IGN: Xbox Series X Is Great, But It Needs Games ASAP

The PS5 only has Spiderman and Demons Soul's. Whoopee.

Both consoles could and should have launched next year.
Hell no! some of us are plenty relieved to have a new console that can play games at 60fps and that don't sound like a jet engine. Maybe the xbox could have got delayed but PS5 has a better launch line up than the ps4 had, and has more games coming in the new year. It released at the perfect time.

So Nintendo and Aonuma are lying?
Actually i shouldn't even dignify that BS with an answer, because you know exactly that those games have nothing in common. But out of curiosity, can you give me a source, where Nintendo officially states that BOTW is a fully fledged remake of TLOZ?

reveal video with aonuma

Edit : I think there's even footage or a picture where they showed the engine flat out started as Zelda 1.

Would you like to see the list of PS5 games actually releasing in 2021?

You think all of those will come out next year?

Well, I've been busy playing Call of the Sea (wonderful puzzle game), Gears Tactics (amazing). I even went through Bright Memory (not great, but the full version next year has potential), Falconeer (pretty damn good when you learn controls) in the three weeks since I got XSX. I also have been busy playing Sea of Thieves, Destiny 2, We Happy Few, Sekiro which all have improved by either adding 60 fps or making framerate more consistent. I had a blast checking out old titles with new auto-HDR support. I also finished Assassin's Creed Valhalla which is my top3 game after Ori and Wasteland 3. Don't really have time to complain about the lack of games online. Sorry.

People saying ps5 launch was better than ps4 by having two remasters makes me confused over people saying ps4 had a good launch back then.

The bar seems really low.

I say it's a prettified old niche game, some of you guys try to make it the holy grail of gaming, the best launch exclusive ever. The truth lies somewhere in between, but it's definately nothing like a NEW Zelda was for Switch. Not even in the same universe. And what the hell is FOMO?

It is one of the best launch exclusives ever, they modernized the game through the aforementioned quality of life updates, the graphics are incredible, it has amazing gameplay and it's a showcase of your new console. What else does it need to do to be a great launch game?

FOMO = Fear of Missing Out. The way I interpret it, you are minimizing the quality of a title because you don't have access to it in your chosen console. It could be that, or you fear that the absence of any next gen games on your chosen console would cause it to be attacked, so you decide to minimize other titles on other consoles to feel better about your choices.

It's something a 10 year old does in primary school, yet here you are doing the same.

By the way, according to their creators, every Zelda game is a remake of the previous title and retells the story of Link, Zelda and Gannon, so, technically, all the Zelda games are lackluster and terrible, according to your logic.

Thanks for the laugh Mr. hobby psychologist, i had a PS5 myself so i could have played that game if i wanted to. And if Demon Souls is such a great launch game, it should easily beat the >20 million sold copies of Zelda.

People reducing Demon souls to "just a remaster" confuses me. The consensus from people that have actually played it is that it's the best console launch title in a while, only really beaten by BOTW. And SM:MM is a perfect 1st or 2nd game for a lot of people that are already likely spending all their money on a combination of COD, FIFA, Madden, NBA2k, Assassin's Creed, etc, for their new systems. point being; Sony (and microsoft) don't need to have 3-5 exclusive bangers to release in a single month, because they're already competing with 3rd parties. No point cannibalizing sales.

Sony had the right formula, release a couple exclusives with your new system(some that can be played on PS4). and then in the new year start releasing more exclusives once the dust settles from all the competing publishers releasing their own stuff.

MS would have been in a pretty excellent position if Halo didn't shit the bed. I think 2021, 1st party wise, is gonna drag for them because all I'm seeing for them is Halo infinite releasing in the fall and that's it. Meanwhile Sony has a fairly steady stream, even if you assume GOW gets delayed (which I think it will).

That's because it is a remaster.
How many has Demon's soul sold?

The souls players is a loud minority of hardcore gamers. Theres not many casual players enjoying the masochistic play style of the souls games.

I ain't saying the game is bad. It just isn't for me.
But it's a joke laughing at xbox for being a bc machine (often with Microsoft internal updates to make some of them look like remasters), and then getting hyped about a ten year old game made as a remaster.

If it was Demon's Souls 2 then it would be a new game entirely. This is still a remaster.

