Knack vs Titanfall...


God of war vs any Xbox exclusive..... Uncharted vs any Xbox exclusive.... Lbp vs any Xbox exclusive... All those franchises are iconic.. And better than any Xbox franchise.. Halo being the only one that started off as good but fell apart in quality after 2

Man is that all ps4 fans do is talk, you say MSFT doesn't take chances yet they had better launch titles and will have the better 2014 lineup. Also while sony is laying off internal studios, losing key developers, and cancelling new ips, XB1 has more games under development than ever before. Lastly, if ps4 fans are so happy, why are there petitions to bring Titanfall1, Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break to ps4. Talk all you want but XB1 is bringing the games, sony is so desperate they are releasing 2 of their biggest titles in the first year while Halo5 and Fable is 2015 and GOW and Crackdown is 2016. ps4 fans don;t even support their games, hence why the XBOX exclusives outsell ps4 exclusives by a wide margin.

2014 releases
PvZ, Titanfall, Project Spar, Kinect Sports Rivals, D4, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, Halo 2>>>>>>>>>>deep down, driveclub, mlb, infamous, the order, uncharted.

Hmm, is this perception? I can think of heaps of PS3 exclusives that got +90's on MC. For example, TLoU, LBP series, other ND games and so forth.

Maybe it's a case that there are simply more exclusives on the PS platform? And, therefore a wider range of scores.

The "core" Xbox exclsuives, I think, have scored well.

There have not been enough exclusives on either X1 or PS4 to see a trend.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Knack vs Titanfall...

Sigh, here we go...

  1. Titanfall isn't a Xbox exclusive, it's also on PC. Knack is a PS4 exclusive. Also, it's likely that TitanFall 2 will come to PS4, Knack on the other hand will always stay Playstation exclusive unless Sony decided to sell the IP. This means that Sony has full control over the Knack franchise, while Microsoft should be considered lucky if they get some sort of DLC deal similar to the one they now have with Call of Duty.
  2. They are 2 totally different games from completely different genres. Knack is a great games for kids and people who like these games, Titanfall is a great game for people who like First Person Shooters. Comparing these 2 is dumb, if not retarded.
  3. Variety: Knack isn't FPS #1021937, Titanfall is. That's also 1 point why a lot of people prefer PS exclusives over Xbox 'exclusives' (again, Titanfall isn't one of them): Playstation has more variety, while Microsoft releases a lot of high action shooting games, while Sony studios are willing to take huge risks. Risks can turn out great, like The Last of Us.

One thing Microsoft should have done is trying to make Black Tusk into their Naughty Dog and let them make amazing games, but instead Black Tusk is now forced to make a Gears of War, which many consider a dying (if not dead) franchise.



Microsoft tends to take fewer risks when it comes to publishing games. While sony is willing to try something that bends the formula, microsoft tends to make what they know will sell.



Because Sony focuses on exclusive games and word of mouth as it's primary mode of console advertising and MS just pays for advertising and exclusive "features". Word of mouth has pilloried MS this gen so maybe MS should change tactics.

MS rather sell you on something then have the quality speak for itself. That being said, Sony has also made a number of bad exclusives, but given that Sony is willing to produce so many they invariably create new IP gems like Uncharted and Last of Us, and a lot of great other games too like Infamous.

MS doesn't think games sell consoles as much as simply advertising/non-gaming content sells consoles. Remember MS spent $400,000,000 on exclusive NFL content for xone. That is not an extra zero. It's exclusive budget was 1 billion, first thing MS does is spend 40% of it on sports programming - a sport that few outside of the US even care about. That would have been A LOT of AAA new IPs.

Last gen didn't they spend like $150,000,000 advertising Kinect. MS is more willing to gamble on it's PR being effective than on making a great game.

 

Even already with PS4 and Xone, PS4 has a more diverse range of quality games.  MS has Titanfall but people are just as happy playing the equally rated BF4 for their shooter needs, or COD.   Ryse and DR3 and as crappy as Shadowfall and Knack, Forza is no better than the new Need For Speed as it's lacking content, muliplats are a wash but look better on PS4 BUT PS4 also has great games like Outlast and other quality indie titles, and now Infamous SS.  So the console with the larger variety of games from various genres already is PS4.

You mean just like how Sony made taking out Sega their objective when they came into the gaming market?



^ This.

And that's why those people out there who own NOTHING BUT SONY CONSOLES/HANDHELDS are a bunch of hypocrites.
