Data-Fly is not a PS3 exclusive

Despite what you may have heard, there's been no confirmation that Data-Fly is a PlayStation 3 exclusive.

There's been some confusion over what platforms Data-Fly will be appearing on. The game from Origo Games recently earnt its first teaser trailer, after being revealed way back in 2005.

PSU.com has been eager to frame Data-Fly as a PlayStation 3 game and has failed to mention other platforms; thus many believed that the game was indeed exclusive to Sony's platform.

Maybe it's just me, but I find that picture really freaky. The article makes a good point, lead platform implies that it will be on other platforms. The game is definitely intriguing though.

"there's been no confirmation that Data-Fly is a PlayStation 3 exclusive."

There is no confirmation that it is multiplatform either. Nobody has cleared up the supposed "confusion". However, the evidence does say it's exclusive considering it first appeared on PSU.

So maybe it's not exclusive, but maybe it is. We don't know if it's multiplatform, so saying it is NOT a PS3 exclusive implies it IS multiplatform, which is a bullsh1t title to grab attention for your website. This is NOT NEWS, only wild speculation.

It didn't FIRST appear on PSU. The developer want's to support PSU for some unknown reason. They are "leading" on PS3 - meaning it's not exclusive.

Anyone want to remind me why it's PSU.com's job to tell anyone about game support on a non-PS3 platform?

If it's that big of a deal, contact Macro$haft and tell them to start pushing it. Otherwise stop the stupid only-gamers-care-about-this-st upid-news bickering. It's why you're still a virgin.

"Lead platform" suggests it is multiplat, although it could be timed exclusive (but I doubt it). Either way it looks like the PS3 will get a good version of the game.

"There has never been anything to suggest the game being exclusive to PS3. "

Uh, yes there is. Letting a PlayStation exclusive website have exclusive info is enough information to suggest that it might be exclusive. It might *NOT* be, but as of now, there's more *recent* information suggesting that it could as well be.

This title is misleading, it's only "deep" looking to get hits. While he does make a good point in that there's no confirmation of it being an exclusive, it's saddening that one of this site's few good contributors is actually using the same tactics as most sh1tty sites out there. Especially since he's selectively choosing to disregard the fact that PSU had exclusive information and not a multiplatform website like say IGN or Gamepro or a lesser site like Meristation.

To sum it up, it may be multiplatform, but as it stands, odds aren't unrealistic for it to be PS3 exclusive. There's probably more chance of Data-fly being PS3 exclusive than Mass Effect 2 or Lost Planet 2 remaining 360 exclusive, all things considered AT THIS MOMENT.

Tommorrow anything could change, but as it stands, the odds of it being a Ps3 exclusive may be *relatively* high.

It could be PS3/PC, but I think it will be on Xbox 360 too. A staff member at PSU didn't reply to me when I asked him, so I think its definitely going to appear on the Xbox 360 too.

3 - So let me get this straight...
Gamezine has no confirmation about which platforms Data-fly is going to be on, but it's OK for them to call out PSU when the PS3 has been the only confirmed platform for the game. The funny thing is PSU wasn't the only website to call the game a PS3 exclusive. http://www.google.com/searc... Classy, Gamezine, really classy...

Uh it's actually been called an xbox 360 and PS3 game since 2005.

PSU have been the only ones to say it was PS3 only - they actually titled their story on N4G - "New info on PS3 exclusive Data-Fly" - which made the story rocket on N4G.

And this doesn't read like Gamezine is calling them out - it's simply stating, with proof, that it's on other platforms other than the PS3.

3.2 - So basically...
you're telling me this article was a complete waste of time if the game has been known to be on the XBOX360 since 2005? Yes, it does read like Gamezine is calling out PSU, if they aren't then what is the point? The only proof they provided was that the PS3 was the "lead platform". I guess I don't have to keep wasting my time with this news that, according to the contributor itself, isn't news.

Uh...remember the BioShock news. It's 360, no it's PS3, not it's both, etc etc. Things change over the years. It's time to say that what PSU were reporting as a PS3 exclusive, most likely isn't...so 360 owners can start to be intrigued by the game.

3.4 - PSU never said this was PS3 Exclusive
The poster of the article said that, while PSU's real title for it is PSU Exclusive Data-Fly Screenshots I believe meaning the screenshots were only exclusive to PSU.com as of the moment we all know its coming for the PS3 we are however not sure if it is coming for 360.

The platforms for this game is still unknown with the exception of PS3 so as of the moment people are calling this exclusive. The title of the article is wrong and right, wrong because it is not confirmed by Origo Games to be exclusives and it is also right because Origo Games never said it was multiplatform either.

I wouldn't really call them biased. They run a PS3 site only and make very little references to other systems let alone try to bash or give a wrongful image of how the other systems are.

It's on 360 as well?!

Well, I'm not buying it anymore... :-/

PS3 was the only confirmed platform, I think most people were in agreement it was probably multiplatform but pending lack of information was only put as PS3. The title's of those articles were way misleading though.

Are you serious or was that sarcasm that I missed? I suppose that means you skipped out on Prince of Persia and RE5, and will also skip out on FFXIII? Your loss, I guess. My collection definitely includes more exclusive titles, but I've also played some killer multiplats.

Also, I completely agree that the title was misleading. They cast doubt on PS3 exclusivity, but they offered no compelling evidence for other platforms. In fact, they admit that they will "presume" it's multiplat. How is that any different that presuming it's exclusive? It's just like all these titles that say "Blah Blah Confirmed?" No, if there's a question mark, then there is no confirmation. Buy a dictionary.

Anyone who thought this was a PS3 exclusive is simply misinformed. This game DOES use the PS3 as its lead development platform, but it is in no way a PS3 exclusive.

It could be a timed exclusive since ORIGO are so reluctant to speak of any other platforms.

11 - Its ps3 exclusive untill i see some recent info that its multi
It would be dumb to hide that the game is comeing out on x360 becuase dont x360 have more consoles out? It seems they would of not mentioned the ps3 version and showed the x360 version if it was multi becuase the x360 has no games at the momemnt so they would be very hyped to have at least one game to look forward to this year.
like I stated before untill I here some info that its multi in recent news not news from 10 years ago then its ps3 exclusive.

"aiming for PS3 as the lead platform, due to the fact the gamers appreciate more original titles on [the] PS3."

That implies, to me at least, they're testing the water with the PS3 and if popular, you'll see it jump platforms. Could be wrong.

2005...was 4 years ago, a lot of things change and since they have only produced screen shots to a Playstation news site, it casts plenty of doubt on multi status. It could be timed but for right now it should be considered exclusive, Gamezine = fail...again

Exactly like what happened with BlazBlue. The game was set to be arcade only, but for some reason people stamped it for PS3 until, few weeks ago, the game is announced for consoles, where people were crying that PS3 lost an exclusivity.
Let's wait E3 for some gameplay footage.

Really don't care. Will be nice if it is, won't personally be bothered if its a multiplat. Either way, I'll still be for sure getting it on the PS3, really neat concept, I've been excited for this one even before it recently resurfaced.

I'd just like to point out that the new design is awful. I hope that Datafly's lead character has far better design than this in the full product or steps back to the anime inspired look instead of looking like a half assed doll Faith from Mirror's Edge.
