| Rpruett said: Come back to me with the sales and critical reception/comments on games like Project Spark. It does not fit into standard genres and it's certainly not going to take Minecraft's spot anytime soon. Go sign up for Project Spark beta yourself. If you really want to find out the truth about the game instead of posturing what-if propositions about what was shown at E3. Quantum Break - Interesting concept but one that has potential failure written all over it. Good developer but I see a high 70s type metascore for this game at best because it's ambitiously going in the wrong directions. That's assuming Remedy even finishes this game before 2015. A notorious company for not meeting release dates. You might as well call them Square-Enix or Polyphony Digital. I have doubt this even hits in 2014, and if it does I don't believe it will be as good as expected. You most certainly hyped up the BTS game by including it in your list of why the Xbox One releases are so superior in 2014. I said, we haven't even seen a single snippet or even idea of what the game is even truly about and you're going to put that on the list? We might as well throw whatever Naughty Dog project is there because it will obviously be one of the best games of the generation. And Last Guardian? Sure, we've seen more of that game than BTS or Sunset Overdrive. Not one of PS4's "unknown" games that I mentioned is without some footage, screenshots or game direction. I've watched 25 minutes of Deep Down gameplay. I've atleast saw numerous in-game screenshots for The Order and been given a run through on the genre it will be. Stark contrast from Sunset Overdrive/Quantum Break/BTS game. As for DriveClub, with PS Plus it's very common for quality games to make their way into users hands for free. (For example, my favorite game of the generation so far) Resogun was completely free with a PS Plus subscription and I probably never would have bought it without one. As for your comment about the developer? While we're certainly not talking about some 'AAA' developer. I'd say a company whose three fully-fledged console release titles this generation scored (84,82,77) respectively an average of 81 on Metacritic doesnt exactly mesh with your 'Developers last few games have been terrible'. If you want to get into developers whose last few games have been terrible, you need to look right at the feet of Insomniac games. Their last several games have been absolutely god awful (75,65, 63,70, 83) average of 71 overall. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence in their new IP which we've seen not an ounce of footage or screenshots of. |
Who ever said Project Spark was "going to take Minecraft's spot"? So the goal posts are moving now from it's in an "akward genre" to now stuff about sales and critical response. aka stuff you or I have absolutely 0 knowledge on how it will end up. aka more opinionated stuff you're passing off objectively.
You're typing up a lot of stuff about these games but are missing the point. Yeah, Quantum Break could slip into 2019 and get a 65 metascore. Of course, it could also launch in 2014 or 2015 and get a mid 80's metascore. Hypotheticals and opinions don't make facts, unfortunately.
And it turns out the Black Tusk Studios game is probably Gears of War. So I guess you can chalk that off the list of "akward genres". And no, I didn't hype their project even 0.001%. All I said is that if MS is telling us they are working on a game to rival Halo, they aren't making a game in an "akward genre". It could be a FPS and be a pile of crap. But it's a FPS. Hope that helps, I am done responding.
