PS3 exclusives are dying.

Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Resonance of Fate (pretty sure that was first supposed to be an exclusive), Quantum Theory (WAS supposed to be the PS3 gamer's Gears). I mean, whats going on here guys? I wouldn't have been suprised if they announced God of War 3 was gonna bemultiplatform. It just seems like theres more(insert other console name here)exclusives out there that never end up being mutliplatform. I know I sound like a disgruntled fanboy right now but I game on pretty much anything.. PC, PS3 and (insert other console name here). I just think out of the two consoles the PS3 is honest to god the better machine, and I dont know what the hell happened but it deserves so much more then it gets.

I don't know though, what do you guys think? Oh by the way I didn't know if theres already tons of threads like this, I just wanted to make my own. So please only reply if you are discussing this with me.

Out with the old and in with the new.

All those games were great and had there time to shine, but I'm sure Sony thought it was time to move on and put there money else where.

I know what you mean and I agree but theres still a fair few PS3 exclusives to choose from.

Not really, Sony's first party studio list is increasing, they've also just bought MediaMolicule.

Most of the exclusives that Sony has been losing were only really exclusive because of the popularity of the PS2. It was so widely successful that developers could just say "screw it let's just make it for the PS2", because it's a lot easier developing a game for just one console.

The days of Sony's dominance are over now though and it's no surprise devs want to get their product to as many gamers as possible.

Final Fantasy 13 was pretty meh imo. And MGS4 is the last of that series i'll ever need, i've always been more into Solid Snake's/Big Bosses story than the gameplay. And if MAG were anything like GEARS i wouldn't have bought it.

Do you really think a first party game will go multiplat...?:roll:

Even though the PS3 lost some big 3rd party exclusives, nothing beats its 1st and 2nd party lineup. Uncharted 1 & 2, inFAMOUS, God of War 3, Demon's Souls, Resistance 1 & 2, Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, Warhawk, Motorstorm 1 & 2, LBP, MAG,GT5, The Last Guardian and so much more. What are you on about?

Yes lots are being born & growing up too.

I wouldn't have been suprised if they announced God of War 3 was gonna bemultiplatform.

Do you really think that was going to happen? It's developed by Sony's Santa Monica.

i dont understand where you are coming from? I like it when games are multplat so more people have an opportunity to play themMethodManFTW

I know guys it just irritates me a bit. I really would have liked to see games like Quantum and Metal Gear Rising as a PS3 exclusive. I mean, before I bought PS3 whenever I thought about buying one I would always think about MGS4. I just wish it could be the same way with Rising, even if you dont agree with me ya gotta understand where Im comin from.Sithisx

PS3 exclusives are dying...what? The list of Sony exclusives is growing. You mentioned Final Fantasy as going multiplat, and maybe XIII did, but what system is getting Versus XIII? The PS3. What system is getting Agito XIII? The PSP. We're still getting the full Fabula Nova Crystallis series; they're not. So I still feel pretty good about that. Resonance of Fate was always intended as multiplat, so that's that theory gone. I remember being miffed about Star Ocean 4 being 360 exclusive, but then they gave us the better version, albeit still flawed, but hey. You mention MGS, but the core series is exclusive, let's not forget MGS branched out to the Gamecube like, 7 years ago, and in fact started with Nintendo. So did Final Fantasy by the way, but that's neither here nor there.

I just find it very odd that you pick now as the time to post this thread, as some enormous exclusives have recently been released, such as Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, God of War 3, Heavy Rain, with highly anticipated giants such as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, the Final Fantasy XIV MMO, and let's not forget a little thing called Gran Turismo 5 due later this year. Okay, FFXIV is on PC as well, and GT5...well, we should get it...at sometime or another. Point is...dude, PS3 has the best exclusives in the biz, and it's about time, considering dev's are finally starting to use the potential the PS3 has, not whining that it's toooooo haaaarrrrrd.

