It only applies to console fanboys, when it's convenient:
360 fanboys will tout their Console exclusives now, and when game like DC Universe Online come out, they suddenly will condemn the term.
PS3 fanboys who downed the term will toss it around like crazy when DCUO comes out.",

Would you differentiate between a PC and a Mac when it comes to exclusives? They are and they aren't different formats. They both have their own unique fanbase much akin to console fanboys, but at the end of the day they are both collections of processors (amd/intel), video cards (ati/nvidia), memory and hard drives.
If something is 'PC exclusive' it can also be played on a Mac as macs can use windows these days. It (usually) can't be played on OSX but anything made exclusivly for OSX can't be played on a windows PC.
Should the term 'pc exclusive' be replaced by 'windows exclusive' I wonder?",

For a while now I have been seeing problems with peoples understanding of what exactly constitutes and "Exclusive". I am writing this to break down how you can define an exclusive so you can be better educated on the subject. Not only so you don't look like a moron when you post about exclusives but to also mitigate flaming and 50 posts and replies in every article debating what an "Exclusive" actually constitutes.
Exclusive by Definition.
The Final Fantasy VII Rebirth combat director has expressed that he wants the final part in the trilogy to offer players "even more freedom".
I love the game so far but please don’t make the final part a mini game fest
Everytime I get to a new part in Rebirth it’s “mini game time”
As long as it comes out on PS5 to have the entire series on one platform, do whatever you want
The combat is my favorite thing about Rebirth. Would be really cool if they can improve it even more.
I hope after FF7 Square will either give a new FF game the remake treatment. Or give some of their older titles a remake treatment like Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, even Xenogears.
Wccf tech writes: "Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's scope was impacted by the Xbox Series S hardware limitations, as developers could only make a game that was 25% bigger than its predecessor."
More info from the author of the article, I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/ki...
Quote:
"1) I was told this info from the producer of the game Martin Klíma.
2) He specifically said the game will have only one mode.
3) And this mode is 4K 30 on PS5/XSX and 1440p 30 on XSS.
4) He said that the game is already running north of the 30 FPS cap so the performance should be stable on launch, much better than KCD1.
5) The limitation was XSS because of the 10GB memory. He said that's why they wanted to make the game 25% larger.
6) Speculation on my part: the output resolution is probably upscaled and the reason why there won't be a 60 FPS mode is because it'll most likely be very CPU heavy, like Dragon's Dogma 2 for example."
Doesn't seem like they're adding a 40fps mode on PS5/Series X for launch even if they can handle it.
Remember when xbots were adamant that the series s won’t hold back the gen?
Microsoft just needs to let go of the mandatory parity. Who cares if your grandma doesn’t understand that a game cannot be played on the S. It’s not like it she can buy you a physical game for it anyway. Before buying the game put up a notice that it only works on series X. If you’re buying for a friend-allow for a refund.
Bam. Everyone is happy. Most series s owners are for casuals that want Game Pass anyway and most likely don’t purchase most games.
If the developers want it to run on S, let them figure it out.
“During the event, the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 producer also revealed that on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the game will run at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second“
Another “creative decision” right? 🤦♂️
Custom Controller Company HexGaming launched a Kickstarter campaign for their latest pro controller, Hex Phantom. - IS
very intelligent blog my friend...all 360 fanboys need to read it (although they still might not learn much)
To a PS3 fan, Little Big Planet is an exclusive. To a 360 fan, Mass Effect is an exclusive. If one was to take "exclusive" by its literal definition then only a few games would fit the mold, most would be in the "gray area" as you say.
In this "Next Gen" and especially on N4G, "exclusive" means: not on the competing platform.
You may not like it. But you better get used to it.
haha...what a waste of time.
Is an exclusive game a better game by default? Is it 'worth' more in some way? Am I a dirty person if I enjoy games not minding wether they are multiplat or exclusive?
Soda is right.Exclusives dont matter in terms of quality.Look at all the crappy Live arcade games that arrive every week.Or the freshly milked Singstar games which have an entire shelf occupied at Gamestop.
