Did everybody forget about Sunset Overdrive? We haven't seen true gameplay of it but I can just sort of tell. It's too "out there" for its own good.

Anyway here's my list.

Ryse, Knack, Sunset Overdrive, Killer Instinct, Project Spark. Pretty much every Xbox One exclusive this year. They all look like corny BS that MS is just putting out so they can say they have exclusives. Even Dead Rising 3 looks pretty meh. And Forza 5, well they have kinda run the Forza franchise into the ground, but critics will overrate it like they did with the others.

So yeah, pretty much 4/5 of the Xbox One's exclusive library and 1 exclusive PS4 game.

Well for starters Sunset Overdrive isn't launch. And like you said you havn't seen gameplay, how can you possibly judge.

Run Forza into the ground? The franchise has never gone below 90 (not counting horizon, different game, different team) how is it run into the ground?

Project Spark looks great for what it is, free to boot.



 

Wasn't impressed by Sunset Overdrive at E3 but I think it wasn't a launch game.
To the guys who voted for Killer Instinct: There is a thread on GAF about it and some people already could play KI and they were all quite impressed by the game-mechanics, the visuals and especially the sound. I think it will surprise many people.
DriveClub could come out as a mediocre game. I am looking forward to comparisons to Forza Horizon.



Why so much Knack hate?

I hope that all launch games will review above average, considering that they are supposed to sell a system(s) to us.



The Elder Scrolls Online. I played a bit of the Beta, and the whole game just lags like crazy on my laptop and desktop. Plus everything seems so robotic. I'll stick with Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn since I've already made a commitment to it when it was first released. I just think that the Elder Scrolls Online is going to get bad reviews due to the game's mechanics. It just doesn't seem to be optimized that well, but it'll have until next year to get polished.

I dont think a single launch game will score lower than a 70.

M$ and $ony will en$ure this, yes.



Ryse,Knack and DriveClub.



Ryse will score a 55 on Metacritic.

Quantum Break will score a 68 on Metacritic.

Knack will score a 70 on Metacritic.

I think Ryse will shock many of you and review quite well. Only games I think could receive some serious lashes are Knack, Killer Instinct, and DriveClub. I just don't imagine them being hits with the critics.

Killzone: ShadowFall, Dead Rising 3, Forza 5, and WATCH_DOGS will do well, though.


I concur
