More diversity so... Halo Wars 2?

Other than Scalebound, all their other big exclusives are shooters. So not not a lot of diversity...

MS shooters: Halo+Gears.

Fable+Forza+Kinect games= shooters?

For someone that hangs out a lot in ROX, you're not well informed.

What so a RTS on a console isn't deivesity? Probably the most lacking genre across all consoles not just Xbox.

But I said big exclusives. The big exclusives coming are Halo 5, Forza 6, QB, Gears, Crackdown 3, Scalebound and ReCore. 

Only Forza 6 and Scalebound aren't a shooters and we don't know enough about ReCore but it looked like it had shooting in it as well.

QB is an action adventure, it's not a shooter like Gears.

Crackdown is an adventure/platformer sandbox game

ReCore we don't have much info but it's Inafune. He doesn't make shooters.

Don't tell me that you follow that mindset... just because a game has some shooting in it doesn't make it a shooter. So many games would instantly become a shooter with that mindset...

JRPGs Phil, that's the only way I buy the system. Lost Odyssey 2.


I agree! I wrote to him on Twitter asking for that game.

FPS (Halo); Third person shooter (Gears of wars, Crackdown 3, Quantum break); Action (Scalebound); (RTS) Halo Wars 2; Action-Adventure (Recore); Racer (Forza); Fighting (Killer Instinct); Platformers (Ori & Max); Action RPG (Fables); Simulator (Zoo Tycoon & Screamride) & fitness games.

They are clearly missing a major RPG game... but that doesn't seem to be a priority this generation.
