If its on PC/360 is it exclusive?

Moron, let me highlight it even more for you, how does it imply every game ever made is exclusive.

You fail to see the meaning of the word exclusive its okay

[QUOTE="paul265"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] It would make Resident Evil 5 exclusive as its only on 360/PS3/PC but not on Wii/DS/PSP see the flaw in that logic.....an Exclusive is one platform in terms of videogames. Not EXCLUSIVE to one company...but 1 SYSTEM.jg4xchamp

You fail to see the meaning of the word exclusive its okay

Left 4 Dead is a 360/PC exclusive, if it goes to PS3 it will be classed as mulitplat becaus its on a system thats not MSs, Like when Bioshock was 360/PC exclusive now its just a mulitplat. Let me highlight it again

2. Shutting out all others from a part or share: exclusive rights to film or game. (MS keeping games on their platforms, like Halo)

No it's not exclusive, but it's not gramatically wrong to say that it is exclusive to the PC and Xbox 360. Just like Sky say that a film is exclusive to Sky movies and Sky box office.

This only seems to be a PC/360 arguement. I don't think there is a PS3/PC exclusive game. I guess that's why this topic gets so many repeats.

[QUOTE="metalgear-solid"]No. I don't have a Xbox 360 anymore but I can still play most of it's games on my PC. So no, games on both the PC and Xbox 360 are not exclusive.blue_hazy_basic

BHB, you just need to accept that every cow in SW owns a high-end gaming PC. Don't ever question it! :shock:

If we are saying that then the Wii/PS2/PSP are exclusive >.>Vexx88

I thought I settled this. :P Anytime we are talking about a PC/360 game which there are many then they are called:

PS3/Wii Excluded.

That's accurate, concise and does the job.

Recently Fable2, GeoW2 and Last Remnent say Hi :P But I know what you mean.

I think it all really stems from PS3 Vs 360 arguement where a PC/360 game can't be used in favour of the 360 because it isn't exclusive to it because (as we all know) Cows suddenly grow gaming PC's aroubd this time and say "I'd rather play that on my PC with a M&K...etc etc" Can't blame the younger lemmings for biting.

What? Microsoft doesn't own PC gaming at all.

[QUOTE="paul265"][QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]Last Remnant was already annouced as coming to PC and rumors are starting about Fable2 as well, so lemmings are righftuly paranoid I guess :DBebi_vegeta

[QUOTE="paul265"] Why would we be paranoid, if MS want to support both there system thats alright. At least they haven't giving up on the PC like sony has with the psp.paul265

Who are talking to, the other 82 user that voted with you?

Anyway, can you put a X360 disc into a PC and play it?

It is on multiple platforms. It is a multiplat. "PC" is not a Microsoft platform.Vandalvideo

Maybe this will help because I can't explain it http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/Pages/index.aspxpaul265

This Is GS not games for windows, and you know there's a poll right? You know the answer is no right?

Maybe this will help because I can't explain it http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/Pages/index.aspxpaul265

And? Why are you not answering my question?

Anyway, not all games have this tagged on the box nor does it mean anything. Some games are just plublished by Microsoft.

That just means, that both platforme are very different and have nothing to do with one and other. Making the game multiplate for both system.

Look what this says http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/10910/Alan-Wake-Exclusive-for-Xbox-360-and-Windows-Vista/

[QUOTE="dsmccracken"] Agreed... and no, if it's on 360 and PC, it is not exclusive. It is multiplat... but unfortunately the word "multiplat" lacks nuance. After all, Mass Effect, while undoubtedly multiplat, is not multiplat in the same way Madden or COD4 are. Certain vocal minorities hate the term "console exclusive", and that's fine, but whatever jargon you choose to describe 360/PC games, be it "console exclusive", "limited multiplat", "not on PS3" or whatever, there is no doubt a distinction that deserves to be recognized when comparing libraries.Vandalvideo

[QUOTE="dsmccracken"][QUOTE="Vandalvideo"] Because it is a fact. There are dozens of companies that have parts that are required to play PC games. It isn't like Microsoft is the only company in the PC businesss. You don't even have to have Windows to play any windows games. You can go the UBUNTU/WINE route if you are really gungho and anti-microsoft. Microsoft does not own the PC platform. They do not manufacture the PC platform. They do not support the PC platform. paul265

Let look at the history of Microsoft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mircosoft the PC isn't Microsofts platformpaul265

[QUOTE="dsmccracken"] Regardless, the term has meaning to all consolites whether they admit it or not. You can call it vacuous, but that doesn't make it so. In other words, yes, they are multiplats, but that isn't the whole story, and insisting that it is is disingenuous.Vandalvideo

[QUOTE="dsmccracken"] Did I make it up? How did you even know the term then? Seems to me that term existed before I visited this site today. I don't see "multiplat" in the dictionary, yet oddly that doesn't seem to offend you.... weird, huh? Anyway, who says that words can't be made up? Words enter and exit the language all the time. Compare the Oxford dictionary now and 50 years ago. Good lord. What exactly is it about the phrase "limited multiplat"? Vandalvideo
