Grasshopper and Digital Reality's Sine Mora now an XBLA exclusive
A slight change of plans for Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality's upcoming downloadable shooter, Sine Mora: it'll only be downloadable on Xbox. The two companies announced today that the "diesel-punk" time-shifting shmup is now an XBLA exclusive, despite its original status as both an XBLA and PSN release. There is still no known release date for the side-scroller.
That makes two upcoming XBLA exclusives for Suda 51's studio. The upcoming Diabolical Pitch is a de facto exclusive both because it's being published by Microsoft Studios, and because it's Kinect-based.
