Project Spark / Dead Rising 3

Killer Instinct / Ryse

Forza etc... MS has killer apps not app.

Titanfall is getting more attention because of Sony fans not because it is the only hyped game.

The reception Killer Instinct been having lately has been dwarfing Titanfall until today.

Have you checked how amazing Project Spark is? And it's gonna be FREE? Not rented, no Gold program. Freezee, the community itself gonna hype this game up.


The only Killer App is Titanfall in my opinion when it comes to all consoles. Killer Instincts reception has never dwarfted Titanfall. Hell, even Titanfall made Destiny seem like a second rate game when Destiny will have more to do. The sheer fun and replay value of the quick matches will be addictive enough. 

That's because you guys are obsessed with Titanfall.

It's absurd for real and I believe Guerrilla probably feel very disrespected that it's loyal fan base is putting them aside.

You have BF4,Killzone,COD etc... but you had to N4GG about this One

Go see Project Spark fan reception. Killer Instinct DH's community threads and KI videos. Same with Forza and Dead Rising.


Um...Killzone is one of the exclusive front runners for the PS4. That game has a lot of eyes on it, just not like Titanfall which was supposed will be the multiplat hit of the beginning of the gen.  Don't think any actual Xbox exclusive is getting anywhere near the fanfare that game is getting either so if you do, fair warning. I had to tell this to a friend who thought Destiny was more important and was frustrated at Titanfalls fanfare. MS NEEDS this game and it will keep the playingfield leveled between them and Sony until Halo 5 launches. Watch, its exclusive now but later things will change. MS is just shifting the perception of people so they associate a game that isnt made by them to them. They've been doing it for years now. 

Killer Instinct has the fighting community speaking, but how large is that crowd? Not very large. This is why the game is reaching out to people who don't frequent fighting as much by tweaking the system.

Titanfall exclusive to Microsoft. Good for them, but it's just a game, probably a good and fun game, probably 85-90 metacritic, but it's just a game. Xbox One will have TitanFall among others, PS4 have Killzone SF, Infamous SS, The Order 1886...

I think this game has been too much overhyped, to ridiculous levels...I want TitanFall to be a success, and if it's only on Microsoft systems...it's good for me, but i don't think it will be a game that will determine anything. FPS with robots has been done before, so it's nothing new, and after seeing BF4 and KZ SF material..., to me looks very outdated.

So, in conclusion, congratulations to Xbox fans that were hoping the game will remain exclusive..., but that's all.


Exactly. This is why I said it will be balanced between Sony because MS can buy as many exclusives as they want. Sony will keep making them.

At the moment it is VERY good to be an XBox fan: Halo Spartan assault to be released for XBox, Titanfall a lifetime exclusive and all the other exclusives getting massive attention for their high quality. Also, PS fans should spend less time guessing over this thread and more time saluting their exclusive fps in Killzone. That is one awesome-looking game! :)


yep

1080p 60fps will be so good

:)

So it´s not more important that the gameplay holds up?

Whether MSFT paid for it or not means nothing to me.  It is a business and sorry to tell you but Sony and Nintendo arent innocent when it comes to business strategies either. I will be playing it day one so it doesnt effect me. 


This kind of practise affects everyone actually. MS spent the money not to create a game but to prevent Sony from having it. If they hadn't, both XB1 and PS4 owners would have this game, and MS could spend the money on creating their own game. It doesn't bother you that you could have had 2 games instead of 1?

And this goes for every company. It is bad whoever does it.


Truth. This is the only way MS can stay ahead and they know it. Their late game policy shows how badly they will ignore devs if they don't get their way either.

You do realize the utter hypocricy of that statement?

Sony pays developers to feature their games on PS+ as a free monthly rental, just so people subscribe to a monthly service.  Sony does this to bolster a bullshit service that no one would subscribe to otherwise.  To you that's OK, but the it's no different than what Microsoft may or may not have done. 

You assume Microsoft paid Respawn/EA for that exclusivity, but you have no clue as to whether or not that was a decision EA or Respawn made.  Your conclusion completely ignores the fact that Microsoft is giving developers servers for free.  So Respawn's online only game, Titanfall, doesn't need anything extra for PC, Xbox 360, or Xbox One.  For PS4 either Respawn, EA, or Sony would have to pony up some money for servers.  That might not be financially feasible for a new, untested IP. 

It was Epic's decision to bring Gears of War to the Xbox 360 as an exclusive, not Microsoft's  Later on Microsoft may have paid to keep Gears of War exclusive, but Epic made the choice to bring Gears to the Xbox 360 just like the previous generation they brought Unreal to the PS2. 

