![]() ![]() That should be sentence on page one of the design document. I mean surely, surely, the very first thing you would start with in any new game is a likeable character. ![]() I appreciate GC trying to ask Ubisoft why Prince Of Persia: The Last Crown has such a terrible main character but predictably we got no kind of answer. The only slight caveat is that Final Fantasy sells much more on PlayStation anyway, and the Xbox is irrelevant in Japan, so in that sense Square Enix aren’t losing out on as many sales as they would for a more typical release.Į-mail your comments to: rage never changes They usually never say for how much, except it was revealed that Rise Of The Tomb Raider (also a Square Enix game) cost Microsoft $100 million to be a timed exclusive for a year… so presumably Final Fantasy 16 would’ve cost Sony much more. GC: Exclusives are paid for, plain and simple. They have money, they have the marketing/fanbase, what could Sony offer? If they’d released on Xbox too – their sales would have been at least 3 million and 1! But I just don’t understand why such a big company, and well-established franchise, needs to isolate itself onto one console. I’m finding it hard to understand why a game as large as Final Fantasy agreed to an exclusivity deal with Sony? Then, to reinforce this, I read your article on the game hitting 3 million sales in a week (less than Final Fantasy 15).ĭo Sony give Square Enix a cash sum as payment? A marketing deal? Or is it shadier than that? Maybe it’s just because as an Xbox player it hurts that I can’t play it. These people really do think we were born yesterday. I can just imagine him asking his PA what games Activision Blizzard makes so he can pretend he likes those. I also find it hilarious that Satya Nadella pretends his two favourite games are Candy Crush and Call Of Duty. Although Microsoft’s attempts to pretend it doesn’t like exclusives and Sony is forcing it to do them or it can’t complete… strange that we’ve never heard that point of view at any time in the last 20 years? The obvious contempt this implies for their audience, as if we’d never find and if we do blind loyalty will see them through, is pretty gross. That’s not to say either are right to dos but the constant lying and getting found out is getting tedious. Xbox pays for secret exclusives to keep games off the PlayStation 5, just like Sony does? I am shocked to hear that two giant corporations act like giant corporations. Perhaps I’ll look into getting a gaming PC and just leave Sony and Microsoft to it. I suppose some people will switch to Xbox to play it but this whole business has left such a bad taste in my mouth the last thing I want to do is reward Xbox with my custom. I shouldn’t be surprised, I suppose, but now I have to face the fact that The Elder Scrolls 6 is never going to come to the console I own. ![]()
