Microsoft has Payed For RE5 timed Exclusivity.(Rumor)

[QUOTE="jimm895"]I hope not. If M$ can't get developers to come on board on there own then they need to change things in the company itself instead of trying to buy there way into game studios.xscrapzx

Why? Its a great business plan, throw a few million someones way and then get a hell of return in for that investment. I don't see anything wrong with it, though it stinks if you have a ps3, but hey business is business.

EDIT: I also don't know why people get all up in arms about this kind of stuff. I mean do you think all these developers, MS, Sony and Nintendo are sitting here thinking about Fanboys? You have to be kidding me, they are here to make money and grab hold as much of the market as they can. Thats the whole point, this isn't like a big loyalty thing where Capcom is sitting there saying "We don't want to hurt Sony or their fanboys feelings if we do this." No they are sitting there saying "MS wants to pony up 10-20 mil for 6 months of exclusitivity. Where do we sign?" Business guys thats what it is.

I doubt it. Capcom is too big of a company to play by childish rules like that. It could potentially damage the sales of millions of copies of RE 5. bstarter29

:lol: Why don't you just wait until it comes out for the PS3? It will still be a multiplat title... It will just come out later on the PS3.....Like everything else. Also sending strange stuff in the mail is not the smartest move these days.

Well RE had its fanbase on the PS so it was strange to even take it off the platform in the first place and go to the gamecube. If that is what you are talking about.

seriously..just how many people forgot about all those claims capcom made about the game being an gamecube exclusive?

and as for RE5 being a timed exclusive...it shouldnt really be much of a surprise considering how capcom has been operating this generation. cows should just be thankful microsoft didnt buy the entire game.

Probably has something to do with how the system is selling in Japan. The game is bigger than Tales or SO so I am guessing they did not want to take any risks. Or they really meant "We only do multiplats this gen."

If true, this is one more reason for a lot of people to hate MS. I could understand them paying for exclusive extra content, but paying to have the game time exclusive is a crime for a lot of PS3 owners only that are so eagerly waiting for this game, myself included.lusitanogamer

Agreed in all

You are free to shoose the system you buy! I dont care if im giving money to a company that already hav milions. I dont like ms aswell but i can trust in their pockets. It mean more games to my system!

Here we go again, MS once again using their monetary power rather than any enhancing quality of their product to winnaval

How was the MGS4 bundle?

One month of waiting isn't going to hurt a Cow like me. I'm used to it. MS is just pissing money away.caseypayne69

Man. You shouldn't talk about yourself like that. Get on a weight training program or something.

Oh.

When was MGS4 announced for the 360? RE5 is/was set out for both of them already.

Childish rules?

They did the same thing when they gave Nintendo Gamecube and its (at the time) 17 million userbase Resident Evil 4 nearly nine months before it was given to PS3 and its (at the time) 100 million userbase.

Why would they not be incline to score some scratch on the side and do the same thing this gen?

indeed, it made the PS2 users want it more because it was on the cube.

So you think MGS4 was bundled with PS3's for free? That Konami didn't get any cut on those? THey just offered their game free to Sony's SKU?

thats what "loyal" developers do..support somebody and expect nothing but hugs and giftbaskets in return :roll:

[QUOTE="caseypayne69"]One month of waiting isn't going to hurt a Cow like me. I'm used to it. MS is just pissing money away.REforever101

you're aware its most likely going to be half a year or so, right?

By the time the 360 version is out I'll be consumed with killzone 2. Like I care honestly. Right now I'm still tring to finish GTA4, and MGS4. Heck I haven't even made it to lvl 55 in COD4 online. I"m just that busy with my family and I'm writing a book. (so I won't have a 9-5 job some day) but thats beside the point. What I'm saying is, when a game comes out I normally don't play it beat it, leave it on the shelf. I did that with Heavenly Sword, I just couldn't replay it due to the fact the boss battles were stupidly hard. But games like Warhawk, Uncharted, MGS4, GTA4, Hell I still play all the Resident Evils. And off and on reopen my account to FFXI online. So really waiting isn't an issue when you love to play old games and have a big libray at your home of games. I love the Resident Evil Remake, did I buy it first day? No, did I buy RE4 first day? Matter of fact I never bought them cause I didn't have a Gamecube nor cared to buy one till my wife bought me one for Christmas. Man I love her. All I got her was nice jewels to wear around her neck.

NO ONE deserves to have to wait for this game any longer than anyone else

MS is REALLY trying hard to make a comeback in Japan.

I've always thought to myself, "Why don't they make an amazing game development studio." Then I realized it... "They are effin Microsoft!" They can pay for whatver they want... No extra effort involved.

Well if this is true I know which version I'm gonna buy.

If it's true then Capcom would care about these childish games. They are getting millions from MS to make it timed exclusive. But I hope it doesn't happen...

its pretty sad that M$'s answer to everything is to pay people off. Im glad I bought the other consolesignore

[QUOTE="signore"]its pretty sad that M$'s answer to everything is to pay people off. Im glad I bought the other consolevaderhater

True. But the Blu-Ray vs HDDVD battle was inevitable. Blu-Ray would have eventually won. They just wanted to get the format war over with faster.

Both Sony and Microsoft pay money to companies for exclusive, or timed exclusives, do you think Konami recieved no money from sony, look at all the Sony stuff from talking up Blu-Ray to a PSP, they must have paid them alot

But BOTH companies do it, its not new, nor is it anything to get excited about

All companies do it. I was just pointing this out to you. I never said Sony was innocent of anything. No company is.

Capcom is MS's bi***.

That very statement could apply to Konami how about that? I think you forget the 360 still has a larger user-base.

Yep, sounds like MicroSoft. Thats just great business, Sony and Nintendo need to take advice from them.theycallmeryan

That's the most annoying sig I've ever seen!

Oh well! How do you think I felt when I had a Sega Saturn long before Sega said they weren't supporting it anymore and it was still around? Watching all these games getting made for the PS1 and not one thing coming out for the Saturn at all. Ya go figure, but its M$ teh are a monopoly! They are killing the gaming industry! When Sony did the same damn thing in the middle 90's when they first came out with the PS1. They destroyed Sega and any hopes of it trying to strive in the industry.

cows getting anoyed, true RE fans buying a 360 to play it first, 360 owners getting it day one.

best of all.........ensured 80% of sales if this happens

good rumor, im looking forward to this

[QUOTE="signore"]its pretty sad that M$'s answer to everything is to pay people off. Im glad I bought the other consolevaderhater

What's funny is Sony and the other stuidos were forced to try and compete with MS & Toshiba with buying off other stuidos. When Sony tried to play fair, MS & Toshiba pay off a stuido with $150 million. That's why I don't blame them if they paid them off to win the war......which btw no one has admitted to this day any money changed hands (unlike the Paramount deal that I mentioned)

Do you scream instead of talking in a normal fashion irl?

he´s just making stuff up, he´s got the timelines completly wrong, microsoft only affected the fallout : brotherhood of steel game and even then Black isle studios, the dev that developed fallout 1 and 2 was already deceased by then, all microsoft did was pay interplay to launch the game on the xbox nothing else, MS had nothing to do what so ever with Fallout 1 2 or 3
