Killer Instinct 74
Zoo Tycoon 72
Powerstar Golf 68
Crimson Dragon 56

Need for Speed: Rivals 84
Resogun 82
Assassin's Creed IV 82
Call of Duty: Ghosts 78

Battlefield 4 87
NBA 2K14 85
Need for Speed: Rivals 84
Call of Duty: Ghosts 78
Dead Rising 3 78
Killer Instinct 74
Zoo Tycoon 72
Powerstar Golf 68
Crimson Dragon 56
Lococycle 53

Xbox One average: 73.5

All in all, pretty decent figures for a console launch.


I think I remember PS3 and 360 exclusive libraries overall being around 77 meta this gen (might have that wrong) so yeah it's defo on par with what you'd expect.

Good way of looking at exclusives is in order though.

XB1 - Forza
PS4 - Resogun
XB1 - Dead Rising 3
XB1 - Killer Instinct
XB1 - Zoo Tycoon
XB1 - Powerstar Gold
XB1 - Ryse (sure it'll score higher than 67 ...)
PS4 - Contrast
PS4 - Knack
XB1 - Crimson Dragon
XB1 - Lococycle

Contrast is on PC and I think Zoo Tycoon is listed for 360, so I wouldn't really call those exclusives.

Contrast is also on 360

I'm glad Dead Rising 3 did good.

 

Here, I'll quote the goods and bads from the only Spanish reviewer of Dead Rising 3, (Meristation) on which I totally agree:

a 7'2 score:

- Some huge technical problems that MUSN'T be present on supposedly next-gen games.
- Kinect is not that useful
- As a sandbox game, it can get tedious during some missions or just traveling through the city.

+ Hundreds of thousands of zombies on-screen, ready to be killed in all sort of ways.
+ Some bosses are particulary charismatic, and memorable
+ Tons (and we mean it) of hidden easter eggs, references, cameos and secrets waiting to be discovered.
+ Crazy plot, gore, and humor. This is a worthy game of the Dead Rising title.

So as expected the X One line up sucks as much as the PS4 (some good games nothing great some crappy ones). We all knew however is buying either of these machines at launch (me included) is buying them for the machines themselves cause the line up seemed pretty weak and has been confirmed to be so by the reviews.


Er???

KI is around 8, DR3 is around 8, Zoo Tycoon is around 75. Forza will do 85+ and Ryse is unpredictable.

Better launch line up than PS4.

Resogun is above 80, KZ is around 75. Pretty similar so far if you ask me... -__-

So PS4 will have 2 games above 75, Xbox One will have several, gotcha!

Not exactly several. 2 at best. DR3 and Forza

Ki is borderline 75. Ryse and Forza yet to come.

Dead Rising 3 seems to be a mixed bag of Good and Very Good.

I'm most happy to see KI has solid reviews. Its not even a complete game yet.

Confirmed: MS spent money to keep PS4 reviews low and X1 reviews high.

Like I said. Forza and DR3. You can't seriously believe Ryse will get 75+.

Yes I can given I've actually followed it, have you? Or have you just read the headlines you want to believe?



 

I wonder what's going on with Twisted Pixel. 'Splosion Man was a hell of a lot of fun when I played it, and I've been led to believe that Gunstringer is pretty good too. Wonder what they were thinking with Lococycle.

Regardless, pretty much what I expected after the PS4 reviews. No reason to buy a console yet in here, unless you're after upgraded versions of multi-plats (but are people really willing to spend $499 on that?). I'm a little surprised at the Crimson Dragon reviews. Dead Rising 3 is probably actually doing a little better than I expected.

I'm intrigued by how Zoo Tycoon turns out (if it goes heavier on the "tycoon" aspect than the "zoo" part, then it may well be something for me) but I don't have chance to read reviews at the moment.

'Splosion Man, Ms. Splosion Man, Comic Jumper and the Gunstringer are all very great games. I too, don't know what they were thinking when making Lococycle.

 

Guess if it had been a +80 meta game we wouldn't be complaining though. Kudos to them for trying out...something...different...



So 2 success stories for Xbox gamers today.

1stly Killer Instinct. Wow. What a reception. Coments like next year will be the best fighter ever etc. Really happy with Double Helix here. 6 characters and 1 mode of play and it is right with the likes of full games Killzone and Call Of Duty. Gameplay is flawless. Cant wait for re reviews and new content in March.

Also Dead Rising 3. Looks to be a great experience. And people seem to love the open world epic. Should fnish around 80 meta to.

With this in mind Forza 5 should 'SHOULD' do 90+. After all it has more content than any other next gen title period.

Really happy with the launch from a sales perspective. As for me? I don't care for reviews. I already new what I wanted. And it looks as though I wont be disappointed.
