But if that is true then I can imagine a lot of pissed off people. it was confirmed by the devs that it would be coming to xbox, but if they just turn around and dont even put it on xbox, then i'm gone, I wont put up with a lying company.

This reeks of them knowing they already got most of the profits they are going to get from the Xbox community and now they are jumping over to ps4 with added bonuses where they will have a totally untouched user base. Not impressed at all if gamerant is accurate here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaCHooKaMan Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 It looks like Sony paid for short term exclusivity https://twitter.com/SusanCStieglitz/status/723202449960366082 It's pretty disappointing that Sony paid to get the mode first when we've supported the game since December. I probably won't be playing the game anymore by the time it comes out on Xbox though. I've already significantly reduced my playing time over the past couple weeks. It just doesn't have the same magic as it used to. I guess that just happens sometimes after playing a game 1000+ hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC has it, so that totally debunks that thing in general. All that they've confirmed is that it releases on PS4 July 19th 2016. PC is not a "console". The term console exclusive is used all the time for games on a console/PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be after PS4 according to Susan Stieglitz. Sony apparently paid them for short-term exclusivity. Probably because they don't support game previews and a bunch of PS4 players are upset about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they may of had a decent amount from pc but xbox really pushed their profits through the roof. For the first time I'm actually disappointed with Wildcard. I understand the whole alpha issues, the whole delayed patches, but this to me is very poor. At the same time I haven't played the game in weeks and probably will never play sotf anyways, just my views on the subjects these days as I support this game.

Administrator Jeremy Stieglitz Posted April 21, 2016 Administrator Share Posted April 21, 2016 Just wanna note that Sony didn't pay for timed exclusivity. The reason for releasing SotF onto PS4 first is the necessity of publicly testing and optimizing the shared ARK codebase on PS4 in advance of the full Survival Evolved game release, and iterating on that PS4 codebase through a wide release. We're just not large enough to do that effectively without the help of the public ARK community. As mentioned, it'll also hit Xbox One later on! Also Xbox players, please stay tuned for some large news updates tomorrow that will be of particular interest to you Thanks all, Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LONEWOLF231 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Well hopefully that announcement is just as big as this exclusive deal and not just another "we have a new patch in coming with more dinosaurs!" As much as i like said updates we need more, we need events cause quite frankly the game is going dry without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that means that the xbox version will also be a standalone game. Now I have to retract my comments from earlier! As these were based on the assumption that Sony had exclusivity for a while due to other reasons, not because of needing to test the game before full release. I know I shouldn't trust everything I read, but kinda did point this direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS we have been doing so from day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonLordCronos Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Im on ps4 and could care less about SOTF I just wanna play the main game alone and explore. Timed exclusives happen all the time everyone relax, besides watching xbox users on twitch has helped me learn which dinos are the most useful.
