Manifold Garden will release on Xbox Series X|S as a next-gen upgrade at launch via Smart Delivery due to limited Dev Resources [Check Threadmarks]
- Thread starter Ryo Hazuki
- Start date
I really think it's time this forum stopped immediately assuming that non-day and date releases of games are moneyhats. You all keep making yourselves look foolish.
Cf my edit, what the Manifold Garden rep is saying says it all
Can't talk about PS5 patch.
"Stay tuned".
Smh
Literally, for the record:
Don't use logic.
Just like the Football Manager thread were people kept saying that MS paid to have the game on Xbox and not on PS5 when in reality the devs didn't get PS5 dev kits
It looks bad when people just assume stuff is moneyhatted and devs have to come forward and clarify things, maybe wait for more info before making assumptions and judging devs?
Montresor had it right and someone even mocked him...

Ok what made you guys choose MS instead of Sony for this first update ?
Good luck, I hope the game has sold well and continues to on next gen.
Unless there is evidence to the contrary, Yakuza's timed exclusivity indicates some kind of a deal.
??? I'm still laughing at people not believing about Yakuza 7 being a timed exclusive.
congrats to whichever doofy youtuber made up "moneyhat" for managing to maker gamer culture even worse.
My condolences to the devs.
My condolences to the devs.
its ERA, what do you expect lol. people here defend its plastic more than its live sometimes
I don't understand what you're trying to say
Edit:
NVM just saw the threadmark
Whoa! Chill out Billy! The tweets weren't showing for me.
I understand the situation now. I love Manifold Garden.
The evidence was Imran Khan on this very forum stepping forward to state otherwise.
Football Manager: Accused of moneyhatting. Then, we just learned the developer didn't have a PS5 devkit.
Yakuza: People tried to distort what Imran Khan said so it looked like moneyhatting. The money involved was a marketing deal, nothing else.
Manifold Garden: moneyhatting! Then, the producer confirms there was no money involved and this is purely a resource decision.
When will we learn to not assume everything is "moneyhatting"?

Developer chimes in the topic to explain it is purely a resource decision, yet some of you are so fucking invested in an imaginary war that you say they're doing "damage control" and think MS is moneyhatting random nextgen patches.
What the fuck is wrong with some of you?
Common reasons to port a title to one platform aside from money or marketing are:
1- got a devkit
2- easier for the particular game
3- expect to sell more on platform
for all three, devs probably aren't gonna say to maintain their relationships with all platform holders
funny to see everyone saying about MS moneyhating but forgets about sony doing the same with FFXVI, spider man DLC on avengers, deathloop, etc etc etc lol.
Pot...
Oh sure, maybe actual cash was not exchanged and it's just "financial arrangements" including marketing push.
But let's call a spade a spade.
I'm pretty sure they're just covering their bases because they've just said their resources are spread pretty thin so it'll be irresponsible to talk about something they probably haven't planned for yet.
Welp there it is guys lol, what was the last one of these ? Oh yea Yakuza lol
just like the Yakuza thread lol
Shit needs to fucking stop. You want devs to stop coming to this enthusiast forum, this is how you stop them coming.
"Time Exclusive" does make it sounds like a deal was made. Poor choice of words perhaps. Haters will latch on to anything unfortunately.
Stay tuned for PS5 updates as we can't really talk about that up until a random date in the future that's probably six months from now but that's just a coincidence!!!!

Sorry, not sure if I'm missing something, but this seems almost identical to the tweet in the opening post from the creator and developer of Manifold Garden. I just chose to source the creator rather than the game account.
Will do. You're being needlessly obstinate and acting like a fool.
What is this nonsense? You've just had it explained to you the reasons for this. Just stop trying to turn it into something it's not.
Some shameful posts in here.
Anyway, looking forward to this update. I picked it up last month based on a recommendation in one of the Xbox threads and would recommend it to anyone.

Have Sony had timed patches or bought a whole publisher?
Anyway, will be interesting to see why the resources went to Xbox first, gamepass title? Either way all the best for the game launch.
This game was really interesting I got it on PC but it gets so convoluted. I eventually just ended up not knowing what I needed to do and going back I get even more confused. If I ever want to finish it I will need to restart from scratch I guess.
Further clarification on Xbox Series X|S version, future PS5 upgrade, further upgrade info
Hey all, just a few last bullet points here to help clear things up. I appreciate all the questions and discussion about the game! The Xbox Series X version of Manifold is something I was the project lead on and I'm super passionate about it. I can't wait until next week when we have footage and more details to show.
- We can't talk about the business realities such as why we're on Xbox first vs PlayStation, who authored what language, etc. I can however be clear - no deal was signed, nor money changed hands, regarding a next-gen upgrade policy. We were working on the Series X|S version, and it was ready for launch (in fact, it's already live for anyone with the hardware as of today.) No conspiracy theories here.
- The fact that our PlayStation answer is "stay tuned" comes from us, not any of our business partners. We don't want to talk about things until we have details and an announcement ready.
- While the contents of it may be redundant for many on this forum who keep up to date with how these programs work, we put together an FAQ about the Xbox console upgrade process in relation to Manifold Garden, as well as the Series X|S versions of the game, that you can find here. Again, hardcore industry followers aren't necessarily the target audience, but you can hopefully find something of value there!
I guess you must've missed that entire thread on that, cant blame you because they closed it soon as it got debunked lol.
And you're being at best naive or at worst willfully obtuse.
But I'm done with this, really no point.
If we needed any extra proof this person is NOT in good faith, there it is.
He is now accusing the developers of this game to be receiving money from Microsoft, despite the fact the producer said there's no money involved and that there is only FIVE - i said F I V E - people on their team :)
It was announced as a timed exclusive.Yakuza was so clear the whole time, Microsoft must be the one pushing for this kind of transparency as there was never any doubt about what was happening with that game's exclusivity arrangement, right?
i wish it would have stopped there, and not people putting on their tinfoil hat and reading in between the words to imply the dev is lying. shameful.