I've been playing 'Valhalla', 'Watch Dogs', 'Call of the Sea' and 'Tetris' on the Series X and I haven't really got enough time for that.



Is the ridiculous theory that people only play first party games?

Yes.

Don't you regret for each game you bought on your xbox that it could have been the last of us part 2 instead?

Anyway, jokes aside, ign being fanboys, and Fanboys is annoying, is my statement here.

Also, Demon's Souls is a remaster.

I can't wrap my head around people defending Xbox lack of games. I mean.. ..seriously. Even if you like the console (which I do) having a few good first-party launch titles would have been a hell of a lot better.
They planned on Halo Infinite, and it’s clear, the Master Chief is all over the back of the series X box. The game got a bad backlash, although the gameplay they showed looked really fluid and fun, and the graphics looked like a nod to Halo:CE. Do the graphics need updating for Series X and PC? Yes, KUDOS to MS for having the gumption to delay their biggest launch title so it can cook a bit more, unlike CDPR which said fuck you tonits fans and released a broken mess.

PS5 also released with Sackboy, Godfall, and Astrobot. A total of 5 exclusives!

Too convenient to just leave those off?

Sackboy, meh. Godfall, never heard of it, Astrobot, shame on me in fairness, VR is an alk time favourite.

My point still stands, no way do I think the PS5 launch was as amazing as some of the utterly ludicrous threads on here suggested. And that's not claiming the XSX launch was, it was a non event.

Both as I said should have launched next year, the PS4 is still pumping up content like TLOU2 ffs. Hardly what you would call a last gen experience.

This is how I felt when I was deciding between XSX and PS5. I love Xbox and I’ve never owned a PlayStation, but I wanted to play all those PS4 exclusives I missed.

Xbox has a ton of potential though with their recent studio acquisitions, and I think XSX will be a must-own console by 2023.

Nobody does, it's just one of those arguments why their plastic is great and yours utter crap. Just like TF, SSD or a controller gimmick. In the end nothing of this matters, it only matters if you are happy with your decision.

If we are going to use arbitrary measurements to say what is a good launch title, I'd say that checking how angry and irrational fanboys of other consoles get about it is a good metric. By how salty you guys are about Demon's Souls, I'd say it's an incredible launch game. ;)

BC games and remasters are two very different things. A remaster can be an entirely new game, that's why it's next gen here, with next gen assets (graphics, sounds) and next gen features like haptics.

A BC game is just an old game running better, the assets are still old.

Apples and oranges.

Xbox fans should stop trying to put the competition down to the level of their own console of choice.

If you're so fascinated about PS5 games, buy a PS5 and enjoy the games like everybody else. That would be a more positive attitude than searching for flaws in every great Sony exclusive.

compared to Xbox, ps5 launch was like the second coming of Christ.

There is nothing really to debate or say, this year and next year have/will been fantastic for ps5, where is xbox at, in the gutter atm

That is so infantile and the sad part: You don't even get it. Have a nice day.
 
It has games, I'm playing the new releases on Gamepass. Unto the End, Morkredd, Call of The Sea, and all the Yakuza games. Also The Medium is coming out in January 2021. It is getting games, but Journalists.. .seem to be ignoring everything that is gamepass related most of the times. Or if its not God of War, or Horizon levels than it doesn't count which seems to be the situation with The Medium, and Ascent ?
I'm switching around between my gaming pc and the xbox (some titles dont end up on the PC gamepass). The PS5 is gathering dust though after playing the Miles Morales, and Demon's Souls, also Pathless.
We just getting started over here. Chess / Checkers baby. :messenger_winking:
January it begins,

Thats it? :messenger_tears_of_joy:
I bet half of those games don't release in 2021 at all. Especially ragnorok.

D Danteyke223 wow, PS5 gathering dust huh ? then what the hell are you using Xbox for then haha. PS5 has games and 3rd party look better on PS5.
Vasto Vasto saying "that's it" to Horizon, GOW, Ratchet, GT7, Kena, Returnal, Deathloop, Ghostwire, Destruction AS.
let's see you Xbox lineup picture and laugh
H Hitchyhero maybe you should read more often. Ratchet, Kena, Returnal, Deathloop, Destruction AS are first half of 2021.
Horizon and GT7 are second half. GOW could be 2022.

week just started and Xbox fans are already in full swing on ps5 hate. nice. reason ? must be that TLOU GOTY win.
maybe you should open more threads about Microsoft buying more studios because that's you favorite thing in 2021

Also, astroboy is a tech demo of all the dual sense features you'll never get it third party games and Sony abandons them in around two years.

