Forums - Microsoft - Q1 & Q2 2015; Any Xbox One exclusives?

If Phil shifts some of those second half games that have that half so loaded to the first half of 2015 instead of bumping them the other way to the first half of 2016, things could be looking good-er.



Thanks jlmurph!

Screamride, can't wait for that one.



 

Isn't screamride retail?



Screamride looks like it might be something good. Depends on how crazy they get with the destruction. Though personally, I would rather Frontier brought us another Tycoon game, but oh well.

Ori and the Blind Forest should be hitting early/mid 2015 and isn't on PS4. Nothing really needs to be said about the game, we've all seen how amazing it looks.

State of Decay Xbone Edition also should be in the first half of 2015. It was already amazing on 360, now it gets next gen graphics, all the DLC, and all new content.

There are also some awesome looking smaller indie titles like Cuphead and a few others. Whether those count or not varies depending on whether the PS4 has any big games in the pipeline or not.

Why would you get an Xbox instead of a PS4 from December to June if you're a gamer who did't like the first year new gen. games or played them on your 360/PS3?

Microsoft has purchased to right to promote games like The Division and The Witcher but they don't get any significant exclusive content.

How will they maintain their momentum after December?

The momentum is sustained by having such a great holiday 2014. It's not like you need weekly smash hits for momentum to continue. There are lots of people on the fence for either console, and games released in their entire history is what entices people to buy. Plus it's not as if the PS4 has some amazing selection coming in that time. I can think of The Order, which looks meh as fuck, and Bloodborne, which will probably be good but niche. And it has those games mostly as a result of what is turning out to be an extremely weak holiday 2014 in terms of exclusives.

Consumers don't think in a vacuum. No one is going to think "forget all those awesome Xbone games that just released, what is coming specifically in the next 3 months!".

Consumers at best are nice fools, they go where the new shiny game is.  You are only as good as your last release, if you have nothing big for 6 months that is an issue.  But not a big one given 3rd party games.

But still.  Givent the stacked feb and march, those two mehh and niche exclucives will be more then enough to sway the market heavily towards PS4.

Cuphead, it will be epic. And I'll finally play State of Decay. But I'll mostly be playing Halo anyways.


i'm glad i'm not the only one stoked for cuphead!!  that game looks amazing to me.



And the new shiny games in Feb and March will be Battlefield, Evolve, Witcher 3, and Project Cars. Might be forgetting one or two. They will sway the market more than The Order or Bloodborne ever would. And the market is already swayed towards PS4.



If they can get Fable out in Q2 & QB in Q3 they'd be good with all the multiplats lined up.



Lmao all I see from X1 owners now, the obnoxious ones of course, is those indies look good can't wait! and we also have 3rd party YAY. The hypocrisy in these forums amazes me.



Is anyone expecting Fable to be good? Most impressions I read have been mixed.
