Could Medal of Honor be a PS3 Exclusive?

[Pennywise]

No.

[Chaostar]

Why not?

edit: MS do it all the time, it's about time Sony fought back, even though I don't really agree with that way of doing business.

[Nitrowolf2]

times Exclusive
but i don't think that's the announcement that sony

Def not exclusive, i don't see EA revealing a game for both console and then dropping support for the other one
and god i hope this isn't what sony is saying as big as GTA SA timed exclusive.

[Hellsvacancy]

Your probably right

Itll probably b a timed exclusive 4 a month or so, or maybe if theres a beta itll b exclusive 2 the PS3, like EA did wid Bad Company 2

[Pennywise]

I should of elaborated:

We are talking about EA. They make their games on any device that will play it. (I know about ME, but that started before EA and I bet we still hear about a PS3 version @ E3)

[Smkt]

why would EA do that? it is probably going to sell more on the 360...

[evrfighter]

especially considering I've already pre-ordered on their web store for the pc lol.

[XxZxX]

penny is right.. IT'S EA...!!! the vigorous multi-platform supporter

[Persistantthug]

But as a PS3 fan, seeing how MS has continually stuck it to PS3 this gen...I can't say I would be too angry about it if it did happen.

This would be a surprise though..but maybe not, if you think about the roots of the original (PS1).

[BYE]

@1.7

Mass Effect 2 says hi.

[siyrobbo]

Definitely won't happen, EA are going after COD's crown with this game, it wouldnt make any sense to make it exclusive to any platform

[mastiffchild]

Don't forget EA and Valve with L4D not going near a Sony platform-there are some EA published games that don't go multi platform but if they own the IP, as with MoH, I cannot see anything BUT a fully multiplat day and date simultaneously released game.

Sony COULD throw a bazillion bucks at it but with Resistance and KZ to already do as they like with(largely) why would they shell out for another exclusive FPS? A bit of timed exclusivity might be possible after seeing MW2's maps go to 360 first but I just don't think it's financially viable for Sony to throw money away on a couple of weeks "me" time. EA know that FPS games perform marginally better on the 360 to start with so, if anything, exclusivity of any sort would probably cost Sony even more than it would MS, imo, so, again, just why would they be interested? Them OR EA??

Not a chance in all hell, heaven or any realm in between or even other dimensions. This isn't going to happen-inter-dimensional cert.

[gintoki777]

agree with 1st comment lol

heres my opinion though sony shouldnt steal crap cuz then it shows who the real copycats are

[Chubear]

April 1st is just a horrible time for gaming news.

Why are we even contemplating this when we know it's virtually impossible ...it is EA, you know who they are.

[Persistantthug]

That's Microsoft paying/incentivising Valve.

Obviously we all know that EA was the one who brought THE ORANGE BOX to the PS3....great game, $20...I bought it a year ago when I purchased my PS3 at Fry's for $400.

In fact, Valve has gone on record and said/implied that EA was chomping at the bit to release L4D 1 and 2 on the PS3, but VALVE refused and cited the bad ported ORANGE BOX, which we all know was made in 2007, and by the way, was patche-fixed and runs great today.

Valve makes feeble excuses and I don't know why because they really don't need to. They should just say nothing or just say we are under exclusive agreements with MS's XBOX 360, because that would be more the truth.

[XxZxX]

Ceekay, So what if you can name 1, i can name like a 100 multi-platform title.

[otherZinc]

Ghost Recon is releasing this winter!

[Solans Scott]

These days, anything and everything is a possibility.

[Cajun Chicken]

I can assure you, that's NOT the level of GTA San Andreas.

[xc7x]

shooters are the top games nowadays,GTA's aren't on the tip top selling list anymore,it's the COD's,BF's and the like. MOH has the same reputation as COD and now that the series is going "modern",it could be the next CODMW1/2 selling type of game.

[ReservoirDog316]

"GTA's aren't on the tip top selling list anymore"

I know most of you guys hate GTA now and all but the last full GTA released is only beaten in sales by what, mw2? Can't think of anything else.

GTA is big and I doubt MoH is quite as big as that.