From my point of view, there are more and more GREAT PS3 exclusives coming out, while I can't say the same for 360. I mean seriously if we skip Mass effect 2 I can't remember which was the last exclusive title of Microsoft that blew my mind (and ME 2 isn't even exclusive. It comes out for PC too)

This may be because I have no interest whatsoever in the 360, but I don't even know what exclusives they have. I know Halo, Gears of War...what else? Alan Wake, right? Isn't that about it, or close to it? I mean, Nintendo has their fantastic exclusives, PS3 is really ramping up the exclusives quality and quantity, not really hearing too much about the 360. Then again, might just be because I don't follow any M$ news.

I agree with the TC, the PS3 is surely running out of exclusives, but the other console seems to be picking up with some. The games that are PS3 exclusive really show off what the PS3 can do, but things are changing and the exclusives are running dry. Sony holding the attitude to not pay for exclusives is a really conceded way to think. Get with the program and invest more software into the PS3 Sony...but they're too cheap to do that! (their too busy trying to come out with the MOVE) :roll:

I seriously hope this is sarcasim. Sony has invested far more in the development of exclusives this Gen than Microsoft, I mean they purchased Media Molocule (Little big planet creators) Evolution Studios (Motorstorm creators), BigBig Studios (The last 3 I mentioned are just in the Uk alone) and I believe Quanitic Theory, Level 5 and Ninja theory may well be joining them 1st party sometime soon.

Wheras microsoft has actually let go of 1st Party devs, Ie bungie, and next gen with most likely all publishers/devs going mulitplat for max sales the only exclusives I can see hapening are first and sometimes 2nd party. They have also spent 80 million on timed GTA DLC, Thats utterly ridiculous! You could set up an entire studio or buy over an exsting one for that price.

OP idk where you get that from, regardless of Sony losing some exclusives, the PS3 is still considered to have the most exclusives this gen.

TC doesn't know how first party and third party developers work, and how loud money talks.

As for the "losing exclusives", look at this interesting part of an article I found.

Beyond the new motion controller, Sony has a stellar list of games launching for the PS3 in 2010. We already know about God of War III, MAG, Heavy Rain, and ModNation Racers, but Koller says Sony has some big tricks up its sleeves in the software department, both first and third party titles. We'll have to wait for more details, but it sounds like 2010 is going to be a huge year for Sony as it builds off the momentum from the past few months.

I bolded the part to read.

PS3 still has a ton of exclusives this year: GOW III, Heavy Rain, GT5, ModNation Racer, MAG, Yakuza 3, MLB The Show 10, The Last Guardian (not sure if it's out this year) and a game made by Rockstar most PS3 owners forget : AGENT!

If they keep pumping out games like Heavy Rain then I don't care if some other games go multi-plat. Multi-plats are great because other people can enjoy them as well. I don't put much stock into exclusives since I buy almost all my games for PS3 regardless of it multi-plat anyway. Exclusives are important though. They give you a reason to buy a console.

OK ok so I was just talking out of my butt guys, sheesh! I was just pissed off because I just heard about Quantum Theory going mutliplat. and I figured it was going to be our little slice of a Gears style game. Even though it looks about 100x better then Gears. I was just blowing off steam and I didn't think the thread would grow so much. Sithisx

PS3 exclusives are not dying and Final Fantasy hasn't really ever been exclusive considering the series started on Nintendo as for Final Fantasy VII it was released on PC and PS1 as for Metal Gear it's had some exclusive titles on Playstation but most people seem to forget it started on NES and the MSX. The only reason the games are multiplatform is not down to Sony it's down the publishers and developers plus it's a good way of them getting more money as everyone else can enjoy the game too. Sony are coming out with new and fresh titles all the time over the last few years Sony have gave us some great exclusives and I'm sure that Sony will keep even more coming.

Who cares? As long as they DO come out on PS3, I'm happy.

By the way... Quantum Theory? REALLY????

i dont understand where you are coming from? I like it when games are multplat so more people have an opportunity to play themMethodManFTW

Exactly what I have in mind.
