(Reads first line in bold, then reads the next bold part) Dude, you just contradicted yourself after Kinect Sports Rival the next exclusive was Sunset Overdrive that was released 6 months later. There was no 18 months without exclusives. Oh not to mention games like Forza Horizon 2 and Halo the Master Chief Collection that was released within those holidays. When I read the next bold I didn't even bother reading the rest of your post because if you played the beta for Halo 5(which you didnt) it is different from the rest of the Halo games it is not the same old game from the past 14/15 years. What about games like Uncharted when I played the game it is no different from other Uncharted games, I even feel like the second game is overrated. So I don't know why you consider those disgusting no one is really thinking that besides you. |
You need to actually read my post, particularly the part you bolded.
I said it's 18 months since Microsoft released their last 1st party exclusive, Sunset Overdrive is a 2nd party game, not 1st party, so no I didn't contradict myself, you just didn't read what I wrote.
Talking about exclusives Xbox One doesn't have any new exclusives coming for a full year, because Sunset Overdrive was the last one and it will be until Halo 5 releases, remember it's October 2014 to October 2015, with no new XB1 exclusives coming in all of that time, that's a full 12 months.
Yes 18 months without a single 1st party exclusive is disgusting, loads of people agree with it, all over the internet, it's just that XBox guys attempt to tune that out, by acting like Xbox exclusive releases are all that matters and they somehow have them coming at times when they don't.
Maybe saying Halo was the same old thing was a bit strong, but it's still one of only 2 outright exclusives coming to the platform this year (that we know about so far), of course Halo 5 will have it's new story dynamic with Locke and it's using the traversal gameplay like COD:AW/Titanfall and some booster stuff to change up gameplay a bit, but it's hardly inventive, I guess it's probably pretty fun though and it does work for a man in an exosuit, TBH I think Halo should have had that kind of an element from the start given what Chief is.
Uncharted 4 seems to be massively opening up the environments, the series always adds new puzzles, additions to gameplay, new animations and a very compelling story, all seemlessly rolled in together, it's definitely not the same old thing, it's actually very inventive and a deep and solid series, hence why it always scores so well and constantly grows it's install base with each new release.
I stand by my point about Microsoft's lack of support for their platform, seriously I don't see how anyone can be happy (on a console), waiting for a year for new exclusives, it's terrible and XBox guys just stick their fingers in their ears acting like that isn't the case when it absolutely is.
Where are the new IPs as exclusives for XBox One this year?
Sony has The Order, Bloodborne, Until Dawn, Kill Strain, etc, there's smaller games like Rime and there's probably going to be even more games coming this Fall, which is what Sony execs suggest with their comments, like Andrew House stating that 2015 is the beginning of a harvest period for 1st party and Fergal Gara outright stating that Sony aren't concerned about their Fall line-up.
Master Chief Collection isn't an exclusive to XBox One, it's a collection of games from the 360 or OG Xbox.
Forza Horizon 2 is a cross platform release.
Seriously dude Microsoft needs to step it up, their support of exclusives on Xbox One has been absolutely terrible, we're half way through the year already and MS hasn't released a single one so far, that's poor!!
