Capcom: third party platform exclusives still alive and feasible |
Ó
Is console exclusivity dead? Far from it, says Capcom's vice president of marketing, Nique Fajors. In a phone interview with Next Generation, Fajors said that exclusive titles are not dead, and that factors like "economics, consumer interest and unique playability" play a role on whether an exclusive title would be successful or not.Some think that developing for a single console is not such a hot idea these days as there is no clear winner in this generation's console war and consumers are not as loyal as they used to be. But Fajors says, "Exclusives are driven by gameplay functionality and cost. If you get your gameplay functionality and costs right, exclusivity can work."
Capcom has a couple of ex-exclusive titles (Lost Planet and Devil May Cry 4) but Fajors explained that Capcom has "so many viable options for development, and consumers have so many choices." The giant developer still has quite a list of platform exclusives though, like Phoenix Wright and Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure.
Can we expect more platform exclusives? What do you think about titles going multiplatform?

Till you short-sighted cash whores decide to bring Monster Hunter back to the PS3 you guys can Eff - Off :(
Please you had a choice to make DMC4 exclusive and you turned your back on Sony for money. Its ok to get a good amount but when you let money control you your no better money grubbing politicians in the states. You turned your back on the Sony brand and now you can't even make a decent game on the PS3, they all sucked so far.
Capcom is just not the same as before...
