Not to destroy your spirit but I'm pretty sure out of all the games you named Crackdown will be the biggest disaster for Xbox and will rather make people steer off Xbox than to it. If it ever releases that is. New experiences are fine but to be actually compelling and drawing in new people they need things with impact and none of the games you listed have that. Not the millionth zombie survival game, not the trillionth installment in a racing franchise, not a niche MMO, not a cool looking retro adventure game, and certainly not any indie style game. Again, I'm not taking anything away from those games but on a greater scale they're just not enough to draw in new people but rather to keep existing fans entertained. They need absolute blockbusters and they won't get those unless they buy them from studios, or the studios themselves. |
I hate to agree, none of these games will entice new console buyers, these games aren't anything on the level of God of War and Spiderman which continue to build on the already strong IP's that Sony own or have exclusivity rights to which not only are high-quality games but also look good on an advertising board.
I guess I'll have to cling to E3 for any hope of something other than Halo 6 that would truly be blockbuster material. Still, that doesn't mean that I won't be happy with one or all of these games. (at least Ori).
