Everybody has heard of L.A. Noire, the PS3 exclusive game being developed by Team Bondi. Many thought of L.A. Noire to be the Rockstar-Sony exclusive, this is, in fact, untrue as stated by Jack Tretton in an interview with Geoff Keighley.
In 2004 Team Bondi stated they've signed a "long-term exclusive" deal with Sony while in 2007 a supposed rumor started by Surfer Girl stated that Sony have pulled funding from L.A. Noire since they were "unimpressed" with the game.
I for one, believe the rumor to be false. The deal was announced in 2004 and the supposed rumor was started in 2007. In a 3 years time Sony would've poured millions of dollars into the project (assuming the project started in 2004). Why would Sony do this? Sure they've "canned" 8 Days and The Getaway, but they were first party titles so Sony could always go back to finishing the projects. L.A. Noire, however, is a third party title so how would Sony benefit from pulling the funding? They would not lose an exclusive title, but also millions of dollars.

CCG writes - "WiZmans World Re;Try has some really interesting things going for it, and some cool mechanics and visuals that few other JRPGs do. It is clear some real care and effort went into this game. However, between the sheer amount of inevitable, unavoidable grinding; the lack of depth to most of the combat; the just-okay music and sound effects; and the moral issues that really make me question how this game got away with an E10+ rating, it's difficult for me to recommend. This is definitely a "play with a podcast or Netflix binge-session on in the background" type of game, even if you are in love with the things that make this one stand out. If that's your cup of tea, then WiZman's World Re;Try will provide 35+ hours of it for a relatively reasonable cost."
It will be on PC and 360 as well
all i know its going to be awesome.
the title is very intriguing and i very much hope your speculation on the subject of exclusivity is correct :)
Hopefully L.A. Noire will regain their funding :)