Uh, the only one who seems to be full of hatred is you. Most of us are having a peacefully discussion while you charge in like a tornado throwing turd anywhere.

Were you just trying to give an example on how toxic fanboys can be, cus then I'd say good job.

Also, please keep TLoU2 to your own platform, thanks. I'm still fearing Abby sucking my testorone with his butt hole so sheman can become stronger.

What a triggered post. Most people just stating that they are paying a ton of games on the xbox. I havnt been able to put it down.

And no, I'm not salty about Tlou GOTY win. I actually voted for it and been defending it as a great solid game (check post history)..... So who looks childish now.

Yes Xbox could definitely use some high-quality exclusives that aren’t random early access games on Steam.

But honestly both next-gen consoles feel like old news already. You definitely want one to get the best versions of multiplats on consoles, but even then you’re waiting for the Cyberpunk patch or the Destiny 2 patch and so on.

Not at lot to get excited about for either atm.

Astro's playroom got rated 83 on Metacritic, that's more than your typical gamepass filler and it certainly means it's not a tech demo but a real game. And haptics and adaptive triggers are already used in multiple 3rd party games, so you're already wrong on that too (CoD, NBA 2K21...).

Phil Spencer, who seems definitely smarter than his fanboy base, already stated PS5 haptics were great, implying it would probably be copied in the next Xbox.

You call all that peaceful, I call that trying to constantly belittle the competition to cope with the fact you get none of those things on your toy of choice.

Your not stating facts though are you. Your accusing anyone happy with the games on Xbox as being salty about Tlou winning game of the year.... When many people like myself voted for it and find it a great game.

You sound like a fanboy when many xbox fans on this thread are also Sony fans. You seem like a grown child defending your choice plastic box to death 😂

I apologise for enjoying my xbox and saying I have too many games to play. Sorry that offended you /s

Xbox is dull in general right now and for the near future at least, and it isn't just because of the lack of first party hits.

Same old UI, same old controller, no next gen feature. No next gen exclusive. Slightly inferior performances.

They really went out of their way to be sure you wouldn't have too much fun.

All that's missing is preinstalling Office on it.

Hey, you are pro at list wars. List me how many supported ps3 and ps4 special features from the beginning of the gen to the end.

Still, you still sound like a fanboy since you are so fragile you think people gets hurt over posts lmao. The only one getting hurt seems to be you since you are so aggressive.

Sony is the only who could get bad reviews deleted on metacritic.

Also, winning everything at the game awards show shows Sony shills out the industry. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore.

Here comes the tinfoil hat and flat earth theory now. So the world is out to catch you and the last remaining Xbox fans ?

Or could it be reviewers do actually tell us what they think and Sony games are just that good ? I know the answer

Show me on the doll where Sony touched you.

Why is it that every thread that criticizes Xbox’s horrible launch strategy and total lack of new games turn into a referendum on Sony, who actually launched with new and exclusive titles that take advantage of the hardware? Does a single Xbox Series X MS patch even use ray tracing?

If Xbox Series X launched with titles of the quality of Astro, MM, and Demons Souls, people would have been thrilled. Sony did it right, MS did not, period.

I ain't a xbox fan, nice try though.

But hey, I don't see myself as the same segment as fat blue haired chicks like the reviewers so idk. Good for you I guess.

Every thread is about it, whether it's xbox or PlayStation. Nintendo players despite being made fun of of buying full price on 5 years games, seem to be the only one who can get along with others.

In 2021 there will be no more excuses. No more trying to downplay PS5 releases by calling Spider-Man Miles Morales DLC or Demon’s Souls Remake a PS3 ‘remaster’.

They will have to contend with Horizon, God of War, Returnal, Destruction Allstars, Kena, Deathloop, Ghostwire, Ratchet and Clank and more. What will the excuse for Series X having no games be then?

When you have nothing to defend yourself with attack the opposition or start talking about something completely unrelated, it's pretty standard stuff. Hence whenever these discussions take place they always get personal with anyone who dares to question wtf is going on and why the 1st party/exclusive situation is what it is today.

The fact that people even defend the current predicament says to me that they deserve it.
