That'd be pretty sleazy, I mean it was announced right after Halo as an "exclusive new first party franchise for X1", the natural assumption in that situation is $60 retail game.

Nothing really sleazy, they did nothing to claim it is a full retail game. The placement in the show should not be used for assuming it.

My guess is that it is the game of the same scale as Mighty No.9, so a decent $20-30 "indie" experience. The other game they showed was Sea of Thieves, and again they just let the people's imagination assume from there, but to me it looks like it will be a Free2Play title.

Maybe it shouldn't be used for that, but it simply is and MS knows that. That's how misleading marketing works, you don't straight up tell a lie, but you instead choose your words and actions carefully as to make people assume something is the case, when actually it isn't.

"Rise of the Tomb Rider is coming exclusively to the X1 holliday 2015" Ring a bell?

Aren't Sony attending the Paris show instead this year? There are quite a few different shows in Europe.

Yes, and then they have TGS for the Japanse/Asian markets and if they keep their word PSX.

MS simply has some of the world's best marketing experts. Once they graduate MS school of spin, they get paid big bucks by the pharmaceutical companies

This isnt a fanboy post or an argument thread but an opinion on what i think has happened since E3.

Sony are going to be absent for a press conference at Gamescon, one of the worlds biggest gaming events in the world. From what i am gathering, did Sony use all there ammo at E3 to keep on top of MS's lineup at 2015s E3 showing?

Prior to E3, MS was boasting about there *Best Xbox Lineup in History* and it wasnt somthing that would have been unnotice by MS's competitors like Sony and Nintendo. Was that a scare tactic? Did Sony panic, and instead they split there E3 and Gamescon lineup into one. Did they announce all there suprises at E3 to try to overshadow Xbox's lineup? It feels is if they have. Games like FF7 and Shemue 3 any many others (Based off there none existed release dates) that these show winning games should have been Gamecons titles atleast.

I know Gamescon is not that far from E3 but seems as if Sony dont have anything to talk about apart from there lineup they already showcased at E3.

Is Playstation having trouble keeping up with Xbox, considering Phil just announced that 2016 is all about 1st party games next year which is a big statement considering 2015 has a ton of 1st party games releasing soon. To overshadow 2015s lineup of Xbox's 1st party titles is a huge task considering its there biggest lineup in Xbox history, like they said.

Sure Playstation have Paris and PSX shows, however Gamescon is one of the biggest (even bigger then Paris and PSX) and to not have a press conference tells me theres more to it then just "they cant be bothered" By the time Paris and PSX hit, they will surely have some news to tell, however with there new devices like Morpheus, its going to be eating up alot of there 1st party companies time and resources. Can PS4 manage to keep up with Xbox's list of games that MS are focusing only on games, or are we missing something and PS have alot more then we realise.

Remember i am talking about 1st and 2nd party games, not indies, not 3rd party games, or PC ports.

 

 


No I do not think they are having any problems. They are actaully pretty even currently with Sony being slightly ahead if you ask me. As you said this year MS launches their 3 biggest IPS. I mean granted they have not had much this year Sony has still had more than MS so far. So I personally think MS HAS to have a big year in order to keep up. Next year will be big for Sony for sure if they can manage to get everything into 2016 theys aid they will without delays. And MS has some stuff up theri sleeve as well with Crackdown 3, Quantum break etc....it will be interesting to see how next year plays out.

I understand your opinion but how you came to it...that I can not figure out.



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

You should try a different genre, fantasy just isn't selling these days.

This is kinda a pointless thread honestly. They have ammo. Its just going to Paris Games Week instead. Its been common knowledge that they were doing that instead of Gamescon this year.


This.

No

No??

Yes. No.

Why doesn't anyone see the small number of  games MS are actually releasing each year so far. Yet I keep hearing about them having the best lineup and PS having no games. What's happening?



I'm pretty sure Sony still has shots to spare.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Everything they showed at E3 they had plans for whilst PSX was going on and said nothing yet still managed to announce at lot at PSX. Secrets my friends, secrets.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

They will be at Tokyo Game Show and Paris Games Week...and I bet there will be quite a few more things shown (Quantic Dream Game in Paris for example). I don't think Sony is out of ammo especially since there are quite a few studios of them working on new games we don't know anything of yet.
