| Zappykins said: I think if Microsoft had just cut 5-10 minutes of sports and showed a few more games - or even trailers of games, there would be a much different response. Remember that tiny short animation of Link from the Pre-WiiU days? Just a few snip-its more would have made it better. Those 30 seconds of the Remedy game provided much excitement. I just got really tired of Sports. It's just not my thing. Sure, many people like it, and it should really help sell the system. I think many gamers just aren't really into sports - or they wouldn't be inside playing games. |
MS told us upfront the games would come at E3. The launch event was console vision as a whole, which they delivered. A little preview of all the different console envirionment features, from TV to UI to Kinect features to games. Just what they said they would do.
And at E3 we're going to get buried in games. People forget that a dozen good titles in year one of launch window is a windfall of games. Consoles usually launch with 5, 6 games?
I don;t know why people are expecting 30 titles or something on the first day of a console campaign. It's completely ridiculous. They can;t produce quality games that fast, and if they blow out all their devs in the first 6 months, they're going to have nothing new for 16-24 months minimum after that, and then everyone will wonder where the games went.
It's not like they can run over to Radio Shack and pick up a AAA-title kit and whip something out over the weekend. Think about when they finalized specs and firmware (if it is indeed even finalized) and then think about getting the games up and running and polished/not buggy enough to make a good impression. I'd be amazed if either company has more than 4 or 5 games even close to that stage at this point. Games miss the launch windows ALL the time trying to get things right under new systems/engines/console parameters. Look how many miss their target dates a decade into a cycle.
A lot of you are compltely unrealistic in your expectations, so you're going to be disappointed no matter what in terms of seeing software early.
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
