X06: MS gets Bioshock, Splinter Cell 5 exclusivity

GT is a unplayable game. The car always drift sideways off road. I mean its not for everyone. MGS and Final fantasy are although amazing.

admiral... try more llke... mmm haze, GT5, final fantasy and o yea the BEST METAL GEARS SOLID!!! now before somebody jumps to conclusion im not a fanboy!! i dont like when people talk sh.. about ones console... HYPOCRITES!!

NOOOO!!!!! DAMNIT!!!! 360 EXCLUSIVITY!!!!! I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO NOT HAVING TO BUY A 360, BUT, NOOOO!!!!!!! I FINALLY GOT MY PS3 JUST A WEEK AGO AND NOW ONE OF MY PERSONALLY MOST ANTICIPATED GAMES IS EXCLUSIVE TO 360!!!! I HOPE UBISOFT CHANGES THIS SOMEHOW....JUST SOMEHOW!!!

I was looking forward to playing SC:Conviction on the PS3, oh well back to my trusty XboX

Why cows keep saying that BioShock is comming to PS3? :|

i miss the old splinter cell..hopefully it wont be like double agent..i want this one to be more like chaos theory..and what happened to the co-op campaign?

I love the way microsoft supports its consoles by getting as many good games as it can. I'm sure sony does too. I mean they have Resistance and... uh... they have... uh... hm. Well at least you have Resistance.

Damn i love MS. Couldn't be happier. So long as they don't make the mistake of arrogance in the form of over pricing everything, like sony, they will take this gen and the next. (and i don't consider marketplace and quality online a part of overarrogance. )

I don't think the bearded man we see now is what drew us to the series before, it was the always masked Sam Fisher, not a loser who flashes his face all around, what happened to the STEALTH???!!!!!!

Well, I am a PC gamer so I guess this is good news. However, MS certainly seems to be buying the industry which I don't think is a terribly good thing for anyone.

Microsoft is the king of A-HOLES!!!!

ECXELENT MS HAS DONE GREAT WITH SPLINTER CELL I AM A BIG FAN OF THIS SERIES ANOTHER REASON WHY NOT TO BUY A PS3, EAT SH"·$!$"%"$ SONY.

Yes i will buy a PS3 and a Pc, then i can play all the good games:-)))) And its good that all games on xbox are coming too PS3:-)

i've been a huge splinter cell fan the the series seems to have climaxed with chaos theory. double agent despite the effort feels like a more disjointed game than the predessesor, even with some exceptional level design.

cell-5,conviction!!!!I love that game!!!

Big win for MS$ and the Xbox 360 Viva la Achievements!

this means one thing, if the game is indeed exclusive then it will look better, the porting process really effects the quality of visuals look at brothers in arms. ew.

sweet!!!!! this is going to be awesome.... whats bioshock?

I don't have a X360 and my PC is absolutley rubbish UBISOFT HAS BETRAYED US!!! ALL OF US!!! IF IT DOESNT COME OUT ON ANY OTHER CONSOLES IM GOING UP THERE AND SHOVING A **** XBOX 360 UP THEIR **** **** AND THEN SPLATER THEM WITH A **** CHAIN GUN!!! THOSE ****

Awesome!! This game belongs on the 360. After reading that the 360's GPU is twice what the RSX is, this is great news. I wouldnt buy neither of the two games for any other system anyway. I think Microsoft is going to do this with many other games as well and its about time. This time around, Microsoft is the king of exclusives. Yah!!!

I've enjoyed all the Splinter Cell games on original xbox, bought Double Agent and to be honest i'm not that impressed. Chronic slowdown when aiming the rifle and the swimming is crap. On the whole it feels dull and I dont like daylight levels! Splinter Cell should be all about the shadows! Hope they sort it out for the new one, not sure i'll bother finishing D.A. and I finished all the other games in the series, Chaos Theory being my personal favorite. R6 VEGAS is much more graphically intensive and yet has none of the problem.

Shame the new Splinter Cell is going to be exclusive, I don't really want to have to get an Xbox 360 to play it, and I don't enjoy these kinds of games on my PC. I really hope they change their mind about Splinter Cell. I agree with Syphon to some extent, because the Xbox versions tend to have mroe contect - more missions namely. Double Agent was awesome on PS2 but the annoying thing was that there weren't any of the missions that I was looking forward to on it, apparently (correct me if i'm wrong) Xbox had like 14 missions? While the PS2 had a measly 9!

