Super Meat Boy NOT on PS3

[QUOTE="lbjkurono23"]

[QUOTE="elbert_b_23"]shouldn't even be on the 360 but whatever i'll teach them by not buying it on any systemRavensmash

Why?

[QUOTE="catfishmoon23"]You can read up on the reason it's not coming to PSNhere.santoron

So when they agreed to put it on 360, the contract didn't allow it to also go to PSN, if I'm understanding correctly. Oh, MS. :roll:

Thanks for the link.

I mean the artical says they did respond to the team but not before MS. So yea i guess it was first come first serve. IDK just seems werid that they cant release it on PSN cause sony didint show intrest in 5 seconds.

[QUOTE="elbert_b_23"]shouldn't even be on the 360 but whatever i'll teach them by not buying it on any systemlbjkurono23

Why?

Well, I suppose because it was originally supposed to be a Wii Ware exclusive. Without Nintendo, this game would have never been released apparently.

Yeah, eat that PS3 fans!

...or just play the PC version :P

so its like n+ and the other jump around the level games with harder and harder difficulty but this time with a meat boy? im not seeing any thing unqiue here.

I really like the music and the game looks fun but its too gruesome for my taste (not that I don't eat meat of course).

I can't believe that this thread got Revived......This was back in March Guys.

Why exactly is this a bad thing done by Microsoft? :?

:oops: Someone trying to drive home the point, I guess. But I should've looked at the date before asking about the thread.

Well, you should've created it yesterday instead.

Why?

Because it was supposed to be a Wiiware exclusive(they had the hope to release it on PC if possible). MS just hijacked it when already in production, just like they did with Braid and there are some other upcoming ones where they did the same.

I don't care, we have Little Big Planet 2.

I think it actually had to do with Newgrounds seeing as Meat Boy is from Newgrounds.

I dunno... it seems a little silly for MS to lock someone out of another avenue to publish a game that's going to every other major platform already. It's certainly not something MS would try with a larger, established dev team. We've seen shared network titles in the past to know that.

"Yeah, we'd Love to have your game that's already coming to PC and Wii on XBLA. But before we do, we need to make sure you won't put it on PSN."

I mean, really? Does MS think this somehow would influence anyone's decision to buy a 360 vs a PS3? Maybe it's just me, I just find it silly. Petty, even. :shock:

So..Microsoft is acting like a business...? :shock:

They're trying to get the upper hand on their competitors?! :shock:

Madness I tell you madness.

The same logic could apply for the PS3 using exclusive advertising. Businesses will act like businesses.

If you call that smart business, sure, why not? If you call working to keep a single platform of gamers away from a game that any netbook can run as getting the upper hand on the competition, cool.

I simply disagree. I'm not put out by it. More like watching boys be boys.

It might not be the most strategically correct plan, but it is something to be expected from a business.

Once again just like exclusive advertising from Sony.

It will be released on the PS3 on a year or two just like every other indy XBLA exclusive.

You can't really compare exclusive advertising with locking out a game from a system though.

Sure, both are business strategies but that's about it.

Nintendo apparently didn't ask for a non-compete clause. Were they not acting like a business? Are you shocked by their inaction? :shock:

And I don't know why I'm going down this road, but how would asserting an exclusivity clause against a small dev team equate to branded advertising - if I'm understanding what you're referencing? And why do you seem to think it's a "Sony" thing? Both companies have helped pay for ad campaigns before, and that's really not the same thing...

The bottom line, it whatever gives you the slight edge in such a close competiton go for it. The 360 and PS3 are so damn similar in terms of their software and appeal every little bit will help them get ahead in the eyes of the business.

And yes MS does exclusive advertising as well. I'm just trying to show that Sony isn't exactly a saint of a business that some people in SW try to make them out to be.

Fair enough, and let me be clear: I am not for one moment trying to assert that Sony is a "Better" company because of this. I'm simply calling out silliness when I see it. And I consider working to keep Super Meat Boy off of the PS3 to gain a "competitive advantage" as entirely silly. Which is why I didn't proclaim "MS is teh devil" or make some snarky "M$" joke. I merely said, "Oh, MS. :roll:"

It's not XBLA exclusive.

Not if the Creators don't want it on the PS3.

just played the demo and yup we wont be missing a thing imho. graphics arent great and its not that fun

eh, really, how many times do Devs say this and its not true?

Nah, it's not "hurt feelings", MS's contract stipulated that the 360 get it before the previously announced PC and Wii versions, and PS3 not get it at all. I'm sure they were well compensated for the decision to sign, though it is funny SMB was developed specifically because of Nintendo's interest.

Which makes me think that Microsoft has some deal with Newgrounds.

[QUOTE="Tauu"]

The game would run too fast on the PS3 due to the power of The Cell.

Suuuure. Let's go with that.

From skimming the front page there, I got that Sony did express interest but took too long doing so.

It's ok, people will remake it in LBP2 in a month.

You mean people will remake a single section from the game and it will turn out much worse than it is in the actual game.

Or multiply the awesomeness by a factor of 50?

SMB could be remade in LBP, in LBP2 its possible to make it much better:)

Sony must of known that this would not be the kind of game there fans would be interested in.
