I don't know what it was... maybe the pink hair. And the all boys team on Versus. I'm probably being very unfair. I'm just disappointed in the Versus lineup I guess :)

For some reason on the XV poster I got an old school Eidos vibe, especially on the bare-chested guy behind noctus. Looks like they could fit in an old Tomb Raider game.

Also, my interest in Smash Bros went up 100%

FFXV & KH3 aren't console exclusive!

In related news: NO ONE CARES, because the PS4 is still cheaper and has better hardware! :awesome:

well so much for exclusives. :monster:

Honestly, I think exclusives need to be restricted to first-party productions. There is absolutely no reason that third party developers and publishers need to restrict themselves to a single console when by going multiplatform they reach out to a wider audience, gain further sales and expose their product to give a better choice for the consumer.

There're other things where it benefits the smaller developers, like ThatGameCompany's three game deal with Sony that allowed them to make Fl0w, Flower, & Journey, because they got MUCH better marketing due to the fact that Sony backed them really strongly.

On a contextual basis, sure there are differences where smaller more independent producers are picked up by the Big Three - but unless they're contractually bound to not offer it on any other platform (in which case it is a different can of worms) I can't see any reason that putting it on multiple platforms would hurt their exposure.

Wholeheartedly agree with you here, but there're a couple additional reasons that this happens.

The biggest costs are licensing with the big three at all. One - it's pretty costly even doing it, and Two - you want to make sure you get a good return on it. (The game I'm contributing a design for, Kaiju Combat is releasing on PC-only for now, because it's a KickStarted Project and initially attempting a console release is WAY outside what our budget is, and we want to make sure that if/when it's done that there's enough exposure to at least make up the cost of doing it).

On top of that, with the PS3/360, the development architecture was REALLY different, which would have been a cost all in its own, but from what I know about the XboxOne & OS4, they're MUCH more similar comparatively speaking, and that should make everything lots easier for the Indy Devs.

Overall, everything about this generation seems better for the smaller Devs.

I feel like it's cheating including Minecraft "XboxOne Edition" as an exclusive...

...you know... 'cause it's FUCKING MINECRAFT.


Also, there is an extreme lack of Octodad in that list.
