Silent Hill 2 Remake(March 21st 24?) PS5/PC 12 months[maybe forever] exclusive

Why is Sony keeping this off Xbox for a year?


Cause they love consumers
Same reason why MS kept The Medium off PS in the beginning.

But not for at a year like Sony.

Also helped that MS got specs and dev kits out first so BT could focus on the Xbox version (note the game was all but canned until MS have them the planned S/X specs).
This is also why it's taken Football Manager so long to come to PS5, Sony acted like dicks to the devs by not sending them kits when requested.
 
The Medium sucked. But besides that,
this is an established franchise not a new IP from an independent studio.

I thought noone cared about remakes so isn't it worse to make a complete new IP exclusive 😆

This is the same independent studio who made The Medium so who knows it may suck too 😅

Wow 2 more months. The Medium was exclusive for 10 months.
 
PS5 had their dev kits out earlier than Xbox.


Sony only sent them out to studios they see as key devs.
The FM team mentioned when FM22 was coming out that Sony simply ignored them when they requested the dev kits hence it not being on PS.
Indie devs have also said Sony treats them as afterthoughts this gen which is one reason why so many appear on Xbox and Switch first.

Or they sent them out to those who were developing games for them. Just like MS.

Funny because Sony has a lot of Indies out this gen too. Many that came out on PlayStation right at launch. They had no issues.

I mean I can keep sharing links if you want?


"... to make games for a platform, you need a dev kit," Jacobson said. "To get a dev kit, the platform holder have to want the game on the platform. We spoke with Sony, we have no dev kits. We spoke with Microsoft, they sent them to us."


Again.. you can't make something if you aren't giving the tools.

"Our friends at @Xbox have spent years asking for us to come back to their consoles. It's how both FM19 & FM20 ended up on gamepass towards the end of the cycle, and now FM21 on Xbox One & Series X/S.

Sony didn't"


Konami/Sony making this exclusive to PS for a year is simply dumb.

So where's the link where Sony didn't send their dev kits out to Bloober team to make The Medium for simultaneous launch as Xbox?

Are you trying to extrapolate FM's case to Bloober and every Xbox indie exclusive since launch?
 
In the end because they started working with MS after they got the Specs for the S/X but not the PS5. The devs talked about it during development.
But it wasn't a 10 month deal just ended up being that long due to several factors.
The medium was all but dead after they failed to get it working on Wii U/360/PS3.

If you aren't AAA Sony don't care



Back to SH2 in guessing the split in 2 parts stuff is dead?
 
I thought the medium was simply a timed exclusive MS paid for?

Yup, just like this 12 months deal.


"And what about the current Xbox console exclusivity? Will The Medium come to PS5, just as Blair Witch eventually came to PS4? "For now we are just focusing on Xbox and PC," says Zięba. We'll have to wait and see on that one."

Basically saying we aren't allowed to talk about that yet until the exclusivity deal is done.

^this is true
 
Never played this so if it's faithful then it's going to be good based on what I've been hearing.
