Parker Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 So there are some rumors around that Bethesda and Microsoft are in talks to make Fallout 4 exclusive to the Xbone. Several details may have been revealed in regards to the upcoming rumored video game, “Fallout 4,” being exclusive to the Xbox One. According to a post from the NeoGAF forum on May 24, a user claimed that there has been some industry chatter around Bethesda Softworks signing a deal with Microsoft. As a result, “Fallout 4” could end up being one of the 15 exclusive titles that are being planned for release within the first year of the next-generation system’s lifespan. You can take a look at some screens from the predecessor, “Fallout 3,” in the slideshow at the top of this article. The aforementioned Bethesda Softworks is the company that will be responsible for publishing “Fallout 4.” They previously handled the releases for “Fallout 3” and “Fallout: New Vegas.” The potential exclusive deal wouldn’t be the first between Bethesda Softworks and Microsoft as the two previously teamed up for the timed exclusive releases of the expansion packs for “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.” “Fallout 4” currently does not have an official release date. Source: Examiner Personally, I don't think this will happen. EA have already said it was a bad idea to make Titanfall a Microsoft exclusive so I don't imagine other companies would want to make that same mistake. Plus with the PS4 and Xbone being so similar to develop for the Sony console wouldn't be getting a shitty port (hopefully) like we did in the 7th generation so for a little more work Bethesda will have over 7 million extra potential customers just by releasing it on the PS4 as well. If anything I think it will be like last gen and Microsoft will pay to get DLC early. Parker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrManBuz Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Yeah something like exclusive or early access to DLC seems more probable, I highly doubt Bethesda would be stupid enough to screw over the Sony guys (again) and the PC players especially. Doing something like that would be a PR disaster for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKX Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Well if it was exclusive it would be console exclusive. Either way, it'd NEVER happen. Look at how much the last two Fallout games sold on PS3 even though they ran like garbage. It would cost a fortune for MS to offset. I can guarantee no one is happy about how Titanfall turned out, so I seriously doubt any big dev with a proven IP is going to go exclusive like that again. B Tier and niche games maybe, but not something of this magnitude. Timed DLC at best. I just hope the rumors of Dragon's Dogma 2 being exclusive aren't true. I loved the first and Capcom is probably dumb enough to do it. Edited June 3, 2014 by graf1k 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyAssassin64 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Better flipping not be an exclusive... I would probably die 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) I don't mind if it's an exclusive since I own a One and I see no problem with Titanfall being an exclusive. How else are they supposed to try to get people to buy their system? Edited June 3, 2014 by Deth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRANGEgenius Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I doubt this would happen, but it seems possible. Its all rumors now though, who knows what it will actually be on when finally announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YTPerfectParadox Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I agree with you i dont think this will happen, fallout is such a majour title that is anticipated by many and from what i've read on the internet ps4 is where the majority of players are at so i cant see bethesda making it an exclusive. If microsoft could make this happen i dont know whether id be more made or impressed, fallout 4 on xbox one would pretty much be the only way id buy one but taking a new shiny fallout platinum from me would most likely cause me to riot haha.

Pyro Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Fallout 4 is one of the games I'm literally begging for being Fallout 3 was just mind blowing. Like most said about Bethesda they won't be stupid enough to follow in EA's direction. Also I don't know why people make exclusive games in general, I thought it's not as rewarding/profitable that releasing the game on most platforms. Can't we all just care and share for the love of gaming (slowly looks up to the sky and thinks to himself. What a beautiful sky ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBloodmoney Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 More likely that it is adeal to get dlc earlier than Playstation - just like they did with Fallout 3. If I was mirosoft I would be trying to tie up Fallout 4 as am exclusive, but I cant see it happening in the current climate - though its all about the money, and Microsofthave that...

StrickenBiged Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 It's not impossible. But M$ would have to throw a hell of a lot of money at Bethesda to make them consider missing out on all those juicy PS4 owners out there, who - lest we forget - some estimates say outnumber the XBone owners 1.5 to 1. I give Bethesda more credit than that but weirder things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubanga Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 The Xbox one is terrible they get fallout we get cod developed on our system they are the same position they were before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLamb858 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 It's been a few months since this was last posted. Any updates? I loooove Fallout and definitely won't buy an Xbox One so I really hope this isn't true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R25CCE Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I think Microsoft need to invest some money in creating their own studios instead of buying every IP left, right and center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devourerplease Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Pretty sure they'd alienate 90% of their fan base by doing so, considering Fallout began on the PC and, more importantly, has a ridiculous modding scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0ldbludedkillah Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I doubt it would happen but if it did i would buy it for my xbox one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2V89 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I feel it might be timed exclusive but hope this isn't true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 I feel it might be timed exclusive but hope this isn't true. Lets hope not. If anything I think it will be like last generation where the Xbox gets DLC first, I don't think they'll delay the whole game for the PlayStation. Of course after the Tomb Raider debacle I suppose I shouldn't be saying that... Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KratosTheMighty Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Depends on how desperate for sales microsoft gets.... The right amount of cash could make just about any game exclusive, timed or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daigashadokuro Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Clickbait 101: Practical Application. I simply can't take this seriously considering the vapid nature of journalism in the industry. This just reeks of clickbait... most likely The Examiner picked it up from one of those sites with less emphasis on artistic integrity *cough* Kotaku *cough*. Let's be real. An unnamed user on NeoGAF can talk all he likes but this is baseless rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razizo41 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I don't mind if it's an exclusive since I own a One and I see no problem with Titanfall being an exclusive. How else are they supposed to try to get people to buy their system? Not if its a big game like fallout. I didn't mind Titanfall because it was a new game and It started on Xbone and X360, but fallout.. fallout 3 was on all systems so if its sequel, or the next installment (however you want to call it) comes out on one system and one system only that would be a backstab to all the fans from multiple platforms. Same thing can be said if it were to be exclusive on ps4 only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
