Dude...Sony is fine and the big games always come within a two year window. I would be more worried about Microsoft if I were you when it comes to being creative and coming out with new exclusives themselves.

I'd rather take creativity of MS than Sony.

And here I'll tell you why:

Halo has been the benchmark for most FPS since 2001, it always had great visuals but it's gameplay took precedence over anything else. Thus, it's multiplayer is one of the most played in the industry.

Gears have also been the benchmark for all the TPS with cover based mechanic. Self explanatory.

MS released tons of Arcade games for the last 3 years through 1st party and external studios partnership.

I don't think any fans of Xbox should be worried about games on Xbox, be it 1st or 3rd party.

I'm not easily impressed by cinematic experience. It's a wow thing for 5 minutes.

"Halo has been the benchmark for most FPS since 2001"

I believe it's lost that crown recently. Say of COD what you want, but it's much, much bigger than Halo. And the FPS market is filled to the brim with big games. It's not as big of a draw card anymore as it used to be.

"[Halo] always had great visuals"

Halo 3 and ODST had great visuals?

" but it's gameplay took precedence over anything else"

Just like every other FPS ever?

"Gears have also been the benchmark for all the TPS with cover based mechanic. Self explanatory."

How can you give MS credit for creativity when Gears was entirely an Epic product? A new studio is taking over the franchise now. The "creative" people who created Gears are making other stuff now. No point there I'm sorry.

"I'm not easily impressed by cinematic experience"

You think Sony is only publishing "cinematic" games? It's also such a vague definition that one could easily group Halo, Ryse, Alan Wake and maybe even Fable in there. Just because Uncharted and The Last of Us had a story doesn't mean the gameplay was bad. Literally only two games, Heavy Rain and Beyond from Quantic dream is a cinematic game in most people's books. And considering that you could take those two out of Sony's 1st party portfolio and it would still vastly exceed what MS has produced in the last 4 years then you really have no point at all.

I really want to hear your response, because your post was unbearably terrible in my opinion.

 

 

*disclaimer to anyone* I think Halo 4 was fantastic. Really impressed. 343 did an a-fuckin-mazing job.
