From Sept to Nov there will be 4 big FPS games.
Destiny - Sept 9
Evolve - Oct 21
COD:AW - Nov 4
Far Cry 4 - Nov 18
Destiny has the most hype. Being a New IP from Bungie and having successful Alpha and Beta testing periods. Destiny is the first Bungie game to be on a PlayStation console in a loooooong time, so that's given it even more hype. It's also the first big multiplat next-gen FPS since the lacklustre COD:Ghosts and BattleFail4 titles that launched with PS4 and XBO. Destiny will sell like hotcakes and its pre-orders are way ahead of the following 3 games.
Evolve won some Best of E3 awards and has a unique concept. It's made by the original L4D team and plays somewhat similar, with a heavy focus on co-op. This game flat out looks like a lot of fun, but I'm not sold on it's longevity. Since it relies heavily on a community, even for enemies, one has to wonder how big that community will be when it's releasing right before COD and FC4. Will this game still be worth playing a year after it comes out? It might get lost in the shuffle amongst the big boys.
COD:AW same old same old? I think so. It doesnt look like a big leap, considering the next-gen hardware. I was hoping for more. It's not being handled by Treyarch or Infinity Ward so it's quality is a bit unknown, but we can all guess exactly what this game will be like. Ghosts was a bit disappointing and COD in general may be on a downward trend. I'm not seeing a lot of hype for this game at all. But even so, it's still COD and it's going to sell a sh*tload.
Far Cry 4 is a darkhorse here with Battlefield not releasing this year and COD being a new subtitle from an unproven developer. If FC4 turns out to be as good as FC3, Ubisoft may be able to take advantage and steal some fans. FC3 was a pleasant surprise and hopefully Ubisoft can build off that and improve it even more. The PS4 exclusive "Keys to Kyrat" is a unique feature that let's people play the game for free if their friend sends them an invite. I wonder if that will hurt the sales at all. It's personally my most wanted game this year.
