Why did you purposefully forget Resogun 83?

EDIT: Also Need for speed rivals 84 and NBA 2K14 85 which are not available on Wii U?

I was under the impression from many Sony and Microsoft interns that multiplats and digital titles didn't count, so I didn't list any. Only disc based exclusives here bub.

Why not pick as criteria: Disc only based exclusives with mario in it? Sure Nintendo would win each time.

What Nintendo doesn't understand is that for the average customer those criteria don't make any(more) sense.

Now customers want great multiplats, great indies and great first parties at the same time (same console) whether they are on disc or digital. I know Nintendo makes great games. But If I choose only a Wii u now I will miss a lot of multiplats and (Sony or Microsoft) first parties and indies that won't certainly be on Wii U because of Nintendo stubborn decisions about hardware.

I mean imagine what Mario 3D could have been on PS4 or X1, same as Mario Galaxy on PS360, the more immersive thanks to better graphics, the better and graphic immersion is really important for gamers. Mario 64 and Zelda 64 had both great gameplay and awesome graphics (at the time).

It's interesting how when this and Knack were first revealed, there was a lot of kerfuffle about them. Then as time went on and we saw more of the games, we realised they weren't going to be terribly good. And we were exactly on the money.

I'll still be buying Knack when I get my PS4, so I really can't judge anyone who buys this if you're a fan of hack 'n' slash games I suppose.

Just like every Crytek game, its an expensive boring tech demo.

Well this surprises nobody. I mean, I get it, it had to be ready for launch and launch titles always kinda suck, but this and Knack both are just BAD. At least Ryse gets the graphics boost, or it'd be as low as Knack. Hell, Killzone only got the reviews it did because "DEM GRAFFIX!"

So we can all agree: Xbox One has the far superior launch lineup even WITH duds like Ryse.

Doesn't matter, the Xbox One has maybe 4 years of support before Microsoft kills it.

The problem is Microsoft has a couple trust worthy outside companies to work with, but a fleet of them are going to die off because they just throw money around without thinking. GT6 will outscore Forza 5 for sure, but theres never been a mainline GT game that has scored lower than Forza 5 did on average. The game changer is Titanfall and Microsoft was really smart for acquiring the first games exclusivity.

Hahahaha for all the Xbox fans touting this as the greatest launch lineup in history I relish those tears. Not that I want to see crappy games released but sometimes it is nice to know your suspicions were right all along and the QTE fest at e3 cemented the idea that this game would be crap and I was right. Also because it is good to know my PS4 was not alone in average to bad games.

Buy XBONE as I do not want to see the system fail but do not buy this game. Reward companies who worked hard to give you a quality game. Buy NBA 2k14, Forza 5 lack of tracks or not, Need for Speed Rivals etc.

Enjoy your new system everyone.

Totally called it. That Comic Con demo was perfectly indicative of what to expect from this game.

Microsoft depending on outsiders to do their dirty work for them and the venture is a failure once more.

They never learn. Last gen: Silicon Knights= This gen: Crytek.

P.S.

I called it that the gameplay was going to get old and repetitive since it incorrectly rips two superior games in combat with more years of practice in the genre. You dont need to play it, but rather pay attention to a combo string and it will tell you the story. Crytek always makes the prettiest game. At best what they did for Microsoft was show how pretty of a game the system could run.

But when a 3rd party makes a PS exclusive, its a smart business move and great for gamers.......sigh

What a oversimplification that honestly I would expect better from you

Oversimplification? I just gave you a perfect example of what happened last gen with Silicon Knights and it mirrors Ryse. Microsoft had a three game contract with them to make games for them and they cut it short after the first game bombed. I really hope Microsoft buys Remedy, because they are looking like they are going to be the knight in shining armor alongside Turn10 and 343 when its all said and done. Hopefully Black Tusk impresses as well.

What PS exclusive are you speaking of by the way? Most are timed exclusives (outside of Killzone and Knack) and will be coming to the Xbox really soon if they are under timed exclusivity at all and those are majorly indies. Resogun is the only third party indie title of note that was hailed during the launches. On the other hand with Microsoft they are buying up third party real estate. Everyone under the sun is going to be having third party indie titles. Even the free to play titles like Warframe will eventually find themselves over to Microsoft.

Did the PS3 not start off slow? Yes. Guess what though? They started off slow with their own games and a promise of great titles to come. With Microsoft they can buy up all the third party real estate they want but eventually when those games go either multiplat or the company wants to work on a new venture, Microsofts exclusives dry up.
