Samurai warriors 4-2 dragon guest heroes,disgaea 5,tearaway,until dawn,omega quintet,the order 1886. And quite a lot more RETAIL releases.

The question remains what has microsoft for next year?

Let's wait till E3.

At least Gears, and QB for starters though. 

So you're expecting a AAA title to come before Holiday? Which would still be 7-8 months before their last AAA exclusive game and QB is a 2016 game.

While I do agree MS' first party output this year has been pretty mediocre and lacking; I do wish they'd space some games out for the first half of the year. Even that F2P Fable games would have been something.

There have been Screamride, State of Decay, and Ori and the Blind Forest.

No... I meant something for 2016, which is what he said at the end of his post. They have more than enough for Holiday. 

I'm not talking Holiday 2015 at all, I'm talking 2016.

This thread will turn out lovely...

Love the assumptions though. Who's to say they are getting a free pass? Might just not be that vocal on this website.


I think you've been missing all the people who have been criticizing Sony for not having exclusives during the holiday, when they've been releasing them before holiday. These aren't assumptions, people have been saying this for MONTHS.

Oh wait it's not exclusives, they just don't have a game on the level of Uncharted this holiday. If it's not on the level of uncharted then it doesn't count as a game.

Who stopped you from making a thread complaining about ms lack of games.

Microsoft's obsession with shoving everything in the holidays is mind boggling. Sunset Overdrive, for example, should not have been a holiday release. Take some cues from Sony and put your smaller titles in Q1-Q2. Look how well Bloodborne did in March. That's where Sunset Overdrive should have been.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

You will notice that it's always the same users that keep on downplaying everything Sony.

They always have a spin in store to dismiss any value the PS4 might have with the content that's already available or coming soon. Be it that those games aren't 10M+ sellers or that they haven't scored over 100 on metacritics.

The fact remains that for PS4 gamers, the droughts are that bad at all with releases spread out throughout the year. And it's not only the uber budget games that count as good content. If a game is fun, or different from the other games releasing, that still counts for something.