The difference is the only real developers that Sony can sway with the amount of money they have to hand out are Indie developers, and even then the majority of Indie titles they showed at E3 were timed exclusives.  So bitch and moan all you want that Microsoft has money to do things, like give away servers or secure content deals with, but had Sony not screwed up last generation they might have actually had some cash to work with without having to sell of their company assets.

wow.

Name me a benefit that makes PS+ worth it other than the free game rental. 


Obviously MS sees it as a benefit to add it to Xbox Live. People are actually responding to it. See thats the beauty of choice. If you want it you can have it but if you don't who cares?

Wouldn´t it be considered even "worse" in your book if the company instead BUYS a whole studio just to keep their games for themselves? Naughty Dog comes to mind :). That is a surefire way to keep the games from gamers that chose another system.

Or is it more important that us gamers get exclusive games on our preferred console, no matter how they are acquired? I cannot for the world see the difference between bying a studio and buying one of it´s franschises.

Sony only works with companies they've had longstanding relationships with an represent the core values of what they want in their brand. Naughty Dog (and in particular Mark Cerny) as well as Sony wanted to create pixar-like games. They wanted to bring to life the movies we've been watching since toy story, hence Crash Bandicoot and Spyro and once more Knack. Sony never bought Naughty Dog to keep them away from anyone...they were never interested in Microsoft (hell they were partners with Sony a generation before MS came) nor Nintendo. Nintendo had Rare. The best relationship Microsoft has had is probably Remedy? Thats not saying much either.

It's not about preferential treatment. If you know your history, they both had the same vision early in Sonys dominant lifespan. This is why they have Naughty Dog. Naughty Dog has been with Sony as long as the Playstation brand has been going. Can Microsoft say this about any second party? Naughty Dog's creativity has been an extension of what it means to have a "Sony quality" product. Before this generation very few were singing their praises and most of us were too young to care about who they were when Crash first hit the Playstation. Crash outside of Naughty Dog and Playstation creative control has been a downward spiral which is sad to see. Activision should just sell the damn franchise to Sony.

Question I ask myself sometimes is why MS would buy Rare only to force them to make Kinect games and then have Double Helix make one of their most prized games? Don't get me wrong it looks like it will have some fluid combat, but this his how you know they've somehow contributed to the death of one of the greatest companies in gaming history. Vultures generally wait until their prey is dead before the strip the body. Is there really a difference?

LOL....Whats funny is MS having to pay every good developer for their games to bolster their top three games.

Hmmm. This holds no weight these days. The Playshooter 4 isnt exactly teeming with amazing games at launch. Killzone annnnnnddddddd??????????

Dont even try the Indie line. I think its a poor show from Sony using indie games like they are. Desperation on the games front.

Ryse, DR3, KI, Zoo Tycoon and Fora 5 is a strong diverse wait for it NON SHOOTER lineup. 

If I were Sony Id be getting the checkbook out very fast indeed. 

After 1 month of every PS gamer finishing Killone and wishing for another decent game. Xbox gamers will be playing a diverse exclusive list. Not even toucing the indie games exclusive like Peggle 2, or Plant Vs Zombies, Minecraft One edition is exclusive as is Minecraft developers new game. 

Posts like these are just why people give you the crap that they do, selnor. 


I notice you only ever comment towards me CGI. Never against someone attacking Xbox. 

You used to be very impartial long ago. Nowadays you let slip comments like Stages. And attack people calling them out. 

Ive started to notice a pattern.

I have never even noticed people giving me crap. I dont pay attention to people who dont like the truth.

Whatever you claim to be "seeing" please stop. Theres nothing that "slipped". You only claim I was impartial long ago. It's obvious why because back then I applauded Microsoft for making proper decisions. Thats just the thing, at some point they dropped that ball. I am not loyal to any platform so I could probably switch back and forth saying Sony or Microsoft or even Nintendo did something right or wrong. At the end of the say its an opinion.

Seems Respawn were looking to port it after initial exclusivity is over.

Guess I'm trying it on PC then, if I get around to it. 

Kinda lame.  Deliberately restricting the initial reach of the IP in return for a bucket of money.  Just hope the bucket was big enough.

Still, good catch for MS.  Game looks interesting.

Looks like MS had to go back to get it fully exclusive.

 

Welp i guess it wont be coming to the Quad. They might aswell just buy Respawn.

Or it was fully exclusive in the first place, just another thing CBOAT has got wrong.

I may be wrong about this but didn't major Nelson seem like he was under the impression that it was a timed exclusive and now today he seems to fully be under the impression that it is fully exclusive?

 

Cboat was most likely right at one point before they changed the deal


Seriously, the way some of you guys talk about Cboat is crazy.
He is WRONG. Period.
