That all makes a lot of sense. Only question is whether Disney is willing to accept a big payment from a desperate MS.

For me it makes much more sense to make it a 6-12 month timed exclusive. Putting it on Xbox and GamePass day one kills this games' sales and hype.
I could see a timed exclusive strategy. MS gets their system seller and Disney gets to double dip from Playstation sales later on.

Let's see how Judge from ERA will react.
Because he hit hammer there saying if nothing is said Microsoft games is to be taken as exclusive.

Wild that such a large general gaming forum has leadership that is so blatantly biased towards a particular platform. I wonder why the remaining Playstation fans on there even stay.

Marvel and Disney might not be willing to license their IPs to be exclusive anymore—kind of like what MLB did.

Or they know MS customers are broke AF.

"System seller."

That would make a lot of sense imo, they get paid from MS and still get Playstation sales, but those tweets from that Alex Smith dude make me wonder if this is multiplatform. That and the fact that Xbox is so quiet on the promotional front.

After seeing this motion capture picture for the game, I'm confident that Arkane Lyons will produce a game that can compete with Spider-man and Wolverine.

Weird to announce it before all that's settled. Guess they just really wanted to look like big shots at the game awards, lol.
it isn’t weird. They want to hire people to work on the game, most likely.
And there’s a chance this game is multiplat.
I’ll love the meltdowns if it actually is.

It won't be exclusive unless Microsoft payed alot of money because they have to make all their exclusive games gamepass day 1 & I'm sure Disney wouldn't agree to that without alot of money , Sony won't be allowed to put wolverine on ps plus

They should add it to the premium library (with the option to buy) I remember playing soul reaver on ps1 didn't get very far & was abit scared 🤣
I was thinking that they should make new games or total reimaginings of the old games. I think Santa Monica Studio would do a great job.

Where it’s at.
Blade is a great IP for me, I'd be surprised of those who saw the original trilogy knew it was based off comics. I think the studio is good but it is not in their normal wheelhouse so I'll reserve judgement. I would have expected Xbox to go bigger IP wise for the casuals.
It ain’t exactly like Xbox is in a position where they can pick and choose. They have to take what they can get.

Window central went from outright saying it's exclusive to Xbox out the gate then redacted the statement and now are saying "well both side are actually still negotiating." To me this keeps getting fishy by the minutes. Announcing a game at a big stage when you haven't even lock down the exclusivity is something I don't recall happening often in the industry. 9 out of 10 times when a timed exclusive title get announce the exclusivity of the platform is right there front and center since the negotiation has already occurred way way beforehand of the game getting announce. Still leaning it will be exclusive to Xbox but then again Xbox has blundered easy lay ups in front of them.
