

MikeMyers4071d ago

How can something that is also on the PC considered to be 'exclusive'?

Studio-YaMi4071d ago (Edited 4071d ago )

Blizzard partnership with Sony doesn't necessary mean exclusives,could mean exclusive content or timed exclusives .. it can even mean that future Blizzard project or current ones "starcraft 2" could come to a playstation console or(if they want to) they can make an exclusive game for the PS consoles from now on,although I think that won't happen.

Besides,they never said Diablo III is gonna be exclusive to PS3/PS4 on consoles.

DragonKnight4071d ago

Why would Sony be called out for it when they never said anything about Diablo 3 being an exclusive? Blizzard handled that entire segment, not Sony.

No and in a inteview with geoff after the PS4 announcement they pretty much made clear that diablo 3 would come to other consoles. This makes it very strange that blizzard said all those things at the Playstation press conference. That guy was either a complete asshole by giving people the wrong impression or their is something going on between the two companies that has not been announced yet.

HammadTheBeast4071d ago

Maybe it was a Playstation conference and it would've seemed weird saying it was also coming to Xbox and announcing that there.

Daver4071d ago

No one should care anyway, the game sucks on PC and it will on any other platforms.

LessThan2Tflops4071d ago

Yep I never thought it was exclusive , they never said it was .

AngelicIceDiamond4071d ago

No, nor Sony and Blizzard said it was an exclusive.

cyberninja4071d ago

Some people still don't know what exclusive means, sigh.....

IIC0mPLeXII4071d ago

Yeah it will be in 360, on like 15 discs, ill stick to the Sony platform for this one.

Jaqen_Hghar4071d ago

a man will not be buying this game, but free online would make a man get it for PS3 if he was.

kostchtchie_4071d ago (Edited 4071d ago )

this will come to Xbox, no auction house or connection to B.net, just like ps4, that is reason they have offline mode, and i don't remember Chris Metzen saying it was exclusive, all he did was make some light hearted joke about them and blizzard taking over the world to break the ice coming on stage

Another L for Xbox, when are they going to have good news?

MrDead5d ago

I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.

Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.

peppeaccardo5d ago

Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!

rlow14d ago

Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.

Not enough drain them for more, fuck Blizzard POS company.

An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events

Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."

Diablo 4 storefront being a cash grabbing shitshow does unironically attest to that, kudos.

kythlyn26d ago

Microsoft needs to be guiding Blizzard to be what it USED to be, not allowing it to continue to be the greedy bastardization of itself that it has become.

XiNatsuDragnel27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Okay i will be interested if they become old Blizzard but might as well be dead.

Rynxie27d ago

They will never be old blizzard. Most of all the OG's left from developers to those on the top (even some decision making folks left).

Vits27d ago

Shame most of the people that made Blizzard what they were, have already left a while ago.

ApocalypseShadow27d ago

I was about to say this. How can they be blizzard when they're no longer blizzard from yesteryear?

blacktiger27d ago

Rare was the thing I lost heart

victorMaje27d ago

Exactly. Blizzard hasn’t been Blizzard for a long time.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Knightofelemia27d ago

Blizzard is not the same Blizzard like it use to be.

PassNextquestion27d ago

Were you expecting Microsoft to hire everyone that had left Blizzard long before they purchased the company...

Microsoft has let the Blizzard company they purchased continue to be the Blizzard company they purchased.

thesoftware73027d ago

Wow, PassNextquestion,

You fully understand what that saying means, unlike some people on here who just have to say negative garbage talk.

When someone says, "Just let *blank* be *blank*, "they are just letting them operate how they operate.

It's pretty much how Sony "let Bungie be Bungie."

This comment section is full of outright haters, but you have to "let N4G be N4G"

GamerRN26d ago

This site leans so heavily in one direction...

BISHOP-BRASIL26d ago

I don't think people commenting are necessarily blaming MS for anything here, this is just collective longing for what Blizzard/Vivendi was before Activision's meddling.
