| Rpruett said: Sure -- It's subjective. We could play that game with anything. We could what if, everything in the world. However, objectively the games for Microsoft reside in unpopular genres and haven't had much if any exposure to the public media. We can also objectively take Microsoft's track record as a software publisher into account and their lackof success. Objectively, Microsoft had more exclusives at launch than Sony. Objectively, Microsoft hasn't been known to release many exclusives that aren't complete sequels or re-hashes regardless of success rate. First year of Xbox One (Fable, Forza, Halo). The Order is a story driven, third person shooter with top notch graphics. It certainly could suck and crash and burn but that formula is tried, true and tested thoroughly and from what has been seen, the game looks fantastic visually. DriveClub is an arcade racer with beautiful graphics. It certainly could suck too, but again it's a tried and true formula. Motorstorm wasn't great, but it wasn't the worst either. DriveClub will have a little more polish than Motorstorm (1) ever had. MLB The Show - Baseball, so what? Many people in the world and most importantly, the United States love baseball. Especially the first next-gen iteration of the best baseball game on the market. Deep Down certainly could suck being a F2P and all. However, Deep Down has shown extensive footage of the game and it looks to be solid at a minimum.
Halo and Titanfall we know what to expect. Pretty much every other Microsoft game resides in an akward genre ( Quantum Break, Project Spark) or simply hasn't shown ANYTHING tangible or both. |
Sorry, but "unpopular genres"? lol. The games you listed.
Titanfall - FPS, most hyped game in a long time
Project Spark - Minecraft/LBP type "game creation" game. Extremely popular genre
Quantum Break - Story driven 3rd person shooter/action game. Another popular genre
Black Tusk Project - "next Halo". I highly doubt they are making a card game
Fable - RPG. Fable has been very popular and successful
Sunset - Open world shooter. Yeah, not popular at all
Halo - Never even heard of this
So again you're touting opinion as fact. Which is fine, but don't mistake it as anything other than your opinion. Especially when you're talking about "popular genres" and then listing a niche title like baseball.
Also, if we're going by history, MS releases great new IP's at the start of the gen. They did it with Xbox and the 360. I guess by your logic that confirms all these new IP's will be good. Wow what a year for Xbone. Thanks.
