@Nintyfan Do we really need to be extra specific in this kind of talk? I don't think anyone here or anyone that has at least a little bit of game industry knowledge, doesn't know that there hasn't been any actual platform exclusives on the XBOX side of things since 2015 (as in ONLY on XBOX ONE).
I think majority of people know when someone states an XBOX exclusive, that the person is actually reffering to the term known as ''console exclusive'' (meaning only on XBOX ONE and PC).
The only questionable thing that remains is whether or not will it be a timed platform exclusive (meaning it would be soley on XBOX series X for certain ammount of time), before releasing on PC platform.
Also...
''And if anyone actually thinks 'but can you play it on PlayStation?' counts as 'exclusive', you can go ahead and excuse yourself from the discussion as you've nothing of importance to add.''
This statement doesn't make much sense.Care to elaborate or rephrase yourself?
@Shepard93n7 It was interesting experience for me, it varies from person to person. It is no Uncharted 4 or God Of War from this gen, to be sure, still considering it came from a small indie studio i was quite impressed.
@Shepard93n7 Really doubt it, considering Ninja Theory is now first-party developer for Microsoft. There is a chance, Ninja Theory signed a contract specifically for Hellblade II to be a timed exclusive, but again i highly doubt it.
I know it is unfair towards the Playstation fans of the first game (where the majority of Hellblade fanbase is, from what i've learned), and it's kind of a low move by Microsoft, but these bussiness practices are nothing new in the industry.

Re: Xbox Series X Has a Share Button, Hellblade Sequel
@Aexurion Just out of curiousity where did you hear that about Hellblade 2 being a timed exclusive, with a possibility of ending up on PS5 later?
