Edit: MS owns QB IP so no PS4, but not SO

Quantum Break seems likely to go to PC like Alan Wake

Insomniac wants to own Sunset Overdrive IP maybe so they can port it?

Anyone know more about the details of their contract with MS?

QB has more chance of going to the moon before it goes to PS4.

I dunno. But I hope they don't go multiplat. Xbox One needs good exclusives. It's almost not worth getting if it doesn't have true, non-timed exclusives.

Exclusives are the main thing that differentiates consoles nowadays. Without exclusives, the Xbox One is just a slightly less powerful PS4.

No chance with QB.

Can't see SO going to PS4. I'd say if the game isn't a big success, MS probably won't go chasing a sequel so we could see that being a multiplat.

Supposedly because Insomniac wanted to keep rights to the IP

I'd say fat chance on PS4, though I could possibly see either going to PC in no time.

Like almost guaranteed with QB since Remedy stated that PC is in their blood. Sunset might go to PC too if it flop like DR3 and Ryse.

I can see QB going to the PC, but it will probably be a while, a 2 year wait maybe. I cant see sunset going to the PS4 or PC, if the game is successful its more likely the game series will stay X1 exclusive.

QB might go PC but not PS4

SO may go PS4 further down the line. Thing is, now one will care about then. Hell, I dont even think many care about now

Not really no. Actually imho the Xbox has the weakest exclusives out of the three. Only QB caught my eye until now and even so its not a "OMG Mindblowing" kinda game like what I feel for Bloodborne only a "I would like to play it sometime" type of feel. Not that the PS4 is much better looking but Sonys 1st party already proved themselves. Cant say the same about MSs

Dead Rising 3 coming to PC is a indication of what other exclusives will do. I don't even recognize PC as a SW contender. Sure I play some PC games and I love them.

SO and QB most likely will come to PC too. Nothing else.

Same with that thread of hope cows have pinned on Tomb Raider. It will only come to PC and never be on the PS4.

Cry your rivers now.

QB IP is owned by MS, so even a pc port is higly unlikely.

SO IP is owned by Insomniac but that's for future projects. A pc version might happen. My problem is that Insomniac isn't pc oriented, so if the game is sucessfull, they might not feel like porting it.

Have to wait and see.

edit: Also, remember, Remedy had to beg MS to allow a PC port for Alan Wake, and they own the IP. If QB's sucessfull aswell, don't see MS letting a big budget AAA game leave the xbone.

The question is, what about Scalebound? Boy, i love Platinum. I hope there's a chance for a pc version.

PC , yes . PS4 , no . Sunset Overdrive IP is owned by devs themselves so that will appear on PC after few months for sure (Same goes for Tomb Raider) . On other hand M$ owns rights to Quantum Break but Remedy haven't said "No" to PC release . So , it may end up on PC at some point just like few other M$ owned IPs (Fable comes to mind) .

However , PS4 release is not going to happen . Sunset Overdrive , may be after a long time of PC release (very small possibility) . Quantum Break , hell no . Can't say anything about Tomb Raider at this point but PC version is already in the works and mantle support for the game is being listed .

@deadline-zero0: yep, I think a lot of people instinctively assume QB will go to PC just because of what happened to Alan Wake. Microsoft owning the IP makes for a big, big difference though, especially since they're currently losing to Sony and need whatever they can to promote the Xbox One. Microsoft knows that they need big name exclusive franchises that can't be played on other systems, so I'm not holding my breath that it's coming to PC at all personally. Microsoft has little to gain (increased sales for one video game) but a lot to lose (the perception that the One has no exclusive games).

With that said, I do think Sunset Overdrive could go multiplatform. The developers haven't really provided a convincing explanation for why it needs to be One exclusive, and since they own the IP, the whole thing smells of a timed exclusive deal. I'd expect it to go to PS4 though, not PC.
