And a new Fable title.

Watch and judge for yourself. Skip back a bit too where they've been in areas with hundreds of zombies and the game ran well.
ummm it's pretty obvious that MS only paid Polygon to trash sony's launch titles, no need to double up and pay for good reviews of shit MS games

Well if for some reason you can't find any, hit me up on pm and I see if we have any here and can perhaps get you a copy sooner rather then later.

Every $100.000 gets you one score, MS was cheap and only paid $750.000.
It's a new generation with different circumstances, so we can't say for certain how it will play out. The fact of the matter is that we have no idea what either Sony or Microsoft has in the pipeline. To just go ahead and say that Microsoft has shown their entire hand and will not offer much exclusive-wise beyond what they already have is simply premature.
On the contrary, they are in a position where they are going to need to secure as many exclusives as they possibly can and they are surely smart enough to see that now after the horrible start they had. Not to mention how the PS4 is off to such incredible sales. So don't be surprised if you see many 'only on Xbox One' titles popping up over the next few years.
this is a shitty post
Yeah, seems a select few "big" scenes are. I was cracking up in all the regular cut-scenes.

Different reviewers. Different types of games with different goals. Is this so hard to understand? Are you going to start comparing God War scores to Assassin's Creed scores?

It's ok man. You at least admitted it. That puts you over most these days.
I enjoyed Uncharted and Uncharted 2. I enjoyed DR and DR2 more. One can enjoy a Naughty Dog game and find other games to be more enjoyable.
Day 1 framerate patch explains it.

I'm not saying it's salt

MS has been notorious in the past for not showing anything up coming until the last final weeks. The argument has been made so many times before that MS has nothing coming for the year while the other platforms have X. Then, lo and behold, right before E3 leading up you start to see little things and then the big showing at the event itself. People just assumed every other year was a gears then a Halo and that was it. The last few years have been shallow, but the middle years were kept under tight wraps. Depending on what Q1 of '14 looks like, we may see them open the wallet a bit.

I didn't mean their entire hand, rather just most of their lineup for 2014. What's coming in 2014? Titanfall, a game I can on my PC or 360, but apparently still the biggest "Xbox One Exclusive," Fable Legends (after 3 bad Fable games, let's just say my expectations are low), Quantum Break (We barely know anything about it, but it's Remedy, they'll deliver), Sunset Overdrive (Yea, Insomniac ran Resistance and Ratchet into the ground then released Fuse... I'm not hopeful) and then, of course, the usual Halo (sorry, but i343 is no Bungie, not even close).
Now, I know I'm being rather cynical but This is just what I've come to expect from MS. My fear is that after an initial year or two of great support, they'll just resort to the usual Halo/Fable/Forza cycle they always do. Sony's been delivering great games for three generations now, MS has shown twice that they're willing to drop support for their old consoles the moment the new one is out the door (and hell, even sooner since the 360 barely had anything noteworthy after 2010).
MS showed their hand at E3 because they HAD to, probably not because they wanted to. Had this been any other year, they would have absolutely killed at E3. Sony announced what, 1 exclusive, a bunch of indies, and FFXV/KH3 multiplat and they "won" on a technicality. That's the big thing to keep in mind, Sony has barely shown anything at all. They're going to keep the hype going and so far, it's been working out pretty well for them.
Maybe some haven't been able to get it, which would explain the discrepancy in reviews. Some reviewers also haven't been able to try multiplayer in games yet.

Check out Kotaku's review.
Going to check DF next.
Edit: Just to be clear I mean that DR3 also had framerate issues at time of review and is also getting patched day 1.

Wow! So DR3 is the highest rated "AAA" exclusive for either console at launch. I wouldn't of guessed that for this time.
I love Sony's first party as well and have no doubt that it will deliver as usual. But I am not going to write Microsoft off with their money and being in such a position of scorn this time around. Not to mention having weaker hardware and being more expensive.
No, I like to think that they are smart enough to realize that the more killer exclusives they secure, the more value their system will be seen to have. All I know is that they are certainly off to a great start as far as my tastes go. Hopefully it will continue and we will have two platforms that are dripping with reasons to buy and enjoy each for years to come.

Kinda sad that a 78 on MC is the highest so far. But here's hoping Forza will be great.

That's because Forza hasn't been reviewed yet.

I hear that...it is launch though I guess. I'm just surprised it out rated Killzone so far. I know they're two different types of games.. but still. Didn't think that at this point, DR3 would be the king of them all so far. Ha.
We haven't seen Forza 5's reviews yet. I expect 8's maybe a 9 or two.

There was very noticeable texture pop-in, it's weird, like almost a haze outside everything 5-10 ft away, then textures pop-in when you get closer.

The real question is which reviewers played on the nightmare mode.
I want to know if that was done well

Videogamer.com did, and argue that it is what makes the game:

Dead Rising 3 used to be the only game I would've considered getting a launch XBone for. The only other somewhat competent launch title I find is Killer Instinct, but I don't really like fightan games, unless it includes superheroes or super saiyans.
This is really bad. FPS problems aside, most of these reviewers just confirmed for me that DR3 is a bland, uninspired title which loses its novelty after a couple of hours. Man, if only they decided to ditch the bleak brown n' bloom setting for the colorful one, akin to DR 2, it might be enough to push me to buy an XBone.

Glad to see the framerate was fixed for the most part, shame that digital foundry has been so overly eager to get articles out that they can't wait to test final release versions. Not to mention the actual quality of their articles has gone down and they switched to youtube of all things. They really need a competitor.

Thanks for the fantastic offer. I'll keep it in mind, but I hopefully I won't need to take you up on it...
LOL seriously? I like how you haven't played either of the games but you know that one is better than the other because reasons.
heh

Is this real life?
Dead Rising is still more impressive. not saying state of decay is bad or anything. I thought it was good. but theres no question about DR's scale being superior
sorry just trying out my console warrior shoes.
they don't fit so i'm returning them

Game looks like great stupid fun. Too bad that the Sony warriors are out in full force this week crapping on every Xbox thread. Gonna be a long week.
I'm buying a PS4 when it's out here in the UK and I think Dead Rising 3 looks awesome. Really wish I could afford both consoles.

Not surprising. Since DR is quite a solid franchise and this game was in development for a long time I expected it to be one of the better games in an otherwise boring launch line-up.
