Deej and Cozmo: Clarification on PS Exclusives please!

Deej was [url=https://youtu.be/o46JXy1Wzm0]speaking with Destin[/url] from IGN and mentioned that details regarding exclusives could be found on the [url]www.destinythegame.com[/url] website. After digging around a bit (seriously, it's not clear where to look), I found [url=https://www.destinythegame.com/sony-playstation-exclusives]this page[/url] which looks like it's got the info we're looking for. The problem is, every single thing on that page - whether it was introduced in Taken King or is planned for Rise of Iron - is tagged with the single asterisk that at the bottom of the page says "Timed exclusive until at least Fall of 2017." The stuff from Taken King was supposed to be available to Xbox players this fall, I thought? Because on [url=https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/destiny-ps4/exclusive-content/]Sony's Destiny page[/url], it mentions "Timed exclusive until at least Fall 2016." Granted, it looks like that needs to be updated because the content on that page also includes Rise of Iron as well as TTK content, but clearly Fall of 2016 was on the timeline at one point. So you can understand the confusion, right? What's actually exclusive, and for how long? Will TTK stuff become available to Xbox players this fall as expected, or has that been delayed until next year? Can you guys please let us know? EDIT: Please make sure and respond/upvote so that this topic reaches Deej and Cozmo's attention. Thanks!

  • D2 should be coming out around that time so who cares. I would probably still use my Mida over the Jade and my spindle over the Zen anyway.

    • I'm on PS4, and I don't understand why we should have exclusives for a whole year. It seems ridiculous. We certainly shouldn't have exclusives for over a year.

      • I think everyone who is on Xbox should stop playing destiny for a week. Might send a message to bungie and Activision when they notice wait what where did r Xbox players go.

        • If the ps exclusives don't come to xbox, then I'm simply not buying ROI. Funny thing is I don't even care for the exclusives.

        • I'm not sure what weapons are exclusives only from Rise of Iron, but I can wait another year for Jade Rabbit & Zen Meteor. They really aren't all that great. There are far better choices. It always seems like we us Xbox players keep complaining about this topic, yet... PlayStation hasn't really had anything that was extremely worth dying over. Black Garden strike for instance. People (PS3/4 players) used to complain so much about it being the nightfall in Y1. And every time I get that strike, I usually quit. It's just boring and an overwhelming and annoying amount of taken, vex or precursors start spawning. Exodus Blue. This map is just so terrible. I like open, large maps but it seems Bungie isn't so great at making those. This map could be big but there's so much shit in the way. You get caught on something too easily (as with any map) and this is an awful map for Trials and Iron Banner. Sector 618. One word: shotguns. I heard this map is so small everyone uses a shotgun and hides around corners. Someone literally once told me, "there is a shotgun lane around every corner and a sniper lane outside every shotgun lane" lol or something like that. Echo Chamber. Once again when TTK first came out. I heard a lot of people complain about how hard this strike was and how annoying it is because of some relic you have to use to beat the boss. Psion Flayers. This strike is really easy but the again, the Taken version (of anything) is quite annoying. Too many enemies spawning. Shit just going on everywhere. Someone's bound to die. Although the flayers can each be one shot by celestial nighthawk+deadeye (without any modifiers) and can also be spammed with raze-lighter it's still a boring and annoying strike. If you ask me, PlayStation can keep their exclusives. I love Scout Rifles so I'd probably be using Jade Rabbit but I won't absolutely miss not having it. After all of that complaining, haha.... I could care less. [b]Although[/b], an absolute [u]year[/u] or two of exclusives are insane!

            • I'm more annoyed by the lack of an official statement than anything. Just give me the reason for this, I'll take "we wanted more money" over silence.

            • This is pretty ridiculous. Two year exclusives make no sense to me. I don't think people are choosing their consoles on what exclusives destiny has but rather where their friends play. I'm on Playstation and think this is hilariously stupid.

              • At least take us on a date Bungie before you f[b]u[/b]ck us Xbox users. [spoiler]all serious though, it bothers me on an small scale, we Xbone users bought the same game yet get the exclusive crap "AT LEAST" a year later, that happened with the Hawkmoon and other crap when we got ttk, why go back on your promise bungo pls, buy us lube next time before you screw us liek this.[/spoiler]

              • What I understand is this... PlayStation wants to lure the last gen people who are upgrading to current gen. What better way than to hold their exclusive license. It really is a business. A business about games. Well played Sony. I get the frustration. I'll admit that. Admit you get the business aspect of it and there we have transparency.

                  Here's their clarification statement: "We (Activision/Bungie) took money from Sony to keep certain content out of the hands of Xbox gamers even though Xbox gamers paid the same amount for the game and its expansions. We also make them wait a full year before we release the content on Xbox except for the arbitrary 2 years which is hidden from gamers in vague fine print." Thanks for your money, Activision/Bungie

                  • Deej and Cosmo have nothing no to do with what is done outside of their scope of work. It's Activision and Sony doing business and Bungie executes per contract. It's just business and although some may not like it again it's a business model/practice to draw added interest to a product. I would love be to play recore however it's not coming to PS4. I would love to play rise of the tomb raider but hey have to wait until it's release to PS4 as Microsoft had exclusive rights to the game on their platform first... It's just business. Never did play Halo as its a Microsoft baby. So my choices as a consumer is to voice my opinions where I can and take my money to where I can enjoy it and for me it's on PS4. Personally I would love for both platforms to have same content and also be able to play against them as well as the social aspect of Destiny is right up there along with the game play minus the various fixes or balancing acts which brings new and improved bugs to the zoo.

                      • Bumping for transparency from Bungie!! PS4 player here so I guess it doesn't really effect me, but Xbox players deserve to know how badly they are gettin shafted - at least they can lube up in preparation

                        • Posts like this are probably why they don't come on here more often. Children who can't get their head round business and post walls of drivel pretending they do.

                        • Although it seems confusing, I believe you will see the PS exclusives on xbox360/1 one year after they were introduced on PS. Rabbit this fall, Meteor next spring, and ROI exclusives fall 2017. You can always wait till ROI is released before you buy. If the exclusives are a deal breaker, don't buy. Speak with your wallet.

                          • Calling it. They are just screwing around and the exclusives will be scheduled for release in Rise of Iron.

                          • I just want to know what the actual purpose is for doing this? Surely when they do become available then destiny 2 will be out? So why would we go back??
