I especially love when people mention games we haven't even seen gameplay of (so basically all unreleased Xbone exclusives except Titanfall) and use that as an arguement for the Xbone line-up. That should tell you everything you need to know about how much more they have in store...
 
Forza 5 is arguably Xbox's second biggest exclusive after halo, and MS gave that as a launch title.

DR3 looks pretty fun as well.

Received scores of 82 and 78 on metacritic, which is better than sony's big titles (not counting resogun because its not a big title)

Killer instinct has the same metacritic rating as frickin killzone

And im not trolling either. These are my honest thoughts as a ps4 day one owner. Ps4 simply has no games im intereted in.

Then that's your fault. Since you put so much stock into metacritic (for some reason), you should've never bought one in the first place.

Why on earth did you get a PS4 then?? How did you not know what games were launching?

I'm curious why you only care about exclusives.
 
I just want to say im fed up with Sony. I bought a ps4 over the xbone for longevity , and because a lot of my friends will eventually get one.

However, Sony has been pathetic with their ps4 exclusives. They only had frickin killzone and knack.....thats it. Both games are mediocre as per metacriric ratings.

For the next year, all we will have is infamous (never been a fan) , drive club (which i think was ready for launch but purposely delayed until 2014 to make sony's next year line up feel loaded, which its not) , (not even ps4 exclusive and not a baseball fan) , and the order, which is a new ip that we've seen so little of.

This is why the jokes of sony having no games are valid.

Xbox has a HUGE console exclusive in titanfall, halo 5, project spark, sunset overdrive, and more for 2014.

Before you say 'sony is holding back their cards' thats just BS to me at this point. At one point i believed it, but not anymore.


Where the hell are the games Sony? 2014 is looking like crap for sony exclusives, and that pisses me off.

I believe xbone is the better choice for games in the short.term, and and sony in the long term, but many gamers arent patient.


TLG and agent were announced 4 years ago.
Less then 2 weeks since release and someone is already assuming nothing is coming for the next 5 years. Never change internet.
 
Is this an actual answer, or are you just joking?

Then he's right. Except the VGX part since it's nowhere near a reveal. I thought folks would figure it out right away but it was probably a terrible riddle since I thought it up in seconds.

I just like who everyone dismisses SS, Driveclub, The Order and then OMGS about Sunsent Overdrive? Like we know nothing about the game and Insomniacs recent output has been decent at best.

but is it exclusive?
No. It's not at a stage where such a talk could happen, and to be frank, I doubt this could be secured as an exclusive.

There is Naughty Dog hopefully. Is PS4's second biggest franchise not exciting enough? Also, I disagree. I think PS4 has a good first year line up. Maybe not incredible, but certainly good enough to match most of PS3's best years.

Weak? There already three AAA exclusives for 2014. Driveclub, The Order 1886 and Infamous Second Son and maybe the most popular new Uncharted.

Seems pretty stupid to buy a console that has no games you like. Not very responsible spending either.

We have Drive Club, Infamous, The Order, and The Witness coming out for 2014. Then we may be getting the next Uncharted game. That's just what we know for PS4. How in the hell is that incredibly weak?

I cry inside every time someone relies on metacritic to judge a game's quality or lack of quality. If we were debating something with facts then I guess you'd have to use it but this is just 1 person trying to say 1 set of games is bad and the other is good because the casual press said so.

Tales from your ass

Also why exclusives? The multiplats will be better on PS4 anyway.
Why exclusives?

Tell me something.....

If xbone had better exclusive than sony but ps4 had better multi plats, you'd buy an xbone or ps4?

Personaly, i dont mind the small differences.between the quality of multi plats on ps4 compared to xbone. Im not much of a graphics whore.

So yeah,.i bought a ps4 with longevity in mind, as well as for the 'many' sony studios working on ps4 games that we hav yet to hear a peep about.

I'm in the same boat as him. For the most part, buying any of these consoles day one is a large part of impulse buying.

Right now besides Resogun, there just isn't much that I'm into on the console.

You forgot The Show. It's the best baseball game on the market.

MLB is trash! I hope they overhaul it and give us a whole new experience this year.

I run the MLB Leagues in the community thread, so look for it next year!

Isn't it kind of contradictory to say you bought a PS4 for longevity and then slate Sony because some of the many studios you reference haven't announced games yet? We know they are all working on PS4 exclusives.

Also if nothing appealed to you currently announced and since you seem to have no interest in all the cool smaller games, and since you seem to have little care for better multi platform offers (which seems strange) then why buy the console at all at this point? Seems foolish.

So you're wowed by the actual game or metacritic scores? Killzone is a multiplayer game with a campaign attached to it. If it was rated as a multiplayer it would have scored much higher. That's the problem with metacritic isn't it.

Ahh, anyone could have guessed that dude.

Anything new for 2014 that hasnt been announced or revealed yet?

I would say this statement is more foolish.

Consumer gets excited about Sony Playstation hype, buys console, plays games, gets burned out with the available content. Considering this is a video game forum, it seems pretty realistic from an average poster's standards.

Then who cares? Seriously. I'd much rather see news on Demon's Souls II or Santa Monica's new game at this point. Sony seems like they're holding back big time.
 
If you only played exclusives you'd be playing only a handful of games a year. Multiplats are more important because they make up the vast majority of games. You think 360 sold so well for exclusives? This gen PS4 will have the best of both worlds.

While I've only had limited time with mine, I must say I've actually dropped all content in order to concentrate on Knack.

Originally I was splitting time with that and KZ, but once I got past the initial few stages and really wrapped my head around the combat ... I can't stop playing it. Haven't even opened BF4 or played the downloadable content (other than Flower).

Well I got my system today at Best Buy, showed up an hour early and was 7th in line. They had about 20 I believe. I found it pretty funny to hear people talk aloud about most of Xbones games being 720p compared to PS4.

Anyway, this fucking system is beautiful. Tje I was so paranoid about the HDMI issue and it looked all good so I hooked everything up and couldn't figure out where the damn power button was lol. I felt like an old man having to look at the instructions lol. Went through the setup quickly, the 1.51 update took no time, and redeemed all of my codes. This system just moves so fast and easily unlike PS3. I love how simple the UI is.

Played Resogun and it is so fun and crazy, I wish it had the 3D update already. Also played the Trine 2 demo in 3D and goddamn what a beautiful game. Amazing art. Also played the Fifa demo and it looked a good deal better, and sounded terrific, compared to the PS3 version. Also noted improved physics.

Didn't buy any $60 games today, but I am getting Killzone tomorrow along with ACIV and BF4 on black Friday. So glad next gen is here.

Driveclub, Infamous and The Order 1886 is a pretty strong lineup of games for year 1 and thats not accounting for other exclusives to be announced or downloadable titles.
 
I would say this statement is more foolish.

How so? Surely buying a console with games a person has zero interest in for at least the next year, maybe longer is a complete waste of money.

How is that a foolish statement. By waiting he would be able to skip all the issues with launch consoles, a larger library of games would be available and the price may have dropped (at least on some online retails).
