Thats why I specified manufacturer support. 3rd party and indie support often lasts long past the manufacturers own support.

If you are talking purely about manufacture support then while i agree it's nice to see FH2 coming to the 360, when you look at MS's last few years of 1st party support compared to Sony's (yes, even including the now rather flawed "one year older" argument), it's pretty easy to see why MS get so much shit for it. Compare the PS3's 2013 to the 360's 2012 for example.

You can't really congratulate MS for their "long lasting support" simply for releasing a cross gen title after years of only occasional releases. I'm pretty sure they didn't release a single 1st party AAA game last year.

da fuq? cross gen? will no one commit to next gen?

It's not as if they don't release new gen only games as well but it sounds only fair to give the majority of gamers (those owning a last gen console) still some games to play, right? 

I mean, I would be happy if it would be only on Xbox One but there is no reason to punish the millions of people who want to wait with the purchase of a new console. It's not as if they are not worth it...

..pehaps if they had a reason too.  something like a game, one you could only get on next gen.

Not sure if you understood what I meant? I meant it's not as if owners of the 360 aren't worth to get more games on 360 just because there is a new console. And since a game like Forza Horizon would have nothing except for better graphics if it would be new gen exclusive, there  is no real reason to release it not on 360 as well as long as you don't desperately try to make games only on new gen to force people to buy a new console.

People have to be honest here, Cross Gen IS surprising in this case.

Yeah Microsoft has been pretty lacking in 1st party last few years but showing up late is better than never at all

Oh and Gears of War Judgement was a AAA 1st party game last year.


2nd party but yes.

Cross gen, that brings 2 problemss :

-So One has only one exclusive game in 2014

- Cross gen games never look as next gen as next gen games


BF4 is very next gen, is possible still in the top 3 best looking games on next gen..(depends on opinion =p).

Cross gen isn't so bad. I've not seen any other manufacturer support their console this long.

Are you serious?


Yes.

PS fans have been going on about how they have more PS3 support in the later years, but now this year the 360 has got both Titanfall and Forza Horizon 2 while being a year older than the PS3.


+ Fable HD
+ Max the curse of brotherhood
+ Project Spark



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

GoW Judgement was a 3rd party exclusive...

 

I guess MS is trying to keep their X360 owners happy as they have been for the past 6 months while they were not buying XOne.

With this amount of happiness, XOne's sales will really struggle this fall.

Published by Microsoft = Microsoft 1st party regardless of developer.

Someone on this site said that is how 1st and 3rd party works and 2nd party is only used by media etc.


So, basically, every indie game on XBLA was in fact a 1st party game? Interesting...

Even Minecraft...
