Forums - Gaming - Microsoft Xbox one is this really the best launch lineup ever

Vashyo on 04 September 2013

Out of that list Dead Rising 3 is the only one I would want, Ryse I'm kinda on the fence with.

MS tends to buy timed exclusives though, so I'm not sure if some of these turn out to come on PC/PS4 in the future anyways.

Oh well I'm getting a new gaming PC before I get consoles anyways. Just waiting on MGS5 to launch before I'll start thinking about what I want to get.

Hell Yes

probably dead rising 3,but that's about it.

Not even close. Other than DR3 i have basically no interest in almost any of them. Not too impressed with the PS4's either (I like it more than the Xbone's, but that's more to do with preference of genre).

It's a pretty attractive line-up, but I think SNES, Dreamcast, Xbox, and Wii U top it. At least for now -- if half those Xbox One games are top-tier games, then maybe that list changes.

There's not a single game on there I would buy an Xbox One for.

I would probably buy none of those if they came to a console I owned and certainly won't sell me on a console

Would you buy an Xbox one just for these games?

 

Crimson Dragon (Grounding/Land Ho!, Microsoft Studios)
Dead Rising 3 (Capcom Vancouver, Microsoft)
Forza Motorsport 5 (Turn 10 Studios, Microsoft Studios)
Killer Instinct (Double Helix, Microsoft Studios)
Lococycle (Twisted Pixel, Microsoft Studios)
Powerstar Golf (Zoe Mode, Microsoft Studios)
Ryse: Son of Rome (Crytek, Microsoft Studios)
Zoo Tycoon (Frontier Developments Ltd., Microsoft Studios)

 

Apparently Crimson dragon is buggy and messed up. 

I don't trust Dead rising to not be a subpar glitchfest (the last two Dead Rising games were)

Forza will almost certainly be good...but it's a racing game so I don't care.

Killer Instinct is a joke with the immense cost they expect you to pay for characters, and no rare = no buy

Lococycle is apparently pretty lame

Ryse is, from all I've heard, This gen's "Lair".  Probably gonna suck.  Expect it until proven otherwise. 

Zoo Tycoon and Golf are not the kinds of games people get excited over. 

Best Lineup?  Far from it.  Where's the Gears of War?  where's the Halo?  Where's the Fable?  I'd say Vita had a better launch lineup than this (or the PS4, for that matter).  I say it's all irrelevant, though.  As Sony has said, it's not a sprint, it's a marathon.  It's not how you start, it's how you finish.  You don't buy a game for its launch, you buy it for its longevity. 

Why are people so caught up in launches?  it's just really not a big deal in the long run.  Look at the PS3.  One of the worst launches ever...ended up with one of the best libraries ever.  



My Console Library:

PS5, Switch, XSX

PS4, PS3, PS2, PS1, WiiU, Wii, GCN, N64 SNES, XBO, 360

3DS, DS, GBA, Vita, PSP, Android

Matter of oppinion, do not be sorry for that :)
KZ Shadowfall does not impressed me at all, it reminds me of Crysis 3 a lot on the graphical side, my oppinion at least!

lol.

Of course is not, just pure hype.

I still have yet to see an Ps4/XOne game that actually makes me think those are 'next gen' games.


Sorry, but KZ Shadowfall looks Next gen for me. That game isn't even pushing the PS4 either.

if shadowfall/crysis 3 dont impress you then you are not impressed with the xbox launch day games, cause no one reachs the quality of a crysis 3

I guess you missed the point about "oppinion" :)

I would buy an Xbox One for DR3, but I'm expecting it to be on PS4 in March of 2014.
