MachineGames should be a good fit for this, the old third/first person Riddick games were great

its either exclusive or its not. Hell Sony even irritates me with this console exclusive BS, if its on another platform its not exclusive.

Not doubting them at all. Just surprised. Wondering if the game will be 3rd person, First-person, or a combination. Maybe even something VR?

so horizon is not exclusive
death stranding is not exclusive
project athia not exclusive
also, are remakes of older games exclusives If the previous versions appeared on other platforms?

Lol at “this is how Xbox gets its Uncharted”
100% it’s a multiplatform game.

Obviously, it's a new game, regardless if it has identical source code and no new content, because it says Remastered on it.

Microsoft paid $7.5 Billion dollars for Bethesda in order to give away arguably one of the biggest IP rights in the movie franchise world.
Sure.

thank god for this forum, otherwise I wouldn’t know what is exclusive and what is not /s
you sexist, Indie will be black transgender without any specific gender identity /s

Horizon WAS exclsive, it is no longer
Death Stranding WAS exclusive, it is no longer
Project Athia if coming to pc as well is not an exclusive.
the above 3 is correct, remakes are different because the game was remade from the ground up using different engine, assets etc. is the remade version on another platform? Or just the ps5?

Why’s that?
Unless it’s caught in previous contractual discussions and Microsoft chose not to buy those rights out (which would be odd) there’s no reason for it not to be exclusive.
What exactly do people think MS dropped billions on? A couple of timed exclusives?
This is what they paid money for. AAA games that, in terms of consoles, are Xbox only.

I’m sure business is difficult to understand but MS still doesn’t yet own Bethesda and this will be a Disney/Bethesda contract which they will have to fulfill, otherwise they lose the license.
What you thought MS had bought Indiana Jones or something?
Ogbert
Member
Yes.
But the term ‘exclusive’, as we righteous nerds use it, only really applies to Xbox and PlayStation. No one calls World of Warcraft an ‘exclusive’. It’s just a PC game.

Oh so now MS is not only in the process of acquiring Bethesda but they are also in the process of acquiring Indians Jones... because Disney will just sell Indiana Jones to MS?
What?
There’s a reason Phil Spencer said they will fulfill existing contracts...
Ogbert
Member
Not if it was factored into the contractual discussions.
That’s why it cost so much.

They aren’t buying contracts, they are buying a company.
You are just speculating that Disney already has a new contract with MS for an exclusive Indiana Jones, and that doesn’t make any sense.
But hey will see, and once again it will be just as predicted.

The contracts he said they would honour are the ones involving Sony. So Deathloop. I imagine MS may well have offered to buy that too, but development was likely too far down the road.

All a company is *is* it’s contracts and IP.
Where exactly is Sony offered an obligation under the contract between Disney and Bethesda to develop an Indiana Jones game?

He didn’t specify, “existing contracts”.
And now you’re just into “Disney will sell exclusive rights to Ms because MS has a lot of money” and that’s just gibberish.

than thats the problem with your jargon, exclusive means one and exclusive game means one platform.

Ask me about my fanboy energy!
They also got all those OG Xbox console exclusive Star Wars games without buying Star Wars.

Disney already sold the rights to Bethesda.This has nothing to do with Disney anymore.
What exactly do you think MS spent all that money on?

just a reminder, the Bethesda deal is not yet finalised, until it is, ms and Bethesda are completely separate companies

We don't know anything about the Disney Bethesda deal - it may have specified platforms for one game, or not. It may have been more like Disney subcontracting the development of the game to a third party, with specific terms in the contract.
Nobody knows.
machinegames is a microsoft first party studio ..Bethesda is owned by ms (officially in less than 30 days). what deal? it will be xbox/pc exclusive 100%
Last edited:
it's a console exclusive. ..going forward lots of both party (ms and sony) will be on pc so be ready to get used to it
if u implying this game will be in other console platform outside xbox ..there's nothing to hope about and is starting to get tiring and seem like trolling at this point .

And the Temple of Poon
It's set in present day because of all the "literal" Nazis around.
I really hope they set it during the actual Indiana Jones years, and they don't make it some kind of "young indy" game.......
Overall, I'm hyped though!

“Sold the rights”, more like it’s a contract with Bethesda for them to develop and produce alongside Lucas, with the contract stipulating everything from development goals to target platforms.
MS can buy Bethesda out of the contract, but they can’t change the contract just because they bought Bethesda. How come you don’t understand this? This is basic.

My first thought on the Bethesda sale was that everything would be exclusive going forward, but the actual answer to your question is apparently not "Xbox exclusivity", it seems to be instead "GamePass market expansion" and "profit."
I'm too old-school to hold much hope that Elder Scrolls and Starfield and Indiana Jones will ever show up for my PlayStation with MS acquiring the company, but it's a strange new gaming market we live in now, and the major players aren't using all the old rules anymore

The game isn't ready to be shown, so it's nowhere near to get released (another year or two).
... by the time the game gets released, Microsoft will likely own Bethesda.

Maybe Sony will just say "fuck it" and let there be a gamepass app on PS5 , assuming MS wants that too. Strange times indeed

there is no such term, both companies are stupid for using it. Exclusive means one platform sir.
