Is this a joke? Aside from Watch Dogs, which got delayed, there's pretty much nothing great coming out at launch.
I wasn't counting Melee. The rest are classic games (lots of old games are classics), but nothing that was vital to the system's success. When I think of Gamecube, I think of Wind Waker, Sunshine, RE4, Melee, and Metroid Prime off the top of my head. I don't think of any of the launch games.Super Monkey Ball, Pikmin, and Melee are unarguably classic games. Luigi's Mansion a game that only cool people like, but still.
Yes it does, it's going to be another Killzone Game with some small gameplay mutations and feature added in.
It's like when NSMBWU launched months after NSMB2.

One of the few things I here most is that both the launch line-ups of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are quitte disappointing. Why? Mainly because of the lack of exciting new exclusive titles and IPs.
I disagree.
Xbox One lineup is weak, PS4 has a nice lineup though.
I wouldn't go that far, but there are a quite of bit of games to play, like for PS4 I'm getting Killzone and Knack day one and on X1 Dead Rising 3, Crimson Dragon and Killer Instinct day one as well.
What about all those Indie PS4 titles also coming PC at the same time or very soon afterwards? Shouldn't they go into the multiplatform list?

I'm sorry, but while it had a lot of titles, many were pretty bad/boring. Out of all that SSX and Timesplitters were good fun. Smugglers run was so boring.
This launch is very weak. There is nothing to grab on to or be excited about. In all honesty it really doesn't make sense to pick up a PS4/ Xbox One until Destiny/ The Division comes out.
PS4 definitely has less exclusives, though I'd argue the best exclusive game this next gen is going to be Killzone Shadow Fall so at least there's something. Having said that, the PS4 should have the better versions of most if not all multiplatform titles, so in a way the PS4 is the defacto choice for some solid tent pole titles.
I'm not sure how people could say those launch lines up are great? Both look so damn weak to be honest, especially PS4.
Do you think people gonna play KZ, Knack for months? Excluding the multiplayer part and what they got is a damn boring games which could be completed in hours (IMHO because I played few of demos during E3). Xbone...? It would be the same thing but at least it got few titles and not that barren.
Erm...are you intentionally just ignoring multiplatform games? You know, the one's that will be by far the best selling games on either platform. Stuff like COD, BF4, AC etc.
There will be no drought. The PS4 has a shit tonne of amazing indie titles coming to it pretty much non stop (The Witness, Hookum, Octodad, Oddworld New 'n' Tasty, Transistor, Galak-Z etc). Add to that, kick starting 2014 there are tonnes of big titles coming out. InFamous, Destiny, TitanFall, Whitcher 3, The Crew and more.
Didnt the Crew get pushed to the end of 2014 at the earliest?
In a conference call this morning, Ubisoft said it expects Watch Dogs to be released in the first quarter of its fiscal year (between April 1 and June 30, 2014) and The Crew to be released in the second quarter (between July 1 and September 30, 2014).
In terms of variety, sure. But neither console has something as mind blowing as Mario 64.

Yeah man, completely agree there isn't a 'must have' game in there at all and that's a long way towards me finding it underwhelming.In terms of variety, sure. But neither console has something as mind blowing as Mario 64.
Maybe for you it's a good launch lineup, to me, it's mediocre at best. Few Japanese titles as well.............

That's pretty well how I'd describe it; mediocre. Just feels like maintaining the status quo to me and the tech is showing diminishing returns, especially since my friends and I have shifted to primarily PC games.
The launch is uninteresting for me, I'll probably get a PS4 eventually when there are more enticing titles in the mix but for now, no thank you. (Also best EVER? C'mon dawg...)
