Ofc they are gonna be "Going in Hard." Their biggest IP is coming out that year. As far as Quantum Break goes, after all the delays Alan Wake had no release date should be taken seriously this far away.

Also Tomb Raider, Crackdown, Scalebound and phantom dust.

Phantom Dust won't do much, as far as I know its a remake of a game that sold horribly. I don't see Crackdown or Scalebound making it in 2015. Platinum just made Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2, no way they are coming out with a new game every year. OP mentions Crackdown was not brought up as a 2015 title and since we haven't seen any gameplay yet I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't make a 2015 release.

I think its pretty much well known that TR is a timed exclusive and its more associated with the PS brand than the Xbox brand, how much it will help is yet to be seen. I doubt Microsoft is gonna advertise it as much as SE advertised the reboot, they advertised it so much it had to sell an insane amount to become profitable.

QB was interesting after the unveiling, but the moment I saw gameplay I started to fall asleep. So generic, looks like every other game. I was very disappointed, as I'm a massive fan of TPP games

Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Was I the only one expecting Quantum Break earlier? They seem to be placing a lot of focus on the holidays, but I don't think thats the problem. They should, IMO, spread titles out all year.

Same here. I wanted this to be the game to make me want an Xbox... I absolutely love the concept, but the execution seems so dull. :(

Freeze time, run up for melee, wash and repeat...

if you are going to go... i guess that is the way to do it...

My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

The thing is anyone can make anything sound boring by doing that.

They've got Fable Legends which should come out of the first half of 2015. Not sure what else.
