Release better exclusives than the competition and they already do that, so I am fine.


I'm honestly curious, this is not to pick on you, but what do you see in Microsoft's exclusives, because I don't see much.  Ryse looks like the blandest combat ever, with nothing but quick time events, Killer Instinct is not up to par with current gen fighting games like Injustice and Mortal Kombat.  We don't know much about Quantum Break or Sunset Overdrive so can't say much about those.  Crimson Dragon looks awsome I will give you that.  I don't see anything in Forza 5 that distinguishes it from other racers, and Titanfall is not an exclusive.  With Sony I feel they have announced a balanced line up of exclusives, with a good variety of generes, and they said they still have more to announce, I don't think Mirosoft has anything left.  inFamous Second Son looks so awsome, I loved the first two and  this one looks like a lot of fun, Drive Club has that soial feature so I guess that helps it stand out from other racers, but I'm still waiting to see more from that game.  Always good to see new platformer ips like Knack.  I'm inbetween on Killzone Shadow Fall, it looks amazing graphics wise, but still waiting for it to wow me, and too early to say anything on The Order 1866.


At the end of the day, it is all about taste anyway. So this is IMO.

Ryse looks to have great visuals. The gameplay was dumped down for the E3 show, so it remains to be seen how this might turn out at the end. And I love the setting. I hope they keep it that way. Sure it is fictional, but don't include Dragons or giant enemy crabs in this game. Lions / Tigers in the Colosseum are welcom though.

Dead Rising 3 looks very promising. I played DR1 and thought it was a fun game, but it could be so much better. Now it looks like they really improved the concept.

Halo is the best gaming franchise I have ever played. Period.

Quantum Break is made by Remedy (nuff said) and the combination of a TV series and gaming sounds freaking awesome to me.

Titanfall will be THE multiplayer title of the next gen.

I am not a fan of the racing genre, but Forza looks great. I actually want to give it a shot just for drivatar.

 

So, what has the competition to offer this far?

I dislike Killzone with passion. It has nice visuals, but it is lacking in every other category. Story, Gameplay, controls, level design, multiplayer... For me, Killzone is the perfect example for a generic FPS.

InFamous is meh to me as well. And a 50% collpase of sales for the sequel indicates that I am not alone with that feeling.

Other than that, there are a handful of indie games, I gladly pass.


Its funny that "THE multiplayer title of the next gen" can be played on current gen XD.  Halo being the best gaming franchise, I guess I can understand that, personally I'm kinda sick of Halo, I think this is gonna be the 9th Halo game, I'm just bored of them at this point, but if FPS's are your thing then more power to you.  As far as inFamous 2 sales, all that shows is Sony did a piss poor job marketing the game, that shows nothing about the quality of the game, you look at the review scores for that and it got positive reviews.  As far as you saying Quantum Break will basically instantly be good because its made by Remedy?  Remedy has not put out enough good games to just assume tha every game they put out will be good, we have to wait and see about that.  I don't know how you can dislike Killzone so much, but okay, to me its a pretty good FPS, and Killzone 2 and 3 were received very well and got very high scores.  Also "other than that" there is Drive Club, Knack, The Other 1886 and the other games Sony will reveal at Gamescom.  I highly doubt Microsoft will reveal anything else, or they would have said so.
