Ayepecks Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Last time I checked, I could still play Bioshock on my PC. Same with Gears of War, and a few other 360 "exclusives". So I say they suck if they actually suck. The same won't be said for FF13, MGS4, Haze, and a few others Sony exclusives. That's an opinion. I've never liked a Final Fantasy or Metal Gear Solid game yet, so I think some people will think they "suck," just like some people think Halo "sucks." So, let me ask: do Bioshock and Gears of War suck on the PC? Because they got good reviews on both platforms they were released on. It's kind of funny that you'd get mad at him for saying a game stinks because it's only on the PC when you're implying the same thing. I think you'll be hard pressed to find many people say that those two suck, just as I think you'll be hard-pressed to find many people say Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid suck -- although, when it comes down to it, it's an opinion ;) Anyways, back on topic... http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/03/15/ru...-ps3-exclusive/ 360 Fanboy seems to be skeptical of it being exclusive for good.

ahhell Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 http://hazegame.uk.ubi.com/screenshots.phpYeah, looks crap :rolleyes: As for not selling well, how was the trip into the future? Personally, I can't tell how good a game will be by a bunch of crappy screenshots. It must be amazing to be you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I own and enjoy both of them. I'm also looking forward to Mass Effect, Alan Wake, and others. He said PS3 fans would say they suck when they're "exclusive" to 360. I merely pointed out that this Sony "fanboy" can play both of those on PC, so he loses that argument. MGS4, FF, and Haze can't be played on PC, suck or not. (which is what I meant by "the same can not be said for...."). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenser.d Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Actually, I keep hearing Halo sucks from 360 fanboys who are completely disappointed with the effort put into the game after seeing other shooters like CoD4. Funny thing about that is, even though CoD4's been beating Halo 3 on the Live charts, the amount of players playing Halo 3 hasn't actually decreased. People just like to hate on it because it's popular. Haze never looked that impressive to me. I had assumed it was a timed exclusive or some such, but never really considered getting it if it came to the 360. But then again, I never really considered getting Bioshock at all until about a week before it came out when I got to play the demo :p -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnzoFX Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I think CoD4 for the 360, is more of like a FPS on a PC, i.e. superior to console fps', thus CoD4 is beating out Halo3. hehe I've always thought Halo was no significance, though I guess it was the best fps the consoles had, which wasn't saying much considering what there was on the pc side of things. See what I'm saying whilst I play devil's advocate...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiver Veteran Posted March 16, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 16, 2008 In a way i kind of agree that i hope this game fails... not because of the concept of Exclusive titles. You see alot of people get really obsessive when saying that their console of choice is the better, but imo the only way to tell these types of things is to have all games across all platforms. Please don't think im saying this because my xbox is not getting a game i was kinda looking forward too, i would much prefer you guys could get the xbox exclusives too. If i had the choice to port Halo, Gears and any other that i cant really think of just so i could have access to games like MGS then i would happily do that. I can deal with timed exclusives but full... i hate :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaf Spacker Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I usually never care about what's exclusive and what's not, because the more people that are able to play a great game, the better.But out of vengeance, I hope this game kicks ass and never makes its way into the 360 :devil: Wow you all jumped on PiracyX for saying that he hopes Haze is a bad game so that it doesn't sell that well but it's ok for a PS3 fan to say the above? Talk about double standards. And for the record I've never heard of Haze, what is meant to be so good about it? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can deal with timed exclusives but full... i hate :( Sometimes it's just not possible to port fully exclusive games without compromise. I don't care what wall of comments I'll get, some games just take advantage of the hardware on the platform they're optimized for and to port them would mean compromise. If you start out with the mindset of making a game for one platform, you aren't going to care about making the game in such a way it will be easy to port - You'll fire right into the deep end and try to squeeze the best you can out the platform you're working on. You'll abide to the limitations of the one platform, the one you're working on. That works both ways before the "techie" compairers come out to play. Not saying Haze fits into the above, because I JUST WOULDN'T KNOW, I didn't develop the game - However im tackling you're mindset you see to have towards any exclusive game.

PL_ Veteran Posted March 16, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'd rather have Timesplitters anyway. QFT. Even thought I'm not looking forward to Timesplitters that much, there's this kid at my school that always throws up Timesplitters 4 as being one of the best reasons to buy a PS3. I like Timesplitters and all, but it's just irritating to hear him go on about how PS3 is the only console that can handle TS4 :sleep: Haze looks alright. IMO it's not a reason to get a PS3.

Mikee99 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Why do people even take news like this seriously anymore? It has been said many times this generation that Game X will be exclusive to Platform Y, and then it turns out that it gets ported. It's happened with Assassins Creed, DMC 4, UT3, and Gears of War just to name a few. At this point, it's just a rumor and nothing more. Game publishers usually make timed exclusive agreements with a company and once that expires, they usually port it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game publishers usually make timed exclusive agreements with a company and once that expires, they usually port it. Being skeptical is fair enough, but when you have Ubisoft reps saying it's not timed exclusive, but fully exclusive and that's final, what more do you really want? - Apart from a signed official statement. It's like when Hideo said MGS4 needed a DL BR, people went nuts saying Hideo was lying. You're going to get a bit of flak when you go up against the people connected to/involved in the development of the game... As I mean, how can you seriously know better than them? Or when top exclusives are repeatedly denied for multiplatform by the DEVELOPERS themselves, yet sites and individuals still run around posting news topics saying "game x" will come to "console y". I think when you get a direct response from someone representing the company it should be 80/90% believed and 20/10% rumour. A small percentage incase things do change, but you can't really say we should just "dismiss" news like this. If it was a small independent website saying "my contact" said the game was exclusive, it's more worthwhile of the rumour/not take seriously tag, but not when it comes from Ubisoft themselves.

Uh, what? A port is any game that's been made native for one platform and then has been ported over to another. A PC game can be as much of a port as any other platform's games if it's been developed on another platform first. It has nothing to do with opinion.

What you're referring to is exclusivity, you're saying that if it's an exclusive to one console, it doesn't matter if it comes to the PC, it's still an exclusive (Like Bioshock, Mass Effect and Gears of War).
