Heck no, this game has flop written all over it.


care to explain how?


Developer history , it's been a long time since insomnaic made a good great game, it looks like quirky, whimsical that would only attract a niche market, in an already crowded shooter market. Also being on xbox who seem to me less likely to take to a quirly, whimsical game like this.

you contradict yourself in those last two points. if its attracting to a niche, then it isnt trying to compete with the crowded mass market shooters. if it isnt trying to attract a niche then it is competing with the other shooters and it has a unique art style to set it apart. 

also, looking quirky, and whimsical doesnt mean it will attract a niche and flop. look at team fortress 2.

Competing against the big shooters is not exactly helping your argument...................Sorry just how I feel, based on who the developer is and the genre it's in, looks like it will be one of those we say how poorly it sold a month after it launches.



I think Quantum Break will have those honors personally. Perhaps Halo 5.



Fable Legends get my vote.

It is between Halo 5 and probably Titanfall. Those games are gong to be review by Ryan McCaffery, thus starting a trend of high-rating.

On a serious note I doubt QB will get the highest, since critics/players have mixed feelings towards Remedy's games. Sunset Overdrive might have chance if it was releasing next year. I am also with Wright that D4 might surprise some people, so that's my sleeper game.

I feel bad for QB and Sunset Overdrive(which is being develop by the resistance teams), those games are being overshadowed.

@bolded: well, they are new IP's, and for QB we seen two trailers and what seems like a few glimps of gameplay and for SO it was just a trailer. does anybody even know if its FPS or TPS?

I'm hoping. It's my most anticipated Xbox One titles..They need to break their curse some time. Their most recent games have been lackluster at best. :/


Did you not enjoy Into the Nexus?  I was singing its praises to JayWood just yesterday!

All I know about SO is that it is open world shooter. Most likely a FPS since is being develop by the resistance team.