Off topic,
Getting Mass Effect 2 in the mail today! Thanks EA Store!

edit: Also, I didn't press disagree.

[ape007]

is alive and well, GTA IV sold millions, the moh series has lost their magic touch since moh frontline for ps2(my god what a game) and allied assault for pc (developed by IW before joining activision)

the MOH series have a lot to prove and "EA LA" studio is not that of a developer(moh rising sun goldeneye 2) their games were very average lately

but something deep in my heart tells me that this next gen MOH is going be a stone cold stunner...

[Johnny Rotten]

This game would only be hurting itself if it went exclusive, even timed for that matter.

[Captain Tuttle]

First comment gets it right.

[tdrules]

haha will it balls go exclusive.

[Flinty]

It's EA! They would be shooting themselves in the foot if they did an exclusive title. They don't need to help ship more PS3s or 360's.

Limiting your market is the last thing you want to do.

[Dtoxz]

only because EA would lose money on something like that. The xbox360 has such an install base and not to mention the 360 is an FPS monster. It has so many FPS that you would think it's almost designed for FPS' lol.

I hate to say it because I LOOOOVVVEEE my ps3, but it would be better multiplat.

Lets just hope that ps3 is lead platform

[Sigh]

is the lead platform for this game.

[TheColbertinator]

Impossible.EA cannot ignore returning MoH to glory without the strong userbase of the 360.The only exception to the new MoH is a possible exclusive PS3 edition like Dante's Inferno but apart from that its highly doubtful.

[avengers1978]

No way they would miss out on selling the game to 360 users. EA usually keeps there games multiplat, and I don't see much difference here except the fact it will probably run better on the PS3 since that is the console they are using for the lead design.
It's to bad that the 360 is holding developers back.

[AssassinHD]

Definitely not.

Edit: To the person who disagrees:

Would you care to share your thoughts? It is EA people. They are not going to make a shooter of all things exclusive to the PS3. Would they go the Dante's Inferno route and release a "Tier One Edition" for the PS3? Possibly. Would they make it exclusive, or even timed exclusive? Not a chance.

[ktchong]

Given that the Xbox 360 version (NOT the PS3 version) of Modern Warfare 2 is the best selling game of 2009. Pretty much all multi-plat FPS have sold better on Xbox 360.

The FPS customer base is on the Xbox 360 side, just like the JRPG customer base is on the PS3 side. Medal of Honor would lose out a HUGE chunk of sales if it is PS3 exclusive.

It won't even be a timed exclusive.

And it's EA. At least with BioWare you can argue that it has full independence and control over its projects. Medal of Honor and whatever studio that makes it do not.

[kingme71]

Never will happen.

[Sigh]

But maybe ads of it or something could be exclusive to PS3 to rival MW2 and their 360 ads, but I just don't see this game to be timed exclusive to one platform, it's freaking EA.

[Walrus]

While I totally agree that there is no way in hell that it will be exclusive (if for no other reason than Xbox games sell better), it would be frickin' hilarious if it did, and all of you guys had to eat your words.

[clintos59]

I just cant see why would EA lose out on potential sales on other platforms. I'll never say never but in a MORE REALISTIC manner it just doesnt seem like something would do.

If this were MS then it would sound more REALISTIC only because MS doesnt have many first party studios & is why we see them buying alot of 3rd party exclusive dlc, & exclusive 3rd party titles. Even if this game does end up exclusive, that would be a shocker in my book since it doesnt seem like something EA nor Sony would do.

[Dtoxz]

I agree. Look at all the ps3 exclusives vs multiplats. They are 10 times better because they utilize the power of the system so well. Where on a multiplatform game you have to take into consideration the specs of each console.

It sucks really....

[mistajeff]

*picture of piccard face-palming*

[bRAAAaaains]

So what? Do people really think PS3 fans would go uppity on rumors like this and go "OMFG Medal of Honor will utilize teh cell! Iz gonna be the bestest FPS everrr!".

Cmon now!

[SmokeCheebah]

Not likely. http://www.ea.com/games/med... Already taking pre-orders.
