It's pent up anger on their part for all the years of illtreatment from MS and Sony fans actually having something to play when they didn't. My real life friends who are Xbox fans are doing it now too. For years they were silent, and when I brought up things like IGC (via PS+) and Sony exclusives, they'd just go silent or change the topic swiftly. Now they're talking about getting 'free' games every month and XBO exclusives, which in their opinion, is superior. The key word here is opinion. TF is a timed exclusive at best given EA's involvement, Ryse has a LOT to prove before launch, at this point Forza = DriveClub and KI looks horrible imo. To be honest, neither system really has an impressive list of exclusives (in terms of volume), but both are impressive relatively speaking when you consider multiplats and compare them to previous launches. You have a very diverse bunch of titles when you consoder multiplats and the respective lists of exclusives. Forza is the only knock out for me on the One, and possibly Dead Rising 3. I want to like Ryse but it leaves so much to be desired at this point. I am willing to wait and see how it does.KI looks so meh and fuck that business model. Sony is playing their cards right by spreading their titles evenly. I think Sony learned their lesson about releasing too many titles in succession. Pushing back inFAMOUS was a great idea. After people have settled with the system it will give them more reasons to play new games later and avoid that Wii U situation. Plus, having too many exclusives at launch is not a good thing. People like the 'look' of diversity but never buy some of these games lol After a game is stale some people don't even bother with it. inFAMOUS, the Order and the other exclusives will follow in time. Plus, plenty of people like me don't have the resources to run games like PlanetSide 2 on PC, so for me they're an incentive to get the PS4. TitanFall on the other hand I could play if I bought a 360 for less than a 100 bucks on ebay.
I'm definitely not paying two sets of sub fees this gen, and plus some dicks like Bethesda want to charge people a monthly subscription for their overrated AAA online games, so I'm definitely only getting one box. Thinking about it, having 3 next gen systems, a PS3 and 2 handlelds is fucken OD man lol |
Dude that is exactly what I was pretty much thinking, but couldn't write it out right. :-p
It's like what famousmortimer said on gaf about how he heard sony wasn't gonna show any of their big hitters because they want to leave enough announcements so when a low point in ps4 hype comes they can announce them and bring the hype back up. As much as I want to see all the games Sony's studios are making, I want a steady stream of announcements and releases more. Plus it makes a lot of sense the more you think about it.
I like playing on consoles more than PC, so that's why I'm waiting to play planetside 2 on ps4. It's much more enjoyable to me that way. Only if the game is worth it on PC will I buy it on there or if it's cheap on steam.
I'm thinking of getting X1 next year and get a good deal on black friday or something, but I'm definitely not paying for Live gold. And if I do I'll have freaking PS3, PS4, Vita, X1, and Wii U and that's gonna be expensive as hell to afford the games from all of them.
