Spawn Kill Community Voice #21 – Console Based Exclusive Content: Good or Bad?

As this gen of gaming continues, the trend of console exclusivity seems to be slowly fading in to the past. Key characters like Master Chief, Mario, and Nathan Drake will remain loyal to their respective consoles, but you’re seeing less and less console-exclusive games. Don’t forget the “exclusive” franchises that eventually break rank and end up multiplatform. Take Halo creators Bungie Studios for example. Since Halo 2, they’d been an Xbox 360 exclusive company, and yet now their recently inked partnership with Activision has them poised to appear on other consoles

Not good,not bad!!
It's EXCELLENT!!!

I actually would rather see something like this happen than the current practice of one console or the other getting the DLC while the others are left in the cold. As someone who owns all consoles, but who prefers one over the others, I hate having to decide if I want to get a game on a console I don't like as much because that one has the dlc versus getting it on my console of choice and having to miss out.

Would there be any point in having both an Xbox and a PS3 if there wasn't ANY exclusive content? Someone would have to cry uncle.

@Tigresa My issues isn't with having exclusive content, I just would like to see all consoles treated the same...but different. Separate but equal if you will.

I'm all for the 360 getting something that the PS3 doesn't, as long as the PS3 gets something comparable but different. Like I said in the article, there's money to be made if they offered console exclusive content for EACH console and not just for one. A perfect example on the smaller scale is pre-order bonuses. Depending on where you pre-order, you get different stuff. All the stuff is roughly the "same" value wise, but it's still store exclusive. Above all else, it's FAIR.

The point is we're not going to see Halo on PS3 or Mario on 360, and I don't think I'd want it that way. But why should the PS3 people get dlc for a multiplatform game and the PC and 360 people get left out or vice versa? I think offering everyone content that is unique to that platform makes more sense and keeps everyone happy.

theherp805318d ago

idk how i feel about having all this special stuff on every console but i can see how companies want to try to boost PS3 sales by extra content.

The perfect Christmas gift. YOU MUST NOT MISS IT!!!

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga9h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis0071h ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein7h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.

XBLA Classic 'A World of Keflings' Is Coming to Steam, and There's a Demo

"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.
