Namco Bandai's new PS3 "exclusives" not so exclusive after all?

Joystiq's translator has the following to say:

- These likely aren't scans at all -- they're either mock-ups or leaked page template files.
- There is no confirmation that these are PS3 games or even games at all! Team Aces is behind the wheel, however, and they recently made Ace Combat 6 an Xbox 360 exclusive...
- If Cellius is involved, it is not evidenced here.

Wait for official news.
D@mn I don't have enough bubbles for this topic.

techie6255d ago

We knew they were concepts only...Cellius was provided by sources. Hey ho. We won't find out for a year or so.

kingboy6255d ago (Edited 6255d ago )

Not forgetting this is coming from Joystiq,a very bias anti sony blog..No one ever said Ace Combat was 360 exclusive duh! I guess we all need an official confirmation

consolewar6255d ago

easy boy, easy I'm pretty sure this is just a rumor, dont wet your panties on this one. You'll have plenty to cry about in the future I promise you.

zonetrooper56255d ago

This could generate a big comment section...

GaMr-6255d ago

It just seems like someone is going out of their way to steal Sony's thunder...

People wanna bring hate on the Big "S"...lol Too Badd Soo Sad !!!

JasonPC360PS3Wii6255d ago

Or may be there just handing it to us with there own mistakes.

GaMr-6255d ago

"Or may be there just handing it to us with there own mistakes."

One of your better comments. Im impressed. See what happens when you think before you type... you get results. If you had said that around nov-2006- to about late Jan-2007 I would of agreed... But Sony really picked it up....as far as

Virtua Fighter looking good
MotorStorm
Getting Immersion to Settle
GDC 2007
Folding @ Home (I thought when people said it can "Cure Cancer" they were mocking)

Euro Launch- 600K sold...pretty nice

ETC:

; )

All they have to do now is keep Ken K. and Kaz Hirai away from the media and they will be fine.

I would hate to see a repeat of "4D Riiiiiidge Racccceeerrr"

Nuff Said.

DC RID3R6255d ago

Insomniac seem VERY confident on the PS3 this gen.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga1d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d 3h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow4h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody1d 15h ago (Edited 1d 15h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 14h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 12h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 12h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii23h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno21h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