I am glad I have a 360, and I am not saying this because I am xbox biased, Tom Clancy games are always better on xbox

i don't know how Sam is going to get out of this one, by all of the reports that i heard it will be continued from the to be continued double agent. i beat double agent just thid week and by the two endings that i beat it dosen't look 2 good for Sam

I worry about BioShock... I mean, the Xbox killed Deus Ex 2.

No game should be exclusive... Stop the most selling crap race...

Nah it will end up like Assassins creed sadly.

aww...shucks... no to exclusitivity!

i love the splinter cell series and can't wiat for double agent to hit my pc. i'm quite excited exclusive titles also usually run better and are better designed for the respective remotes. hope that bioshock doesn't end up feeling like a gamepad game on the pc though.

e_boulanger, wtf r u saying. It is confired by ubi themselves

Splinter Cell 5, an exclusive 360? Mmm... I remember reading that Assassin's Creed was a PS3 exclusive... and yet, the 360 will have it. Can we really trust these statements? I doubt it. Splinter Cell 5 is not even named yet. Microsoft is just luring the consumer to buy the 360 by creating false expectation. It seem they are using their Vaporware marketing strategy again. Nothing force them to actually release the game (or maybe it will just be a small plateformer on XBL). They only have to say that the game is delayed (and we do hear that very often... the "it will ship when it's ready" scheme). The consumer should always be careful with these statements. Especially from Microsoft (or Sony), who has a bad tendency to "exagerate" (you see it on the console side, and more often on the PC side).

If a multiplatform game has slowdown on Xbox and not on PS2, it's fault of the developers, that didn't do the right job, because Xbox is a more capable machine.

I need to get a xbox 360!!

geeeeze, MGS creator Hideo Kojima was probably referring to performance issues on Xbox, not sales, because the Xbox version MGS2:S was plagued with slowdown from beginning to end, while te PS version wasn't. And only Sony fans play MGS? Wow, I must a HUGE Sony fan, since I love MGS yet do not own a single Sony console, or the PSP. Interesing. You learn something new about yourself everyday.

Bioshock for 360 only. That's gotta suck for future PS3 and PC owners.

xbox is capable of doing more then the ps2 graphically. When the asian developer of mgs4 said that he didn't like the way the games turned out on the other consoles, he might have been taking about sales. The only people buying games such as mgs are sony fans, or he's just trying to make other consoles look bad. The wii60 doesn't deserve mgs4. It deserves better.

Hmmm o well..It looked pretty good I wanted 2 play but o well...and Splinter Cell I can do w/o...chance are it'll get ported eventually...it's Ubisoft.And MGS4 will probably neva ever (99.9 % sure)come 2 360...the creater of mgs...said in a article shown in gamespot that he's not portin anymore MGS over 2 any other systems b/c he didn't liked how they turned out on the other systems.So yea tough luck 4 u wii60 fans....he did said he would work on other projects on those systems though

I'll believe Ubisoft 9 moths after SC5 releases.

i think it is a good idea for splintercell 5 to be a 360 only game, thats where it origanated and was always the best. but thats just my opinion im definatly not a mircosoft fanboy.

Wii60 suck and fanboys need to get off that....any way Ubisoft made a big mistake on SC5 what about the people that still have an old Xbox or PS2 well you have lower your sales.

Just more resons to get wii60 :D SP rules!!!

The big problem with cross platform titles is that developers aim for the least common denominator between the consoles. Exclusive titles are able, in theory at least, to max out the capabilities of one system. Making a better game hopefully.

I wonder how much money MS pays to get titles exclusive. I'm thinking that the developers will make more from the cash they get from MS than they will from actual sales.

Pastehunter, you say that as if Ninja Gaiden isn't coming out for the 360 :roll: Xbox was the platform that launched the series, lets think before we open our mouths shall we?

Sony doesn't rull Pastehunter. Halo in the U.S. alone can make more money then Ninja Gaiden, MGS4, and DMC4 combined. Not that those games aren't aswome.

Awww... Really, developers should terminate 'exclusivity'. I mean, if they make titles muli-platform, wouldnt it benefit them in the end? More platforms = More money What? These guys dont like money??? :D

Common people , This will be like with thge first SC , anyways Sony rullz , and games like Ninja Gaiden , MGS4 , DMC4 will be all his .

MGS4 on 360 doesnt seem unlikely really...Maybe eventually even a PC port too.I don't really see why it's hard to believe.

haha nice!,the only console Splinter Cell 5 will be on is the 360!,that news just made my day!
