Starwars Battlefront III: Marketing Jargon or Possible Exclusive?

I was reading through xbox.com this evening when I came across StarWars Battlefront!!! Next to the image it states:

Star Wars Battlefront - "A new high definition experience with all the amazing special effects, vehicle physics and gameplay intensity ONLY XBOX ONE can deliver."

As Seen Here:

Now call me stupid, but is this an early maybe Easter Egg! Its already been said that it will be shown at this years E3! Is this another one of Microsofts E3 surprises? I'm not 100% but I'm guessing maybe... Waiting on a response from others that I reached out to other with no answers!

The site used to read this next to the image:
(courtesy of hardcoregamer site by Ben Textor, Nov. 30, 2013)

“Relive and participate in all of the classic Star Wars battles like never before. Play as one of a number of different soldier types, jump into any vehicle, man any turret on the battlefront, and conquer the galaxy, planet by planet.”

As found here:
http://www.hardcoregamer.co...

As Hardcoregamer Ben Textor also states, "There are still tons of questions to be answered, of course. Will it be multi-platform? We can only assume, but with EA seeming to side so strongly with Microsoft, could it be exclusive to Xbox One?

This could be great news, for Xbox One and those of you who only have the X1. We know its targeting a release around StarWars Ep. VII, in 2015, as Battlefronthq.com has reported, from EA's Winter Meetings... Could they be using the cloud, DirectX12!!! All this has me really thinking maybe!!

What do you guys think? Does Microsoft have some huge reveals ahead of them? Is EA doing another Exclusive with Microsoft?

Marketing bull. The same stuff we saw last generation with the Kinect. Microsoft pushed their version as the ultimate version since it had Kinect.

I seriously doubt EA are making an exclusive deal. Firstly, the guy who initiated the Titanfall exclusivity has left and secondly I highly doubt EA would make that mistake again. It is easy to understand EA thinking the One would crush PS4 sales in the short term but by the time this game launches your not talking abut next year but the year after that (DICE only recently started working on it).

This will be Microsoft making a PR push (the description is fairly vague). I am not even sure if it will use the dedicated servers Microsoft is offering

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit18d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing18d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9218d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
