Nexon, the Asian online gaming giant, is known for free-to-play online games like MapleStory, KartRider, and Dungeon Fighter Online. Those are popular titles, but they haven’t made Nexon into a household name in the West. To accomplish that, the pioneer of free-to-play titles has turned to well-know Western game developers.

During a recent Game Rant interview, Gears of War creator CliffyB comments on Xbox-exclusive games possibly adopting multiplatform models.
Yea, I remember seeing him and his Lamborghini at one point in history. Lol, I think that kind of gives it away.
Bunch of clowns down voting without any explanation of how exactly he is getting money off Gears. You think Notch still gets Minecraft money too?
Sometimes I don't get what he says half the times. He could of put gears on the playstation from the start but he's fanboyness for xbox got in the way
I imagine this is exactly how fanboys feel how this went down. Microsoft paid for all the development and took all the risk off Epic games for a new IP.
It has nothing to do with anyone being a fanboy. Well other than yourself who oversimplified this entire franchises history.
I agree Notellin, however, once he was in bed with MS he did become pretty 'anti Sony' ans was such a shill for MS.
I thought it was said cliffs shopped it around hence rumors of a ps3 demo being out there. If ms took on all the cost, why is there a ps3 demo?
Not true at all.
Microsoft had to buy the ip because the contract ran out on keeping it exclusive.
Microsoft took no risk, they just marketed the game and payed for a contract.
Not hard to find out.
No, Epic signed a development and publishing contract with Xbox for Gears of War. After Judgement Microsoft still had the Gears of War publishing rights. Epic then sold the Gears of War IP to Microsoft in 2014. Cliffy B never owned Gears of War, he was just a lead designer of the series.
Ya I don't know what people are saying about CliffyB making money of Gears sales nowadays. He was never the owner and Epic no longer owns it either.
“He could of put gears on the playstation from the start but he's fanboyness for xbox got in the way”
It has nothing to do with fondness for the Xbox platform. Microsoft paid for exclusivity.
Well when you look at the sales perspective of ps5. It has a big audience selling over a 2 to 1 ratio. It makes money sense.
Fanboy era was at its prime during the ps3-360 generation. It’s not as toxic as it once was, thankfully. People grow out of it eventually. I have my preference just as the next person. That being said it’s coming to be more about expanding availability instead of standing behind a brand. Much more Microsoft than Sony. But Sony will probably move up its time of PC release for increase revenue.
We will see, it’s just speculation.
CliffyB is like David Jaffe at this point, always quick with the opinions but haven’t made a successful game in over a decade at this point. Do any of us really care what they think about anything? I certainly don’t.
Mike Nelson writes: "We’re thrilled to announce the next Xbox Partner Preview will air Wednesday, March 6, at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT, featuring a mix of new and upcoming games."
Xbox Partner Preview.
Xbox games that will be released on partner consoles including the Nintendo Switch and the PlayStation 5.
That should be pretty obvious, but then again there are some people who end up believing these are exclusive.
I normally just watch these so that I can add anything that interests me to my Steam wishlist.
Watch out for The First Berserker: Khazan. It looks really cool. It was first shown in TGA 2023.

Pretty cool as well that we'll get know more about Capcom's new IP Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.

Seeing how it's a partner preview which I means 3rd party. It's safe to assume all be on PS.
The 3 games listed are multiplats.
I actually looked up the Tales of Kanzera:Zau a month or so ago because I thought it could be an actual Tales of game but I was very disappointed to find out it is an indie game being published by EA and not an actual Tales of game. Gameplay looks ok but I don’t like the art style. It looks a lot like the recent Prince of Persia game.
I think we're overdue for a new Tales game, I know Tales of Arise isn't that old, but it feels like it's been forever.
