Lookin' damn good. While I haven't yet finished Killer7, I've enjoyed the portions I played through thoroughly.
I need to play some more Killer 7...
Quote:Wii-exclusive game
Hahahahaha, remember when Killer7 was a GameCube-exclusive game? Hahahahahaha.
I was thinking that too, but let's hope that this time its... a little bit more exclusive than last time was? :)
Hey if we are talking "exclusive" not meaning "exclusive", don't forget the XBox. That poor system has had more "exclusive" games released within a year of their initial release on another system than anything. Well, at least games that were originally supposed to make the system a "must have". Halo 1 (though they took out co-op), MGS2 Substance, Fable, KOTOR, KOTOR 2 (well that one was never meant to be exclusive), and now Jade Empire (which was really VERY highly advertised as "truly exclusive"), and a LOT of them were ported to various other systems with better content. Very few had that problem fixed (KOTOR had a downloadable bonus pack released and Fable had a better version released). It is a very cautious thing to buy an exclusive game for that system unless it is first or second party, and in the case of Halo 1 even that isn't enough...
DJ, PC ports don't count for exclusivity. They should, I know, but companies have always ignored them... for instance, "N64 exclusive" games that also came out on PC such as Rogue Squadron, Battle for Naboo, and Extreme-G 2...
Don't count according to whom? Companies pretend they don't count, but as you and I both acknowledge, they have very poor reasoning there.
As far as I'm concerned, if it's ported to PC, it isn't exclusive any more.
Further, Bioware themselves have said similar. I mean when they were talking about various projects a while ago they did specifically mention that "this is going to be exclusive to XBox, this will be exclusive to PC, and this will be released on both systems (in reference to Jade Empire, their upcoming project, and KOTOR 2 respectively).

According to all the game publishers, at least in that console generation... I'm sure that a lot of the titles that were PSX-and-PC only were also considered "PSX exclusive" even though they really weren't... (Megaman X5, Future Cop LAPD, Need for Speed III/High Stakes, etc...)
Now, you are kind of right... I think Rogue Squardron 3D (the PC version's name) came out a few months after the N64 one, in a 'limited exclusivity' thing, but it still was certainly called "N64 exclusive" by Nintendo, on the N64 version box, etc.
Now, I know -- that's all just marketing-speak. Like how GBA ports of SNES games get "Only for GBA" logos on them because there was some minimal change to the title... it's just to get people to think that the game can only be found on that platform (and thus buy it!) -- even if that's just not really true.
Final Fantasy 7 came out on the PC.
And 8, but I wasn't trying to list every game that was called exclusive but actually was ported, there are many more I'm sure...
