720 and PS4 SHOULD launch with MW4 unavailable on PS3 and 360, but that will never happen, and gears is looking to go multi platform.

PS4 gets Versus 13 or Last guardian, possibly Uncharted 4

I honestly don't know what else 720 can launch with, as far as I know Halo is their only 1st pary game.


What game is that pic in your sig from?

 

OT: They should make the last guardian a Ps4 launch title as well as FF Versus and Metal gear solid ground zero or et least get these games out in the first year. That should move some consoles. Maby throw in an Uncharted or KZ.

Also if ps720 release this year they should make sure they got all the yearly games and big third partys like Cod and Ac day one and not late ports like we saw with the wii u.

Personally i dont really care as long as i get at least one good rpg, but i'm probably not gonna buy at lauch anyway.

Yeah pretty much agree with you. Also the pic is from Fire Emblem Awakening, RPG for 3DS coming Feb 4th.

i dont think sony will have a problem when it comes to exclusives in their first year.


-naughty dog (uncharted team) released UC3 in 2011, so by 2014 they would have had enough time to release a new game
- media molecule LBP2 released in Q1 2011, also enough time to make a game by launch or launch window
-sucker punch infamous2 mid 2011, so a mid 2014 release window is likely is well
- santa monica, if they really are two teams now they had since Q1 2010 to release make a game, that would be about 4 years
- Guerrilla Games - reportedly a two team studio as well now, making killzone 4 and a new IP. killzone3 released in Q1 2011 so thats about two and half years to release a game and more time to release the other
- Ready At Dawn, they made the Two GoW games on the PSP and are now making a "next gen" game. it was said before that its an action adventure tittle, GoW ghost of sparta released in 2010, so they would have had more than enough time to make their game by launch date

these are six very talented studio's that can make diverse games and big hits. each one of them also released their last game at either 2011 or 2010 so they had enough time to make exclusive games set to release within the first year of the PS4

Offcourse, COD MW4 (definitive console experience)

No way MW4 is going to be limited to nextbox and PS4 (if launched) Activision isnt gonna throw away the 150mil user base of Ps3 and 360.

Didnt say that. But MS is surely gonna say that this is the best version on consoles. And marketing will say that too.

The bros will buy a next Xbox for sure lol

We're all seeing how the Wii U is struggling right now - and that's even with a 2D Mario releasing with the console. Since this is one of Nintendos best selling franchises ever it's quite a surprise that Wii U is selling so poorly. Or is it? Is a 2D Mario the best possible launch title of a new Nintendo console?

This got me thinking about what launch titles each console NEEDS at the very get go - whether it's Nintendo or Sony or Microsoft.

What titles SHOULD Wii U have had?
I guess Nintendo should have had a 3D Mario, a Zelda, a Mario Kart or a Supper Smash Bros ready for launch since 2D Mario isn't really cutting it.

What launch titles WILL PS4 need to sell well?
And as for PS4, Sony would probably do well to launch that system with a new GT, a new Uncharted or a new GoW, and it looks as if only Uncharted is a probability for the PS4 launch right now...

What launch title WILL Xbox720 need to sell well?
And the x3ox should have a Halo or a GeoW, and perhaps to a lesser degree, a Fable/Forza game at launch - but I don't see ANY of those games making it to the launch...

I'm talking about 1st party games, NOT 3rd party support - unless it's an exclusive.

My thinking is that any new system needs a game that shows off what the system is capable of. For The Wii it was Wii Sports; it didn't have better graphics compared to the gen before, but it showed a NEW way to play.

 

So, to sum it all up; REALISTICALLY, what games should PS720 launch with, and what games would have done better than 2D Mario on the Wii U?? 

They will have had 3 years to work on a new gt when ps4 launches.  I think they can get it out by 2014.  GG, suckerpunch, and media molecule will have had over 2 years to work by the time ps4 launches this fall so they could all have games for launch or early 2014 along with ND

I don't believe in using sequels to established franchises as launch titles. These games preform much better a year or two down the road. Instead a console launch should correlate with ip launches.

Microsoft needs a HD in all its glory shooter, Sony needs a breathtakingly awesome action game, and Nintendo needs to remind us why less is more. Tada, that's it.

I think Destiny (Bungie) is going to be Microsoft's big 720 launch title and it will be timed exclusive. Star Wars 1313, Watch Dogs, CoD: Modern Warfare 4, Battlefield 4, Madden NFL, FIFA, etc. will be multiplats.

But all of those are multiplat and will push sales for the other systems as well. What exclusive games can push the launch of PS720?


Destiny will be huge IMO, but Microsoft will have others too I'm sure Sony will too. Kinda hard to predict. Perhaps something new from Epic as well (Gears of War last time). 

Also I think CoD/Star Wars 1313/MGS Ground Zeroes, etc. yes they will be on PS3/360, but the PS4/720 versions will basically be the "real" versions, those games are made for higher end PC hardware and will be gimped down to fit the old systems. 

I haven't seen or heard anything about Destiny. All I think I know is that it'll be a new shooter, and as such it'll probably do well.

But having those games on BOTH PS4 and xbox720 (and maybe even Wii U - one can dream, right?!) won't give one console much edge over the other. What exclusives do you think they need to do well?

It's hard to say with Microsoft and even Sony to an extent, because they don't rely on older franchises as much. The 360 really gave birth to the phenomenon of Call of Duty right from its launch, which I don't think anyone predicted. 

Destiny is not a shooter it's more like a sci-fi fantasy, think Star Wars (original trilogy). Here's some artwork from it:

Hey, that kinda looks awesome!! Damnit... If that turns out to be super good and exclusive I'll have to get me a x3ox...

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
